Most people would rather live in the illusion of possibility —always dreaming and manifesting, yet avoiding what comes next: the real work, the courageous work, the transformative work.

Why?

Because let's face it:

  • Possibility is easy.
  • Possibility is sexy.
  • Possibility is safe.

In this Quick Hit, I'll help you identify 7 common symptoms of what I call the illusion or comfort zone of possibility —so you can avoid this land of missed opportunities and half-hearted dreamers.

What are the keys to sustainable happiness —and what gets in the way of bringing that to life?

Let's face it:

Happiness can seem to escape us, especially if we believe in a framework that doesn't actually make us happy.

However, there's a problem: if our definition of success and happiness isn't clear and based on our entire being —we may arrive at some benchmark of success...only to realize we're not happy.

Enter our latest guest, a world-renowned expert who taught the most popular course at Harvard —Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar. He is the co-founder of the Happiness Studies Academy, as well as the creator and instructor of the Certificate in Happiness Studies.

Tal Ben-Shahar is also a best-selling author whose books have been translated into more than 25 languages. Tal is also a certified yoga instructor whose work bridges Eastern and Western traditions, ancient wisdom and modern technology, science, and art.

Don't miss this episode where you'll discover the truth around happiness —and how to integrate it into your daily life.

During the last 11 years, I've gone all-in on my personal and professional growth —and today I'm excited to share the biggest lessons along the way.

1. Growth is messy, chaotic, unpredictable AF.

2. You’ll never feel “ready” to pursue what matters.

3. Fear of judgment is a reflection of your own doubts.

4. Transformation starts with staring nakedly at ourselves.

5. Discipline is easy when you’ve amplified your desire daily.

6. Success is about small steps no one else sees, compounded.

7. You can’t run, hide, or achieve enough to escape the inner work.

8. Success is an emotional state of aliveness —that can be created.

9. Not everyone has earned the right to know your deepest dreams.

10. Indecision is a momentum killer and creates an overthinking habit.

Don't miss this episode —and I'd love to hear from you @tommy_resistaverage on the one you need the most today!

Would you rather change 100 lives —or get 10,000 clicks and random followers? Sounds like a trick question...but it's not. 

Why?

Because we're living in a world where surface-area influence in terms of likes, clicks, hearts, and "fake" bots is becoming more important than the actual real-world impact you're bringing to the table.

And that's a problem.

In this episode, I was featured on my good friend and brother Jay Nixon's podcast —where we discussed this crucial mindset shift between impact and influence.

This is absolutely essential for any business owner, side hustler, or even anyone who simply wants to share a message...to ensure you don't fall for the gimmicks all around us.

We also give you a sneak preview of my new book, Hustlers & Seeker's in an inspiring, can't miss convo that's designed to fuel your growth from the inside out.

Ep. 204 | Chase Impact Over Influence with Tommy Baker & Jay Nixon

"Always begin with the end in mind." —Tommy Baker

"The dark side of only chasing influence is you focus on the wrong things." —Tommy Baker

"Look at longevity. If you look back at an influencer's feed, you want to see consistency." —Jay Nixon

Discipline is a result.
Discipline is a reaction.
Discipline is a consequence.

And guess what? It comes from two places:

DESIRE + URGENCY = DISCIPLINE.

Let me break these down for you:

➡️ DESIRE —amplify and expand your desire towards your dream, North Star, and feel it in every fiber of your being at least once per day. Push yourself until you're emotional.

➡️ URGENCY —get radically honest about the cost of staying the same, imagine a future where it never happens, set deadlines to wake you up and surround yourself with A players.

The end result? 👇🏼

  • You show up when you don’t feel like it.
  • You show up when the “high” has faded.
  • You show up when you swing and miss.

On today's Quick Hit with Tommy Baker of Resist Average Academy, you'll learn how to merge these two worlds to create a level of discipline unlike ever before.

On today’s Resist Average Academy episode, I get to welcome my wife Taylor —yes I get to say that now —back on the show for the third time.

We wanted to create this special episode as a way of breaking down one of the best moments of our lives —and distill the principles and lessons —from a dream experience where we got married on beautiful Maui.

In this episode, you’re going to discover how to give yourself permission to dream, why desire and urgency are crucial, how to avoid using language that negatively impacts your world, and tons more.

Along the way, we’ll share stories from a captivating Wedding experience we haven’t shared anywhere else.

Ep. 203 | This Is What You Used To Dream Of with Taylor Stone

"Only be available for possibilities." —Taylor Stone

"Give yourself permission again to dream up whatever your dream is once again." —Tommy Baker
