In this episode of The Motivation with Brendon Burchard Podcast, Brendon unpacks the real reasons people abandon their biggest goals and reveals the proven strategies to help you keep going when things get tough. You'll discover: How to rise above judgment and inconvenience — so you stop letting other people's opinions or life's obstacles stall your progress. Why skill development and patience matter more than instant gratification — and how to find strength in the struggle. The keys to reflection and support — learning from your past missteps and asking for help so you don't burn out or give up. _____________________________________ If you've been struggling to stay on track, this episode will help you reframe discipline in a way that actually works—and show you how to create the structure and energy that keep you motivated for the long haul. _____________________________________ Life-Changing Resources: Become a GrowthDay member to unlock daily motivational audio from Brendon, weekly training from the world's top coaches and experts, exclusive Monday Motivation from Ed Mylett, Brendon AI, and over $5,000 of courses! https://growthday.go.link/gCW0U Download Brendon's famous 1-Page Productivity Guide: https://www.growthday.com/pdf-g ✨ Subscribe now and start your journey to a more fulfilling life! _____________________________________ Follow for more motivation: Instagram: @brendonburchard / @growthday YouTube: @BrendonBurchard / @GrowthDayMotivation Facebook: Brendon Burchard / GrowthDay _____________________________________ Don't forget to leave a review and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this!

Why? Because discipline without the right foundation doesn't last—it collapses under stress, fatigue, or lack of meaning. In this episode of The Motivation with Brendon Burchard Podcast, Brendon reveals why true discipline isn't about sheer willpower, but about aligning your energy, emotions, and environment to fuel long-term consistency. You'll learn: The motive behind discipline — why having a clear cause, purpose, or “why” is the spark that drives your consistency. Emotional and biological regulation — how managing your moods, stress, and energy levels unlocks your ability to follow through. The social and motivational environment — why the people around you, and the standards you choose, either empower or sabotage your discipline. _____________________________________ If you've been struggling to stay on track, this episode will help you reframe discipline in a way that actually works—and show you how to create the structure and energy that keep you motivated for the long haul. _____________________________________ Life-Changing Resources: Become a GrowthDay member to unlock daily motivational audio from Brendon, weekly training from the world's top coaches and experts, exclusive Monday Motivation from Ed Mylett, Brendon AI, and over $5,000 of courses! https://growthday.go.link/gCW0U Download Brendon's famous 1-Page Productivity Guide: https://www.growthday.com/pdf-g ✨ Subscribe now and start your journey to a more fulfilling life! _____________________________________ Follow for more motivation: Instagram: @brendonburchard / @growthday YouTube: @BrendonBurchard / @GrowthDayMotivation Facebook: Brendon Burchard / GrowthDay _____________________________________ Don't forget to leave a review and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this!

When the Climb Gets Quiet: How to Push Through Doubt and Hard Seasons Let's be real—success isn't always loud. Sometimes, it's painfully quiet. And in this raw, soul-deep conversation with my brother Brendon Burchard, we talk about the side of growth most people don't want to admit: the seasons of doubt, fear, and feeling like you've lost your fire. This isn't about hype—it's about what to do when you've hit a wall and the old playbook doesn't work anymore. Brendon and I open up about the moments behind the scenes—the ones where you're showing up for others, delivering value, crushing goals... and still feeling empty inside. We talk about how to navigate those internal storms that show up without warning, and why so many high performers are secretly struggling with isolation, fatigue, and questioning their purpose. If you've ever felt like your soul was in a fog even while your life looks “successful” on the outside—this is for you. What hit me hard was when Brendon said, “The world rewards energy and service, but you can't give what you don't have.” We explore what it looks like to rebuild yourself from the inside out, how to regain clarity when your vision blurs, and how to keep walking even when you don't feel strong. There's a difference between being tired and being depleted—and that distinction can save your life. This episode is a reminder that growth isn't always glamorous. Sometimes, it looks like tears, silence, and crawling through the unknown. But there's beauty in that struggle, too. Because when you choose to keep moving, to keep showing up, to keep believing even when the evidence isn't there—that's when you're becoming something greater than you imagined. Key Takeaways: Why even the most successful people face seasons of doubt and depletion The hidden emotional costs of constantly being “on” for others How to find strength when your purpose feels cloudy or distant The power of rebuilding identity through hardship, not around it How to shift from burnout to resilience—without losing your ambition Why learning to sit with the hard moments may be your biggest growth edge If you're in a hard season right now—or know someone who is—this conversation will meet you there. You're not alone. And you're not done.

