In today’s episode, Emily interviews Brian Ford, the host of Self Improvement Daily, a personal development show where you get personal development in three minutes or less every day. He has over 20 million downloads and over five years of consistency on the show. In the episode, they discuss Brian’s journey of podcasting success and what he attributes that to. They also discuss his passion for helping individuals become better versions of themselves through habit formation, behavior change, and healthy emotional navigating. Brian believes that many people try hard to change their lives by using their willpower, but they often don't see much improvement because they may lack the much-needed self-discipline. He defines discipline as the consistent habit of making the right choices and taking the right actions despite circumstances. It starts with being aware of what needs to change, taking action to make those changes happen, and finally, being responsible for keeping up with them. One helpful idea that Brian shares is a 21-day challenge where you track your behavior to make changes easier.
