When his children discovered Pokemon during the pandemic, most parents would have simply bought the cards and moved on. Instead, Pat saw an opportunity to bridge generational gaps and create something meaningful. His approach wasn't to jump in blindly—he spent months immersing himself in the Pokemon community, becoming a moderator, attending events, and truly understanding what collectors wanted before ever hitting record. This patient, relationship-first strategy transformed a simple hobby into a thriving business that now hosts 5,000-person live events and attracts partnerships with major sports teams.The entrepreneur's methodology extends far beyond Pokemon cards, offering a blueprint for anyone looking to monetize their passions authentically. Pat's willingness to hire a 15-year-old Fortnite coach to connect with his kids, his decision to research communities before creating content, and his bold pitch to open Pokemon packs at Ford Field demonstrate how curiosity and genuine interest can unlock unexpected opportunities. His story proves that success isn't about chasing trends—it's about finding your tribe, serving them authentically, and letting organic growth compound over time. From zero to 100,000 subscribers in under a year to over 1 million today, Pat's journey shows how embracing your authentic interests, no matter how niche, can create profound business and personal fulfillment.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Entrepreneur and business strategist Daniel Priestley reveals how the industrial age model of 15 years of education, 25 years as a worker, 10 years as a manager, and retirement has been shattered by the digital revolution. Geography no longer dictates your value, physical products have given way to intellectual property and software, and the most successful professionals now operate in fast-action loops - identifying problems, assembling small teams, testing solutions, and scaling rapidly before moving to the next opportunity.Priestley exposes the reality of the new economy where high performers juggle multiple ventures simultaneously - writing books, running agencies, developing AI products, organizing events - all with lean teams of just five people creating extraordinary value. He addresses the common trap of spreading yourself too thin across too many opportunities, becoming a "seven out of ten" at everything, and shares the strategic approach to cycling between expansion and focus phases. For professionals feeling stuck in outdated career models or overwhelmed by endless opportunities, this conversation provides a roadmap for thriving in our high-velocity, digitally-driven economy where adaptability and strategic focus determine success.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Because you don't have the skills to wield it." - Alex HormoziEntrepreneur Alex Hormozi shares a transformative perspective that challenges conventional investment wisdom, revealing why investing in yourself trumps any stock market return. Drawing from his family's experience of losing everything to government seizure and his father's journey from arriving in America with just $1,000 to becoming a successful doctor, Hormozi exposes the critical flaw in get-rich-quick mentalities. His powerful analogy of wishing for a weapon without the skill to wield it illuminates why so many lottery winners and overnight success stories end up broke again.Hormozi's "S&Me 500" philosophy demonstrates how a $1,000 investment in skill development can yield exponentially greater returns than traditional investments, potentially turning modest savings into $30,000 rather than $1,300. His grandfather's wisdom about having "two hands and one brain" becomes a blueprint for building unshakeable wealth that no government, divorce, or economic crash can confiscate. Through raw honesty about money behaviors and the psychology of wealth-building, this conversation reveals the difference between gambling on luck and systematically building lasting financial success through skill mastery and extended time horizons.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Am I gonna have payroll? I don't want that. I'm happy making less money but doing it the way I want." - Noah KaganSuccess isn't just about the money—it's about designing a life you actually want to live. Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo, reveals the counterintuitive truth about what separates millionaires from billionaires and why the most successful entrepreneurs focus obsessively on just one thing. After studying countless business titans from the founder of Ethernet to the creator of Kinko's, Kagan discovered that billion-dollar success stories share two critical elements: unwavering focus on a single opportunity and choosing markets with endless demand and repeat customers.But here's the twist that will challenge everything you think about entrepreneurship—some of the wealthiest founders lived in constant stress for decades, questioning whether true success means sacrificing your peace of mind for profit. Kagan's journey from his anxious twenties to his calm forties offers a roadmap for ambitious professionals who want to build wealth without burning out. Learn why "boring businesses" in billion-dollar markets like lawn care and pool maintenance might be your ticket to freedom, and discover the profound definition of success that has nothing to do with your bank account balance.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

