Podcasts about The Great One

Success should not require sacrificing your energy, well-being, or joy. Speaker, coach, business mentor, sound healing practitioner, and three-time author Melinda Cohan joins Dr. Dan to redefine what achievement can look and feel like. After building The Coaches Console into a multimillion-dollar company, Melinda realized that sustainable success requires more than strategy, productivity, and constant action… it begins with cultivating the person doing the work. Melinda shares the exact moment she realized she had created a beautiful life but had forgotten to include herself in it. She and Dr. Dan explore how high performers can recognize the early signs of burnout, release fear-driven perfectionism, protect their joy, and move from forcing outcomes to creating from a grounded state of being. The conversation also includes the often-overlooked practices of percolating, celebrating, and rejuvenating. She explains why self-care is not a reward for finishing the work but a strategic advantage that allows leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators to perform at their highest level without running themselves into the ground. Melinda and Dr. Dan also discuss the four levels of consciousness, the difference between perfectionism and excellence, sound healing, aligned action, and the importance of allowing creativity and possibility to move through us. How Melinda realized she had forgotten to paint herself into the picture of her life Why losing joy can be an early warning sign of burnout The difference between fear-driven perfectionism and striving for excellence How to replace the fear of failure with a “win or learn” mindset Why presence can be more powerful than performance The four levels of consciousness: “to me,” “by me,” “through me,” and “as me” Melinda's Create Without Burnout Cycle Why percolation, celebration, and rejuvenation improve creative output How self-care becomes a strategic advantage for high performers The relationship between our inner world and our external results How sound healing can create space for reflection, creativity, and personal transformation Why sustainable success does not require lowering your expectations For more information visit MelindaCohan.com and follow @melinda_cohan on Instagram.

British figurative sculptor, world champion longbow archer, and deep thinker Ian Edwards joins Dr. Dan on this latest episode about presence, self-awareness, creativity, dyslexia, purpose, and what it means to live a fulfilled life. Ian shares his extraordinary journey from leaving school at 16 with no formal qualifications and severe dyslexia to becoming an internationally collected sculptor and world-class archer. Along the way, he reflects on the mentors, inner awakenings, and practices that helped him understand the difference between achievement and fulfillment. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Ian explore neurodiversity, twice-exceptionality, the pressure to seek validation, and the importance of being true to yourself. Ian's story is a reminder that our worth is not defined by grades, titles, outcomes, or what the world measures. True growth begins when we pause, listen inward, and reconnect with who we really are. Listeners will gain insight into how presence can transform performance, creativity, parenting, leadership, and daily life. Ian also offers simple, practical ways to create space between ourselves and our thoughts, including breath awareness, honest self-reflection, and truly listening to others. This conversation is for anyone seeking more clarity, purpose, joy, authenticity, and connection in their life. In this episode: Ian's experience growing up with severe dyslexia and a deep inner knowing The gifts and challenges of twice-exceptionality and neurodiversity Why self-worth cannot come from achievement or external validation How creativity became a pathway to presence and flow Ian's apprenticeship with Ray and the “wisdom school” that shaped his life The connection between art, archery, performance, and presence Why fulfillment comes from being true to yourself How parents and leaders can meet others where they are Simple practices for awareness, reflection, and calming the self-seeking mind For more information visit www.ianedwardssculptor.com and follow @sculptorianedwards on Instagram.

In this latest episode, Dr. Dan sits down with Jay Abbasi, a keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, coach, and host of the podcast Unstuck. In 2014, the sudden loss of Jay's father stopped him cold. He was successful on paper, climbing the ranks at Tesla and running on autopilot, and that loss became the wake-up call that moved him toward a life built around purpose, presence, and service instead of just achievement. Jay and Dr. Dan get into what it actually takes to change an old pattern: the self-awareness to notice it, and the courage to do something different. They talk about how mindfulness helps you respond to life instead of reacting to it, why our brains can build new pathways at any age, and how real change usually starts with catching the thoughts and stories running quietly in the background. They also dig into manifestation, mindset, and our attachment to outcomes, including the gap between chasing success and living with intention. Jay shares the story behind his TEDx talk, the disappointment along the way that tested his own resilience, and the practice he keeps coming back to: we don't always get to choose what happens, but we can choose how we relate to it. It's an honest conversation about the fact that purpose isn't only found in what we accomplish. It's found in how present we are, how we treat people, and the small choices we make every day. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Jay talk about: The loss that shifted the direction of Jay's life Waking up from autopilot and choosing to live on purpose How grief can open the door to growth Responding to life instead of reacting to it Why attachment to outcomes can quietly lead to burnout How focus and visualization actually work in the brain Building new habits and new mental pathways The power of the story you tell yourself Living with purpose without losing presence For more information visit jayabbasi.me and follow @jayabbasi_ on Instagram.

