About this listen
Welcome to Episode 2 of Fuck the Shortcut my favorite podcast… mostly because it’s mine.
I’m Max, a registered dietitian who helps people stop chasing “perfect” and start making real progress in their health, fitness, and life.
In today’s episode, I dive into something that’s been weighing on me lately: perfectionism. But not in the “I’m a perfectionist, and that’s just who I am” kind of way. I break down how perfectionism shows up as anxiety, procrastination, and comparison and why it’s one of the biggest killers of progress, whether you're building a business or trying to lose 15 pounds.
You'll learn:
Why chasing the perfect plan is holding you back
How "more info" becomes noise (and what to do instead)
What I teach my clients to actually create change
How to define done so you stop moving your own finish line
Why every failure is just another valuable data point
This episode is part rant, part mindset reset and packed with practical advice you can apply right now.
Take messy action. Fail. Learn. Repeat. That’s the real shortcut.
