Welcome back to Cardcast! You know the drill—one card, one idea, one conversation that somehow manages to switch from coaching to donuts to polar expeditions. Today’s pick from the deck? The 20 Mile March (which is also a concept based on the book “Great by Choice” by Jim Collins).

The 20 Mile March is our way of saying: discipline beats drama. It’s about committing to steady, predictable progress—rain or shine, good day or bad—without sprinting so far ahead that you burn out. Think explorers crossing the South Pole, or Southwest Airlines patiently sticking to Texas before taking flight elsewhere. The magic here is in the rhythm: not too little, not too much, just the right pace to go the distance.

In this episode, we unpack how this deceptively simple concept plays out everywhere—from building companies to writing books to sticking with your gym routine. We swap stories of success, failure, and even donuts (yes, really). The takeaway? The 20 Mile March isn’t about speed—it’s about consistency, resilience, and knowing when to push and when to pause.

Key-Card points:

• Consistency beats intensity

• Set both lower and upper bounds

• Predictability creates resilience

• Compounding is powerful

• Design your own march
