Resilience isn’t only built through grit, it’s built through perspective. In this episode of Tom’s Life Lab, Tom explores how making hard things fun can radically change how we experience challenge.
Drawing on his early experiences pitching HEX and facing constant rejection, Tom explains how gamifying setbacks helped him reframe failure, build resilience, and keep moving forward. You’ll learn why turning difficulty into a game reduces fear, increases persistence, and helps you carry the weight of hard moments differently.
This episode includes a simple, practical experiment you can try this week to gamify something you’ve been avoiding and see what changes.
