The Cost of “No Quit” | Full Auto Friday | 2/13/2026

This week’s Q&A tackles a mindset I respect—but one that can turn on you if you’re not careful. Two listeners ask different versions of the same question: can a “no quit” attitude become destructive? One is staying in a marriage he knows is unhealthy because he fears being labeled a quitter. The other can grind himself into the ground at work but doesn’t know how to recognize the point of diminishing returns. The third question comes from a man caught in an emotional affair, wrestling with guilt and the weight of repeating the same mistake that fractured his own family.
