Ep. 72 – Sacrifice

In this powerful episode of Pillar Talk, Chris Ross challenges us to reframe our understanding of sacrifice—not as a loss, but as an intentional transfer of energy. Sparked by Memorial Day reflections and his own military service, Chris shares a deeply personal perspective on what sacrifice really means and why it’s essential for leaders who want to grow.

But this episode isn’t about the ultimate sacrifices made by heroes in uniform. It’s about how you honor their example by making your own. Chris outlines five critical areas where real sacrifice can unlock real results:

• Time: You say you don’t have enough? That’s an excuse. You have to make time by giving up what’s comfortable but unproductive.
• Excuses: You can’t be successful and be a master excuse-maker. Pick one.
• People & Opinions: Some people aren’t rooting for your growth. And most opinions aren’t worth hearing.
• Comfort: Success is on the other side of discomfort. Period.
• Identity: Stop clinging to who you were. Sacrifice that version and start becoming who you’re meant to be.

This isn’t just a motivational rant—it’s a direct challenge to take stock of what you’re clinging to and ask yourself: “Is this helping me grow?” Because success doesn’t happen without trade-offs. And most of us are just one bold sacrifice away from leveling up.

🎧 Tune in now and ask yourself: What’s one thing you’re willing to give up… to get everything you really want?
