#3406: Extremity Becomes Identity

podcast September 10, 2025


Background
share close

In this episode, I’m breaking down how extremity becomes identity. When you live at the very edge of your craft, you stand apart from the dabblers who only do it halfway. I share how, back in my basketball days, players admired Kobe Bryant’s extreme work ethic even though most couldn’t match it. To make something part of your identity, you don’t have to be the only one doing it, you just have to take it further than anyone else. I’ll explain how to push to that level so your extreme becomes who you are.

Show Notes: 

[03:07]#1 Things you do at the extreme are how people come to define you. 

[10:47]#2 Repetition at the edges forces recognition. 

[17:54]#3  Extremity creates separation.