Achievement, intelligence, and success are often celebrated as the ultimate markers of a life well-lived. But what happens when reaching every milestone still leaves you feeling empty, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself? In this episode, Dr. Dan sits down with author, business executive, and former gifted child Eric Jessen to explore the hidden challenges that can accompany early success.  Drawing from his own life experiences and the insights behind his books The Curse of Early Success and Formerly Gifted, Eric shares how achievement became identity, why perfectionism can become a trap, and what it takes to build a healthier relationship with success, failure, and self-worth. Together, they discuss giftedness, resilience, vulnerability, contentment, and the courage required to step off the treadmill of constant achievement. This episode is an invitation for anyone who has ever felt defined by performance, burdened by expectations, or wondered why success alone wasn't enough. In this episode: How gifted children often develop identities rooted in achievement Why success can become both a blessing and a burden The relationship between perfectionism, fear of failure, and self-worth How vulnerability creates deeper connection and personal growth The difference between accomplishment and fulfillment Why contentment may be a more meaningful goal than constant success Practical ways to redefine identity beyond performance and achievement Key Takeaways Success is a powerful teacher, but it can also create limiting beliefs about who we are. Achievement becomes exhausting when it becomes the foundation of identity. Failure is information—not a verdict on your worth. Emotional intelligence and vulnerability are critical skills for meaningful relationships and leadership. True fulfillment comes from embracing who you are, not constantly proving what you can do.

Leadership isn't about looking strong… it's about becoming who you're meant to be. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with executive leadership coach, speaker, and founder of My Impossible, Jeff Harmon, to explore a remarkable journey of resilience, vulnerability, and transformation.  After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition, Jeff found himself facing challenges that would ultimately lead him to one of the world's most ambitious adventures: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair. But this conversation goes far beyond the mountain. Jeff shares how entrepreneurship, disability, leadership, and faith shaped his understanding of resilience, not as performance or toughness, but as a daily choice rooted in gratitude, authenticity, and community.  Together, Jeff and Dr. Dan explore what happens when pressure reveals who we really are, why vulnerability is one of the greatest leadership strengths, and how our biggest breakthroughs often come after the climb is over. This episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges are often invitations to grow, connect, and become more fully ourselves. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why resilience is a choice, not a personality trait How adversity can become a catalyst for personal growth The difference between performing leadership and embodying leadership Why vulnerability builds trust and influence The power of community when facing life's biggest challenges What Jeff learned from leading a Mount Kilimanjaro expedition How to develop true inner authority and authentic confidence Why the lessons from your "mountain" often come after the experience ends For more information visit myimpossible.org.

What separates an okay herbalist from a truly great one? It isn't memorizing what each plant is "good for." It's learning to see the whole person and match the right plant to the right pattern. In this episode, Sajah, founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, breaks down the difference between vitalist and allopathic herbalism, why a fever is intelligence and not a malfunction, and why two herbs that are both "good for the lungs" can have completely opposite effects depending on the energetics. This is an encore conversation, originally aired in January 2021, and everything Sajah Popham teaches about vitalism is just as true today. You'll hear a few references to that moment in the world, but the medicine underneath is timeless. For one week only, when you enroll in Sajah's Vitalist Herbal Practitioner Program through my link, you'll also receive my $887 bonus bundle free: my entire Feed Your Wild Gut program plus two months inside Bloom Premium. The clinical, the plant, and the intuitive, all in one place. Enrollment closes Friday, June 26. Link below.

What if the pressure to be “good” is making women physically sick? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Dan sits down with award-winning filmmaker, entrepreneur, and author Sara Hirsh Bordo to explore the powerful connection between autoimmune disease, trauma, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment as well as to discuss Sara's powerful new book Autoimmunity and the Good Girls: How Permission to Put Ourselves First Has the Power to Keep Us Well. After being diagnosed with multiple serious health conditions—including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, melanoma, tumors, Epstein-Barr, mold poisoning, and heavy metal toxicity—Sara began asking a life-changing question: What if years of self-betrayal were making her body turn against itself? Through deeply personal storytelling, groundbreaking research, and profound insight, Sara shares how decades of prioritizing others over herself created patterns that impacted both her emotional and physical well-being. Together, she and Dr. Dan unpack the “good girl” conditioning so many women experience, the hidden cost of chronic self-sacrifice, and how reclaiming authenticity may be one of the most important healing journeys of all. This conversation is compassionate, courageous, and transformative—for women, men, families, leaders, and anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and healing.

