THE ED MYLETT SHOW

What if your life had an expiration date printed on it—and you just couldn't see it? This episode is a wake-up call. Not about chasing more, but about making what we already have count. I introduce a concept that's reshaping how I live: Quality Time Remaining. It's not about how long we live—it's about how we spend the precious moments we have left. I've been on this group text with some close friends—successful, driven guys—and we've started sending each other snapshots of real-life moments that matter. The ones that count. And I realized, I haven't sent one yet. That hit me. We grind so hard for the future that we forget to live today. The trouble is, we think we have time. We plan, we postpone, we sacrifice the now for the someday—and sometimes, that someday never comes. I've had health scares, lost people I love, and seen too many “somedays” stolen by surprise. That's why this message matters. It's not about slowing down—it's about becoming intentional with the time that really counts. You'll hear me share stories—some personal, some painful, all real. This isn't a theory or a mindset hack. It's a shift in perspective that could literally change how you live. If you're waiting for the right time to make memories, it's already here. Start your shorter list. Not your bucket list—the little moments that matter now. Whether it's a walk, a conversation, a game with your kid… they're priceless. The takeaway is simple: your life isn't just measured in years. It's measured in memories. The people around you deserve more than just your time—they deserve the best of you, fully present. So do you. And if you're the kind of person who's been grinding, achieving, and waiting for later… it's time to wake up. Later might not come. The milk of your life tastes better now than it ever will. Savor it. Key Takeaways: How to reframe your life around Quality Time Remaining Why being busy can rob you of what truly matters The difference between intentional living and life drifting How to start your own “shorter list” of moments that matter Why presence, not productivity, is what creates lasting memories You have more time today than you might tomorrow—spend it like it matters. Because it does.  

Is Your Team Truly Committed—Or Just Chasing Goals? What separates teams that succeed from those that just survive? It's not talent. It's not resources. It's commitment. This week, I sit down with my great friend Jon Gordon, and we got real about what it takes to build a team that doesn't just perform, but thrives under pressure. Jon's new book, The Seven Commitments of a Great Team, is more than theory—it's the roadmap every leader, entrepreneur, and family builder needs. We talked about why goals aren't enough. Everybody's got goals. But not everybody is committed. Jon broke it down beautifully—commitment is about action. It's about the daily disciplines that align with your vision. Want to make a million dollars this year? That won't happen without commitments to how you show up, how you serve, and how you lead your team. “Commitment is going to cost you something,” Jon said. “You have to ask yourself—what are you willing to give, and what are you willing to give up?” One of the biggest takeaways? The power of connection and love on a team. That might sound soft, but it's not. Love is what makes great teams fight for each other. It's what transforms a locker room, a boardroom, or a household. “You'll never have commitment without connection,” Jon said—and he's right. If your team's not committed to each other, they won't be committed to the mission. And when adversity hits, that's when the cracks show. We also touched on something every leader needs to hear: emotional fatigue. Carrying the weight of your business, your team, your family—it gets heavy. If you lose your why, you lose your fire. “The crime isn't that the passion ran out—it's that you stayed around after it did,” Jon shared. That line stopped me in my tracks. Leaders, you've got to reignite your mission or risk slowly fading out. Key Takeaways: The difference between having goals and living with commitment Why devotion—not discipline—creates lasting change How prayer and purposeful rituals can unlock creative breakthroughs The role of connection and love in high-performance teams How to lead through adversity without losing your energy or edge This one hit home for me on a personal level, and I know it will for you too. Go grab The Seven Commitments of a Great Team. It's a game-changer. MAX OUT.  

What are you holding on to that just doesn't fit anymore? In this episode, I take you inside a real moment from my life—a full-on spring cleaning of my closet that turned into something way bigger. As I started tossing out old clothes, I realized I've been hanging on to things that no longer serve me—beliefs, habits, even dreams that don't fit who I am today. This episode isn't just about getting rid of stuff; it's about clearing space in your life so you can breathe, grow, and step into your next season with clarity and intention. We're talking about more than just clothes. I challenge you to look at your relationships, your routines, even your regrets. Some of these things have just been “in your closet” so long, you forgot to ask if they still fit. Maybe they did once, maybe they helped you survive or succeed—but they're not meant to come with you now. And on the flip side, there might be something beautiful you've forgotten that still fits just right. You just couldn't see it through the clutter. This is your invitation to get ruthless, get honest, and start fresh. I'll walk you through how to audit your life—what to keep, what to toss, and what might just need a little tailoring. I even share a personal revelation I had about something I've carried for decades—“hurry”—and why I've finally decided to let it go. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just disconnected, this might be the message you've been waiting for. Your next level is waiting—it just needs room. Key Takeaways: How to identify what in your life no longer fits—relationships, beliefs, habits, even goals Why holding on to old emotions and regrets robs you of your peace A simple framework: Keep, toss, or tailor—what belongs in your next season? The surprising power of physical decluttering to reveal internal clutter Ed's personal realization about letting go of “hurry” to embrace peace and presence You deserve a life where everything in your closet fits, flatters, or feels like you. If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive. Period. End of story. God bless you. Max out.  

