What if the biggest thing holding you back right now isn’t failure… but the quiet ways you’re letting yourself play small?
In this mashup episode, I brought together some incredibly powerful voices to challenge the way you think about your mindset, your habits, and ultimately your life. You’re going to hear from Stephen Scoggins, Jon Gordon, Titus O’Neil, Rich Diviney, and Scott Galloway, and every one of them delivers a different angle on what it really takes to break through and become the person you were meant to be. This is not surface-level motivation. This is about confronting the truth of where you are and deciding to rise anyway.
Stephen Scoggins shares how your past does not disqualify you, but it can trap you if you let it define your identity. Jon Gordon brings the energy and reminds you that positivity is not naive, it is a competitive advantage. Titus O’Neil opens up about pain, adversity, and choosing to turn your struggles into purpose. Rich Diviney breaks down the idea that elite performance is built through preparation and discipline long before the moment arrives. And Scott Galloway gives you a real-world perspective on discipline, choices, and the trade-offs required to build a meaningful life. Every conversation points back to one thing. You have more control than you think, but you have to take it.
I also get real with you in this episode about the internal battles that most people never talk about. The comparison game, the need for approval, and the subtle ways we sabotage our own happiness and progress. If you are constantly measuring yourself against others, you are draining your energy and robbing yourself of fulfillment. That is one of the most dangerous weapons you can use against yourself, and most people don’t even realize they are doing it.
We also dig into the truth about what actually kills dreams. It is not a lack of talent. It is not even failure. It is discouragement, distraction, and the slow drift away from your purpose. When you become aware of those forces, they begin to lose their power over you. That awareness is where your breakthrough starts. That is where you take your life back.
This episode is a wake-up call. You were not born to live average. You were not meant to play small or sit on the sidelines of your own life. You are in a race to become the best version of yourself, and every decision you make is either moving you closer or further away. It is time to get intentional. It is time to raise your standard. It is time to max out.
Key Takeaways:
Why your past only has power if you attach your identity to it
How positivity and energy can become your greatest competitive edge
The hidden danger of comparison and how it steals your happiness
The real reason most people fall short of their potential
How elite performers build confidence through preparation and discipline
Why awareness is the first step to breaking negative patterns
The importance of taking control of your life instead of drifting through it

What If the Secret to Winning Isn’t Hustling Harder… But Becoming More Present in Your Own Life?
I’ve had a lot of conversations on this show, but this one with Pete Holmes hit me in a completely different way. I brought Pete on because I think he’s one of the funniest people on the planet. But what I discovered sitting across from him is that behind the comedy is a level of depth, awareness, and truth that most people never tap into. This conversation is about success, yes. But it is also about life, presence, and what really matters when it’s all said and done.
We got into what it really takes to get great at something. Pete broke down a concept that applies to every single one of you, whether you are in business, sales, parenting, or leadership. Do not compare your chapter one to someone else’s chapter ten. Early on, he focused on simply being one of the best in the room he was in. That mindset alone will change how you approach growth. It is not about being the best in the world right away. It is about winning where you are, stacking small victories, and building confidence one step at a time.
But where this conversation really took a turn was when we started talking about presence and awareness. Pete shared something that stuck with me deeply. He said most of us are living for the next moment instead of the one we are in. That hit me hard because I have lived that way for a long time. Always chasing the next thing, the next win, the next level. And what you will hear in this episode is a reminder that this moment right now is your life. Not the next one. Not the one after that. This one.
We also went deep into belief, faith, and purpose. Pete has this incredible perspective on God and awareness that challenges you to think differently. Whether you are religious or not, what he shares will stretch your thinking. He talks about how we are all connected, how we belong to each other, and how much of life is about remembering that truth. It is one of the most powerful and thought-provoking conversations I have had in a long time.
And then we brought it back to something practical that every high achiever needs to hear. At some point, you have to audit your dream. You have to ask yourself if what you are chasing is still what you want. Pete made a decision to prioritize his family and his life over constant hustle, and it has made him better at what he does. That takes courage. Real courage. This episode is going to challenge how you think about success, fulfillment, and the life you are building.
Key Takeaways:
Why comparing your beginning to someone else’s success is killing your growth
The power of being fully present and why this moment is your life
How to evaluate your progress based on your current environment
A new way to think about God, awareness, and human connection
Why high achievers must audit their dreams and redefine success over time
How balance and intentional living can actually make you better at your craft

