The Secret To Success with CJ, Karl, Jemal & Eric Thomas

This week on the Secret to Success Podcast, the crew dives into a raw, awkward, but absolutely necessary conversation: what happens when your partner stops trying? One listener asks, “Do I tell my wife she never dresses up anymore… or stay quiet to keep the peace?” CJ, ET, Karl, and Jemal open up the uncomfortable truth about relationship expectations, unmet needs, and why most couples are too scared to say what they really want. From misaligned visions to silent resentment, they break down why failing to communicate can slowly destroy even the best marriages. If you're married, dating, or want a healthy relationship, this episode will challenge you hard and give you real steps to fix things — before you lose what you've built.

You ever wonder why your healthy marriage still feels heavy? In this episode, the guys get real about the weight of being the “strong couple” in your circle — the ones everyone runs to when their relationship is falling apart. But what if constantly being surrounded by broken marriages is secretly impacting your own? From secondhand smoke to secondhand divorce, CJ, ET, Karl, and Jemal unpack why healthy couples need spaces to recharge, reset, and be celebrated — not just drained. They introduce a bold new vision: Forever Forward Marriage — an exclusive retreat for healthy marriages only. ▶️ Why healthy marriages need protection ▶️ How Camille nursed Jemal through two surgeries — twice ▶️ The danger of dimming your light for broken couples ▶️ Creating a marriage Olympics — the All-Star Game for couples in bliss ▶️ What real investment in your spouse actually looks like This isn't a marriage conference for broken people — it's a celebration for couples in bliss.

You've got big dreams. You've got ambition. So why does your life still feel off? In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, ET, CJ, Jemal, and Karl break down a truth most people avoid: you're not certified for the life you keep asking for. We don't mean a degree or a license — we're talking about the inner work, the healing, the consistency, and the mastery that separates dreamers from doers. If your life feels unstable, your vision unclear, or your progress slow… this episode will show you why — and what to do next. Because the dream ain't enough.

Most people don't realize their real stress isn't the layoff, the diagnosis, or the bad news — it's the fact that everything in their life is depending on one source. One income. One plan. One backup. And when that one thing fails? Everything starts crashing. In this episode, the guys break down why relying on one stream of income is the fastest route to burnout — and what it looks like to actually prepare for a storm before it comes. If you've ever felt like your world was one unexpected bill away from collapse… this one's for you. You don't have to live in fear. But you do have to prepare.

CJ shares the hilarious and inspiring moment Eric Thomas made him “President” of a company that didn't even exist yet — with nothing but a vintage t-shirt and a vision. From that Embassy Suites meeting to global impact, the guys break down what it means to believe before you see results. Plus: Maul's indoor pool story, food temperature debates, retro checks, and why controlling your environment is key to success. This one's equal parts laughter, legacy, and life lessons.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Secret to Success podcast, we're diving deep into the mindset shift that separates the weak from the unstoppable. If you've ever felt stuck, angry, or held back by your past, this is the episode that will force you to take a hard look in the mirror and make a choice: keep making excuses or use your pain as fuel. ET shares powerful, real-life stories—including how he forgave his father, how love is the ultimate weapon, and why true strength isn't about never struggling but about rising up when life knocks you down. We also discuss the difference between people who talk about success and those who become successful—and why your excuses won't cut it anymore. Whether you're facing struggles in relationships, business, or life itself, this episode will challenge you to stop playing victim and start becoming the version of yourself that refuses to lose.
