In today’s episode, I’m joined by Hardik Jagda, entrepreneur and leading AI strategist at Proximity Works, for a conversation recorded from Radio Row at the Super Bowl. We talk about the real challenge facing executives right now as boards demand AI strategies while the technology evolves at breakneck speed. Hardik explains why many leaders get distracted by tools instead of focusing on outcomes, and why most AI pilots fail to produce meaningful ROI. We also discuss the cultural resistance slowing adoption, how AI can multiply a leader’s output, and why experimentation, mindset, and clear business goals matter more than chasing the latest technology trend.
In this episode, I remind you that success isn’t one moment; it’s showing up consistently. When you show up with intention, you build trust, create momentum, and put yourself in a position for more opportunities, options, and touches of favor. Confidence and identity aren’t built before action, they’re built by showing up. The days you don’t feel like it are the ones that matter most. Stay consistent, stay aligned, and let the small things compound. That’s where the real power is.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by recurring guest James Maslow and Ryan Walker, founder and CEO of TSMA, for a conversation about what it really takes to build a successful YouTube presence from the ground up. We talk about why so many creators and brands struggle to stay consistent, how Ryan built his own following before helping others scale, and why understanding audience psychology matters just as much as production quality. We also get into the difference between manipulation and real organic growth, the lasting value of long-form content, and how AI can give creators time back without replacing genuine human connection.
In today’s episode, I sit down with David Gastelum, founder of DASH, an AI-powered platform built to preserve the memories and stories that define a life. After 23 years as a Los Angeles firefighter responding to countless emergency calls, David began asking a powerful question: what happens to someone’s memories after they’re gone? That realization led him to create DASH, a digital legacy system that connects photos, videos, and personal stories to physical memorials using QR codes. We talk about honoring the people who shaped us, preserving family history beyond boxes of old photos, and how emerging technology may allow future generations to experience the voices, stories, and moments that shaped their lives.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Tim Markland, who I first met through a mutual connection after a conference in Washington, DC, to talk about the mindset behind happiness, ambition, and meaningful connection. We discuss the four pillars that guide my approach to life: gratitude, forgiveness, accountability, and effective communication. I explain why attaching your emotions to outcomes can create anxiety, and how focusing on aligned behaviors keeps you moving forward without losing perspective. We also talk about family, the importance of intentional time with loved ones, and what I’ve learned from interviewing high performers across industries about removing the interference that blocks your potential.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Eric Quanstrom, VP of GTM Engineering at Apollo.io, to talk about how AI is reshaping the way companies find customers and close deals. We get into the practical side of AI in business, from identifying the right prospects to reach out to, to crafting messaging that actually converts. Eric explains how tools like Apollo help teams prioritize leads, automate follow-ups, and create more efficient sales processes. We also talk about the future of AI, including a world where buying agents and selling agents handle much of the groundwork, allowing people to focus on the relationships and decisions that move business forward.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Shapiro, a board-certified cardiologist and nationally recognized physician advocate who helped launch one of the first agencies designed specifically to represent doctors. We talk about the mission behind MD Envoy, a new model inspired by sports representation that gives physicians support beyond the bedside. Our conversation covers physician burnout, mental health, and why many doctors struggle with the business and personal demands of their careers. Dr. Shapiro also shares how strategic representation, stronger physician voices, and modern platforms can improve healthcare outcomes while helping doctors build sustainable careers and make a broader impact across communities.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Devin Hester, former NFL star and widely regarded as the greatest punt returner in football history. We talk about the pressure of being the lone player back to field a punt, the emotional highs and lows that come with big moments, and the lessons football teaches that carry into life and business. Devin shares a story from a coach that changed the way he understands criticism and potential, and how that message now shapes the way he mentors young athletes. We also discuss his nonprofit work, coaching youth football, and why helping kids succeed on the field and in the classroom gives him the same passion he once felt playing the game.
In this episode, I talk about how worry is a duplicative negative that interferes with our energy, creativity, and focus. Many people think worry is preparation, but it actually drains the energy we need to solve problems and move forward. I explain how worry distorts risk, delays decisions, and causes us to miss opportunities, options, and touches of favor. When we bring our attention back to the present moment and focus on the next step, momentum begins to build. Stop the worry, refocus your energy, and take aligned action.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Anita Karadalian to talk about faith, frequency, and the power of meaning. I share why kids may not listen but always watch, how losing over $100 million reshaped my perspective, and why gratitude is a skill rooted in finding the light, love, and lesson in every setback. We discuss my five daily practices to elevate awareness, the importance of sleep and non negotiables, and how self image shapes achievement. I also explain why asking for help and receiving it is an act of faith, and how fulfillment comes from alignment, not external success.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Maru Kaneko, founder and CEO of VAULTÉ, a platform bringing tokenized luxury assets to the blockchain. We talk about how tokenization opens access to diamonds, jewelry, and other high-end assets that were once limited to insiders, and why major institutions are moving in this direction. Maru shares lessons from building multimillion-dollar companies at a young age, including how delegating the right tasks fuels scale. He also opens up about losing a hedge fund, paying heavy “dummy tax,” and rebuilding stronger. It’s a candid conversation about risk, resilience, timing, and believing in your vision when others don’t.