In this deeply powerful conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with bestselling author Blake D. Bauer, author of You Were Not Born to Suffer: Overcome Fear, Insecurity and Depression and Love Yourself Back to Happiness, Confidence and Peace, to explore how adversity can become a source of transformation. Dr. Dan and Blake explore why pain isn't punishment and how suffering points us toward healing, purpose, and freedom. Blake shares his personal journey through addiction, trauma, shame, and emotional pain—and how hitting rock bottom at just 18 years old forced him to choose between healing or self-destruction. That decision led him on a global journey of self-discovery that transformed his life and now helps thousands of others do the same. Together, Dr. Dan and Blake unpack the butterfly metaphor for growth, why suffering can serve a purpose, how childhood wounds shape adult behavior, and why unconditional self-love may be one of the most important skills we can develop. They also explore how self-betrayal shows up in everyday life, why many people struggle to listen to their bodies, and how healing begins when we stop waiting to be rescued and start permitting ourselves to heal. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is possible—and freedom may be closer than you think. For more information, visit www.unconditional-selflove.com and on Instagram @blakedbauer.

Dr. Dan sits down with Melissa Doman, Organizational Psychologist, former mental health therapist, founder of The Workplace Mental Health Method™ and the author of Cornered Office: Why We Need To Talk About Leadership Mental Health to discuss one of the biggest blind spots in modern leadership: mental health. They explore all things leadership and apply a fresh take: we must acknowledge the truth that leaders are human, too. Dr. Dan and Melissa explore the hidden pressures leaders face, the myths we continue to believe, and why ignoring mental health at the top impacts everyone. Melissa brings both clinical insight and real-world experience to break down why vulnerability, self-awareness, and emotional honesty are not weaknesses—but essential leadership skills. This episode dives into the nuance of mental health in the workplace, the importance of understanding neurodiversity, and how leaders and organizations can begin to create cultures where people can actually thrive.   If you're a leader, aspiring leader, or simply someone committed to growth and authenticity, this conversation will challenge your mindset and inspire you to think differently about what it truly means to lead.

Work with Us!If you've ever felt stuck in your relationship…frustrated, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward—This episode will shift the way you see everything.In this powerful conversation, we sit down with psychologist and coach Dr. Dan Peters to explore a different approach to growth, connection, and healing—one that starts within.Because what if the problem isn't just your partner?What if the struggle you're facing is actually an invitation…to understand yourself more deeply, access your full potential, and create meaningful change from the inside out?We talk about:Why relationship conflict is often a mirror for personal growthHow to shift from focusing on your partner → to understanding yourselfThe role of awareness in breaking destructive patternsWhy growth almost always comes from difficulty—not comfortHow to rebuild connection after disconnection or betrayalThe importance of feeling seen, safe, and accepted in healingMoving from performance → presence in your life and relationshipsOne of the most powerful takeaways:

We are all waiting for permission that is never going to come. We cling to the illusion of a safe life, pretending that incremental improvements are the same thing as actual growth. Talia Lazarus didn't plan on changing her life; the universe intervened in the form of a devastating bus accident. In the agonizing space of her recovery, she confronted a profound truth: she was living a script written by someone else. So, she burned it down. This episode is about the radical shift from accepting what is, to choosing what could be. It explores the "doorstep mile"—the immense, invisible friction of taking the first step toward true purpose. You don't need a catastrophe to change your posture in the world. You just need to stop looking in the rear-view mirror and realize that your constraints are entirely invented. How to identify the difference between real growth and the illusion of progress. The art of embracing the "doorstep mile" to finally ship your true work. Why surrendering your past is the only way to build a meaningful future. Listen to this conversation and discover how to stop waiting, step over the threshold, and choose a great life today. SPONSORS

Dr. Dan sits down with TEDx speaker Jinesha Jain to discuss success and what happens when our achievement outpaces our alignment. From navigating the pressures of the immigrant experience to redefining ambition through self-awareness, Jinesha shares how the single question “Are you happy?” sparked a profound shift in her life – and can do the same for us. On this episode, Dr. Dan and Jinesha unpack the hidden cost of constant productivity, the illusion of “falling behind,” and the courage it takes to pause in a world that rewards speed. They also discuss the transformative practice of intentional breathing, intentional presence, and Jinesha's TEDx Talk “The Power of Stillness: How One Breath Can Break Burnout.”  Today's episode is a reminder that true growth isn't about doing more—it's about becoming more aligned with who you are every day.

