THE ED MYLETT SHOW

Have you ever thought about how one word from you could shift someone's entire day, maybe even their life? In this episode, I break down what it truly means to become an encourager and why the world desperately needs you to step into that role. This isn't about throwing out empty praise or casual compliments. It's about choosing to infuse courage into others with honesty, specificity, and presence, and in the process, watch your own confidence and self-esteem rise. I share why encouragement is “oxygen for the soul,” how it creates ripple effects far beyond what you see, and how it becomes a seedbed for your relationships, your leadership, and your purpose. We talk about how encouragement isn't tied to someone's results but to their effort and character, and why you need to be the person who notices and speaks into the small moments others overlook. It's not just about making people feel good; it's about transferring belief and equipping people to believe they can take the next step in their climb, even when they can't see the top of the ladder themselves. If you want to stand out in a world full of critics, this episode will call you up to be different. This is your moment to decide to become the kind of person who changes lives, one conversation at a time. Key Takeaways: Why encouragement is about “infusing courage” and not just complimenting others How encouragement builds your own self-esteem while lifting others The difference between flattery and authentic encouragement How to encourage effort and character, not just results The ripple effect of becoming an encourager in your family, friendships, and business Practical examples of encouragement that build others' belief in themselves When you finish this episode, choose one person to encourage today. Watch how it changes them—and how it changes you. Max out.  

Are you living 90% of your life on repeat? What if the relentless chase for achievement is robbing you of the joy you're working so hard to find? In this conversation with Dr. Tiffany Moon, we unpack what happens when you hit all the milestones, check all the boxes, and still feel something's missing. She's a board-certified anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, mom of twins—and yes, you might know her from The Real Housewives of Dallas—but today, you'll get to see the side of her that's about living fully, not just performing perfectly. Tiffany shares how the pressure to be perfect nearly drained her of laughter and real connection, and what it took to reclaim her joy. We talk about what it's like to break free from family and cultural conditioning that says you're only loved when you're achieving, and how learning to embrace small moments—rolling on the floor with your kids, taking walks, having deep conversations—can transform how you feel about your life without sacrificing ambition. We also hit on the fear of trying something new when you're already “good” at what you do, why we say no to opportunities that could open up our lives, and how stepping out of your lane doesn't mean failure, it means growth. Tiffany shares her experience from the O.R. to the Housewives stage and the mindset shift that allowed her to stop suffocating joy in the name of control. You don't have to abandon your drive to be excellent, but you do need to learn how to find joy while you're achieving, not after. If you've been running on empty while chasing “success,” this conversation will remind you to slow down, breathe, and remember how far you've already come. Key Takeaways: Why achievement alone doesn't equal fulfillment—and what actually does The cost of saying “no” too quickly and how to open yourself to new experiences How to break free from the pressure to be perfect so you can actually live Why small moments of connection can fuel your ambition, not hinder it The power of embracing pockets of joy in the middle of your climb Let's stop running the same chapter over and over. Your life is worth living fully, not just perfectly. Let's get it.    

Are You Trading Your Health for Your Hustle? I thought I had to grind nonstop to win, but what if taking care of yourself is actually the key to achieving more? In this conversation with Michelle Bang, we unpack why “self-care” isn't just a buzzword—it's a non-negotiable if you want to live well while you climb. Michelle's journey from landing in the emergency room at the height of her success to rediscovering ancient Korean wellness practices is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks they'll get around to health “later.” Michelle breaks down why something as simple as walking after dinner can transform your energy, why fermented foods like kimchi are more than trendy side dishes, and why traditional Korean bathhouses have been quietly reducing heart attacks for generations. We talk about healthspan—not just how long you live, but how well you live—and how embracing practices like daily movement, mindful nourishment, and building community can give you back the edge you need without burning out your body. She shares how she went from ignoring her gut health and running on fumes to reclaiming her vitality by reconnecting with the wisdom she grew up with in Korea and Hong Kong. It's a reminder that no level of achievement is worth trading your health for, and taking small, consistent steps now will let you actually enjoy the life you're building. I challenge you today: Audit your well-being while you're chasing your dreams. Could taking better care of yourself actually help you climb higher? You are the one person you're going to spend your entire life with—take care of you. Key Takeaways: Why self-care is essential, not optional, for high achievers. How daily walks can improve digestion, reduce glucose spikes, and enhance creativity. The gut-brain connection and why fermented foods matter. The impact of “healthspan” versus just living longer. How traditional Korean practices like “jjimjilbang” and the cultural value of “Jeong” can be applied to your life now. If this hits you where you're at right now, share this episode with someone who needs the reminder, and let's start taking care of the one person who's with us for life: ourselves.  

