How to Reset After You Drift: Nate Checketts on Mindset, Movement, and Micro-Habits for T1D

Neil sits down with Nate Checketts, CEO and co-founder of Rhone and former chairman of Beyond Type 1, to talk about what it really means to reset after you drift off track.

They unpack how leadership, fatherhood, and living with type 1 diabetes all intersect...and how small, consistent actions (not massive overhauls) can rebuild momentum when you’ve lost it.

It’s a conversation about grace, discipline, and building systems that make resets easier...because perfection isn’t the goal. Traction is.

What You’ll Learn

• Why even disciplined people drift...and how to spot it early
• The mindset shift from perfection to progress
• How living with T1D teaches empathy and leadership
• Why movement unlocks honesty (the story behind Rhone’s “Mind & Muscle” events)
• The power of micro-habits: consistency → intensity → technique
• How to rebuild confidence after burnout

Take Action

Identify one small habit you can repeat daily this week...no matter how simple.
Try Nate’s “10-minute reset rule”: spend 10 minutes organizing, reflecting, or planning each day.