What if the biggest things holding you back aren’t outside forces… but the subtle patterns, beliefs, and habits quietly working against you every single day?
In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together powerful conversations with Tom Patterson, Dr. Taryn Marie, and Jay Shetty to expose what’s really standing between you and the life you’re capable of living. This is not about surface-level motivation. This is about identifying the hidden forces that are stealing your confidence, your peace, and ultimately your potential.
Tom Patterson shares what it takes to keep going when life tests you at the highest level. His journey is a masterclass in resilience and perspective, reminding you that adversity is not the end of your story. It is often the very thing shaping you into who you are meant to become. Dr. Taryn Marie brings a deeper emotional and psychological lens, helping you understand how your internal world, your thoughts, your self-talk, and your patterns are either empowering you or quietly sabotaging you.
And Jay Shetty breaks down something we all struggle with but rarely address honestly. The way we compare ourselves, the way we judge our progress, and the way we define success can either fuel fulfillment or create constant dissatisfaction. When you start to understand these patterns, you begin to take back control of your life instead of reacting to it.
Throughout this episode, I’m challenging you to raise your awareness. Because once you become aware of what’s holding you back, it loses its power over you. Whether it is discouragement, comparison, or limiting beliefs, these are not permanent conditions. They are patterns that can be broken. And when you break them, everything changes.
This is about becoming intentional. It is about stepping into ownership of your thoughts, your energy, and your actions. Because the truth is, the life you want is not as far away as you think. You just need to remove what is standing in the way.
Key Takeaways:
Why awareness is the first step to breaking the patterns that hold you back
How discouragement quietly robs you of confidence and momentum
The hidden danger of comparison and how it creates unnecessary unhappiness
Why your internal dialogue shapes your external results
How resilience is built through adversity, not comfort
The importance of taking control of your emotional and mental state
Why fulfillment comes from alignment, not constant achievement
I want you to walk away from this episode with a new level of awareness. Because once you see what’s been holding you back, you can’t unsee it. And that is where your power begins.

What if the very thing you’ve been avoiding your entire life… is actually the key to unlocking your greatest success?
In this conversation with John Maxwell, we go deep on something every single one of you deals with, but almost nobody has mastered… failure. And I’ve got to tell you, this one hit me personally. John has been a mentor, a friend, and someone I look up to in a way that’s hard to even put into words. So when we sat down to talk about his new work on failure, I knew this wasn’t going to be surface-level. This is the real stuff that defines your life.
John breaks down why most people never even get in the game. It’s not a lack of talent. It’s not a lack of opportunity. It’s that they haven’t gotten over themselves. That fear of looking bad, of being judged, of failing publicly… it keeps people stuck in the bleachers. And one of the most powerful distinctions we talk about is this idea of a “good miss” versus a “bad miss.” Because failure itself isn’t what defines you… your response to it is. That alone could change your entire life if you really take it in.
We also unpack something I’ve never heard explained this way before. Success and failure are meant to be together. You separate them, and you lose. When you’re winning, failure keeps you humble. When you’re struggling, success gives you resilience. That balance is where growth actually happens. And John shares how reframing failure from a liability into an asset completely transformed not just his career, but his entire perspective on life.
This episode is also about leadership. About how you lead your family, your team, and yourself through setbacks. John made it clear that when successful people talk about their failures, it gives everyone else permission to keep going. It encourages people. It lifts them. And I had to check myself in this conversation too… because the truth is, when we only show our wins, we might actually be discouraging the very people we’re trying to help.
If you’ve been holding back, playing it safe, or letting the fear of failure control your decisions… this is the episode you need right now. This isn’t just about failure. It’s about freedom.
Key Takeaways:
Why fear of failure is really about ego and how to break free from it
The difference between a “good miss” and a “bad miss” and why your response matters most
How keeping success and failure together builds both humility and resilience
Why failure should move you, not define you or make you comfortable
How great leaders use their failures to inspire and develop others
The mindset shift that turns failure from a liability into your greatest asset

What if the real reason you’re not winning yet isn’t a lack of talent… but a refusal to raise your standard?
In this mashup, I’m bringing you some of the most powerful voices in personal development to confront a question most people avoid asking themselves. Am I really doing everything it takes to reach my dreams, or am I just staying comfortable? I sit down with Tom Bilyeu, Jesse Itzler, Eric Thomas, and Brendon Burchard to break down what actually separates people who talk about success from those who live it.
One of the biggest truths we uncover is that success is not about who you are today. It’s about who you are willing to become. I share openly how I had to rebuild my confidence from nothing by keeping small promises to myself and stacking wins day by day. Brendon Burchard breaks down why accountability is the missing link for most people and how fear of judgment keeps you stuck playing small. And Eric Thomas brings the fire with a message most people need to hear. Either raise your standards or lower your expectations, but stop lying to yourself about the gap.
You’re also going to hear something that could completely change how you view your life. From Jesse Itzler, we talk about stepping into rooms you are not prepared for and figuring it out later. That willingness to act before you feel ready is what creates opportunity. Too many people sit on the sidelines waiting to feel confident first, when in reality confidence is built through action, not before it.
And then there’s the truth that might hit you the hardest. You already know what you’re not doing. There is something in your life right now that you know would change everything if you leaned into it. The problem is not awareness. The problem is action. I break down why your life is a direct reflection of your standards, not your goals, and why doing one more is the habit that changes everything.
This episode is a wake up call. Not to inspire you for a moment, but to challenge you to raise the level you are operating at every single day. Because the difference between average and extraordinary is not talent. It is the willingness to do what others will not do consistently.
Key Takeaways:
Why your standards determine your life more than your goals
How keeping small promises to yourself builds real confidence
The hidden reason people avoid accountability and stay stuck
Why stepping into rooms unprepared is the fastest way to grow
Eric Thomas’ truth about raising your game or lowering your expectations
The power of doing “one more” and how it compounds over time
Why awareness without action is the trap keeping most people average
I want you to walk away from this episode with one question in your mind. Not what you want out of life, but what you are willing to do to earn it. Because once your standards change, everything else in your life will follow.

