Welcome to Episode 2 of Fuck the Shortcut my favorite podcast… mostly because it’s mine.

I’m Max, a registered dietitian who helps people stop chasing “perfect” and start making real progress in their health, fitness, and life.

In today’s episode, I dive into something that’s been weighing on me lately: perfectionism. But not in the “I’m a perfectionist, and that’s just who I am” kind of way. I break down how perfectionism shows up as anxiety, procrastination, and comparison and why it’s one of the biggest killers of progress, whether you're building a business or trying to lose 15 pounds.

You'll learn:

• Why chasing the perfect plan is holding you back

• How "more info" becomes noise (and what to do instead)

• What I teach my clients to actually create change

• How to define done so you stop moving your own finish line

• Why every failure is just another valuable data point

This episode is part rant, part mindset reset and packed with practical advice you can apply right now.

Take messy action. Fail. Learn. Repeat. That’s the real shortcut.

Welcome to the first episode of my podcast. My name is Max, I am a registered dietitian and I am tired of seeing people fall victim to misinformation because they are always looking for a shortcut to their goals.

Taking the long road leads to more skill-building and lasting results.

So I hope you'll follow along and learn why you should say f*uck the shortcut.
