A third DUI, a family tragedy, and a choice that changed everything. Morgan Sheedy joins us to share how he rebuilt his life by following a simple compass: want, structure, discipline, and grace. The story is raw and hopeful, grounded in practical steps you can start today—whether you’re pursuing sobriety, chasing a promotion, or trying to get your health back on track.

We dig into why clarity of want is non-negotiable and how structure makes discipline easier. Morgan lays out the morning tactics that outpace excuses, the power of planning tomorrow before you leave work, and the Slight Edge approach that turns tiny daily actions into compounding results. We explore the Chimp Paradox to manage impulses, why “discipline crushes motivation,” and how to “feed the chimp” with healthy rewards so you show up even when you don’t feel like it.

The conversation moves from rock bottom to purpose. Morgan opens up about rehab, grief, and the moment he chose sobriety for himself. He explains why systems beat goals, how habit stacking anchors new behaviors, and the role of reflection and celebration in keeping momentum alive. You’ll also hear how volunteering led him to keynote speaking, where he now helps teams and students find their true north and win their day with simple, repeatable tools.

If you’re ready to trade comfort now for what you want most, this episode offers a roadmap. Listen, take one small step before the day ends, and tell us what you’ll start. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with someone who needs a nudge toward their true north.