What if living to 180 isn't about Hacks, but about Healing? In this conversation, I sit down with my friend Dave Asprey, the godfather of biohacking, to uncover what might be the most important conversation we've ever had on this show. And I don't say that lightly. You know Dave for pushing the envelope on longevity, nutrition, and performance—but what we got into here, this is the stuff that actually sets you free. We talk about how every single one of us is born with the capacity for intuition—a gut knowing that transcends logic—and how most of us have let our ego, emotional baggage, and mental chatter completely drown it out. Dave breaks down the five F's that drive human behavior: Fear, Food, Fertility, Friendship, and Forgiveness—and how forgiveness, more than anything else, gives you energy, peace, and power. “Forgiveness is simply becoming non-reactive to something that was still causing you pain,” Dave says. That line hit me hard. We also dig into the practical side—because if there's no strategy, I'm not interested. Dave shares how to train your intuition like a muscle, what happens to your body when you forgive, and why practices like meditation, breathwork, and even brief, intentional exposure to pain (what he calls BICEP) can radically change how you show up in your life. This isn't woo-woo stuff—it's actionable and measurable, and he's got the brainwave data to back it up. Dave's new book, Heavily Meditated, might be his most important one yet. Not because it's flashy, but because it gives you the tools to clear the blocks—emotional, mental, even generational—that are stealing your energy and keeping you from your purpose. If you're biohacking your body but ignoring your spirit, you're leaving the most important gains on the table. Key Takeaways: Why forgiveness isn't a feeling—it's a performance enhancer How to recognize and build your intuitive muscle The biology behind “female intuition” (you'll want to hear this) How meditation actually rewires your nervous system Why exposing yourself to pain builds motivation and emotional resilience What to do when your heart rate variability just won't budge A surprising connection between altered states and intimacy Let me tell you something: it's not just about living longer—it's about living better. With more joy, more clarity, and more freedom. That's what we're after. Max out.

What if the worst thing ever said to you wasn't just a memory—but a scar that shaped who you are? In this episode, I'm opening up about a tough truth that most of us are either living with—or have dished out ourselves: anger and emotional volatility. Whether you're on the receiving end of it or you're the one dishing it out, today's message is a wake-up call. I'm not just sharing concepts—I'm pulling straight from my own story, from childhood scars to leadership missteps, and how I finally learned that the strongest people don't intimidate—they protect. You deserve relationships, workplaces, and a life where you feel safe to be your full self. We're not tiptoeing around the issue. We're calling it out. If someone in your life makes you feel small, anxious, or afraid to speak freely—you've got to draw the line. Because you're not just allowing it…you're teaching them it's okay. And that's not love. That's not leadership. That's not life. I'm also giving you the tools—real, practical habits—that have helped me move from a reactive man to a regulated one. And if you're the one struggling with anger, here's your moment. I'm not judging you—I've been you. I know what it means to erupt, to regret, to hurt the people you love most. But you can flip the switch. You can become the kind of person your family, your team, and your future self can count on. No more band-aids over bullet wounds. It's time to make real change. Key Takeaways: How to recognize emotional abuse disguised as “passion” or “leadership” The difference between a strong man and a scared one hiding behind anger Why the contrast of “high highs” in toxic relationships can deceive you Concrete steps to regulate anger before it destroys your identity and others How your emotional patterns directly impact your kids and future generations The one trait every safe, authentic, high-performing relationship has You were born to do something great. And that starts with living a life where you're safe to be you. It's not just about love—it's about respect, belief, and emotional safety. Let's stop normalizing anger, and start creating environments that heal. Max out.

What if anxiety isn't just a condition—what if it's your culture? This week, I sit down with Dr. Martha Beck, and we get real about something that most of us don't even realize we're living with every day: anxiety. Not just the clinical kind—but the kind that's been baked into our lives from childhood, from trauma, from a society that rewards burnout and worships productivity. I brought Martha on because I've been doing this work on myself. I've been noticing how I've lived in a near-constant state of stress, and the truth is, a lot of you are probably wired the same way. Martha breaks down how anxiety forms, how it's normalized in our environment, and why it thrives in our left brain—the part obsessed with control and fear. She explains how we mistake anxiety for productivity, and how our bodies carry the toll of it for decades. But here's what blew me away: she shows us how the antidote isn't force, but curiosity. That if you can activate that right side of the brain, the part that tracks instead of panics, the part that seeks instead of flees, you can start living from peace—and still be successful. We walked through her Perfect Day visualization technique, talked about accessing creativity through calm, and why kindness—especially toward yourself—is the true starting line for transformation. Not the kind of kindness that coddles you, but the kind that treats your anxious self like a scared horse: steady, soothing, safe. And you'll hear what happened when I applied these tools myself. I've been sharper, more productive, and less exhausted. That's real. This episode isn't just theory—it's a playbook. I want you to be able to say, “I am meant to live in peace.” And believe it. Because it's not either peace or productivity—you can have both. You were never meant to grind your way to worth. You were built for joy, creativity, and ease. Let's start giving ourselves permission to return to that. Key Takeaways: How anxiety becomes “normal” through trauma and culture The difference between fear and anxiety—and why it matters Why choosing peace doesn't mean sacrificing success Tools like the “Perfect Day” and “Sanity Quilt” to reconnect with purpose The role of curiosity in calming anxiety and boosting creativity How to talk to yourself like a frightened horse—and why it works This one's going to stick with you. Share it with someone who needs peace today. Max out.  

