If your conversations are starting to feel more like combat, you're not alone. In this powerful episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Jefferson Fisher—trial attorney, social media sensation, and author of The Next Conversation—to talk about the small shifts that create major breakthroughs in communication. From regulating your nervous system to choosing connection over triumph, this episode is packed with practical, actionable tools you can use today.Memorable Quotes“When you set out to win an argument, you often will lose the relationship. If you only see it as something to win, that means you're going to lose a lot more.”“Who wants to be around the person who always has to be right? That is somebody who is lonely.”“Instead of seeing arguments as something to win, you see them as something to unravel.”“You don't have to like it. You just gotta understand it.”“That's the key with connection: I can disagree with you and still connect with you. I can still be unhappy, I can still be mad at you, and still connect with you.”“You are in complete control of the pace of the conversation.”“When you don't say it with control, you end up reacting rather than responding. It's just your natural fight or flight will take over and you're going to start responding more emotionally.”“You gotta let them pour it all out before they'll ever be willing to accept anything that you say.”Key TakeawaysArguments Aren't Battles. If your goal is to win, you've already lost. Reframe arguments as something to unravel, not conquer.Start With Self-Control. Nervous system regulation is the key to effective communication—especially when things get tense.Use “Small Talks.” Short, verb-based phrases like “be still” or “practice kindness” can center you in high-stakes conversations.Connection > Agreement. We don't always have to be on the same page to cultivate a meaningful relationship.Confidence Follows Action. Speak with assertiveness, not apology. Confidence grows as you use your voice.ResourcesThe Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk MoreJefferson Fisher on InstagramThe Jefferson Fisher PodcastWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/kJsQe3S3rw0This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

The word is: I experimented. I didn't fail.”“You give other people the credit when things are right and take the hit when things are wrong. Because it is your job as the leader.”“People are our greatest blessing and they also give us the most trouble.”“I have to constantly stop and say: Let them do it. You did hand it off. Don't take it back. They're doing okay.”Key TakeawaysBusiness Is Hard. If you're a small business owner struggling to make it all work, you're in really good company. The struggle is normal, and you're not alone.Cut Through the Fog. You don't need to know the whole path. You just need enough clarity to light your next steps.Good News: You're the Problem.

What if the answer to your overwhelm isn't a new planner or app—but a walk around the block, a shared meal, or a Saturday spent gardening? In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Arthur Boers, author of Living into Focus and Shattered, to talk about the kind of practices that help us resist the pressure of a hyperconnected world and even heal from generational trauma by reconnecting to what matters most. If you've ever longed to feel more grounded, whole, or present, this conversation will give you the language—and tools—you've been missing.Memorable Quotes“Technoloy itself is not the problem. Technology is human manipulation of nature for human priorities… The question is: Do we master technology or does technology master us?”“What we ought to do is raise the thresholds against things that are not the priority… And then the other thing is lower the threshold for things that are your priorities."“Focal practice is just helping us reclaim things that we knew or did before and helping us prioritize them, helping us have a different perspective on them.”“Compassion is the way forward. It doesn't help to school people who are struggling with these things—but to listen to them with patience and kindness and compassion can, in fact, make a difference.”“Focal practices are about getting away from just acting automatically. That's how I was raised: If you act automatically, it's right. You're justified… I've had to unlearn that.”“It means a willingness to live with ambiguity and to live with pain and to live with things that aren't resolved and hold there—that's a hard learning.”Key TakeawaysFocal Practices Are More Than Habits. Focal practices aren't just routines—they're meaningful rhythms that require intentionality, foster connection, and reorient us to what matters most.Technology Calls For Discernment. Technology isn't going anywhere—but the way we engage with it should be thoughtful. The key to balance? Honest conversations in community.We Need Yellow Lights. In a culture of nonstop green lights (and plenty of red-light alarmism), we need more yellow lights—space to pause, reflect, and consider what's truly right for the moment.Brake Your Enthusiasm. Eager to dive headfirst into focal practices? That's your cue to slow down. Start small, stay consistent, and let the benefits build over time.An Unexpected Path to Healing. Focal practices don't just bring focus—they can bring healing. By creating spaces of safety, embodiment, and rhythm, they can support recovery from trauma and help us move toward greater wholeness.ResourcesLiving into Focus by Arthur BoersShattered: A Memoir by Arthur BoersThe Way is Made by Walking by Arthur BoersArthurBoers.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/ypJvOm0z8IUThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Drawing from his background in functional medicine and personal experience with a life-altering spinal infection, Dr. Axe shares the most overlooked key to healing and how you can start applying it today.Memorable Quotes“The number one determining factor of longevity for you is having strong relationships.”“If you wake up first thing in the morning and get outside, it's one of the single greatest things you can do for longevity and your microbiome.”“This is all about training your nervous system and encouraging your body that ‘This is going to happen.'”“There's a lot of people that win at all costs, but they never end up winning. We hear all the stories. They're never truly winning.”Key TakeawaysThe Biology of Belief. What you believe about your body impacts everything from gut function to recovery speed.