I'm a vegetarian, but I could validate why somebody would choose to eat meat. That doesn't mean I agree with them. I just see the validity in their argument and I can focus on that instead of the part that I disagree with." - Caroline FleckCaroline Fleck transforms how we understand human connection through her groundbreaking validation ladder technique, revealing why most people feel unheard despite endless conversations. Drawing from her expertise in therapeutic intervention and behavioral psychology, she exposes the critical difference between simply listening and truly making someone feel seen. Her revolutionary approach helps everyone from suicidal clients to elite executives break through emotional barriers by focusing on one powerful principle: finding the kernel of truth in every perspective, even when you fundamentally disagree.The conversation unveils fascinating insights into mirror neurons and the science of mimicry, demonstrating how subtle body language copying can create profound emotional attunement between people. Caroline shares the exact mental game therapists use during sessions - a two-part riddle that transforms how you listen and respond to others. Her methods reveal why validation must come before persuasion, and how projecting genuine curiosity rather than judgment opens doors to meaningful influence and lasting behavioral change in any relationship or professional setting.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Fear that we experience is anger, jealousy, resentment, competitiveness, superiority, inferiority, compulsions, obsessions, addictions..." - Gary ZukavFrom sex addiction to discovering profound love, Gary Zukav shares his journey of spiritual awakening and personal transformation. Once believing that relationships "began and ended in sex" with "no intimacy," Gary reveals how meeting Linda Francis changed everything, leading to 27 years of a connection so "easy, so effortless, so real, so complete, so deep." Through vulnerable storytelling, he illuminates the fundamental duality we all navigate in what he calls the "Earth School" — choosing between fear-based emotions like anger, jealousy and competitiveness versus love-based experiences of gratitude, appreciation and contentment.Gary offers profound wisdom about our immortal souls and consciousness that transcends physical death. He explains that we are each writing a chapter in the eternal book of our soul's journey, and challenges listeners to consider what they're writing in their own chapter.

With decades of experience helping clients recognize narcissistic family systems, Wise explains that the most damaging aspect isn't the obvious symptoms like screaming or control, but rather the unbroken "family trance" that silently programs our relationships and self-perception.Beyond identifying narcissistic traits like lack of empathy, controlling behaviors, and an inability to apologize, Wise offers profound insight into breaking generational patterns. He challenges listeners to look beyond surface-level dysfunction to address the deeper "emotional WiFi" transmitted across generations. This conversation provides a roadmap for those struggling to understand why they repeat destructive patterns despite their best intentions, offering hope that with awareness comes the power to finally break the cycle.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

It's the experience of wanting to run away from a feeling—and you can't really run away from a feeling inside your body." - Dr. Becky KennedyIn a profound conversation about modern parenting philosophy, Dr. Becky Kennedy challenges the instinct many parents have to immediately soothe away their children's negative emotions. She explains that when parents rush to make their kids happy by dismissing or distracting from feelings like disappointment or jealousy, they unintentionally send a powerful message: these emotions are too scary to face. This pattern, Kennedy argues, doesn't create happiness but instead builds the foundation for adult anxiety, as children grow up without developing the crucial skill of sitting with uncomfortable feelings.Drawing from her experience as a clinical psychologist, Kennedy shares that many adults struggle with emotional regulation—the very skill a brain surgeon identified as most critical for human wellbeing. Rather than pursuing happiness as the primary goal of childhood, Kennedy advocates for resilience, which comes from learning to tolerate and process a wide range of emotions. This perspective offers parents a transformative approach: instead of protecting children from difficult feelings, helping them develop the emotional tools they'll need throughout life's inevitable challenges.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

It's almost impossible to succeed as a founder." - Chris CamilloFrom car detailing businesses in his teens to now being invested in 150 private companies, Chris Camillo has weathered the entrepreneurial storm countless times. With refreshing candor, he challenges the glorified narrative of entrepreneurship, revealing how even with access to some of the smartest and most ambitious minds in the business world, the path of a founder is fraught with near-certain failure. His journey illuminates a counterintuitive truth – that for most people, the smarter investment strategy isn't becoming the next groundbreaking entrepreneur, but rather identifying and investing in those rare individuals who possess the genius, drive, and often "psychopathic" dedication to succeed.Chris offers a perspective rarely voiced in today's startup-obsessed culture: why torture yourself trying to build something from scratch when you can invest in established visionaries who are already doing the work? Drawing from his extensive experience of both successes and failures, he explains how everyday investors can "ride the life" of innovative founders like Jobs, Bezos, or Musk without sacrificing their own well-being, relationships, or sanity. It's a profound lesson on working smarter rather than harder in the pursuit of financial freedom.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

