About
New Year’s resolutions are superficial wish lists, not commitments.
In this episode of the Manly Deeds Podcast, we kick off the year by breaking down why New Year’s resolutions don’t work, why most people quit before February, and what actually creates lasting change.
We get into:
• Why goals beat resolutions every time
• The real difference between motivation and discipline
• Why “giving yourself grace” can actually hold you back
• How small wins build real momentum
• Why failure isn’t failure, it’s feedback
• And how to reset without quitting when you fall off
Plus, we introduce a new segment called Truth or Cap where we debate some real-life statements most people can't agree on.
If you’ve ever fallen off your goals, struggled to stay consistent, or felt stuck waiting to “feel motivated,” this episode is for you.