 Are you addicted to “more” and missing your life? I brought Courtney Carver on not just for you, but for me too. Because if you're like me—a climber, a high achiever—you probably feel that slowing down means you're falling behind. But what if I told you that you're not broken, and you don't need “more” to be enough? In this conversation, Courtney and I get honest about what it really means to rest first, to stop chasing a finish line you can't even define, and to start living here instead of waiting for “there.”  We talk about the moments when your body starts rejecting your pace, your aggression, and your addiction to constant movement. I share what it felt like to sit by the ocean yet never look at it because I was glued to my phone, and how leaving that phone inside during a cigar break changed everything for me. Courtney shares the small, practical shifts that allowed her to simplify her life without blowing it up—and why rest isn't just sleep, but the small choices that allow you to reclaim your energy without guilt.  We also get into why so many of us—especially achievers—avoid slowing down, and how we attach our identity to “more.” Courtney's take? You're not broken, you just need to redefine what enough looks like for you. We also talk about the hidden cost of constant advice-giving and how letting go of regret can unlock the energy you're leaking into the past so you can move forward with more clarity and peace. Why rest should come first—not last—and how this fuels better performance. How to take small, practical steps to simplify without losing your edge. Why your addiction to “more” might be stealing your peace and focus. How leaving your phone behind, even for an hour, can transform your presence. Letting go of regret so you can move forward without dragging the past with you.   Listen, I know you're busy. I know you've got goals. I do too. But what if you could climb without burning out? What if you could actually enjoy the life you're working so hard to build?Key Takeaways:It's time to stop living for a “someday” that never comes. This conversation will help you create space to enjoy the life you're fighting for. Share this with someone who needs it—and as always, MAX OUT.  

Are you protecting the lead—or playing to win? In this conversation, I sit down with my brother, Brendon Burchard, and we hit on something that every single one of us wrestles with at some point: how to reignite that competitive fire when it starts to flicker. Maybe you've achieved some success—you got that promotion, built a business, or hit a financial goal—and suddenly you realize, I'm playing not to lose instead of playing to win. That's a dangerous place to be, and Brendon and I break down exactly why it happens and how to flip the switch back on. We get real about what it means to measure up—not against others, but against your own capacity. That's what separates those who keep rising from those who stall out. We talk about how greats like LeBron James keep their edge and how you can apply that same mindset. It's not about the external competition anymore—it's about expanding who you are and setting your own standard. And that, my friends, is where true fulfillment lives. Brendon and I also share the practical steps that have kept us driven—like setting up new challenges on purpose, so you're not just reacting to life but directing it. If you're coasting right now, if you've been going through the motions, this episode will remind you to swing for the fences. Key takeaways from this episode: Why success can actually zap your drive—and how to get it back The danger of playing not to lose instead of playing to win How to shift from competing against others to competing against your own potential The secret power of setting your own challenges to fuel your momentum Why surrounding yourself with the right people can reignite your ambition Let's stop settling. Let's take that big swing. Let's chase those God-sized dreams together. Max out. And hey—if you want to experience this energy in person, come join us in Napa this July or in Scottsdale this fall.

Are you holding yourself back from leading at your highest level? In this incredible conversation, I sit down with my good friend Craig Groeschel—someone I admire deeply, not just for what he's accomplished, but for the man he is at his core. We get real about leadership—what it means to empower others, to listen, to ask better questions, and to build a culture that thrives whether you're in the room or not. Craig shares candidly about the lessons he's learned over nearly 30 years leading one of the largest churches in the country and launching the YouVersion Bible App that's impacted millions.One of the things that really hit home in this episode is how Craig talks about the shift from thinking leadership is about you to realizing it's about what happens when you're not there. We break down how great leaders give authority, not just tasks, and how that's the key to developing other leaders rather than creating followers. And yes, we go into the hard stuff—the criticism, the self-doubt, the moments where you feel like playing it safe. Craig doesn't shy away from those moments, and neither do I in this conversation.  We also talk about something that's been huge for me this year—surrender. Craig shares what it really means to give up control where it's not ours to begin with, and why trusting God with the things we can't shape frees us to lead with greater courage and faith. This episode isn't about theory—it's about real tools you can put into practice starting today.   How to shift from controlling to empowering so you can build leaders, not just followers. Why your effectiveness as a leader is measured by what happens when you're absent, not present. The habits that anchor Craig's leadership and how to create your own keystone habits. A fresh approach to giving and receiving feedback that builds trust and fuels growth. The difference between showing love and showing belief—and why your team (and family) needs both. How to handle self-doubt and stop playing it safe in your vision and leadership. What true surrender looks like in your leadership and life.   Here's what you'll take away from this episode:If this conversation moves you the way it did me, do yourself a favor—share it, take action on it, and let it change the way you lead. Max out your life, my friends!  

