    The Quiet Work Behind Loud Success
    2025/12/17

I share why consistency always outperforms sporadic effort and how the extra mile traps so many people in short bursts of motivation. I explain the power of small daily commitments, the way energy accelerates and compounds over time, and what it feels like to live in the empty mile where few people are willing to show up. I also open up about my work with the Unstoppable Foundation and why service anchors everything I do.

We get into the razor-thin margins he experienced as a young McDonald’s franchisee, the broken incentives that push fees higher, and why communities benefit when restaurants can serve their own customers again. It’s a straightforward approach focused on fairness, transparency, and long-term sustainability.

Alli walks through the BOD System’s approach to thoughts, feelings, hormones, and actions, while Sebastian explains how a healthier workforce reduces chronic disease, boosts culture, and saves companies real money. Their vision is simple: create workplaces where people feel supported, connected, and genuinely healthier.