In this episode, I'm calling you out and lifting you up. We're tackling one of the biggest challenges that silently destroys relationships, careers, and your own peace of mind—emotional immaturity. I'm sharing real talk about how anger, resentment, and emotional triggers keep you locked in a race to the bottom—and why true strength is found in staying composed, kind, and centered no matter what chaos comes your way. You'll hear the hard truths I've had to learn myself, including why it's not just about the other person's behavior but about how you choose to respond. I'll walk you through how to recognize when you're being pulled into someone else's emotional home of fear, anger, or anxiety—and how to stay firmly planted in your own home of peace, joy, and faith. We get into why true emotional maturity isn't about winning arguments or proving your point—it's about refusing to let anyone else control your emotions. And I'll give you the questions you need to ask yourself to check if your reactions are pulling you closer to your highest self—or dragging you further away. Don't spend another second living in somebody else's emotional chaos. Your minutes are precious. Your peace is non-negotiable. Key Takeaways: Why racing to the bottom in anger or frustration only makes you the loser How to stay emotionally mature when others around you lose control The truth about emotional homes—and why you have to guard yours fiercely How to confront toxic patterns with calm strength instead of retaliation Questions to evaluate whether your reactions bring you closer to your goals and your faith You are not here to live in chaos. You are here to live in peace, in power, and in purpose. Don't race to the bottom with people who are hurting—race to the top and stay there. Share this with someone you know who needs it, and remember: the most intelligent version of you is calm, composed, and in complete control. God bless you. Max out.

What If You Built a Business That Could Outlive You? I sit down today with Dave Whorton, and let me tell you—this conversation is one of the most important ones you'll hear if you're serious about building something meaningful. We're living in a time where entrepreneurship looks more like a sprint to an exit than a commitment to lasting impact. Dave's new book, Another Way: Building Companies That Last and Last and Last, challenges that broken model and reminds us: success isn't just about cashing out—it's about building something worth keeping. We break down what it really takes to create an "evergreen" company—one that's not built to flip, but built to matter. Dave shares the 7 P's that every sustainable business needs: Purpose, Perseverance, People First, Profits, Privately Held, Pace Growth, and Pragmatic Innovation. He hits home the idea that growth doesn't mean chaos—done right, it compounds over time and actually gets easier, more joyful, and more impactful. You're not racing to the exit—you're building a legacy. One of the biggest mind shifts we talk about: you don't have to sell your business for it to be valuable. You don't need $100M in funding to be "legit." Some of the strongest companies—Amazon, Microsoft, Apple—started with almost no venture capital compared to today's standards. Real strength comes from a strong foundation, scrappy innovation, and a relentless commitment to people and purpose over hype. I walk away from this conversation fired up because this is real entrepreneurship. It's the quiet work of building families, communities, and lives that stand the test of time. It's not just about business. It's about living a life you're proud of—and leaving something behind that's bigger than you. Key Takeaways: Why building for the long term beats building for a quick exit every time. The 7 P's every lasting company needs—and how to use them. How purpose-driven leadership creates stronger, happier teams. Why debt and excessive venture capital can destroy your company's soul. The hidden financial power of compounding growth over decades. How to attract and retain talent without giving up your equity. You don't have to follow the crowd. You can build something timeless. Max out.  

Is Virtual Communication Costing You Influence? Let's be honest—no one ever taught us how to communicate in a virtual world. We all just sort of fell into Zoom calls, emails, DMs, and voice notes, hoping for the best. But in this episode, I finally sit down with someone who gets it—Andrew Brodsky. He's not only a Harvard-trained expert from the University of Texas, but he's also the first person who's broken down how to actually win in virtual communication. And trust me, after this conversation, you're going to look at how you communicate online totally differently. We talk about the unspoken messages behind your emails, the body language you think you're sending on Zoom, and how charisma—real, compelling presence—can still be felt even when you're not in the same room. Andrew lays out a game-changing framework called PING (Perspective-taking, Initiative, Nonverbal, Goals) that helps you understand not just how to communicate better—but why the method matters just as much as the message. This one hit me personally. I've made my career speaking, influencing, and connecting—but I'll be the first to admit, I've been terrible at texting and emailing. I've lost influence in moments simply because I chose the wrong channel or misunderstood the tone. And I bet you've done the same. That's why this episode is so critical. You're going to walk away with a whole new toolkit for handling everything from business conversations to personal relationships—all through the lens of better, more thoughtful communication. So whether you lead a team, pitch clients, or just want stronger relationships—what you learn here can immediately shift how people perceive you and how effective you are. And if you're wondering what's next with AI, or how to manage Zoom fatigue, we unpack all of it. Bottom line: if you want to succeed in this virtual world, you need to be more intentional about how you're showing up—digitally. Key Takeaways: Why email often comes across colder than intended—and what to do instead How to build charisma and trust in virtual meetings When to use voice notes, video, or text—and why each choice matters The 4-part PING framework to level up your online communication Strategies to reduce Zoom fatigue and make meetings more productive Why over-crafting your messages might actually hurt your credibility How to ask others about their communication preferences to build stronger connections Go grab Andrew's book PING: The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication—because this conversation was just the start. Let's all level up and max out how we communicate in today's world. Thank you to our Sponsor: AG1: DrinkAG1.com/EDMYLETT