In today’s episode, I break down why so many of us don’t lack effort, we leak it. We confuse motion with progress, pack our schedules, and still avoid the scoreboard that tells us if we’re actually winning. I share six core lessons on intentional effort, exponential leverage, strategic constraints, reflection, rhythm and rest, and present focused momentum. When your purpose is clear and your non negotiables are protected, the same hours produce sharper decisions and bigger outcomes. Work hard plus work right becomes a formula for compounding results, reduced anxiety, and consistent growth aligned with your divine direction.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Tre Boston, former NFL safety and current TV host, to talk about faith, frequency, and the mindset that sustains greatness. From his “welcome to the NFL” lowlight against Russell Wilson to the lessons learned through public mistakes, Tre shares how belief, short memory, and gratitude shape resilience. We discuss forgiveness, life after football, and why opposition often attacks your greatest gifts. Tre opens up about the power of prayer and fasting, how a seven-day fast transformed his habits, and why true authority comes from knowing you are loved, redeemed, and aligned with something bigger than yourself.
In today’s episode, I sit down at Radio Row with Zuri Hall, an American TV personality and actress known for Access Hollywood and American Ninja Warrior. We talk about growing up in Toledo, Ohio, and how her father’s belief that anything is possible shaped her self-image and career. Zuri shares how she reconciles the “on camera” brand with who she really is, and why authenticity has become her greatest asset. We also discuss post-production content, building community in the digital era, and the power of choosing business partners who align with your values, even when it costs you opportunities.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Danny Cortenraede, Founder and Managing Partner of InStudio Ventures, and NFL quarterback Jameis Winston of the New York Giants. We talk about what it really takes for athletes to transition from the locker room to the boardroom, and why humility is the ultimate competitive advantage. Jameis shares how faith, stewardship, and disciplined planning shape his approach to wealth across family, health, and finance, while Danny explains what he looks for when partnering with elite athletes in venture capital. Together, we explore mentorship, long-term impact, and building influence that extends far beyond a championship ring or a billion-dollar exit.
In this episode, I remind you that success isn’t about speed—it’s about allowing opportunities to compound. Most people quit during the slow stages of hype and disappointment, but those who stay aligned long enough start to see opportunity, options, and touches of favor build. I talk about focusing on trajectory instead of comparison, developing emotional endurance, and positioning yourself where the future is already moving. When you stay consistent while others lose patience and leave early, small actions begin to compound into extraordinary outcomes.

In today’s episode, I share why being named Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Institute is both an honor and a responsibility tied directly to my mission of empowering over a billion people to be happy. I break down the four core values that shape my company culture, gratitude, empathy, accountability, and effective communication, and how consistent practice creates energy people want to work around. We also talk about entrepreneurship as the key to solving global challenges, why happiness means making money to help others and have fun, and the story behind my bold new book on removing toxicity from our lives.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Nik Atanackovic of The Victory Degree Podcast to break down what it really takes to make a lot of money, help a lot of people, and have a lot of fun. We talk about the biggest misconceptions around money, why giving and receiving don’t follow the rules most people assume, and how failing to receive actually limits your ability to serve others. I share the quantitative disciplines I use to measure interference, the non-negotiable behaviors that anchor my day, and why happiness comes from devotion to your potential, not attachment to outcomes. We also discuss fear, self-image, and removing toxicity from your life.
In today’s episode, I sit down with former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb, a 13-season veteran best known for leading the Philadelphia Eagles to five NFC Championship appearances and a Super Bowl. We talk about legacy, the Hall of Fame conversation, and how quarterbacks are evaluated beyond rings and stats. Donovan shares what it meant to follow pioneers who changed the game and how respect, resilience, and perspective shaped his journey. He explains why success is never as high or as low as it feels, the power of writing down goals, and how staying hungry keeps you moving forward long after the spotlight fades.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Somia Farid Silber, CEO of Edible Brands, to talk about scaling a family legacy into a modern, multi-brand powerhouse. From growing Edible Arrangements to launching edibles.com and expanding into fast casual with Roti Modern Mediterranean, Somia shares how she blends operational roots with strategic innovation. We discuss leading franchise communities, earning credibility inside a family business, and using AI to drive efficiency and long-term growth. She also opens up about navigating expectations, public speaking as an introvert, and inspiring the next generation of female entrepreneurs in an industry where less than 2% of women receive funding.
