Despite the Limits

By: Scot Storey
  • Summary

  • My name is Scot Storey, and I created this podcast, “Despite the Limits” to provide short conversations aimed at helping leaders grow professionally and personally. As a lifelong student of human connection, leadership, and communication, I am passionate about shaping the growth and capabilities of leaders. My personal journey in leadership development has been shaped by a career of service in the US Army’s Special Operations Forces leading numerous teams from just a few operators to organizations several thousand people strong, with the Army’s Rangers, Green Berets and Civil Affairs units in some the world’s most remote and arduous conditions. I believe in the power of a good story to shape personal connections and help people reach their full potential. That is what this podcast is all about.

    This first episode of season 2 comes from a listener suggestion. Bill Emig reached out to me through Facebook and asked me about discipline. Specifically, he asked me about cultivating a life of discipline.

    This episode is about the two key components to cultivating discipline, habit and identity. I talk about why it is so hard to change bad habits and how to use the habit cycle to change them. I also talk about how to build new habits from scratch. I close out with some talk about motivation and consistency.

    If you want to build discipline into your life, I recommend three books to help you. “The Talent Code” by Daniel Coyle. “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg, and “The Power to Change” by Craig Groeshel. These three books have really helped me as I strive to maintain discipline.

    Let’s continue the conversation!

    Episode 24 is the final episode in this first season of “Despite the Limits”. In it I revisit the reason why I started the podcast in the first place. I discuss some recurring themes through the season. I also talk a little about changes you can expect in Season 2.

    Despite the Limits is intended to provide short conversations aimed at helping leaders grow professionally and personally. These are lessons I learned from more than 30 years in the Army’s Rangers, Green Berets and Civil Affairs, along with more than 20 years in both voluntary and vocational ministry.

    There were three recurring themes in Season 1. First, while some limits are real, most are creations of our own minds so we can stretch, bend or even break them. Second, failure is not an option but rather a part of our growth process. Finally, we absolutely need community.

    I close out our discussion with three changes you can expect in season 2. First, I will begin to incorporate other voices through some interviews and conversations with other leaders in some upcoming episodes. Second, I am going to shift the content more toward better communication. The third change is possibly the biggest, I am starting a new job which will influence how I do the podcast in the future.

    I am really grateful that you have joined me for season 1 and look forward to continuing our conversations in 2025.

    The end of 2024 is just around the corner and I had some thoughts to share so here is a bonus episode. In episode 23 I talked about doing an end of year review. This episode explores the concept of New Year’s resolutions and talks about while they are good things, we probably should not wait for the New Year to start incorporating any changes.