What if the biggest thing holding your business back… is something you’ve never even questioned?
In this conversation, I sit down with Jon McNeill, former President of Tesla and CEO of Lyft, and I’ve got to tell you… this one hit me differently. I’ve read thousands of books and interviewed some of the greatest minds in the world, but what Jon lays out here is a true operating system for winning in business and life. We’re not just talking theory. We’re talking about how Tesla went from 2 billion to 20 billion in revenue in just 30 months, and the exact framework they used to do it.
Jon breaks down what he calls “The Algorithm,” a five step framework that challenges everything you think you know about how businesses should operate. And I mean everything. From questioning every assumption you’ve ever accepted, to building systems that prioritize speed, efficiency, and real innovation, this is the kind of thinking that separates the elite from everyone else. What really hit me is this… most of us are not losing because we lack effort. We’re losing because we’re solving the wrong problems or following outdated rules.
We get into some unbelievable stories from inside Tesla that prove this works in the real world. One of them completely blew my mind. Faced with a challenge to cut production costs by 50 percent, Jon and his team didn’t tweak the system… they reinvented it. What started as a simple idea inspired by a toy car led to a manufacturing breakthrough that changed the entire auto industry. That’s what happens when you stop accepting “the way it’s always been done” and start thinking differently.
But this conversation goes deeper than business tactics. We talk about leadership, culture, and what it really takes to build something meaningful. Jon shares why the best leaders “eat their own dog food,” how to identify the one or two things that truly matter in your company, and why humility combined with confidence is the ultimate competitive advantage. He also opens up about the personal cost of operating at that level, and the importance of knowing when something is no longer aligned with who you are.
This episode is for anyone who wants to think bigger, move faster, and stop playing by rules that no longer apply. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re working hard but not breaking through, this is the reset you’ve been waiting for. Jon doesn’t just give you ideas… he gives you a blueprint.
Key Takeaways:
Why “question everything” is the first step to breakthrough innovation
The 5 step Algorithm that drives speed, efficiency, and massive growth
How Tesla cut production costs by rethinking the entire system
The danger of following legacy thinking in your business
Why great leaders focus on only one or two truly critical priorities
The balance of humility and confidence that defines elite performers
What the future of business and AI really looks like and why opportunity is still massive

Are You Actually Doing Enough… or Just Telling Yourself You Are?
In this mashup, I’m bringing you into one of the most honest conversations you’ll ever have with yourself. Because the truth is, most people say they want more out of life, but very few are willing to do what it actually takes to get there. I break down the real separator between those who win and those who stay stuck, and it comes down to a simple but powerful principle that has changed my entire life: one more.
You’re going to hear from Jay Shetty, Jim Kwik, and Ryan Hawk as we unpack what it really means to maximize your potential. Jay shares the importance of intention and alignment, and how your habits either move you closer to your purpose or quietly pull you away from it. Jim Kwik dives into the power of upgrading your mind and removing the limits you’ve accepted about your own capabilities. And Ryan Hawk brings the leadership perspective, showing you how discipline, consistency, and daily standards separate elite performers from everyone else.
I also get real with you about something most people avoid. Hard work is no longer the separator. Everybody works hard. The difference is who is willing to do a little extra when it’s inconvenient, when they’re tired, when nobody is watching. That extra rep, that extra call, that extra minute. That is where your identity starts to shift. That is where you begin to believe you deserve the life you say you want.
What I want you to feel after this episode is a level of accountability that excites you. Not guilt, not pressure, but clarity. Because when you understand that doing one more compounds over time, you realize you are much closer than you think. The gap between where you are and where you want to be might just be a few more reps, a few more intentional days, a few more moments where you choose growth over comfort.
Key Takeaways:
Why “one more” is the ultimate separator between average and elite performers
How small extra efforts compound into massive long term results
Jay Shetty’s insight on aligning your habits with your purpose
Jim Kwik’s strategies for breaking mental limits and upgrading your thinking
Ryan Hawk’s perspective on discipline, leadership, and daily standards
How doing more reps builds confidence, identity, and belief in yourself
Why working hard is no longer enough and what actually sets you apart
This episode is your wake up call and your roadmap. If you’ve been questioning whether you’re doing enough, I’m going to help you answer that honestly. And more importantly, I’m going to show you exactly how to close that gap and start living at your maxed out level.

What If the Biggest Myths About Money, Entrepreneurship, and the Future Are Completely Wrong?
In this conversation, I sat down with my friend Daymond John, and we went deep on the real truths about entrepreneurship, rejection, money, and where the world is heading next. Most people know Daymond from building FUBU and as a Shark on Shark Tank, but what you’re going to hear in this episode is the mindset that actually built his success. Not the highlight reel. The real lessons. The failures. The hard-earned wisdom that only comes after decades in the arena.
Daymond and I talked about something that might surprise a lot of people. Not everyone should be an entrepreneur. In fact, Daymond believes some of the most successful businesses are built when visionaries surround themselves with incredible operators. Every Batman needs a Robin. Every Captain Kirk needs a Spock. Entrepreneurship is not about doing everything yourself. It is about building the right team, embracing rejection, and continuing to move forward even when the world keeps telling you no.
We also got real about the myths surrounding money. Daymond shared how early in his career he believed you needed money to make money. Then later he discovered the opposite problem. When he finally had money, he thought throwing capital at problems would solve them. It did not. The truth is that money does not build businesses. People do. Work ethic does. And your reputation matters more than almost anything because it takes years to build and seconds to destroy.
One of the most fascinating parts of this conversation was where the world is going next. Daymond has been studying AI, biohacking, and live selling intensely over the last few years because he believes we are entering a period of massive disruption. Entire industries are going to change. Jobs will evolve. And the people who thrive will be the ones who adapt quickly, stay curious, and position themselves on the right side of innovation. This conversation is not just about business today. It is about preparing for the future that is coming faster than most people realize.
We also talked about something I believe every listener needs to hear. Your personal brand matters now more than ever. Whether you are a CEO, an entrepreneur, or just starting out in your career, people are forming opinions about you before they ever meet you. Your brand walks into the room before you do. The question is whether you are defining it or leaving it up to someone else.
This episode is one of the most honest entrepreneurial conversations I have had in a long time. If you care about building something meaningful, navigating rejection, and staying ahead of the massive changes coming in business and technology, you are going to love this one.
Key Takeaways
Why not everyone is built to be an entrepreneur and why that is okay
The myth that you need money to make money and the real drivers of success
How to develop the rejection muscle required to win in business
Why your reputation and personal brand are your most valuable assets
The massive impact AI and technological disruption will have on careers and industries
How entrepreneurs should prepare themselves for the next decade of change
Listen now and get ready to rethink what it really takes to win in business and life.

