What if the tiny decisions you think don’t matter are the very ones sabotaging your life? In this fire-breathing, practical episode of The Impossible Life, Garrett and Nick bring sharp tools and deep truths to expose the root of complacency—and how to kill it before it kills your purpose. Nick opens by breaking down how “Today Matters” isn’t just a nice phrase—it’s a lifestyle. He shares how a single conversation about the time we spend in traffic (8,600+ hours in a lifetime!) changed his entire view on daily decisions. Garrett brings the intensity as always, sharing how his life-and-death experiences taught him to obey the whole command, not just the parts that feel convenient. From small disciplines like making your bed to guarding your words with military-level caution, this episode will challenge you to see every moment as a weapon or a wound. 🔥
Topics You’ll Learn:

The true cost of complacency and why your “off days” matter
How your default patterns are silently destroying your purpose
Why Garrett refuses to say things like “I’m too tired” or “I can’t”
How thoughts and words shape your identity more than anything else

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “It’s just a little thing…”—this episode is your wake-up call. Because here’s the truth: The little things are the big things.