Are You Joyful… or Just Functioning? Most people don't realize it—but there's a silent struggle happening behind the smiles and the schedules. Today, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a Columbia-trained psychiatrist and author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy. We tackle something that I think is affecting more people than anyone talks about… high functioning depression. It's not in the "DSM"—but it's very real. And if you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” but still feel empty inside, you need to hear this. We talked about a condition called anhedonia—this sneaky, silent twin of depression that robs you of joy without making you collapse. It's the part of depression that doesn't get seen or treated because you're still performing, still producing, still achieving. Dr. Judith broke down how traumas, even the little ones, can rewire the way we experience joy. And more importantly, she gave a way out. You don't have to crash to get help. You don't have to be broken to deserve healing. This episode isn't just about naming the problem. It's about owning your emotional truth, slowing down, and reclaiming the simple human experiences that actually fill you. Whether you're a high achiever constantly “doing” or someone who feels like joy is always out of reach, this one's for you. Judith's “5 V's” framework gives you real tools you can use every day—like planning your joy, validating your feelings, and choosing presence over performance. And let me tell you what stood out most. Joy is contagious! It spreads. To your kids, your spouse, your team. The more we access joy, the more we model it for those around us. This conversation hit home for me—and I think it will for you too. Key Takeaways: Why anhedonia is the overlooked symptom stealing your joy. The difference between happiness (an idea) and joy (an experience). The “5 V's” system to help reclaim joy: Validation, Venting, Values, Vitals, Vision. How trauma—big or small—can lead to high functioning depression. Tools to help yourself or someone you love who's silently struggling. The impact of hormonal changes on mental health, especially for women. A method to ground yourself daily and reduce anxiety: the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. Let's not wait for the crash to start healing. You deserve joy. You just forgot how to feel it. Max out.

What if you started living like life was rigged in your favor? That's the question I want you to wrestle with today. Because the lens you look through is shaping everything — your decisions, your joy, your results. In this Solo episode, I'm walking you through the truth that most people miss: Your life isn't defined by what happens to you — it's defined by how you see it. Your filter, your expectations, and your energy are creating your reality, whether you know it or not. We talk a lot about faith, hustle, and discipline — but today, I want you to start scanning your life for favor, not fear. I share the four life lenses that are quietly running your perspective — from living through history and memory to seeing life through dreams and imagination. I've lived on both sides of this. I've filtered for pain, for setbacks, for loneliness. But when I changed the lens — when I started walking through life expecting good things to happen — things began to shift. You'll hear me share some of the most personal insights I've ever dropped on this show, from how confidence bends reality, to the way your energy becomes a magnet for the people and opportunities in your life. This isn't just about mindset. It's about becoming the person who runs toward pressure, who trains like an underdog, and lives with the heart of a champion. You've already come farther than you give yourself credit for. Now it's time to move like someone who's meant to win. And here's the truth — you don't need to fit in. You're not one of the crowd. You were made to be different. You were born to stand out. So stop waiting to be seen. See yourself. Don't underestimate your own power another day. This episode is a reminder of who you really are and what you're really capable of. Key Takeaways: Your expectations shape your reality more than your circumstances. There are four lenses that shape how you experience life — most of us operate unconsciously. Confidence can actually bend reality — but so can self-doubt. Energy is magnetic — you draw in what you put out. The life you want begins when you stop underestimating yourself and start believing that great things are meant for you. Focus equals expansion: what you're looking for is what you'll find. Train like an underdog, but think like you're world class. You don't need to be understood — you need to be relentless about your purpose. Max out your lens. Max out your life.  