What do you do when life knocks you down so hard that everything feels broken? The truth is that some of the greatest comebacks in the world are built in those exact moments.
In this mashup episode, I bring together powerful conversations with people who have stared adversity straight in the face and found a way to rise again. If you’ve ever felt like life dealt you a hand that was impossible to play, this episode will remind you that your story is far from over. Sometimes the very thing that breaks you is the same thing that rebuilds you stronger than you’ve ever been before.
You’re going to hear from people who have lived through moments most of us can’t even imagine. Damar Hamlin opens up about surviving one of the most shocking moments in sports history and how gratitude and purpose helped redefine his life after nearly losing it. Rich Diviney shares the difference between skills and attributes, and why the traits that carry us through the darkest seasons are often the ones forged in hardship. Robert O’Neill talks about operating under unimaginable pressure and how discipline and clarity help you keep moving forward even when everything around you feels chaotic.
David Meltzer brings his powerful perspective on finding meaning in pain and how gratitude can shift the entire trajectory of your life. Sean Casey shares lessons from the world of professional baseball about failure, resilience, and why the setbacks you experience are often preparing you for your greatest breakthroughs. And Nick Santonastasso delivers one of the most inspiring reminders you will ever hear about refusing to let circumstances define what’s possible for your life.
As I prepared this episode, I kept coming back to a simple but profound truth. Your life is a miracle. Thousands of generations had to exist just to get to you, and that alone should remind you how precious your opportunity is to live fully and intentionally. When life feels heavy and the challenges feel overwhelming, perspective can change everything. You have the power to rebuild, to reset, and to become the one who changes the trajectory of your family’s future.
If you’re walking through a difficult season right now, this episode is for you. These conversations will remind you that broken moments are not the end of your story. They are often the beginning of your transformation.
Key Takeaways
Why the most difficult moments in life often become the foundation for your greatest growth
Damar Hamlin’s perspective on gratitude and purpose after surviving a life changing moment
Rich Diviney’s insight on the attributes that help people perform under extreme adversity
Robert O’Neill’s lessons on staying focused and composed in high pressure situations

Sean Casey’s reminder that failure is often the greatest teacher on the road to success

What If Everything You’ve Achieved Still Isn’t Enough to Make You Happy?
Today’s conversation with Mike Posner is one of the deepest and most powerful discussions I’ve ever had on this show. You probably know Mike from his massive hits like Cooler Than Me and I Took a Pill in Ibiza. But the man sitting across from me today isn’t just a Grammy nominated artist. He’s climbed Mount Everest, walked more than 2,900 miles across America, survived a rattlesnake bite, and gone through a profound spiritual and emotional transformation that completely changed his life.
Mike shared something that stopped me in my tracks early in this conversation. He said that despite all the success, the money, the recognition, and the adventure, his greatest achievement wasn’t any of those things. It was changing his emotional set point from depression and negativity to joy, faith, and love. That shift didn’t happen because of fame or accomplishments. It happened when he finally stopped lying to himself about the fears and stories that were running his life.
We talked about something so many people struggle with but rarely admit. The pursuit of recognition and significance. Mike was honest about how much of his early career was fueled by the desire to be liked and validated by others. And if we’re honest, most of us do the same thing in our own lives. What makes this conversation so powerful is how Mike explains the transformation from chasing significance to living a life of service, contribution, and authentic connection.
One of the most powerful moments came when Mike shared the four questions that helped him turn his life around. Questions that forced him to stop drifting and start living intentionally. Questions like “Do you actually want to live?” and “What do you truly want?” These questions sound simple, but they have the power to completely change the direction of your life if you answer them honestly.
What I love about Mike’s story is that he’s proof that external success does not guarantee internal peace. But he’s also proof that you can change your internal state, rewrite the story you’re telling yourself, and build a life that is rich both internally and externally. This conversation is about awakening. It’s about purpose. And it’s about learning how to live a life that truly feels worth living.
Key Takeaways
• Why changing your emotional set point may be the most important achievement of your life
• The dangerous trap of chasing recognition and significance instead of real love
• How the stories you tell yourself quietly shape your entire reality
• The four life changing questions that can help you rediscover purpose and direction
• Why success without inner fulfillment still leaves you feeling empty
• How shifting from seeking validation to serving others transforms your life

