In this solo episode of the Transparently Jordan Podcast, host Jordan Disanjh challenges the idea that growth has to wait for January 1. Instead of relying on New Year’s resolutions that statistically fail, Jordan breaks down why meaningful change can and should start any time of the year.

Using real statistics from Australia, psychology-backed research, and personal experiences as a physiotherapist, endurance athlete, and business owner, Jordan explores why motivation fades, why habits matter more than willpower, and why age is never a valid excuse to stop chasing growth.

This episode is a powerful reminder that you don’t need a new year, a new week, or a perfect moment you just need to start.
