This Beats Talent Every Time

What if talent is overrated?

In this episode of The Green Writer Show, bestselling authors S. D. Smith (The Green Ember) and Brett Harris (Do Hard Things, The Young Writer’s Workshop) explore why consistent habits beat raw talent every time.

With wisdom from ancient generals, Aristotle, and even the tortoise and the hare, they make the case that discipline is destiny — especially for young writers.

You’ll discover:

- Why relying on inspiration is a trap

- How to build sustainable writing routines

- What the “100 for 100 Challenge” can do for your writing life

- The surprising power of rest as part of your discipline

- And why excellence isn’t magic — it’s a habit

This is your permission to stop waiting for the perfect moment—and start building the habits that will carry you farther than talent ever could.
