In this episode of The Hard Truth, Jeremy Fouts tackles the uncomfortable truth most people avoid: nobody is coming to save you your life, your success, and your future are up to you.
Jeremy dives into why so many adults and young athletes stay stuck by chasing approval, fearing criticism, and living small to stay comfortable. He shares how this mindset slowly destroys potential and how the courage to be misunderstood is what separates people who rise from those who remain average. Through stories from his own life, his sons’ journeys, and hard lessons learned while coaching athletes, Jeremy breaks down why resilience, confidence, communication, and personal responsibility are the real keys to winning in sports and in life.
He reveals the hard truth: Most people don’t care enough to fix your problems they’re too busy with their own. But the good news? That means the power has always been yours.
From learning to handle criticism to leading by example as parents, this episode is a fire-lit reminder to stop living for approval and start living with intention, discipline, and purpose. Because the people who succeed aren’t lucky they’re the ones who show up when nobody else will.
