Adversity isn’t a dead end—it’s a test. The best don’t just endure struggles; they use them as fuel. In today’s episode of The Daily Drive, we break down The RISE Framework, a battle-tested system for turning challenges into momentum.


We’ll explore:

• How to Recognize Reality without emotional distortion.

• Why identifying the right leverage points matters more than effort.

• The power of shifting perspective to see obstacles as opportunities.

• How to execute relentlessly and adjust on the fly.


We’ll also break down Kobe Bryant’s Achilles injury and how he applied this exact process to come back stronger. If you’re struggling right now, this episode is your playbook. Let’s get to work.