They've never genuinely celebrated and felt an integrated life." - Brendon BurchardRenowned high performance coach Brendon Burchard explains why many high achievers remain emotionally unfulfilled despite their success. He points to our society's tendency to demonize success and the widespread belief that celebrating personal wins equals ego as factors preventing people from emotionally processing their accomplishments.Brendon shares his profound insight that what all humans ultimately seek is "aliveness" - that feeling of vitality from meaningful pursuits. The problem arises when people chase goals lacking personal significance, playing games that "don't matter" because of societal conditioning. True wealth, he reveals, lies not in mindless achievement but in discovering what brings you alive and holds genuine meaning.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Drawing from her personal journey of sexual abuse and dissociation, she explains how these early protective mechanisms—whether through dissociation, addiction, or self-destructive behaviors—were once necessary survival strategies that now manifest as adult struggles. Her vulnerable conversation sheds light on why many people find themselves repeating patterns they intellectually know are harmful, yet emotionally cannot seem to overcome.This episode delves into the revolutionary understanding that our most challenging behaviors aren't character flaws but rather expressions of wounded inner children who never received the support they needed. Bernstein shares insights on identifying these younger parts of ourselves and offers a compassionate framework for healing that doesn't require perfect parenting in childhood. Her approach combines psychological understanding with practical tools for reconnecting with and nurturing these fragmented aspects of self, creating a powerful roadmap for anyone looking to break free from limiting patterns and reclaim their wholeness.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

It is the part of us where our healing begins." - Gregg BradenIn a world increasingly dominated by distraction and fear, Gregg Braden reveals the extraordinary scientific discoveries confirming what ancient wisdom has long taught: we are connected to a field of infinite possibility that shapes our physical reality in every moment. Drawing from breakthrough research at CERN and findings recognized by the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, Braden explains how our 50 trillion cells—each containing about 100 trillion atoms—continuously emerge from and collapse into an energetic field that responds directly to our thoughts and emotions. This revolutionary understanding explains the mechanism behind spontaneous healing and demonstrates why changing our consciousness literally rebuilds our physical template at the atomic level.Braden courageously addresses why certain powerful interests throughout history have systematically attempted to disconnect humans from their divine nature. He warns that the current push toward merging human biology with technology by 2030 represents the latest chapter in an ancient battle—one where our inherent abilities to love fearlessly, heal naturally, and transcend limitations are at stake. By recognizing that we are "the prize" in this cosmic struggle, we can reclaim our power to reshape not only our personal health and wellbeing but potentially the future trajectory of humanity itself.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

And to me, that's a much more powerful love - a love that's rooted in absolute vulnerability and honesty." - Kerry WashingtonGrowing up in a family culture where "hide the truth to look good" was the unspoken rule, Kerry Washington always sensed something was missing despite having loving, supportive parents. For decades, she pursued various healing practices—therapy, yoga, introspection—trying desperately to feel "enough." Then came the life-altering revelation: after forty years, her parents finally shared a profound family truth they'd been concealing her entire life. Rather than shattering their relationship, this moment of raw vulnerability transformed it, allowing Kerry to offer something extraordinary in return: unconditional love without pretense or filters.The award-winning actress candidly shares how this family revelation became an unexpected gift, providing her permission to finally "relax into who I am." Through her powerful journey of self-acceptance, Kerry reveals the emotional rollercoaster of processing such life-changing information—from gratitude and bliss to anger and fear. Her story powerfully illustrates how authentic connection can only truly exist when we embrace vulnerability, demonstrating that real healing begins when we stop hiding behind comfortable lies and start embracing uncomfortable truths.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Their parents practiced "coaching confidence" before it was trendy, deliberately choosing to build their children up rather than breaking them down—a stark contrast to the prevailing parenting styles of their era. While neither parent had college degrees, they instilled in Michelle and Craig the belief that they were smart, worthy, and capable of excellence, creating a foundation of self-belief that would prove invaluable as they faced a world ready to lower expectations for "poor Black kids."The siblings' journey to Princeton University became a pivotal test of this cultivated confidence. Despite Michelle's struggles with standardized tests and encountering voices that said she was "aiming too high," the groundwork of self-belief laid by their parents proved stronger than external doubts. Their story reveals the transformative power of conscious parenting and how early experiences of success—however small—compound into the confidence needed to thrive in environments designed to challenge one's sense of belonging. As Michelle reflects, true self-confidence isn't innate but cultivated through supportive relationships and meaningful achievements that prove to ourselves that we're capable of greatness.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