What if the biggest obstacle between you and your goals isn’t your talent, your resources, or your circumstances… but the identity you believe about yourself?
In this mashup episode, I bring together four incredible minds who understand what it really takes to achieve meaningful goals and create lasting success. You’re going to hear powerful insights from Mel Robbins, David Nurse, Constance Schwartz-Morini, and Amy Porterfield about the mindset shifts that separate people who dream from people who actually execute. This conversation is about one core truth: the results you get in your life will never consistently exceed the identity you believe you deserve.
Mel Robbins and I go deep into the power of intentional living and why the decisions we make daily shape the trajectory of our lives. We talk about how your story does not disqualify you from achieving something great. In fact, your life experiences and your humanity are often the very things that qualify you to make an impact. I share the deeply personal story of my father’s transformation and how the idea of “one more” attempt can change the entire course of a life.
You’re also going to hear David Nurse break down how small pivots in your mindset can unlock massive changes in your performance and results. We talk about practical strategies that help people shift from being stuck to taking decisive action. Amy Porterfield shares one of the biggest traps that keeps people from pursuing their dreams. Too many people wait until everything is perfect before they start. The truth is that clarity often comes from taking action, not from waiting for the perfect plan.
And finally, Constance Schwartz-Morini pulls back the curtain on what it takes to build world class businesses and brands behind the scenes. Her journey reminds us that massive success rarely starts with perfect certainty. It begins with belief, vision, and the willingness to take the first step before you have the entire path mapped out.
If there is one idea that runs through every conversation in this episode, it is this: your identity drives your effort, your effort drives your results, and your results reinforce the identity you believe about yourself. When you upgrade that identity and start writing a new story about who you are becoming, everything in your life can change.
This episode will challenge the way you think about your goals and help you realize something powerful. You are far closer to your next level than you think.
Key Takeaways
Why the identity you believe about yourself determines the results you create in life
The power of “one more” effort and how persistence compounds over time
Why waiting for perfect clarity often prevents people from ever starting
How small mindset pivots can unlock massive performance breakthroughs
The importance of intentional living and taking ownership of your story
Why taking action before you feel ready is often the key to achieving big goals
How upgrading your identity can transform your effort, confidence, and results

What If Losing Everything Is the Very Thing That Leads You to Your Real Life?
In this conversation with Sage Steele, I sit down with a woman who had her entire world flipped upside down in real time. Sixteen years at ESPN. A respected career. A single mom carrying the financial weight of her family. And then one moment on a podcast where she spoke her mind, and it all changed. What followed was suspension, public backlash, legal battles with The Walt Disney Company, and the kind of pressure most people only pray they never experience.
But this episode is not about politics. It is about courage. It is about what happens when you are forced to choose between comfort and conviction. Sage opens up about the fear of losing everything, the weight of being the breadwinner for her kids, and the internal battle of standing up for herself after years of staying quiet. She shares what it felt like to be publicly attacked, to receive threats, to question herself in the darkest moments, and then to make a decision that changed the trajectory of her life.
What moved me most was not just her resilience, but the legacy behind it. The story of her father, a West Point graduate who broke barriers and chose the “harder right” in the face of racism and rejection, will stay with you. That foundation shaped Sage more than she realized. And when she finally stood up for herself, her son looked at her and said, “Mom, it’s about time you stood up for yourself.” That moment alone is worth listening to this entire episode.
And here is the part I want you to hear if you are going through your own blow up right now. Sage lost her job. She walked away from the only career she had known for decades. She had no clear next step. But she surrendered control. She leaned into faith. She built her own platform. And in the middle of the uncertainty, she met the man who is now her husband in a moment that only God could orchestrate. The same pain that felt like devastation became the doorway to a new life.
If you are afraid to speak up, afraid to make the change, afraid to lose what feels secure, this conversation will challenge you. Sometimes the thing you are clinging to is the very thing holding you back from the life you were meant to live.
Key Takeaways:
Why standing on principle can cost you everything, and still be worth it
How to function and perform at a high level while your world feels like it is collapsing
The difference between controlling outcomes and surrendering them
How your children learn more from what you model than what you preach
Why the hardest seasons of your life often become the most defining
This one is about faith. It is about courage. It is about choosing the harder right. And it might just be the reminder you need that your setback is not the end of your story.

The Real Test of Your Character Is Not in Calm Moments, It Is in Conflict.
In this mashup episode, I bring together three of the most powerful voices on communication and human behavior I have ever had on the show: Jefferson Fisher, Chuck Wisner, and Charles Duhigg. What we unpack in this conversation can literally change your marriage, your leadership, your parenting, and your business. Because the truth is this: most people do not lose opportunities because they lack talent. They lose them because they lose control in crucial conversations.
Jefferson breaks down why trying to win an argument often means losing something far more valuable. He shares practical language you can use in heated moments to de-escalate tension and maintain your authority without overpowering someone else. Chuck goes deeper into the emotional layers of conflict and explains how most disagreements are not about the surface issue at all. They are about identity, safety, and being heard. When you understand that, you stop reacting and start leading.
Charles Duhigg takes us into the science of conversations. He explains how high conflict exchanges are often driven by unseen scripts running in the background of our minds. When you learn to identify those patterns, you gain leverage. You stop being hijacked by emotion and start asking better questions. And when you ask better questions, you get better outcomes.
What I love about this mashup is that it is not theory. It is tactical. You are going to hear exact phrases, exact strategies, and exact mindset shifts that allow you to stay calm when someone else is not. If you want to become more influential, more respected, and more effective in every area of your life, you must master the ability to handle high conflict conversations without losing yourself in the process.
This is about control. Not controlling other people. Controlling you.
Key Takeaways:
Why trying to win an argument usually costs you influence
The power of saying less and listening more in heated moments
How to respond without escalating tension
The hidden emotional drivers underneath most conflicts
Practical phrases that instantly lower defensiveness
How to maintain authority without overpowering someone
Why calm energy is the ultimate competitive advantage in communication
If you can stay composed when others lose control, you separate yourself instantly. The world is full of loud voices. The leaders are the ones who remain steady.