So many high performers delay action not because they don't have time, but because they're overwhelmed by the meaning they've attached to the problem in front of them. In this episode, Brendon flips the script on procrastination and reveals how identity, perspective, and emotional focus are actually driving your delays. You'll learn how to: 1.) Shift your focus from obsessing over problems to seeking empowering solutions 2.) Detach your identity from challenges so you can move forward with clarity and strength 3.) Zoom out to gain perspective, build momentum, and find better tools and opportunities _____________________________________ This episode will challenge how you think about productivity and give you the mindset tools to finally break through your stuck points.

The Silent Killer of the Mind: What You Don't Know About Alzheimer's Could Be Hurting You Already What if the path to Alzheimer's doesn't begin in your 70s—but is already unfolding in your 30s, 40s, or even earlier? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Robert Love, we expose one of the most misunderstood, underestimated health threats of our generation—Alzheimer's disease—and what you can do today to not only prevent it, but potentially reverse its early effects. I've had some of the best minds on this show, but Dr. Love stands out. He's not just brilliant—he's a world-class communicator on a mission to bring hope, tools, and clarity to one of the scariest topics out there: losing your mind. Dr. Love pulls back the curtain on the real causes of Alzheimer's—and it's not just genetics. It's inflammation. It's sugar. It's chronic stress. It's poor sleep. He explains how our modern lifestyle is sabotaging our brain health decades before symptoms appear. And here's what hit me hard: your inflammation levels at age 40 are one of the strongest predictors of your Alzheimer's risk at 70. That's not fear—that's a wake-up call. But the best part? We're not powerless. From simple lifestyle shifts to breakthrough supplements like lion's mane and curcumin, Dr. Love shows us the map to protecting the most vital organ we've got—our brain. We also dive into cutting-edge science that isn't just about prevention—it's about reversal. Dr. Love shares promising new treatments and even clinical results from his medical clinic where Alzheimer's symptoms have improved or stabilized through non-drug protocols. He gives us a first-hand account of a patient who went from disoriented and forgetful to alert, clear, and sharp—all within six months. I'm telling you, this isn't science fiction. This is the new frontier of brain health. Beyond the data and science, what really resonated with me was this: so much of what protects the brain is also what builds a better life—quality sleep, exercise, meaningful learning, low stress, good food, and strong relationships. Dr. Love reminds us that joy, curiosity, and purpose aren't just nice-to-haves—they're biological armor for your brain. And if you're young and thinking this episode doesn't apply to you? Think again. The decisions you make today will echo into the quality of your future decades. Key Takeaways: Alzheimer's starts decades before symptoms appear—your 40s matter Inflammation is one of the biggest risk factors for cognitive decline Sleep, gut health, stress, and sugar all have massive impacts on brain aging Supplements like lion's mane, curcumin, and NMN can support neurogenesis Alzheimer's symptoms can be improved or reversed with lifestyle interventions Your lifestyle is not just shaping your body—it's shaping your brain This one is a must-listen. Share it with someone you love. This information can change lives. — Max Out

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I thought I'd be further along by now”? That one thought can quietly rob you of your peace, your joy, and your progress. In this episode, I'm sharing a message that hit me hard—and I know it's going to resonate with you. We're talking about the weight of yesterday—how comparison to your past or to where you thought you'd be can keep you stuck in a loop that doesn't serve you. But here's the truth: your past isn't a life sentence. It's a lesson. And most of the time, we're not even remembering it right. I walk you through why your brain is constantly editing your memories and how those stories you keep replaying may not be 100% true. More importantly, I give you a roadmap for breaking the cycle—because if you don't challenge the story, you'll keep living it. I also share how I reframed my own story with my dad and what I learned by choosing the meaning I gave to my past instead of letting it define me. You'll get four specific tools you can start using right now—like “future-focused journaling” and “mental rehearsal”—to shift your state and take control of your story. Because the second you align your thoughts and your actions, you start creating real momentum. And momentum? It beats memory every time. Let's make a decision together—to stop asking “Why did I do that?” and start asking “What's next?” You don't owe your past an apology. But you do owe your future a shot. So grab the pen. It's time to write a new chapter. Key Takeaways: Why comparison to your past or expectations keeps you stuck The truth about memory and how it's often inaccurate How to use “mental rehearsal” to rewrite your inner narrative Four practices to shift from rumination to creation The mindset that unlocks real momentum and growth Your story isn't over. But the next chapter? That's yours to write. Max out.

