Doing What You Know Podcast
You already know what to do.
So why don’t you do it?
The Doing What You Know Podcast explores the invisible barrier between knowing and doing, and what it takes to break through it.
Hosted by Ray Thigpen, author of Doing What You Know: Breaking Through the Invisible Barrier, this podcast focuses on identity, discipline, consistency, and follow-through. These conversations are about execution, not hype.
New episodes every Sunday at 6:00 PM EST.
What do you do when you fall behind?
In this episode, Ray shares a real, unfiltered story from the Neuse River Senior Games, where he lost the first game of the tournament… and went on to win the Triple Crown.
This isn’t about pickleball.
It’s about mindset.
It’s about what happens in that moment when things don’t go your way, and how your response determines everything that follows.
From missed shots to mental resets, this episode breaks down how small moments turn into big outcomes… and why most people lose long before the game is actually over.
If you’ve ever felt behind in life, business, or anything that matters, this one will hit.