Are You Climbing the Right Mountain? What if the life you're chasing isn't the life you actually want? In this conversation, I sat down with Sahil Bloom—someone who's not only full of wisdom well beyond his years but has the guts to question everything we've been told about success. You'll hear how Sahil traded the “dream” job, the big checks, and the societal applause for a life that actually meant something to him. He's not just talking theory—he lived this. And together, we unpack what it means to redefine wealth in a way that includes all the parts of your life that truly matter. This episode is packed with real talk about time, health, relationships, mental clarity, and yes—money. Sahil breaks down his Five Types of Wealth and gets brutally honest about why chasing only one can cost you everything else. I loved what he said: “Sometimes the things you pray for become the things you complain about, if you're not paying attention.” That hit me hard—and I know it will hit you too. We also talk about how to actually make changes in your life. Not the fluffy stuff. Real, actionable tools—like how to schedule energy-giving activities, reframe your relationship with money, and audit your time to reflect your true values. We get into how to stay consistent with new habits, even when life is chaotic, using Sahil's ABC system that anyone can implement today. Look, this is one of those conversations that might just shift the direction of your life. Don't listen passively. Evaluate where you are. Take the action. Because if you're climbing the wrong mountain fast, you're still going the wrong way. Key Takeaways: Why financial wealth is only one part of the equation—and how to identify the other four. The concept of “anything above zero compounds” and how it reshapes consistency. Why time is your most valuable currency—and how to design more of it. The dimmer switch model for life balance (and why the on/off switch ruins your future). The Think Day ritual: how one hour of reflection can realign your life's direction. Let this be your pause. Let this be your moment to check in. Because maybe, just maybe—you're already living out your prayers. Max out.  

“You're Closer Than You Think” What if the reason you haven't hit that next level yet… is because you're treating your goals like a hobby instead of a profession? In this episode, I'm sharing two of the most impactful success principles that separate the elite from everybody else: repetitions and deadlines. I've spent 30 years working with some of the best athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs on the planet—and I'm telling you, these two fundamentals are the quiet edge they all rely on. Whether it's Steph Curry taking 500 shots a day, Adele putting in over 2,400 hours of rehearsal before her Vegas residency, or Tiger Woods grinding on the range for 10 hours a day—greatness isn't random. It's repetitive. It's intentional. And it's scheduled. Most people don't have a “talent” problem—they have a rep problem. And they've trained their brain to tolerate procrastination because they never assign a deadline to what matters. In this episode, I break down how high performers lock in success before anyone's watching—when it's quiet, when it's boring, and when no one's clapping. Your standard isn't how good you are on your best day. It's how consistent you are when you're tired, stressed, or distracted. You don't separate yourself during the performance—you do it in the preparation. This episode will challenge you to raise the bar on your reps, sharpen your focus with deadlines, and finally own your craft like the pro you were born to be. Key Takeaways: Why reps matter more than raw talent How Steph Curry, Tiger Woods, and Adele stay elite The three stages of mastery: Awkward, Mechanical, Natural The real reason your brain avoids deadlines—and how to flip the script How to activate your subconscious and unconscious mind to work in your favor Why pressure is a privilege and how to use it to your advantage It's not miles away. You're one rep, one deadline, one decision closer than you think. Let's get you moving. Max out.

What If You Could Train Your Brain to Thrive in Chaos? Let's face it—life doesn't always go according to plan. And if you're like most people, uncertainty can feel like quicksand. That's why I brought Rich Diviney back on the show. He's a former Navy SEAL, a brilliant thinker, and one of the most practical minds I've ever met when it comes to performance under pressure. In this conversation, we don't just talk about facing fear—we talk about how to operate at your best when everything around you is unclear. Rich breaks down what he calls the Uncertainty Method, a six-part framework designed to help you stay calm, focused, and effective when the stakes are high. We get into how your brain actually responds to stress, how to manage your energy like a pro, and why picking the right "horizon"—your next small target—is the difference between quitting and making it through. This isn't theory. It's real-life application that I've used in my own life, and I promise you, it works. There's a moment where Rich explains the power of asking better questions—how a single shift in language can literally change your brain's chemistry. Instead of asking, “Why does this always happen to me?” what if you asked, “What can I do right now to move forward?” These aren't just mindset tricks. These are tactical tools that can help you lead better, parent better, and live with more clarity in uncertain times. And I loved how we ended the show—talking about identity, leadership, and why the best teams don't follow one leader… they shift leadership based on who's best equipped to lead in the moment. That's how you build trust. That's how you build results. Key Takeaways: The difference between peak and optimal performance—and why optimal wins over time A 6-part method to stay grounded and productive in uncertain, high-stress environments How to use breathing and language to rewire your nervous system on demand Why chunking your goals into manageable “horizons” helps you avoid overwhelm The four elements that create trust on any team: competence, consistency, character, and compassion This episode is loaded with wisdom you can use the moment you stop listening. Rich doesn't just talk about resilience—he lives it. And after this conversation, you'll be able to say the same. Max out.  