The truth is, most of what we've been taught about mindset oversimplifies the real internal shifts that lead to lasting transformation. In this powerful episode, Brendon breaks down the deeper—and often misunderstood—layers of mindset that shape how we show up in life. You'll discover: 1.) Why your perception of yourself is always evolving, and how to direct that evolution intentionally 2.) How your emotional interpretation of the world impacts everything from confidence to decision-making 3.) The surprising role that judging others' intent plays in how you form beliefs, behaviors, and personal momentum _____________________________________ This episode is a masterclass in self-awareness and growth. If you're ready to stop running in circles with surface-level strategies and start shifting the real internal game, this is the wake-up call you've been waiting for. _____________________________________ Life-Changing Resources: Become a GrowthDay member to unlock daily motivational audio from Brendon, weekly training from the world's top coaches and experts, exclusive Monday Motivation from Ed Mylett, Brendon AI, and over $5,000 of courses! https://growthday.go.link/gCW0U Download Brendon's famous 1-Page Productivity Guide: https://www.growthday.com/pdf-g ✨ Subscribe now and start your journey to a more fulfilling life! _____________________________________ Follow for more motivation: Instagram: @brendonburchard / @growthday YouTube: @BrendonBurchard / @GrowthDayMotivation Facebook: Brendon Burchard / GrowthDay _____________________________________ Don't forget to leave a review and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this!
What if everything you believe about success is actually slowing you down? In this conversation with Dr. Benjamin Hardy, we get real about why most people aren't achieving at the level they're capable of—and how to flip that. I told Ben right at the top of the show: our last interview turned heads. The kind of feedback we got—from everyday entrepreneurs all the way up to CEOs of billion-dollar companies—was off the charts. This one picks up where we left off and goes straight into the truth about scaling your business, your mindset, and your life. Dr. Hardy breaks down why the goals you're setting might be too safe—and how that safety is the very thing killing your growth. We talk about setting what he calls “impossible goals” with unreasonable timeframes, not because they're flashy, but because they strip away every single thing that's slowing you down. “False goals create intensity,” he says, and that's where most people get stuck. The real key? Letting the future—not your past—shape your decisions today. I open up about my own realizations. I thought I was a future thinker. Turns out, I was still leaning on the past more than I realized. And if you're scaling anything beyond just yourself, that mindset's got to shift. We get into what it really takes to lead with conviction, how to simplify your systems, and why being radically honest with yourself is the start of all exponential growth. This episode isn't just theory—it's the real talk you need if you're tired of playing small. If you've been stuck in complexity, distracted by too many paths, or trying to do five things at once, this one's going to hit home. Ben says it best: “We're kept from our goal not by obstacles, but by a clear path to a lesser goal.” That'll preach. Key Takeaways: Why short timeframes eliminate all the false paths The difference between bold goals and truly impossible goals How to stop lying to yourself and simplify your system What it takes to scale beyond yourself—and why most never do How to develop unshakable conviction and operate as a signal in a noisy world Listen now, and get ready to start thinking and executing in a whole new way. — Max Out

In the rush to meet deadlines, grow careers, and serve everyone else, many of us unintentionally crowd out the very thing that fuels our energy, optimism, and creativity: joy. In this episode, Brendon challenges you to stop treating joy as an afterthought and start designing your life around it. You'll discover: How to audit your calendar for joy-depleting habits and reintroduce activities that genuinely light you up Why your sense of aliveness and well-being directly impacts your ability to grow, lead, and serve Simple practices of spiritual renewal that keep you connected to your highest self and long-term vision _____________________________________ This episode is a powerful reminder that joy is not a luxury—it's a leadership strategy, a health imperative, and a personal growth accelerator.

