Why do we instinctively believe that more is the answer? More training, more strategies, more effort—when sometimes, the real key to progress is less. In this episode of The Daily Drive, we dive into Additive Bias, the tendency to solve problems by adding rather than simplifying.


You’ll learn how this bias affects athletes, coaches, and high performers, and why removing distractions, refining fundamentals, and simplifying systems can lead to greater success. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or constantly chasing improvement without results, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach.


Listen now and ask yourself: What can I subtract today to move forward?