What is a calling? How does it shape our work and life? What's the hidden cost of pursuing it (and what can we do about it)? In this engaging, high-energy conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Arianna Molloy—calling researcher, author, and professor—to unpack the power and pitfalls of purpose-driven work.Arianna reveals the four key elements of a true calling, practical safeguards to prevent burnout, and three concrete shifts anyone in any field can make to start experiencing a greater sense of purpose and meaning at work.  She also explains why humility—not just passion—is the key to sustainable success. If you've ever struggled to balance meaningful work with a healthy life, this episode is a must-listen.Memorable Quotes“Burnout from a calling isn't just, ‘I don't know what I'm doing anymore.' It's, ‘I don't know who I am anymore.'”“To learn how to rest well, to learn how to have good boundaries actually protects that healthy sense of your calling.”“It is so important that work is not all that you have and all that you are because, guess what? At the end of the day, [your work] is going to change and shift… If we hold that with a closed hand, it's not going to go well.”“[Calling is] really relational. It's a relationship with yourself, the caller, and it's a relationship with the community that you impact.”“Most of the time, [calling] happens upon reflection… In the moment, it's not so obvious. This subtle sense of peace, or just a feeling like, ‘I think this is right.'”“We don't honor that need and importance of play as much as we could.”“The lynchpin is humility. Part of humility is the willingness to learn more, to know that you don't know everything and that is not a threat—it's actually exciting.”Key TakeawaysThe Bright and Dark Sides of Calling. A strong sense of purpose can fuel motivation, but without boundaries, it can also lead to burnout and identity loss.The Four Elements of a True Calling. Calling isn't just about passion—it requires meaning, an identified caller, skill development, and a connection to community.How to Reframe Your Work. Even if your current job doesn't feel like a calling, job crafting—adjusting your tasks, relationships, or mindset—can create a deeper sense of meaning.The Role (and Definition) of Humility. True calling requires both confidence in your strengths and an openness to growth and makes it possible to step away from work without guilt.The Power of Rest.

And I know that if I extend myself too far, I'm not the best version of who I want to be.”“If I'm saying yes to everything and I'm overcommitting and my schedule is absolutely full, there's no space for creativity. There's no space for dreaming. There's no space for new ideas or realizations.”“A lot of business owners are lonely, actually isolated.”“As leaders, part of our job is just kind of to help people settle and know they're safe.”“Stewardship is just simply managing something for a season of time… While we're there with our employees and leaders, we're stewarding our relationships with them.”Key TakeawaysThe Loneliness of Leadership.

Your impact gets larger and larger over time.”“Extraordinary starts this way: It starts small and it grows so much faster than we can imagine.”“There's two groups of people in life: doers who don't have space to dream and dreamers who don't have space to do.”“It creates anxiety and fear because it matters. We don't want to fail at the things that matter most to us.”“Our culture rewards busy people who move fast and get things done.”“It should always be situational. When do we need to be fast? When do we need to be slow?”“If you're going to do something extraordinary, it's not going to be because you did millions of things. It's going to be because you did that thing and the handful of things that matter around it extraordinarily well.”“Everything in life that matters happens pretty slowly.”Key TakeawaysThe Focus Bunker: How to design a workspace that protects your attention so you can do your best workThe Domino Effect: The science behind tiny actions that lead to exponential growthThe Myth of Busyness: Why getting a lot done doesn't mean you're moving forward (and what does)The Value of Slow: How taking your time can actually speed up your success—and why the best things take timeRituals for High Performance: Small habits that make big results inevitable (and how you can implement them today.)ResourcesThe One Thing by Gary Keller & Jay PapasanThe One Thing PodcastWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/UnMEk4qAJcwThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Rich unpacks how leaders can embrace self-awareness, tackle work addiction, and redefine success by asking one simple but life-changing question: “What do you want?”Memorable Quotes“Most of success is actually about mining your past.”“No one really remembers a comfortable life.”“My favorite coaching question is the simplest one. It's: What do you want? Especially if you're really good at helping other people, it's actually really hard to answer for yourself.”“The most underrated skill in leadership is self-awareness.”“The power of great coaching is that you can see things that others can't see. And you're bold enough to say what others won't dare to say.”“I don't need to be better at what they do than they are. They're the best in the planet at what they do. I'm the one who's bold enough to challenge their thinking.”“If your heart tells you to say this to do this, then you need to lean into that edge, even if it's to start off by saying, ‘Hey, I feel a little bit nervous to say this.'”“If you're addicted to alcohol, to drugs, to sex, to the internet, there's all sorts of help you can get to support you. If you're addicted to work, everything is set up to support you in doing more of it.”“You need things that nurture your spirit. And as much as doing work that you love can feel great, it doesn't always nurture your soul.”“We're not stronger than that algorithm. We can't be. So we need ways to support.”Key TakeawaysAsk “What Do You Want?” This simple yet powerful question unlocks clarity and reveals what truly matters.Self-Awareness Fuels Success.

