Elon Musk, Obsession, and Why Weekends Are a Lie - EP 242

Love him or hate him, Elon Musk is rewriting entire industries – rockets, cars, tunnels, brains – and doing it on timelines that make normal people want to throw up. In this episode, I sit down with “Griselda” herself to break down the real playbook behind that kind of domination and how you can steal it for your clinic, your business, and your life.

We get into why Musk never starts from “best practices,” and instead tears everything down to first principles: physics, reality, truth. I share stories of how he built drills that crawl like moles, hacked $150,000 parts down to $5,000, and why he’s allergic to extra steps, middlemen, and bloated corporate bullshit. Then we translate it straight into your world: how to question every process in your clinic, strip out friction, and borrow systems from completely different industries to run leaner and faster.

We also talk about the thing that actually separates people like Elon from everyone else: obsession. Working weekends. Sleeping on the factory floor. Setting “impossible” deadlines so big they make your team’s eyes bleed—and why I’d rather see you hit 70% of an insane goal than 100% of a safe one. We hit mission over profit, sacrificing margin to stay in integrity, cutting toxic “networking,” and choosing a circle that actually helps you win.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re crazy for wanting more, this episode will either make you feel seen… or call you out for coasting. Either way, you’re going to walk away with a clearer standard for how you lead, work, and build something that actually matters.