Are you letting indecision rob you of your destiny? In this episode, I'm getting real about something every one of us faces—but few of us feel truly prepared for: making difficult decisions. I walk you through the exact strategies that have helped me choose clarity over chaos in my life, even when the stakes were high and the path ahead was uncertain. Whether you're wrestling with a career move, a relationship choice, or any other major crossroad, this conversation will help you stop hesitating and start calling your shots. I share personal stories—like the time I chose to stay in California for my family's well-being, sacrificing millions financially, and later, why I made the move to Florida when life's conditions shifted. These weren't easy calls, but they taught me that not choosing is a choice in itself—one that can quietly steal your future. You'll hear how I separate emotion from logic, why stillness is key, and how to stop letting fear, ego, or the opinions of others dictate your path. This episode is all about owning your choices, even when you're unsure of the outcome. I give you practical tools like the “10-10-10” rule, values-based decision making, and the importance of internal alignment over external pressure. And if you're struggling right now, let me remind you: everything's going to be okay. Trust yourself, trust in God's guidance, and know that your destiny is shaped by the decisions you make today. Key takeaways from this episode: Why clarity comes from action, not endless thinking How to separate emotion from true inner guidance when making decisions The importance of aligning choices with your highest values, not ego or external validation Why it's okay—and smart—to change your mind as new information arises How to live with your decisions, learn from them, and move forward with confidence If this resonates with you, I ask just one thing: share this episode. Help someone else take that next step toward the life they deserve.  

How Do You Turn Tragedy Into Triumph?In this unforgettable conversation, I sit down with Elizabeth Smart—a woman whose strength and grace have inspired millions. Elizabeth was kidnapped at knifepoint from her home at just 14 years old and endured nine months of unspeakable abuse. But what truly amazes me isn't just her survival—it's the extraordinary life she's built in the aftermath. In this episode, Elizabeth shares what it means to reclaim your life, how she's become a fierce protector of others, and the mindset that helped her move forward instead of staying trapped by trauma. Elizabeth opens up about those terrifying moments of captivity and the choice she made every day: don't give up. She shares what it took to move past fear and anger—not to excuse what was done to her—but to love herself enough to not let that pain define her life. We talk about forgiveness, and she explains it in a way that will stop you in your tracks: “Forgiveness is the greatest form of self-love because it allows you to leave the anger behind and move forward.” We also dive into how trauma leaves a mark—not just on your heart, but on your brain. Elizabeth reveals how she's worked to take her power back, from building a loving marriage to creating the Elizabeth Smart Foundation and Smart Defense, where women (and men) learn that they are stronger than they ever imagined. I loved how she said, “You are so powerful. You are much stronger than you think you are.” This episode isn't just about Elizabeth's story—it's about all of us. Whether you've faced your own trauma, or you're standing with someone who has, there's so much here about resilience, purpose, and hope. Elizabeth's courage will change the way you see your own challenges—and your ability to rise above them. Key takeaways from this episode: The real meaning of forgiveness and why it's a gift you give yourself. How to reclaim your power when trauma makes you feel powerless. Why open communication and unconditional love are the most important things you can offer your children. The importance of learning self-defense not just for protection, but for confidence. How to be the kind of person who says, “I believe you. I'm here for you,” when someone shares their pain. Let this conversation remind you that no matter what you've been through, your future can be brighter than your past. Share this episode with someone who needs it. Let's make a difference together.