Ian shares insights from his new book, The Fix, offering a fresh perspective on how the 12 Steps can transform lives—even for those who don't identify as addicts. This episode dives into universal human struggles, addressing how we numb pain, avoid truth, and search for solutions in all the wrong places.Memorable Quotes“Trying to solve an inside problem with an outside solution doesn't work.”“Human beings are always on the prowl for a fix, looking for something to distract or numb the big ache of what it means to be simply human.”“All human beings are fundamentally restless.”“The whole point of the 12-step program is to facilitate a spiritual awakening of sufficient force that it expels the need for external solutions to internal problems.”“Real happiness comes when you make memories in community.”“People get sick in secret. They get well together.”“The three most courageous words in the world are ‘I need help.'”“Powerlessness is a superpower. When you finally admit ‘I am powerless' or ‘I do not have control over nearly as much of life as I think I do' suddenly a great, great burden is lifted from your shoulders.”“Ultimately what we want for ourselves and the people we love most is freedom.”“All addicts are frustrated mystics.”“As I've kind of unraveled the codependency addiction that I had, I've realized that I have to just be okay with people not changing. I want them to change. I pray for them to change. But they have to want it.”“Your addiction is just a bad solution to a very real problem.”“The number one addiction? Playing God.”Key TakeawaysThe Big Ache: Everyone carries a longing—an ache—for more. When unmet, it often leads to unhealthy patterns like workaholism, social media scrolling, or compulsive busyness.A Plan for Transformation: The 12 Steps offer a simple yet profound roadmap to freedom and flourishing, focusing on making peace with God, yourself, and others.Addiction Looks Different for High Achievers: Addiction isn't always dramatic.

Daniel shares practical strategies for thriving as a leader by first thriving as a person. From setting boundaries to crafting a life plan, his advice will help you create lasting success at work and at home.Memorable Quotes“[Being well-balanced] elevates leadership efficacy because people are making conscious and subconscious decisions about who you are as a person by what they see, what they observe, how you speak, how you feel.”“It's very difficult to find a place of contentment if you're playing the competition game.”“I'm not being driven out of a place of scarcity. I'm being driven out of a place of opportunity and out of a burden to help and an opportunity to make a difference.”“Self-leadership always precedes team effectiveness and team effectiveness always precedes organizational impact.”“Management meetings are a lot of telling. Coaching sessions are a lot of asking.”“I think that is what really needs to be at the heart of a coaching leader: It's not that you are just comfortable with your people being better than you are. You actually desire it.”“A leader's effectiveness is determined by just two things: The decisions they make and the influence they have.”“My morning routine is my vacation every day. I get a vacation first thing in the morning. I don't have to wake up early. I get to.”Key TakeawaysSelf-Leadership First: Your effectiveness as a leader begins with how well you lead yourself.

And the main message is: You have to overcome negativity with positivity.”“You're the driver. You decide the kind of ride it's going to be… It's all about ownership.”“You write down your success of the day and every night you go to bed a success. Every morning you wake up a success. You're now creating more and more success because what you focus on starts to show up more in your life.”“The root for the Greek word ‘anxious' means to separate and divide. And so someone who's anxious, they feel separate and divided. What does fear do? Divides.”“The change happened when I started to take walks of gratitude every day because I read you can't be stressed and thankful at the same time.”“You're not the thoughts you think—you're the thoughts you believe. Negative thoughts are going to come in all the time. What thoughts are you believing and what stories are you choosing to believe about yourself?”“There's a feeling that you're winning [at work and at home] and yet at the same time, you're probably always going to feel like. ‘What can I do better? And how can I do this more in both places?' I call it positive discontent.”Key TakeawaysYou're the Driver: Own your energy and your impact.

