Defeating Can't Podcast
Welcome to the Defeating Can't Podcast, ignited by the roots of a remarkable journey that began in 2017. What began as a strategy for professional and personal achievement evolved into a local apparel brand across Hawai'i, resonating nationally and internationally. Beyond clothing, my journey delved into psychology, a passion for mental health, suicide prevention, and the science behind optimizing human performance—the "Science of CAN."
This podcast features interviews with friends, family, and inspired individuals from Kaua'i, and throughout the CAN. world, all united in our collective journey to conquer self-defeating thoughts. We refuse to surrender to a life veiled in quiet desperation, as aptly put by Thoreau. Instead, this concept, our business, and this podcast endeavors to contribute a verse, however modest, to enrich lives. Join me as we explore defeating limitations and embracing the Spirit of "CAN."
Remember, the discussions and concepts discussed in this podcast are for informational purposes only. If the 'can't" in your mind ever becomes too much, we encourage you to consult with a qualified professional. CAN. Ask for Help.

CAN. THRIVE Series – Ep.3 | Resistance, Avoidance & Procrastination: Why We All Do It (and How to Push Through)
In this episode of the CAN. THRIVE Series, hosts Jason Carnagie and Andy Bestwick dive into the all-too-familiar struggles of resistance, avoidance, and procrastination—and why they show up even when we know what we want.
Drawing from their personal journeys, Jason (a fitness specialist and coach) and Andy (an entrepreneur rooted in positive psychology) explore the deeper mental blocks that keep us stuck and share practical strategies to break through. From reframing your mindset to taking small, imperfect steps forward, they challenge listeners to approach growth with curiosity instead of judgment.
You’ll hear insights on:
- Why resistance often shows up right before growth
- The power of an experimental mindset
- How to build momentum when motivation is low
- Why seeking support and structure can make all the difference
At the heart of the conversation is the reminder that pushing forward—even slowly—is at the core of the CAN. mindset. This episode is equal parts real talk and encouragement, designed to help you recognize your patterns and move past them with purpose.
You’ll also hear about the vision behind the podcast, how the Defeating CAN’T mindset inspired this series, and ways to stay connected through social media, future episodes, and merch that supports the mission.