What if the thing you're complaining about today… is the very thing someone else is praying for? This week, I'm sharing something personal—something I needed myself. This is about perspective. About understanding that your existence isn't some random accident. It's the result of over 4,000 people—your ancestors—who endured hardships, made sacrifices, and showed courage… just so you could be here. That means something. And you owe it to them—and to yourself—to not waste this moment. I talk about what it means to honor your past and your future, even when you're in pain. Because pain is part of the path. It's not the end of your story—it's the middle. There's a difference between pain and suffering. Pain is inevitable. Suffering? That's a choice. My dad taught me that while he was fighting cancer. He chose to see one more dinner, one more golf game with his grandson—not suffering. That changed me. Time is the greatest blessing we're given. I don't care how old you are—right now is probably the youngest, healthiest you'll ever be again. What are you doing with that? What are you building? Who are you loving? Are you going to get to the end of your life full of regret because you didn't let yourself be happy? Or are you going to live a life true to YOU—not somebody else's script? You're one decision away from a whole new life. One shift in mindset. One commitment to gratitude. One day where you tie a knot, hold on, and refuse to let go. Don't let the enemy within stop you from realizing how far you've already come—and how much more is still waiting for you. Key Takeaways: You are the result of 4,094 ancestors—honor their legacy with your life. Time and health are your greatest blessings—don't take them for granted. Pain is real, but suffering is a choice—you're stronger than you think. Regret often comes from not living your truth, not from failure. Everything you need to win is already inside you. This is your moment. Open the gift. Live like your life matters—because it absolutely does.  

If you're always trying to win every argument, you're losing something even more valuable. That's the core of what Jefferson Fisher and I get into on this thought provoking episode. I sought Jefferson out because he doesn't teach communication like anybody else. He's not just sharing fluffy ideas—he's equipping you with real, specific language that will change how you lead, how you listen, and how you handle conflict. We talk about what happens when you're in a conversation with someone who constantly needs control, someone who dominates, picks on you, or flat out disrespects your boundaries. Jefferson explains how to take the remote control out of their hands and hand them the manual for how to engage with you instead. That's when you start reclaiming your peace and your power. We unpack how silence is the ultimate signal of confidence. Not yelling. Not overpowering. Silence. The best communicators and the best leaders don't rush—because confidence isn't loud, it's steady. If you've ever struggled with pacing your words, managing emotions in heated moments, or just knowing when and how to end a conversation, this is your masterclass. And if you've been allowing certain communication patterns in your life for years—letting people talk to you in ways you know you shouldn't tolerate—Jefferson gives you the language to change that dynamic today. Not tomorrow. Not after another fight. Right now. Key Takeaways: • Why trying to “win” every argument costs you connection, influence, and respect • How to reset boundaries—even after years of tolerating unhealthy communication • What to say when someone gets passive-aggressive, disrespectful, or flat-out rude • The secret to controlling the pace of a conversation—especially when emotions run high • How silence, tone, and timing can make you a more effective communicator and leader This is one of those episodes you'll want to replay with a notepad. Jefferson's wisdom will help you be more respected at work, more present in your relationships, and more in control of how you show up in every conversation. Max out.

“Stop Negotiating With Yourself” What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't the world—but the deal you keep cutting with yourself? In this episode, I get real about the mindset gap between average and extraordinary. It's not about tactics or hacks—it's energy. The truth is, the most successful people I know are fueled by something different. They're in a bigger hurry. They bring a different intensity. They don't just react to life—they use it. Pain, doubt, rejection—it's all fuel. And if you're ready to go to the next level, it's time to stop letting life happen to you and start making it happen because of you. This is a wake-up call. Your energy is either lifting people or leaving them cold. Your pace is either moving the needle or stalling your dreams. The world doesn't reward the most prepared—it rewards the ones who show up with presence, urgency, and an unshakable belief in who they can become. You're not here to conform. You're here to compete—to fight for your future and prove yourself right. I'm challenging you today. Raise your standard. Compete harder. Delay gratification. Move faster. And for the love of God, stop negotiating with the greatest version of you. Because that version? They're waiting for you to finally act like the person you were born to be. Key Takeaways: Why energy—not strategy—is the real game changer How to use adversity as fuel, not an excuse The dangers of negotiating with yourself Why urgency and delayed gratification go hand in hand What it really means to be “unreasonable” in pursuit of greatness The one mindset shift that separates the average from the elite You weren't born to live a clearance-rack life. You were born to max out.

Are You Making This Huge Money Mistake? Most people think they need to make more money to get rich. But what if I told you that's exactly why they're broke? Today, I'm sitting down with Morgan Housel, the author of The Psychology of Money, to completely rewire the way you think about wealth, security, and financial freedom. If you've ever wondered why some people who earn millions still end up broke while others with modest salaries quietly build real wealth, this episode is for you. We break down the difference between being rich and being wealthy, why chasing status is a financial trap, and how most people dramatically underestimate how much money they'll need to stop working one day. Morgan shares why simple beats complex when it comes to investing, the real cost of debt-driven wealth, and how saving money isn't just about you—it's about being ready for life's inevitable curveballs. I also open up about my own financial mindset—how fear of being broke has been a bigger driver for me than the excitement of getting rich, and why even after years of making an eight-figure income, I've stuck to a strategy of endurance, not shortcuts. Whether you're just starting your financial journey or trying to level up, this conversation will challenge what you thought you knew about money. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why most people who want to be millionaires actually spend like they already are—and that's why they stay broke The #1 habit of the wealthy (hint: it has nothing to do with income) How compounding works in real life and why it's the most powerful tool you're probably ignoring The psychological traps that keep you from saving and investing Why financial independence is really about having options, not just money The hidden cost of chasing status and external approval How to prepare for life's financial curveballs—because they WILL happen At the end of the day, it's not just about how much you make—it's about how long you can keep it. Don't miss this one. Listen now and take control of your financial future!