It sounds like a cute line, but it's true. There's no end to what we can earn." - Bob ProctorFrom passing out from exhaustion while cleaning floors to building a cleaning empire across multiple cities, Bob Proctor shares his transformative journey with money. After collapsing on the street from overwork, he had a profound realization: working harder wasn't the answer. Instead, he shifted his approach - dressing impeccably in suits while visiting his cleaning crews, expanding to multiple locations, and discovering the power of creating systems that generate wealth automatically. His personal experience demolishes the myth that hard work alone leads to riches.Bob passionately addresses those struggling financially with direct, practical wisdom. "Most people are just a little short of money, but you are born rich, rich in potential," he explains. His advice cuts through conventional wisdom - create automatic debt repayment programs, focus on prosperity rather than scarcity, set financial goals, and most critically, establish multiple income streams like wealthy people do. Bob emphasizes that financial education must come from those who have already achieved wealth, not from well-meaning but financially struggling friends and family.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

He reveals how the wealthiest individuals he knows don't flaunt their riches but instead focus on simplicity, gratitude, and giving back. Dean shares his personal journey of learning to appreciate even the struggles that shaped him, noting how true wealth begins when money is "out of the way" and the focus turns to becoming a better version of yourself.Dean distinguishes between those who are wealthy yet unfulfilled and those who find true peace with their success. The difference? Gratitude. Instead of chasing the "bigger jet, bigger house, bigger yacht" – which he describes as "chasing a sunset while running east" – Dean advocates for looking in the rearview mirror to appreciate your progress.

Opening up about her battle with unworthiness, Lucy reveals how limiting beliefs sabotaged her success despite her outward achievements. Three years into sobriety, she shares the profound realization that transformed her life: we are "master creators" of our reality, and our thoughts shape everything we manifest—both positive and negative.Lucy's transformation began when she stopped blaming others for her circumstances and took radical responsibility for her life. Changing her environment, getting clear-headed through sobriety, and establishing healthier relationships with success and money allowed her to step into her power. Her vulnerability about the emotional "whiplash" of her third year sober demonstrates how facing difficult emotions head-on—rather than staying "booked and busy" to avoid them—ultimately led to her most powerful breakthrough: "If I changed the way I think and I believe it, and I embody that, I can change everything in my life."Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Drawing parallels between our bodies and computer operating systems, he explains how we all begin life with the same "operating system," but our choices and care patterns lead to divergent health outcomes. This revolutionary perspective offers hope to those who believe they're destined to poor health due to genetics, as Dr. Li empowers listeners with the knowledge that proactive gut health management can positively impact both mental wellbeing and longevity.The conversation delves into the fascinating "undiscovered country" of gut bacteria and its profound influence on our brain function and overall wellness. Dr. Li shares his philosophy on longevity, comparing it to "driving at night" where you can only see as far as your headlights but can still make the entire journey. His practical wisdom encourages listeners to focus on present health decisions rather than fixating solely on living to a specific age, reminding us that the journey to longevity should be one of awareness, enjoyment, and mindful choices that honor our body's natural healing capabilities.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

And the number is 30 - 30 different plants per week." - Dr. Will BulsiewiczDr. Will Bulsiewicz reveals the startling truth about our modern diet - 75% of supermarket calories come from just wheat, corn, and soy. Drawing from groundbreaking research in the American Gut Project, he explains why plant diversity is the single most important factor for gut health, with 30 different plant foods weekly being the magic number. From smoothies packed with varied seeds and berries to reimagined pasta sauces filled with herbs and vegetables, Dr. Bulsiewicz offers practical ways to transform your nutrition beyond the standard American diet where only 10% of calories come from plants.Beyond simply adding more fiber, Dr. Bulsiewicz explains the fascinating science behind why diversity matters - each plant feeds different families of gut microbes, which have unique "taste buds" and food preferences. By expanding your plant repertoire, you'll not only nourish more beneficial gut bacteria but also experience greater satiety, reducing hunger and cravings. This revolutionary approach to eating challenges us to be intentional about our food choices, prioritizing variety alongside whole, unprocessed ingredients for optimal gut health and overall wellbeing.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

With characteristic insight, Simon reveals his deep aversion to bullies and his commitment to fairness—traits that have shaped his approach to business and human connection. Through personal anecdotes, he explores the challenge many face: the disconnect between our gut instincts and our ability to articulate what we feel.

Drawing on economic principles, he presents a counterintuitive truth: just as monopolies stifle growth in business, America needs worthy competitors on the global stage to truly excel.

