In this powerful episode, Andy and Angela are joined by Paul Watkins – pharmacist turned ultra-marathon runner, builder, entrepreneur, and all-round legend. He’s dragged sleds across the Arctic, failed and returned to conquer Denali (North America’s highest peak), and run 500+km ultra-marathons in brutal conditions.

- 🎯 How to break big goals into doable chunks (just one hour at a time)
- 🔧 How rules beat willpower when it comes to daily habits
- 🚪 The difference between reversible vs. irreversible decisions