Can You Play Hurt? The Secret to Winning When Life Knocks You Down Can you still show up and perform when everything in you wants to quit? Because THAT is what separates the greats from everyone else. In this episode, I'm asking you to take a hard look at yourself—how do you perform on the tough days? When you're sick, tired, heartbroken, or facing a setback, do you shut down… or do you step up? I share the incredible story of Cade Belyeu, a college baseball player who hit his first home run of the season just hours after losing his mother. I break down why our most defining moments often come when we're at our lowest and why playing hurt is the key to separating yourself from the pack. Whether it's in business, sports, or life, the ability to push through pain and keep moving forward is what creates legends. It's time to stop sitting in your pain and start using it. There's a gift waiting for you on the other side—if you're willing to fight for it.

The Future of Leadership: Are You Ready for What's Coming? Most people think leadership is about telling others what to do—but what if that's completely wrong? In this episode, I sit down with my great friend Brendon Burchard to challenge everything you thought you knew about leadership. The world is changing faster than ever, and the old way of leading just won't cut it anymore. If you're still leading the way you did five years ago, you're already falling behind. Brendon and I break down what it really takes to lead in today's world, from how to get people to buy into your vision to why energy is your most valuable leadership asset. We're talking about what separates great leaders from those who struggle to keep their teams engaged—and trust me, it's not what you think. Brendon shares his game-changing insight: “People support what they create.” If your people don't feel like they have a stake in the vision, they'll never be all in. We also get into the biggest leadership mistake holding most people back—clinging to old ideas instead of adapting. Even legendary leadership expert John Maxwell told me that he used to believe consistency was the key… until he realized that in today's world, great leaders must be willing to change their minds when new information comes in. The companies and leaders who refuse to evolve? They won't survive the next five years.

Are You Living in a Prison Without Bars? Some of the most locked-up people aren't behind steel bars—they're trapped in their own minds. My guest today, my friend Damon West, knows this better than anyone. Once a promising college quarterback, he spiraled into addiction and crime, ultimately sentenced to life in prison. But Damon didn't just survive—he transformed. He found a way to change his environment from the inside out, becoming what he calls a "coffee bean"—a force for change rather than a victim of his surroundings. Damon's story is unreal. He was sentenced to life but earned his way out by changing himself first. Today, he's one of the most sought-after speakers in the world, sharing the same message that saved him. He went from practicing speeches in his parents' spare bedroom to standing in front of NFL teams, Fortune 500 companies, and thousands of students. He's proof that no matter how far you've fallen, you can rewrite your story. This conversation is filled with raw truth and real strategies. We break down what it takes to overcome mental prisons, fear, and limiting beliefs. Damon shares how he got his first big break by refusing to take “no” for an answer and the lessons he's learned from some of the world's greatest leaders. And in a moment that will stay with you, he reveals a forgiveness letter from one of his victims—proof that redemption is possible. This episode is about hope. It's about getting back up when life knocks you down. And it's about understanding that your past doesn't define you—your decisions do. Key Takeaways ✅ The coffee bean mindset—how to change your environment instead of letting it change you ✅ How Damon went from seven years in maximum security to becoming a top speaker ✅ Why you must ask the question—and how one bold move got him in front of Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney ✅ The power of gratitude and giving—how a simple keychain changed his entire life ✅ The life-changing impact of forgiveness—including the letter that changed everything If Damon West can rebuild his life from a prison cell to flying private, what's stopping you from making a change today? This is your wake-up call. Let's go!