What does real leadership look like when the building is on fire…literally?
In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend and guest host Michael Savage and a man whose life defines servant leadership at the highest level, Vice Admiral James W. Crawford III. Jim was inside the Pentagon on 9/11 when it was struck. He later helped advise on some of the most consequential military decisions of our generation. And today, he serves as President of Texas Southern University, shaping the next generation of leaders.
This conversation is not about flashy leadership. It’s not about titles, money, or Instagram fame. It’s about character. It’s about humility. It’s about what you draw on when all eyes turn to you and the pressure is on. Jim said something that stopped me in my tracks. In times of stress, you either become who you are or you revert to your training. That day in the Pentagon changed the trajectory of his life. And yet, when he talks about it, you hear gratitude, not ego. Service, not self.
We went deep into what leadership really demands. Humility as a shield against ego. Authenticity in unguarded moments. Mission first. People always. Jim opened up about imposter syndrome, about looking in the mirror at three stars on his uniform and still being astounded it was him. He shared how working on his grandfather’s tobacco farm shaped his values, and why he chose education over seven figure corporate roles after retiring from the Navy. His answer was simple and powerful. Service does not end when the uniform comes off.
If you are an entrepreneur, a founder, a CEO, a parent, or someone who simply wants to lead your life better, this is a masterclass. We talked about raising agile thinkers in an AI driven world. About how fear can freeze you if you let it. About why the best leaders are not the smartest person in the room, but the one who knows where their reservoir of strength comes from when the storm hits.
Jim’s reservoir is his faith. Yours might be something else. But you better know what it is.
This episode reminded me why I started this show in the first place. Real leadership is about people and for people. And when you get that right, everything changes.
Key Takeaways:
Why humility is the leader’s greatest shield against ego and arrogance
What it means to be authentic in unguarded moments
Mission first. People always. How to integrate both without burning out
How to lead through crisis by reverting to your training and values
Why constant learning and agility are essential in an AI driven world
The importance of identifying your personal reservoir of strength before the storm comes
How service can and should continue long after titles and uniforms are gone
Share this with someone who wants to lead better, serve deeper, and live with greater purpose.

What if the most dangerous thing in your life isn’t failure… but the fact that you’re not the one driving?
In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together two men who know what it feels like to lose control of their lives and then fight their way back into the driver’s seat. Darren Waller and Rod Carew open up about addiction, pressure, identity, faith, and the discipline it takes to reclaim your life when it starts spiraling.
I share a story in this episode about a terrifying cab ride I took with my daughter. For 25 minutes, we were completely out of control. Someone else was driving recklessly, and we were just passengers in the back seat. That experience became a metaphor for something I see all the time. So many people are not actually driving their own lives. Their fears are driving. Their past is driving. Their addiction to approval is driving. Their anger, insecurity, comparison, or trauma is driving. And they are just along for the ride, hoping it does not end in a crash.
Darren Waller talks about what it was like when addiction was behind the wheel of his life. From the outside, he was living the dream. Inside, he was losing control. He shares how recovery forced him to confront what was really driving him and how taking radical ownership changed everything. Rod Carew shares his journey from humble beginnings to Hall of Fame greatness, and how discipline, faith, and personal responsibility kept him focused when the spotlight and expectations could have easily taken over.
This episode is about awareness. You cannot fix what you are unwilling to face. If you are reacting instead of choosing, if your emotions are dictating your behavior, if you keep repeating the same patterns and calling it bad luck, there is a good chance you are not in control. And the truth is, until you decide to take the wheel back, your life will keep zigging and zagging in ways you do not want.
I want you walking away from this conversation asking yourself one powerful question: Who is driving my life right now? Because once you are honest about that, you can change it. You can grab the wheel. You can slow things down. You can choose a different direction. But you cannot do that if you stay in the back seat.
Key Takeaways
The 7 signs you may not be in control of your own life
How fear silently dictates your decisions and limits your future
Darren Waller’s journey from addiction to elite performance
Rod Carew’s discipline blueprint for staying grounded in success
Why radical ownership is the first step to real freedom
How to move from being reactive to being intentional
The one question that can instantly shift your trajectory
This is your wake up call. You were not born to sit in the back seat of your own life. It is time to take control.

