You act — and those repeated actions, over time, become your character. Praxis is the step. Ethos is the path. And eventually, the path becomes the only way you walk.\n\nDrawing on franchising, dog grooming, ancient road-making, and his own hard-won experience — including being called out at 181 kilos for wanting to be a men's coach — Craig makes a case that is equal parts philosophical and brutally practical. Your calendar, your bank account, your five closest relationships: these are your Ethos. Not your stated values. Not your intentions. Your patterns.\n\nThis episode lands the sixth layer of the Arete Pyramid with a question that doesn't let you off the hook: if your current behaviors stayed exactly the same for the next 12 months, who would you inevitably become?\n\nThe Arete descent doesn't reward intention. It rewards alignment in action."}