Burnout isn't the end, it's the beginning – a wake-up call. Drawing from her personal journey through burnout and decades of experience as a physician, engineer, and leadership expert, Neha shares how our bodies are constantly communicating with us and how ignoring those signals leads to deeper imbalance.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thetwelfthhouse.substack.comThere's a 1971 academic article that I've been thinking about a LOT lately. It's called “That's Interesting!” It's by a sociologist named Murray Davis, and it is technically about how to develop academic theories that people actually give a s**t about — ideas that are not just important, but are also interesting. I read it as part of my PhD research, but while I was I kept thinking: this is copywriting. This is pitching. This is why some content makes you stop scrolling and some doesn't. This is MARKETING, B***H. This is how to stress-test any idea for sticky-ness. This is how to come up with ideas that make you a thought leader.Davis's central argument is that a theory becomes important not because it's true, but because it's interesting. Truth has almost nothing to do with influence. (See: the entire internet.) What makes an idea sticky is that it disturbs something the audience already assumed. It catches them mid-expectation and redirects them somewhere they didn't see coming.Quick aside for holographic repatterning healer rec:

Dr. Dan speaks to Nancy Howard Cobb about the 25th anniversary edition of her paradigm shifting book about grief and human connection In Lieu of Flowers: A Conversation for the Living. Nancy's book was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and over the years has helped many people deal with mourning, grief, death and dying – from hospices, medical schools, bookstores, and conferences to families dealing with grief privately at home. As part of Make It a Great One's two episode grief series, Dr. Dan and Nancy explore grief not as an ending, but as a doorway to connection, authenticity, and growth. They demonstrate that grief is not something to fix but instead it is something to feel, understand, and ultimately integrate into a meaningful life. Nancy brings decades of experience speaking about death, loss, and the human condition—and shares how telling the truth, even when it's uncomfortable, can be one of the most liberating and healing acts we can take. This episode challenges the way we think about grief, inviting us to move away from avoidance and toward courage, compassion, and deeper self-awareness. From personal loss to collective grief, this conversation is a reminder that we are all connected and that through that connection we can find resilience and meaning.

Andy and Randy get in to the sweet 16

Dr. Dan sits down with ophthalmic surgeon and internationally bestselling author Dr. Durga Larkin to explore a powerful topic that affects us all: aging. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Durga reframes aging not as a period of decline, but as a time of expansion. Together, Dr. Dan and Dr. Durga examine why some of our most meaningful and fulfilling years may still lie ahead. Drawing from her book Timeless Vision: Empowered Aging Redefined, Dr. Durga shares insights that invite us to reconsider what it truly means to grow older—with purpose, courage, and greater self-awareness. Dr. Durga shares how a life-altering injury forced her to confront her own identity and resilience. When she fractured her dominant surgical arm, she was faced with a profound question: Who am I if I can't do the thing that has defined me for decades? This experience transformed Dr. Durga, and she emerged with clarity, empowerment, and an expanded vision for her next chapter.  Today's episode explores the scarcity vs. abundance mindset, the power of vision and visualization, and why it's never too late to expand, evolve, and become who you're meant to be personally and professionally. Dr. Durga's awakening is one we can all experience. Her journey and her book prove we can live vibrantly, intentionally, and with deep authenticity at any age – and especially as we age.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, there is an ongoing effort to hijack the conservative movement and MAGA, which is rooted in the Tea Party and constitutional conservatism. We reject any defense of the Third Reich, attacks on Christians, Jews, or Israel, and sabotage from within. True patriots focus on real threats like illegal immigration, Islamism, economic socialism, ideological Marxism, and figures from George Soros to the woke Reich neo-fascists. These infiltrators pretend to seek debate but aim to control and destroy the movement, much like Marxists and Islamists. President Trump independently learned about this ongoing internal battle within the conservative movement and MAGA and posted a supportive message to Mark Levin on Truth Social. The post reaffirms MAGA's commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and achieving peace through strength and dismisses critics like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. Trump threw down the gauntlet against neo-fascists, anti-Semitism, Nazism, and character assassination. Also, Joy Reid said women in Iran have it better than in America. She's free to leave and join Carlson in Qatar or, she might enjoy the life of a woman in Iran. And do the so-called women's groups even exist anymore? The past few years have seen the most shocking abuse of women by Hamas and Iran and mostly crickets. Later, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute Roger Zakheim calls in and explains that Trump is doing the right thing in Iran. The effort is going well and the United States and its military are winning, though mainstream media fails to report this positively. Zakheim believes President Reagan would thank Trump for finishing the war against Iran, which began its acts of terrorism in the Persian Gulf during Reagan's presidency.

