Ep. 68 – Habits

Episode 68 – Habits: The Hidden Drivers of Your Life

Let’s talk about something that’s shaping your success—and maybe sabotaging it too—without you even realizing it: habits. In this episode of Pillar Talk, Chris breaks down the real power of habits and how they silently drive the outcomes in our lives, our work, and our relationships.

We tend to fixate on the bad ones. Quitting soda. Getting off social media. Stopping the late-night snacking. But the real game-changer is flipping that focus to the habits that serve us—the ones that help us grow, level up, and live better.

Chris walks us through two powerful truths:

• You are forming habits every single day, whether you realize it or not.
• Your thoughts → drive your actions → which shape your outcomes → and ultimately become your habits.

That’s why forming intentional, consistent, and positive habits is everything.

He shares examples of how small, almost insignificant changes—like reading 10 pages a day or walking before reacting to a frustrating email—compound into massive transformation over time. The key? Replace habits that break you with ones that build you. And don’t try to “stop” a bad habit by thinking about it. Instead, crowd it out with something better.

Chris even challenges the way we define success, explaining how measuring what you save (in time, energy, or money) may be more meaningful than what you earn or achieve.

This episode is full of actionable insights that hit hard for leaders at every level. Whether you’re in healthcare or life leadership, this one will make you rethink what you’re doing every day—and what it’s doing to you.