What if your biggest fear is the one thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live? Fear is a liar. It whispers that you're not good enough, that you should wait, that failure is too risky. But what if I told you that fear is actually the roadmap to your next breakthrough? In this episode, I sit down with some of the most incredible minds—Tony Robbins, Rich Diviney, Jen Gottlieb, Colin O'Brady, Robin Sharma, John Assaraf, and James Lawrence—to break down how fear is shaping your decisions, holding you back, and how you can use it as fuel to push forward. Tony Robbins reveals how the media and external noise create unnecessary fear, and how the difference between fear and faith is simply the story we tell ourselves. Rich Diviney talks about resilience—not just bouncing back but coming back stronger—and shares the mindset shift that separates top performers from everyone else. Jen Gottlieb teaches how to put fear in the passenger seat and take control of your life, proving that when you face fear head-on, its power over you disappears. Colin O'Brady takes us through his incredible transformation from being told he'd never walk again to breaking world records by choosing courage over comfort. You'll also hear Robin Sharma explain why fear is the gateway to greatness, how we must “hug the monster” and realize that most of what we're afraid of is an illusion. John Assaraf lays out a step-by-step process to retrain your brain and turn fear into a tool for success. And James Lawrence, the Iron Cowboy, proves that the mind is more powerful than the body, walking us through his moments of absolute physical breakdown—and how he pushed through anyway. In this episode, you will learn: - How fear creates invisible barriers that are limiting your success - The difference between fear and intuition (and how to tell them apart) - Techniques to retrain your brain and use fear as fuel instead of a roadblock - Why resilience is more than just “bouncing back”—it's about becoming stronger - The power of pushing past your limits and discovering what you're truly capable of The truth is, you're not afraid of failure—you're afraid of what happens if you actually succeed. But let me remind you of something: you were born to do something great with your life. Don't let fear rob you of that. The world doesn't need a smaller version of you—it needs the real you, stepping up, playing full out, and living at the highest level. It's time to face your fears and conquer them once and for all.

What if intelligence isn't just one thing—but many? In this episode, I sit down with one of the most influential psychologists of our time, Dr. Howard Gardner, the man behind the groundbreaking Theory of Multiple Intelligences. His work changed the way I see people—including myself—and I know it's going to change the way you see yourself and those around you. We break down the different types of intelligence and how understanding them can transform your confidence, your parenting, your leadership, and even your business.

Success isn't about talent alone—it's about the patterns you run every single day. Are your habits serving you, or are they keeping you stuck?

Are You Playing Chess or Checkers With Your Life? Most people go through life playing checkers—reacting to what's in front of them, making moves one at a time with no long-term strategy. But those who truly win? They're playing chess. They're creating patterns, structures, and behaviors that set them up for success at the highest level. In this episode, we're breaking down a concept that has fascinated me—how much of our behavior is inherited, and how much is learned? If alligators instinctively know how to survive freezing temperatures without ever being taught, what does that mean for us? Could we be operating on deep-seated patterns that go back generations? And if that's true, how do we break free and build the life we were meant to live? The key isn't endless self-analysis. Too many people spend their lives looking back, trying to dissect every piece of their past instead of stepping forward into their future. Your ability to adapt—to create new structures, new habits, and new ways of thinking—is what determines whether you stay stuck or level up. The thoughts and behaviors that got you here won't take you to the next level. At some point, you have to stop asking why everything happened to you and start asking what you're going to do next. You have a mission, a purpose, and a calling. That's why you're still here. It's time to build the structure that will take you where you were always meant to go. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✅ Why self-reflection is valuable—but self-analysis can hold you back ✅ How to identify patterns in your life that may be inherited, not chosen ✅ The one mindset shift that separates people who stay stuck from those who elevate ✅ Why adaptation—not just understanding—is the key to success ✅ How to build new habits and structures that align with your next level Your best days aren't behind you.

In this solo episode, I'm breaking down 20 daily habits that have made a massive difference in my life. Some of these are simple, some are unexpected, and a few I've never shared before. The truth is, success isn't just about major breakthroughs—it's about stacking the right habits every single day. The way you start your morning, the way you fuel your body, the way you set up your environment—it all matters. These aren't just theories; these are the habits I live by. And when you start applying them, you'll notice how the small things compound into something much bigger. I'll walk you through everything from the "Let Me Tell You About You" video habit that strengthens relationships to the importance of seeing the sky before your screen in the morning. We'll talk about structuring your to-do list, the science of hydration, and why touching your dreams—literally—can rewire your mind for success.

Are you carrying weights that are holding you back? Most people think success is about adding more—more habits, more strategies, more effort. But what if the real secret is dropping what no longer serves you? The truth is, your ability to rise is directly connected to what you're willing to let go of. Whether it's toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, or bad habits, the weights in your life are keeping you from elevating to the next level. In this episode, I'm sharing 12 life lessons that have shaped my journey—truths that will help you break free and move forward. These aren't just theories; they come from personal experience, the mistakes I've made, and the lessons I've learned. From understanding the power of forgiveness to realizing that waiting for the “perfect time” is a trap, these lessons will help you create real momentum in your life. One of the biggest wake-up calls? You will lose 60-80% of your friends when you upgrade your life. Not everyone is meant to go with you on your journey. And that's okay. Growth demands change, and part of that means letting go of relationships that no longer align with your future. As you evolve, your circle will get smaller, but it will also get stronger. So ask yourself—who do you want to be? Because in life, we don't just get what we want, we get who we are. And the best part? You're just one decision away from changing your life. Key Takeaways: The fastest way to elevate your life is to drop the weights holding you down. Stop blaming others—forgive, let go, and move forward. Waiting for the “right time” is a lie—take action now. Not everyone is meant to stay in your life—embrace the growth. You're always one decision away from a new direction. Your past does not equal your future. Your life is in your hands. Now is the time to step into the next version of you. Max out.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