Carey dives into his journey from lawyer to pastor to leadership coach, sharing how he's learned to manage energy and avoid burnout while building an impactful career.Carey's insights touch on the importance of self-leadership, the dangers of “mid-grade burnout,” and strategies for setting lasting boundaries.

It was sort of the Wall Street of Canada, right? I realized very early on: Oh, it's empty up here.”“I think you've got to make a decision: I'm going to trust again. I'm going to hope again. I'm going to believe again.”“Cynical people are never curious and curious people are never cynical. They seem to be mutually exclusive.”“That position of feeling numb most days is a big warning sign.”“We're inundated with too many relationships and we're overwhelmed, overworked, overcommitted.”“If you're winning at work and losing at home, you're losing.”Key TakeawaysSelf-Leadership Matters: Carey explains that leading yourself well is the foundation of effective leadership.The Dangers of Mid-Grade Burnout: While many recognize full-blown burnout, Carey highlights the subtler, persistent signs that show up as disengagement or apathy.Prioritize Close Relationships: Carey describes the power of “3–5 deep friendships” that keep us grounded and resilient.The Antidote to Cynicism: When cynicism creeps in, choosing curiosity can help leaders reconnect and stay energized.Boundaries with Purpose: Categorical decisions (like “no breakfast meetings”) can help protect your peak hours and ensure work doesn't consume your personal life.ResourcesDidn't See It Coming by Carey NieuwhofThe Carey Nieuwhof Leadership PodcastWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/lK5NYaZGm3wThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael and Megan Hyatt Miller sit down with bestselling author and trauma-informed coach, Mastin Kipp, to discuss the profound impact of understanding and regulating the nervous system. Mastin shares insights from his new book, Reclaim Your Nervous System, and explains how unresolved trauma and dysregulation can hinder personal and professional growth.The conversation explores the practical applications of polyvagal theory, co-regulation, and how leaders can foster psychological safety by mastering their own nervous systems. Mastin covers everything from the body's hierarchy of responses to stress (green, yellow, and red states), to the effects of trauma on leadership, parenting, and personal well-being. By learning how to identify and manage these states, listeners can unlock a new level of performance and healing.Memorable Quotes“We have this idea that ‘If I can change my thoughts, I can change my life,' which is accurate, but there's a lot going on below the brain that we also want to understand.”“The issue is when we have a neuroceptive mismatch, where I'm in the presence of something dangerous, but I'm not being activated to move. Or I'm not in the presence of danger, but my neuroception is telling me that I am.”“I think of re-regulation as like the bicep curl or the squat. You're going to get dysregulated automatically. So let's re-regulate—the re-regulation is the rep.”“If the leader, or CEO, or C-Suite isn't creating that culture [of safety], then it will fall apart when there are challenges. Just like we need to have a flexible nervous system, we need to have a flexible cultural nervous system to be able to manage the flexible challenges of business also.”“Trauma is any experience of threat, disconnection, isolation, or immobilization that results in the long-term or chronic dysregulation of either your endocrine system, your immune system, your emotional body, your brain, your body, your spirit—your health on any level, basically.”“The problem with successful people and ambitious people is every time we level up, we increase complexity and stress, and those pathways get activated again.”“Stoicism is great for growth. It's just not great for healing.”Key TakeawaysUnderstanding the Nervous System: The nervous system governs how we experience life. Recognizing when we are in a "fight or flight" state (yellow) or a "shut down" state (red) allows us to make conscious decisions to move back into a "ventral vagal" state (green), where we're most productive and connected.The Power of Co-Regulation: Leaders, parents, and partners all play a role in co-regulating others. Learning how to stay calm and collected can positively influence those around you, fostering a more supportive and effective environment.Trauma's Role in Leadership: Unresolved trauma can cause leaders to react disproportionately, affecting their teams and overall performance. Recognizing and healing these trauma responses is essential for effective leadership.Reframing Anxiety and Stress: Instead of seeing anxiety as an isolated mental challenge, Mastin explains how it's deeply tied to our physical nervous system and can be addressed by body-based approaches like somatic experiencing.Neuroception and Safety: Our bodies are constantly scanning for safety or danger. Learning to re-regulate when our neuroception is triggered can help us stay present and avoid unnecessary reactions to perceived threats.Reclaim Your Life: Trauma doesn't need to define your future. By understanding your nervous system, you can reclaim your happiness and make progress in all areas of life, from work to personal relationships.ResourcesMastin Kipp on Instagram: @mastinkippMastin Kipp's Book: Reclaim Your Nervous SystemWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/hhMXVMNDCIY

