Stream On Your Favorite Player

What if the secret to living fully wasn’t chasing results, but mastering yourself, embracing the journey, and taking on bold challenges that scare you?

In this episode of Bad Day Excellence, Brian Walsh breaks down three powerful strategies for living a regret-free life:

  1. The Dichotomy of Control – Why letting go of what you can’t control and owning what you can will free you from stress and people-pleasing.

  2. Stop Chasing Results – How focusing on the process, not the destination, compounds into exponential growth.

  3. The Misogi Challenge – The annual, life-defining challenge that will push you beyond your comfort zone and give you stories worth remembering.

Along the way, Brian shares lessons from Stoic philosophy, Drake’s “YOLO,” Aerosmith, and personal experiences like writing his book, running a marathon, and cycling 75 miles for charity.

By the end, you’ll have a framework to: ✅ Focus on what truly matters ✅ Create momentum through consistent habits ✅ Stretch your limits with challenges that redefine your potential

If you’re ready to stop living on autopilot and start building a life filled with meaning, growth, and unforgettable stories, this episode is for you.
