Chay Nott Discipline Journey: From Creative Hustle to Ultra Marathons

The Chay Nott discipline journey is a powerful example of what’s possible when mindset meets consistency. In this episode of Palm Harbor Local, host Donnie Hathaway sits down with local creative, athlete, and entrepreneur Chay Nott, whose story proves that personal growth doesn’t come from comfort—it comes from pushing your limits.

Chay’s journey began in musical theater, took a turn into photography and videography, and eventually led to ultra-marathons and extreme challenges. His transformation didn’t come overnight. It was built through daily habits, physical discomfort, mental resilience, and a deep commitment to living with integrity. Chay shares how programs like 75 Hard, cold plunges, and deep self-auditing became tools for building discipline and focus.

What makes this story even more compelling is the moment that shifted Chay’s entire mindset—a message from someone he barely knew who said, “Watching you level up made me realize I could do it too.” From that point on, Chay’s mission became bigger than himself.

As you listen, you’ll discover:

  • How discipline changes your mindset and identity

  • What running 46 miles in the Florida heat teaches you about yourself

  • Why doing hard things actually makes life easier

  • How Chay Nott uses his media skills to support artists and businesses

Whether you’re a creative, a business owner, or someone stuck in a rut, Chay’s story shows that anyone can change their life by showing up consistently—even when it’s uncomfortable.