They're underestimated because they do take consistency to see results.”“Especially as women, we can have this martyr mindset where everyone's first. That might work for a week, a season, but you will get so depleted. And then what do you have?”“As I'm blocking out my schedule, I'm curating the life I actually want.”“There's so much I say no to, and I love it.”“You have to truly build systems for your life. I think we focus so much on systems from a business perspective, but I mean for your personal life.”“One of my goals for 2024 was to stop saying, ‘I don't have time.' I say, ‘I don't make time for that' because I really believe we have time to do the things that we want to do. We can't do everything, but that's why you need to know what you want to do.”Key TakeawaysLess But Better Philosophy: Jordan's approach to skincare and life is rooted in minimalism—prioritizing quality over quantity in everything she does.Serving the Need: How did Bareface scale to 250,000 customers in a crowded market? By centering helping over selling.Importance of Time Blocking: Using the Full Focus Planner and time blocking helps her manage her business, family, and personal life effectively.Outsourcing and Systems: Delegating tasks at work and home, including hiring help for household management, enables her to focus on what matters most.Family and Work Balance: With four kids under five, Jordan stresses the importance of systems, outsourcing, and creating margin in her life to be present with her family.ResourcesJordan Harper on Instagram: @jordanharpernpBarefaced Skincare: barefaced.comFull Focus Planner: fullfocusplanner.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/eiuLjusUa2A

If it's not a clear yes, it becomes a clear no.”“Maybe you can't control everything, but if you could take control of half an hour and use that to design what you want to do, instead of operating by default, it improves the quality of life for the rest of the 23 and a half hours.”“You want everything essential to be as effortless as possible. So that single question is: How can I make this effortless?”Key TakeawaysThe Power Half-Hour: Take control of 30 minutes of your day to focus on what matters, whether it's in the morning or the evening, and see the ripple effect on the rest of your time.Essentialism vs. Minimalism: While minimalism is about reducing physical clutter, essentialism is about reducing mental clutter—focusing only on what is truly necessary.Saying No: The ability to say “no” is crucial to staying aligned with your priorities, whether that means saying no to others or even to your own distractions.Effortless Execution: Reframe essential tasks to be more enjoyable and less daunting, making it easier to achieve your most important goals.Radical Gratitude: Practice gratitude not just for the good things, but for all experiences, as a way to shift your mindset and discover hidden opportunities for growth.ResourcesGreg McKeown's Website: gregmckeown.comEssentialism by Greg McKeownEffortless by Greg McKeown

Hal also introduces his powerful “5-Minute Rule” for moving through adversity and offers practical insights for building habits that will transform your life.Memorable Quotes“I can't change what happened, but I can choose to be at peace with what I can't change, grateful for what I have, and focus on the things that are in my control.”“The more you resist reality and wish it were different, the more pain we create for ourselves. Freedom is in acceptance. Freedom is in being at peace with what you can't change.”“Most people who experience failure probably didn't stay with it for long enough. They didn't have the frustration tolerance. So they just gave up and said, ‘This isn't working.' And it takes a while to break through.”“I love that you're starting your day with silence—peaceful, purposeful silence to get centered, to gain clarity, to calm your nervous system.”“I was prioritizing the impact I could make in the world over the impact I could make in my family. It was quantity over quality. When I had cancer, it was the epiphany that the impact I could make on their three lives far superseded the impact I could make on the world.”“The Miracle Morning allows me to focus on the two things I can control: Who I become every day and how I show up. It is ensuring I am fully aware of what's going on inside me and thoughtful and intentional about showing up as my best for those I love and lead.Key TakeawaysThe 5-Minute Rule: Allow yourself five minutes to process difficult emotions, then let go by saying, "I can't change it," and move forward.The Power of Ritual: Implementing the Miracle Morning routine (silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and journaling) can shift your mindset and set you up for success, no matter how busy or unpredictable life gets.Writing Affirmations that Work: Passive affirmations take you nowhere, but written commitments that connect the future you want to the actions you'll take drive transformation.What Matters Most: It took a cancer scare for Hal to realize that changing the lives of his family “far superseded” changing the world.Resilience Through Faith: Hal's unshakeable belief in himself and his faith helped him defy the odds and recover from life-threatening challenges.ResourcesThe Miracle Morning by Hal ElrodHal Elrod's Website: miraclemorning.comThe Miracle Morning AppWatch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lkVhExNOXY8For complete show notes and resources, visit https://doublewinshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