Are You Thinking Your Own Thoughts… Or Someone Else's? Let me ask you something—have you ever stopped to wonder if the thoughts you're thinking are actually yours? In this conversation, I sat down with Rebecca Lemov, a Harvard professor and author of The Instability of Truth, and what unfolded was a real eye-opener. We didn't just scratch the surface—we went into the guts of how we get conditioned to believe things about the world… and about ourselves… without even realizing it. Rebecca laid out something that really hit me: brainwashing doesn't start with someone else taking control of your mind—it begins when you stop asking questions. That moment when you stop challenging your beliefs, when you're scrolling, liking, agreeing without even knowing why—that's where it starts. She walked me through a chilling example: a Facebook study where they manipulated nearly 700,000 users' moods without their knowledge. That's real. That happened. And if that doesn't wake you up, I don't know what will. We also got personal. I shared how trauma—whether from rejection, heartbreak, or failure—can create space for a mind virus to take root. That voice in your head saying, “You're not good enough,” “You'll never succeed,”—that's not truth. That's programming. And unless you confront it, question it, and replace it, it'll trap you in a version of your life that's far smaller than what you were made for. Rebecca made it clear: being educated or intelligent doesn't make you immune—it might even make you more vulnerable. This episode isn't about conspiracy theories or pointing fingers—it's about ownership. About reclaiming your identity, your voice, your individuality. Don't go through life unknowingly living in someone else's version of who you're supposed to be. Don't meet God at the end and realize you lived someone else's life because you never questioned your own thoughts. You want to change your life? Start by challenging what you assume to be true. Start asking better questions. Key Takeaways: Brainwashing often starts from within—when you stop questioning your own thoughts. Trauma can open the door for limiting beliefs to become your internal truth. Social media algorithms are designed to manipulate your mood and feed confirmation bias. There are 8 classic signs of brainwashing, but the key one? Control over your environment. Intelligence doesn't protect you from mind control—it can deepen the illusion. Challenge your assumptions, and you can change your entire life trajectory. Let this be your wake-up call. You don't have to be part of a group to have value. You're not your past. You're not your trauma. You're an individual—and your thoughts matter.  

What if the secret to longevity isn't luck—but how you show up? In this episode, I sit down with someone I've been wanting to interview for a long time—actor and now wellness entrepreneur, Josh Duhamel. You've seen him in everything from Transformers to Las Vegas to his latest hit Ransom Canyon. But this conversation goes beyond the screen. It's about the truth behind staying relevant, thriving in your 40s and 50s, and what it really means to lead—whether that's in your home, on set, or in your company. Josh opens up about the moments of self-doubt early in his career, the grind he still embraces, and how testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) helped him regain not just his energy, but his edge. We got real about aging, fatherhood, emotional strength, and the quiet confidence that comes from people believing in you—not just loving you. There's a big difference between the two. And whether you're leading a team or raising a family, that distinction can change everything. We also talk about masculinity in today's world—the evolving definition of what it means to be a man, and how important it is to stay grounded in spiritual connection. Josh talked about his circle of men who hold space for honest, vulnerable conversation and how that's shaped the way he leads and lives. He's not afraid to let people know he needs them, and that simple truth might just be the unlock for building loyalty, excellence, and connection in your team. This episode isn't just about fame or fitness—it's about the values that sustain you: humility, work ethic, emotional intelligence, and the courage to evolve. Josh proves that longevity in any field is earned through consistency, intention, and the willingness to stay coachable—even when you've “made it.” Key Takeaways: Why being emotionally accessible is a strength, not a weakness How testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) helped Josh reclaim his drive The importance of belief—how it's more powerful than love in leadership Creating a work environment where everyone feels needed and valued Josh's definition of masculinity and the role spiritual connection plays in his life How leaders like Steve Jobs and Mark Wahlberg modeled greatness through humility and discipline Don't just listen—share this one with someone who needs to remember what showing up with purpose really looks like. MAX OUT.  

What if the pain you're facing right now is just preparing you to meet the strongest, most fulfilled version of yourself? In this special episode re-release, I'm reminding you of one thing: you were born to do something great with your life. Not just in big, visible ways—but in the quiet, meaningful moments that the world doesn't always see. If you're in the middle of tough times, I want you to hear this—everything you're going through is temporary. And on the other side of that struggle? That's where your “other self” is waiting. In this episode, I talk straight with you about how your thoughts shape your emotions, and how your emotions shape your reality. I share a lesson from Think and Grow Rich that helped me stop quitting and start innovating when life got hard. You'll hear what it means to change your “emotional home,” and why peace, not chaos, is the fuel for a life of joy and meaning. Plus, I break down the four ways you can show up in 20 years—and challenge you to choose the version of yourself who becomes the one that changes everything. This isn't just motivation—it's a call to action. You're not invisible. You're not a victim. You're the one. Take the floaties off. Jump into the deep end of your life. Key Takeaways: Why all pain is temporary—and how to outlast it How to recognize and reset your emotional home The six basic fears that keep most people stuck Why your dreams are closer than you think The four identities you'll choose from in life—and how to become the one How to move from invisible to hero to servant leader You were born for greatness. Let this episode be the reminder you needed. Now, jump in. Max out.