What If Your Next Shot… Your Next Sale… Your Next Decision… Is the One That Changes Everything?
Today I’ve got one of your all-time favorite guests back on the show, and there’s a reason the downloads go through the roof every time he’s here. When I sit down with Alan Stein Jr, you get value in every single minute. We’re talking about mindset, emotional control, confidence, intensity, and what it really takes to separate yourself from the pack. Alan’s new book, Next Play, isn’t just about sports. It’s about life. It’s about what you do after you miss the shot, lose the sale, get knocked down, or make a mistake you wish you could take back.
We unpack what Alan calls having a “whiteboard memory.” The great ones erase the miss and step into the next moment like it never happened. Think about that. How many of us drag the last mistake into the next opportunity? How many people let one bad quarter, one breakup, one failure define their identity? Alan and I talk about why attaching your self-worth to outcomes is a trap. Confidence is not built on results. It’s built on process, preparation, keeping the promises you make to yourself, and mastering the fundamentals. That’s where real separation happens.
We also dive into one of the most powerful lessons I’ve ever heard about excellence. Alan shares the story of working with Kobe Bryant at 3:30 in the morning. Not flashy drills. Not tricks. Just relentless attention to the basics. Kobe told him, “I never get bored with the basics.” That line alone could change your life. The great ones do not skip steps. They do not get distracted by hype. They obsess over mastery. And they stack that obsession for years. That is how you create separation no one can catch.
But this episode is not just about performance. It’s about fulfillment. Alan challenges the idea that we should chase happiness. Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is built. It’s built through resilience, emotional regulation, accountability, and learning how to move to the next play without becoming a victim of the last one. We talk about parenting, leadership, business, relationships, and what to do when you’re flat on the canvas and need a way forward. If you’re in a season where you need a reset, this conversation is your blueprint.
I’ll tell you this. The most powerful thing Alan said today is that your next play can be your best play. Not because the last one was perfect, but because you learned from it. Your mistakes are not your identity. They are part of your collage. And if you’re willing to forgive yourself, adjust, and step forward with intention, your next 50 years can be your best 50 years.
This one will hit you right between the eyes in the best way possible.
Key Takeaways:
Why you must separate your emotions from your performance
How to build confidence through process instead of outcomes
The power of mastering the basics and stacking consistency over time
What to do when you’ve failed and need to create your next play
Why fulfillment beats chasing happiness every time
How accountability and emotional regulation shape leaders and families
If you’re ready to stop replaying the last mistake and start attacking the next opportunity, this episode is for you.
Let’s go make your next play your best one.

What if the only thing standing between you and your next level is the story you keep telling yourself about not being good enough?
In this mashup, I bring together some of the toughest, most battle tested men and women I know to talk about something almost nobody wants to admit. That quiet voice that says you do not belong here. That you are not ready. That you are going to get exposed. You are going to hear from Michael Chandler, Damar Hamlin, Fallon Taylor, Andre Ward, Michael Chandler, Jason Wilson, and Dean Graziosi as they open up about imposter syndrome, doubt, setbacks, and the defining decision to rise anyway.
Michael Chandler talks about the thermometer in your life and how many of us unconsciously cool ourselves down when success starts heating up. He shares how a little bit of imposter syndrome can keep you humble and hungry, but how letting it dominate your thinking will sabotage everything. Andre Ward breaks down what it really means to absorb a punch and still throw one back. Not just in the ring, but in life. Fallon Taylor and Damar Hamlin remind us that sometimes you do not find your strength until you are forced to confront your fragility. Jason Wilson speaks powerfully about identity and manhood, and what it takes to believe you are worthy of the stage you are standing on. Dean Graziosi brings it home with the truth that you cannot give away what you have not built within yourself first.
One of the biggest themes in this episode is preparation. Confidence is not something you wish for. It is something you earn. When you prepare at a level that most people are unwilling to, you begin to silence that voice that says you do not belong. The separator in life is not talent. It is the ability to take a hit, keep your composure, and keep moving forward without obsessing over what everyone else thinks.
You are going to hear story after story of people who did not feel ready, did not feel qualified, did not feel worthy, but chose to act anyway. They did not wait for the doubt to disappear. They built a new self concept through action, discipline, faith, and relentless preparation. That is how you close the gap between who you are today and who you are capable of becoming.
If you have ever questioned whether you belong in the room, whether you are capable of the dream in your heart, this episode is for you. You were not born average. You were not born to sit on the sidelines of your own life. You were born to max it out. And the moment you decide you are worthy of the stage is the moment everything begins to change.
Key Takeaways
Why a small amount of imposter syndrome can fuel growth, but letting it dominate will cap your potential
How preparation builds real confidence that no critic can take away
The true separator in life is the ability to absorb a punch and keep throwing
Why your self concept determines the temperature of your success
How to stop worrying about public perception and start running your own race
The power of earning your belief in yourself through discipline and action
Why you have a duty to maximize your gifts so you can serve others at a higher level