What if your greatest setback became your biggest calling? There are some moments in life that just stop you in your tracks—and this conversation is one of them. I sat down with Dan and Andrea Kotter, a couple whose journey through tragedy, faith, resilience, and relentless love has inspired me to my core. Dan fell 35 feet off a roof and was left paralyzed from the waist down. Andrea met him after the accident, while going through her own unimaginable heartbreak. But neither of them let their pain define them—they chose to build something even greater instead. This isn't just a story about surviving. It's about rebuilding—physically, emotionally, spiritually. Dan could have given up. Instead, he pushed through years of surgeries, chronic pain, and loss, while Andrea stood by his side, not seeing the wheelchair, but the strength that conquered it. They've blended families, faced down trauma, and raised six incredible kids, all while showing up on social media to shine light into other people's darkness. We talked about what it really takes to choose joy when life hands you suffering. How faith—real, grounded, daily faith—can carry you through when nothing else makes sense. How sometimes your life falling apart is exactly what's needed to put you on the path you were meant for. And how you don't need some “perfect” story to make a difference—your real life is enough. Their content has saved lives. It's made broken dads rethink fatherhood. It's helped people believe in God again. That's the power of two people showing up, being honest, and refusing to quit. Dan and Andrea reminded me—and will remind you—that no matter what you're facing, you've got more in you than you think. And you're never alone in the fight. Key Takeaways: The life-changing moment that left Dan paralyzed—and how he chose to respond. Andrea's decision to love a man in a wheelchair after her own heartbreaking trauma. The unshakable role of faith in their healing, growth, and purpose. How authentic social media content can literally save lives. Why real strength means showing up in the struggle, not hiding it. Listen now and share this with someone who needs a reminder that their story still matters. MAX OUT.

That nagging feeling of unworthiness—even when you're doing the work—can quietly sabotage your joy, relationships, and momentum. In this episode, Brendon breaks down why that feeling persists and how to finally overcome it by transforming your relationship with your losses and embracing self-acceptance. Through powerful insight and actionable guidance, you'll discover: How to transform losses into greater self-worth. If you don't give yourself grace about the losses in life, you will never feel good about the wins. When you transform failure and inadequacy into a positive direction, your sense of value and competency goes up. Why self-acceptance is the release valve for high achievers. This isn't "woo-woo" ; it's vital for your ability to flow and prevent internal explosion from constant striving without releasing pressure. How to regularly process losses with grace, not shame. You must look back at losses, debrief them, and grant yourself grace. Shaming circumstances or your character makes things wither and die , but grace allows for fluidity, change, and truth. _____________________________________ This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they're constantly striving but never fully arriving.

What Would You Do If You Were Shot Eight Times? Today, I sat across from a man who shouldn't even be alive. Marcus Stanley was shot eight times at point-blank range, left for dead in the street, and in that moment, he saw what he believes was an angel standing between him and every bullet. I needed you to hear from this man because Marcus isn't just here to tell a story about survival—he's here to remind us what it means to keep going when everything around you says it's over. Marcus and I talk about the dark years that followed his shooting, years where painkillers turned into addiction, and addiction turned into heroin. We talked about what it feels like when your life gets blown apart, and you have to learn how to walk again, literally and spiritually. Marcus told me it was forgiveness—real, hard, gut-wrenching forgiveness—that unlocked his freedom, even though the men who tried to kill him never paid for what they did. And you'll hear how Marcus went from a man chasing fame as a musician to a man who wakes up every day asking, “How can I serve?” His faith became real not in the moment he was shot, but in the quiet, hidden years of service and surrender afterward, staying in a treatment center for four years to help others with no pay, no spotlight, just a calling to be there for the one person who might need hope that day. Marcus' story isn't about surviving a tragedy; it's about what you do after you survive. It's about taking one more step when you don't know if you can, believing that God's not done with you yet, and choosing gratitude for every breath, every step, even if you feel pain with each one. I want you to hear this conversation because if you're feeling like you're on your back right now, Marcus' journey will remind you that you're never alone, and you can get back up. Why Marcus believes forgiveness was the key that broke his chains of addiction What it felt like to see an angel while being shot at point-blank range The hidden years of service that shaped Marcus into the man he is today How to find hope and take one more step, even when you feel you can't Why your suffering can produce endurance, character, and hope if you let it Key Takeaways: If you've ever questioned whether God is with you in your lowest moments, or if you're carrying your own scars—Marcus' story is your reminder that you are held, you are loved, and you are here for a reason. Share this with someone who needs to know it's not over. God bless you.