Are You Speaking to Their Greatness or Their Deficiencies? This conversation challenged me in the best way—and I think it will challenge you too. I sat down with relationship coaches Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman, and we didn't hold back. We got into the real, unfiltered truth about what makes a relationship thrive and what quietly breaks it down over time. And I'll be honest—I learned a lot about myself in this one. We talked about why most couples argue the same way every time, how we start talking to our partner's flaws instead of their potential, and how easy it is to stop being curious about the person we love the most. That hit me hard. Because curiosity? It's not just a phase when you're dating—it's a choice. When you stay curious, people become more interesting. And when you stop being interested, they stop showing you who they really are. One of the most important takeaways: the “5 Rs” the Freemans teach—Reflect, Responsibility, Reconnect, Remind, Reconcile. It's a practical framework that helps couples come back from conflict stronger. But what stood out even more was this mindset they kept coming back to: we're on the same team. That phrase alone has the power to stop an argument in its tracks and realign a relationship that feels like it's drifting apart. This episode is packed with real tools, honest moments, and a whole lot of heart. If you're in a relationship—new or decades deep—there's something here for you. You're either training your partner that this is a safe space to share… or you're teaching them to keep it all inside. That's the choice. And I want you to choose connection. Key Takeaways: The most damaging part of conflict isn't the argument—it's the lack of repair after. Learn the 5 Rs to recover and reconnect after a disagreement. “Speaking to your partner's greatness” builds them up and strengthens your bond. Curiosity is the secret to keeping relationships alive and engaging. One person can spark change, but both have to sustain it. You don't have to end the relationship to end the version of it that isn't working. Let this episode be the spark. Listen with your partner. Talk about it. And remember—you're on the same team.  

Are your goals driving you—or draining you? In this month's sit-down with my brother Brendon Burchard, we break open something rarely talked about but absolutely critical if you're chasing success: the difference between being committed to your goals and being attached to them. We're not here to dish out motivational fluff—this is a raw conversation about mastering presence, building true rhythm in your life, and not letting your need for results rob you of your ability to perform at your best. Brendon and I talk about how most people get lost in the micro—obsessing over metrics, routines, and outcomes—while completely missing the bigger picture. Goals aren't the problem; attachment is. I share the metaphor of a pro golfer who misses an easy putt—not because he lacks skill, but because he's mentally fast-forwarding to what it means if he makes or misses. And in life, just like on the course, the moment you get needy, you drop your frequency. We also dive into what I've learned through experience and faith—how the real shift came when I started surrendering the harvest to God. Your job is to plant the seeds, do the work, show up—but the outcome? That's not yours to control. I want you to think about this: who are you becoming? Because your state of being will take you further than any checklist or protocol ever will. Brendon and I just wrapped an unforgettable Ultra VIP event in Austin, where we went deep with a small group of high achievers on topics like these. If you're ready to experience this level of connection and transformation in person, check out Ultra.VIP for more details. Key Takeaways: Why presence matters more than pressure in moments of execution The difference between being needy for a goal and committed to a vision How “working the rhythm” can outperform chasing the result Why surrendering the outcome increases your ability to perform The identity shift from achiever to warrior—and how it changes everything What it really means to move in a direction instead of chasing random goals If this hits home for you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Max out.  

What if anxiety wasn't the enemy—but the invitation?In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Humble The Poet, and we have a real, raw conversation about one of the most common challenges we all face—anxiety. But we don't treat it like a monster hiding in the closet. Instead, we explore it for what it really is: a signal, not a sentence. Humble brings a refreshing, honest lens to what it means to feel anxious in today's world. He says anxiety isn't about danger—it's about uncertainty. It's not that something's wrong with you. It's that you've been conditioned to believe you can't handle life's hard moments. But guess what? You can. “Anxiety is when your intelligence grows faster than your courage,” he says. That line hit me. We're overthinking ourselves into paralysis, while our bodies are screaming for action, for movement, for breath. We also dig into how society—especially social media—is tricking us into thinking we're not enough. That we're missing out. That our value is tied to our achievements. But your worth? It's not on the other side of likes, lists, or trophies. And when Humble said, “The people that matter most don't care about your achievements,” I thought of my mom, my kids, and how true that really is. You're not broken. You don't need to avoid hard things. In fact, you get stronger by facing them—again and again. The goal isn't to be fearless. The goal is to shorten the time between when fear shows up and when you respond with clarity and grace. That's equanimity. That's emotional fitness. That's the real edge. Key Takeaways:• Why anxiety is not the enemy—it's the alarm pointing to unaddressed challenges.• The difference between reacting and responding—and how to close that gap.• How social media fuels our anxiety and why stepping away might be the best move.• The myth of being “too needy” and the truth about our need for community.• How envy reveals what you truly value—and what to do with that insight.• Why your worth isn't tied to your most recent achievement.This episode isn't just for those battling anxiety—it's for anyone who's ever questioned their worth, struggled with overthinking, or felt alone. You're not. And this conversation will remind you of that. Let's keep growing together. Max out.

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.

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.