What If Self-Confidence Isn’t the Answer and Self-Trust Is What You’ve Been Missing?
Most people think the opposite of self-doubt is confidence. In this conversation, Dr. Shadé Zahrai completely flips that belief on its head. She is a behavioral researcher, bestselling author of Big Trust, and one of the most insightful minds I’ve ever sat down with when it comes to understanding why high performers still struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and that constant feeling of not being enough. I’ll be honest, her work challenged some of the things I’ve taught for years, and that’s exactly why this episode matters.
We dive deep into why waiting to feel confident is keeping so many people stuck and why self-trust always has to come first. Dr. Zahrai breaks down the four core attributes that shape how we experience doubt, including acceptance, agency, autonomy, and emotional adaptability. She explains why doubt isn’t something to eliminate, but something to rise above by strengthening who you are underneath it. If you’ve ever felt like an anxious overachiever who keeps pushing but never quite feels settled, you’re going to feel seen in this conversation.
One of the most powerful parts of this episode is how expectation bias quietly shapes your reality. Dr. Zahrai shares fascinating research that shows how the scars you believe you’re carrying can completely change how you experience conversations, relationships, and opportunities, even when those scars are not real. We also talk about why validation from achievement, praise, or external approval is one of the most dangerous traps high performers fall into and why it leaves so many successful people feeling empty.
We also get extremely practical. Dr. Zahrai walks through tools that actually work, including how to stop obsessing over outcomes, how to quiet the inner critical voices that sabotage momentum, and why self-forgetting through service is one of the fastest ways to restore confidence. I also share a technique from her book that has already changed how I deal with worry, and if you’re someone who struggles with anxiety or rumination, this alone is worth listening to the episode.
This conversation is not surface-level motivation. It’s real inner work. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you know you’re capable of becoming, this episode will give you a framework to rebuild trust in yourself and move forward with clarity and peace.
Key Takeaways
Why self-trust always comes before confidence and action
The four core attributes that protect you from self-doubt
How expectation bias shapes your relationships and results
Why obsession with outcomes erodes self-belief
A simple daily practice to reduce worry and overthinking
How to quiet your inner critic without forcing fake positivity
Listen now, and start building the kind of trust in yourself that no setback can take away.

What happens when winning stops feeling like enough and achievement quietly turns into a trap?
In this mashup episode, I want to talk about something I see all the time with high performers. People who are doing well on the outside but feel empty, restless, or disconnected on the inside. This conversation is about escaping the achievement trap and redefining success in a way that actually brings peace, fulfillment, and joy.
I sit down with LeAnn Rimes to unpack what it looks like to grow up chasing validation and applause, only to realize later that external success cannot heal internal wounds. LeAnn opens up about the emotional cost of performing for approval, the courage it takes to slow down, and how self awareness and self compassion became the real breakthroughs in her life. Her honesty is powerful and it speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt pressure to keep proving themselves.
I also bring in Rob Dyrdek, who shares how redefining his definition of winning changed everything. Rob talks about shifting from grinding nonstop to building a life by design, where happiness, relationships, and impact matter just as much as productivity. This is a masterclass in intentional living and understanding that fulfillment is not found in the next milestone, but in alignment with who you really are.
Throughout this mashup, I break down the mindset shifts that help you move from chasing achievements to creating meaning. We talk about why so many driven people feel unfulfilled, how comparison fuels the trap, and what it actually takes to feel proud of your life, not just your resume. If you have ever thought, I should feel happier than this by now, this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways:
Why constant achievement can quietly disconnect you from fulfillment
How external validation creates pressure instead of peace
The mindset shift from proving yourself to accepting yourself
How to redefine success in a way that supports happiness and relationships
Why slowing down can actually accelerate clarity and purpose
This is about learning to win without losing yourself. It is about success that feels good to live with, not just impressive to look at. My hope is that this episode gives you permission to redefine the game and start playing it in a way that truly serves you.

What if the pain you’re fighting isn’t coming from your body at all, but from patterns wired deep inside your brain?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down once again with one of the most impactful thinkers I know, Dr. Daniel Amen, to unpack a truth that changed how I see stress, pain, trauma, and healing. This is his fourth time on the show, and there’s a reason you keep asking for him. Dr. Amen has helped millions of people understand their brains better, including me, and his newest work hit me harder than any book he’s written before.
We go deep into the idea that pain is not just a signal from your body, but a story your brain is telling. Whether it shows up as back pain, anxiety, depression, or chronic stress, the root often lives in specific brain circuits that get hijacked by trauma, unresolved emotion, inflammation, and unhealthy habits. I open up about my own childhood, the stress patterns I still carry, and how those experiences changed my brain in ways I never fully understood until now.
Dr. Amen breaks down the pain HQ loop and explains how emotional pain, physical pain, and even moral or spiritual pain can trap you in cycles of suffering that feel impossible to escape. We talk about adverse childhood experiences, why unresolved rage often turns into chronic pain, and how habits like poor sleep, diet, and suppressed emotions quietly flip genetic switches that impact not just you, but future generations.
But this conversation is not just about understanding the problem. It is about getting out. We walk through the healing loop and the exact tools that calm the brain, raise heart rate variability, and restore control over your nervous system. From diaphragmatic breathing and progressive relaxation to journaling, EMDR, hyperbaric oxygen, and nutritional support, this episode is packed with practical ways to take your power back.
If you have ever felt stuck in your body, your mind, or your emotions, this episode will change how you see yourself. The real question Dr. Amen leaves us with is simple and life-altering: Is what you’re doing right now good for your brain or bad for it? Answer that honestly, and everything starts to shift.
Key Takeaways:
Why pain is often created and amplified by brain circuits, not just physical injury
How childhood trauma and stress hijack the brain’s pain and suffering pathways
What the pain HQ loop is and how it keeps people stuck in chronic stress and pain
Simple daily practices that calm your nervous system and improve brain health
Why your habits today affect your children and grandchildren more than you think
This is one of those episodes you’ll want to listen to more than once and share with someone who’s been carrying pain they cannot explain. Get ready to see healing in a completely new way.