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.

In a world that constantly pushes doubt, fear, and self-criticism, the real growth begins the moment you start believing again—believing in your worth, your potential, and your future. In this uplifting episode, Brendon dives into why faith isn't just a spiritual concept—it's a strategy for personal development and lifelong fulfillment: Have Faith in Yourself – Speak to yourself with intention, power, and kindness—because your words shape your identity. Have Faith in Others – Strengthen your relationships and leadership by choosing belief over judgment. Have Faith in Your Future – Reignite your dreams and take aligned action, even in uncertain times. _____________________________________ Whether you're in a season of self-doubt or looking to reconnect with your inner power, this episode will inspire you to build a deeper foundation of self-trust—and begin your next chapter with clarity and confidence. _____________________________________ Life-Changing Resources: Become a GrowthDay member to unlock daily motivational audio from Brendon, weekly training from the world's top coaches and experts, exclusive Monday Motivation from Ed Mylett, Brendon AI, and over $5,000 of courses! https://growthday.go.link/hsAqg Download Brendon's famous 1-Page Productivity Guide: https://www.growthday.com/pdf-g ✨ Subscribe now and start your journey to a more fulfilling life! _____________________________________ Follow for more motivation: Instagram: @brendonburchard / @growthday YouTube: @BrendonBurchard / @GrowthDayMotivation Facebook: Brendon Burchard / GrowthDay _____________________________________ Don't forget to leave a review and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this!
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.

True happiness isn't found in checking random boxes—it's found in completing what truly moves the needle in your life. In this episode, Brendon Burchard reveals how productivity is one of the fastest ways to generate happiness, confidence, and forward momentum. When you complete meaningful tasks, you build character. When you follow through, you gain self-respect. And when you stay consistent, you start to believe in your ability to create the life you truly want.

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.

Are you feeling utterly drained, believing it's just the relentless pace of life? What if your burnout isn't about working too hard, but about hiding—hiding your true self, your assertiveness, and your inherent worth? In this powerful episode, Brendon Burchard uncovers the subtle ways we diminish ourselves, leading to exhaustion that no amount of rest can truly fix. It's time to stop shrinking and start shining. Brendon shares how to reclaim your power, assert your true value, and build an unshakeable sense of self-worth. You'll discover: Why if you don't assert yourself, you can't see what you're worth. We'll dive into how speaking your truth and standing for your value isn't aggressive—it's essential for self-recognition. How to stop judging yourself on your circumstances instead of your character. Your external situation doesn't define your inner strength or capabilities. It's time to shift your internal compass. Why worthiness is not guaranteed 100% of the time unless you're working towards it. This isn't about being perfect; it's about consistent self-acknowledgment and intentional action to build and maintain your sense of deserving. _____________________________________ If you're ready to stop the cycle of hidden burnout and step into your full, asserted power, this episode is a must-listen.

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.
If you constantly feel overwhelmed, scattered, or like you're running in circles without real progress… it's not because you're broken—it's because you're reactive instead of intentional.

When we avoid discomfort, we disconnect from alignment, service, and true fulfillment. It's time to break free from the ease that's keeping you small—and reawaken the purpose that pulls you forward. Brendon shares how to realign with what matters, reignite your internal drive, and stop chasing tasks—and start chasing impact.

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.

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.
If you've been feeling unmotivated, unfocused, or like you're just going through the motions… it might be because comfort has quietly replaced your purpose. In this powerful episode, Brendon Burchard calls out the silent trap that keeps high achievers stuck: getting too comfortable. When we settle, we stop striving. When we avoid discomfort, we disconnect from alignment, service, and true fulfillment. It's time to break free from the ease that's keeping you small—and reawaken the purpose that pulls you forward. Brendon shares how to realign with what matters, reignite your internal drive, and stop chasing tasks—and start chasing impact. You'll discover: Why comfort leads to misalignment—and how to get your focus and motive back How to stop task-chasing and shift into a mindset of meaningful service How saying goodbye to avoidance can unlock the momentum and clarity you've been missing _____________________________________ If you're ready to shake off the comfort zone and step back into the meaningful pursuit of your purpose, this episode is your wake-up call.

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.