With refreshing honesty, Mel dismantles the myth of overnight success, revealing that championship-level achievement isn't glamorous—it's a daily grind that few are willing to embrace. She challenges listeners to recognize that the path to accomplishing goals isn't found in motivational quick fixes but in the mundane moments of discipline when no one is watching.Despite creating the famous 5-4-3-2-1 method, Mel confesses she still battles her own resistance every morning. She offers a realistic perspective on habit formation, arguing against the standard "21 days to form a habit" concept, instead suggesting that some tasks will always require conscious effort. Mel shares her practical approach to building self-belief through consistent action, giving listeners permission to aim for just 51% consistency while emphasizing that true transformation happens through proving to yourself—day after day—that you can be bigger than momentary emotions.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

It's not that they go away - they're not extreme anymore. They're in their beautifully developed chrysalis." - Gabby BernsteinGabby Bernstein returns to share her transformative journey from anxiety-driven perfectionist to empowered leader of her inner world. In this deeply personal conversation, she reveals how her "controller part" once fueled her success but at a tremendous cost - living in hyper-vigilance, constant fear, and extreme anxiety while unknowingly carrying unhealed trauma. Through her revolutionary four-step "check-in process," Gabby demonstrates how we can identify and develop harmonious relationships with the wounded aspects of ourselves that unconsciously drive our behaviors.Drawing on over a decade of personal growth (having written 10 books in 14 years), Gabby illuminates the possibility of maintaining productivity without chaos. She explains how our protective mechanisms - perfectionism, control, anxiety - aren't enemies to vanquish but parts of ourselves seeking understanding. By bringing our "self energy" to these wounded aspects rather than fighting against them, we discover they can transform from sources of suffering into allies that help us flow through life with greater ease, clarity and authentic power.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

With profound insight, he explains how these patterns often stem from childhood wounds where the masculine figures who should have provided protection failed to do so. This creates defensive patterns that block the natural flow of feminine energy and the ability to receive love.Morel challenges conventional thinking by emphasizing the importance of polarity in relationships—the masculine provides while the feminine receives. He compares this essential dynamic to other natural dualities like day and night, beginning and end. His compassionate yet direct approach offers women a path toward self-acceptance and authentic connection by honoring their inherent value rather than conforming to societal expectations or past relationship trauma.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Those are the three rules of business." - Dave RamseyFinancial expert Dave Ramsey pulls back the curtain on entrepreneurial reality, sharing wisdom gained from decades of business experience. With refreshing honesty, he reveals the three critical rules every aspiring business owner should know: expect your first idea to fail, avoid borrowing money that magnifies mistakes, and prepare for everything to take twice as long and cost twice as much as planned. His straightforward approach cuts through the romanticized notions of entrepreneurship, offering a roadmap that acknowledges the inevitable stumbles while providing practical guardrails.The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as Ramsey reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of building his empire—from being devastated by the first team member resignation to learning that the things he thought would "kill" his business never did.

Unfortunately, I've never seen it done that way." - Codie SanchezCodie Sanchez shatters common misconceptions about wealth creation with hard-hitting statistics: 79% of millionaires are self-made and 60% own businesses. Drawing from her intense finance career where 80-hour workweeks were standard, Codie reveals the stark reality behind financial success—one where her colleague literally collapsed from exhaustion on a New York street. This isn't just theoretical advice; it's battle-tested wisdom from someone who's experienced both the crushing demands of corporate finance and the calculated risks of business ownership.The path to financial independence isn't through passive shortcuts, but through strategic risk-taking and developing invaluable skills. Codie unpacks two powerful yet rarely discussed approaches to gaining equity in businesses without starting from scratch: buying in with modest investments to gain partial ownership or becoming so indispensable that companies can't operate without you. For those uncomfortable with risk, Codie offers a sobering reality check—business ownership might not be your path, especially when you're facing that Friday night call about running out of cash.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

No successful organization. Family was the first organization ever created in scripture before there was business, before there was church, before there was government." - Stephen ChandlerStephen Chandler brings profound insight to the often controversial topic of roles within marriage and family life. Drawing from his experience as a pastor, he presents a refreshingly practical perspective that transcends traditional gender debates. Rather than viewing work through the lens of income, Chandler reframes it as discovering the unique problem you were placed on earth to solve—a concept that resonates deeply whether you're running a business, leading a ministry, or building a family.For listeners navigating their own purpose journey, Chandler offers wisdom that challenges conventional thinking about fulfillment. He explores how both men and women need a sense of purpose beyond parenting, asserting that identifying your unique contribution creates the inner contentment many seek. Through basketball analogies and scriptural insights, Chandler unpacks how clarity in roles—whether in marriage, family, or career—creates the foundation for success in all areas of life.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