Dr. Dan reconnects with his very first podcast guest(!) veteran educator and special education advocate Larry Davis to explore what it truly means to teach—and lead—in today's world. Drawing from more than four decades in education across 11 school districts, Larry shares insights from his new book, The Happy Camper Classroom, and reframes teaching as one of the most demanding leadership roles in our society. Today's educators are not simply delivering curriculum—they are first responders, social workers, emotional anchors, and architects of belonging. At the heart of this episode is a powerful truth: learning cannot happen without safety, connection, and regulation. Larry explains why compliance is no longer the glue that holds classrooms together—and what must replace it. Through resilience, self-awareness, compassion, and authentic connection, teachers can create environments where students feel safe, valued, and empowered. This conversation extends beyond education and is for every age and every stage of life. Dr. Dan and Larry's discussion about leadership, personal growth, and the courage to look inward will inspire and enlighten listeners.  When we shift from a reactive mindset to a resilient one we can embrace discomfort as a pathway to growth.  For more information please visit www.thehappycamperclassroom.com and www.specialeducationadvocacy.org.  Contact Larry ldavissped at gmail dot com.

Dr. Dan sits down with Cody Cook-Parrott, author of The Practice of Attention: Cultivating Presence in a Distracted World, to explore what happens when we reclaim our focus from technology, perfectionism, and fear. Drawing from nearly 15 years of sobriety, lived experience with ADHD, creative practice, and stepping away from social media, Cody shares how attention is not just about productivity — it's about presence, integrity, and self-trust.  An artist, writer, teacher, and dancer, Cody teaches us attention is the currency of our lives  – and that most of us are spending it without realizing it. Dr. Dan and Cody urge listeners to remember that attention shapes not just what we see but who we become. They challenge us to reclaim our time and focus so life feels like it belongs to us again. Cody Cook-Parrott is the author of six books, including the new The Practice of Attention. For more information visit www.codycookparrott.com.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with leadership strategist, researcher, and executive coach and author Dr. Debra Clary to explore why curiosity may be the most overlooked—and most essential—leadership skill of our time. Deb shares her remarkable journey from driving a Frito-Lay delivery truck after earning her MBA to advising Fortune 500 executives and the publication of her book The Curiosity Curve: A Leader's Guide to Growth and Transformation Through Bold Question. Along the way, she reveals how resilience, humility, and bold questions shaped her leadership philosophy and helped spark transformational change inside some of the world's most iconic organizations. Together, Dr. Dan and Debra explore why certainty can hinder growth, how curiosity fuels engagement and performance, and why fear and curiosity cannot coexist in the brain. They explore the role curiosity plays not just in leadership and business, but in parenting, relationships, creativity, and human connection. This episode is a compelling reminder that asking better questions—without an agenda—can unlock innovation, strengthen relationships, and create cultures where people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Dr. Dan is in the virtual studio today with award-winning music educator and entrepreneur Kenneth Thompson to explore what it truly means to grow into your purpose—especially when the path is anything but linear. Ken, the founder and CEO of the Musical Arts Center of San Antonio, Inc. (MACSA), holds a Bachelor of Music/Piano Performance from the Eastman School of Music (where he studied with Nelita True and Anton Nel). Ken shares his journey from early struggles with learning differences, bullying, and feeling unseen, to discovering connection, creativity, and self-awareness through music. What begins as a story about piano and performance becomes a profound exploration of resilience, mindset, neurodiversity, and leadership. Together, Dr. Dan and Ken unpack the hidden costs of chasing validation, the pressure of elite performance environments, and the courage it takes to redefine success. They explore why growth requires both safety and intensity, how authentic connection unlocks human potential, and why teaching, mentoring, and advocacy are among the most powerful forms of leadership. This episode is a reminder that purpose evolves, growth is relational, and true empowerment comes from being met—exactly as you are—while being challenged to become more.
