In this first installment of my Live Your Best Life series, I break down the mindset shift that helped me approach business, stress, money, and time differently after more than three decades in practice. I'll show you how to stop operating in constant “whack-a-mole” mode, define exactly where you want your practice and life to be five years from now, and work backward into measurable goals and priorities.The goal isn't simply to produce more. It's to build a practice that gives you more control, more time off, lower stress, and a life that actually feels successful. We'll talk about creating your “rocks,” separating signal from noise, and using the Eisenhower framework to decide what deserves your attention—and what should be delegated or deleted.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next opportunity is the decision to reject yourself before anyone else can? Leadership expert and bestselling author Selena Rezvani joins Kwame Christian to explore what it really takes to advocate for yourself, take bigger swings, and keep moving when fear, perfectionism, or self-doubt tells you to play it safe. Selena shares the bold ask that changed the course of her college years, the career rejection she turned into an unexpected opportunity, and why high achievers need to stop tying their worth to their accomplishments. They also unpack the power of a “win or learn” mindset, giving yourself permission to be a beginner, leading with vulnerability, building psychological safety, handling criticism, and showing up as your authentic self. If you've been waiting until you feel confident, qualified, or completely ready to make your move, this conversation is your reminder: take the shot anyway.

Your best ideas won't go anywhere if you don't know how to build the influence to make them happen. In this episode of Big Swings Only, Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill and innovation leader Jason Wild, co-authors of Genius at Scale, reveal what it really takes to turn ambitious ideas into meaningful change. Their research shows that breakthrough innovation isn't just about having the right idea—it's about building the relationships, trust, and coalitions needed to carry that idea across the finish line. Linda and Jason break down how to lead and influence without formal authority, navigate organizational politics without simply “playing politics,” and recognize the sources of power you may already have. They explore why self-awareness is an underrated leadership skill, how to become a “bridger” who works effectively across boundaries, and why the strongest leaders know when to give away credit to build commitment and trust. You'll also learn how great leaders build coalitions that transform individual efforts into movements—and how people with little authority, budget, or status can still create change at extraordinary scale. From navigating AI-driven uncertainty to leading former peers and having difficult conversations with transparency, this episode offers a practical look at the human side of leadership and innovation. If you have a big idea you want to bring to life, stop waiting for authority to make it happen. Build your influence, find your coalition, and take the swing.

Riaan Swiegelaar knows both sides of that statement — and in this episode he unpacks what that authority actually looks like from the inside.In this second episode of Live Your Best Life with Riaan Swiegelaar — former co-founder of the South African Satanic Church, now founder of Deliverance Hub — Liz Wright goes deeper into the revelation of authority as identity.

Your brain runs a persuasion campaign on you every single day — manufacturing certainty, defending beliefs that stopped being true years ago, and keeping you loyal to a version of yourself you never actually chose. Owen Fitzpatrick has spent 25+ years studying how minds get changed — as a filmmaker, an NLP co-author with Dr. Richard Bandler, a persuasion consultant for companies like Google and Coca-Cola, and a researcher who has traveled to North Korea, Iran, and Afghanistan to study propaganda at its most extreme. But after all that, he says the most powerful propaganda machine he's ever encountered wasn't out there — it was inside his own head. He calls it "inner propaganda," and in this episode, he shows you how to catch it running in yours.

In this episode, you'll learn why "one quadrant success" — chasing money while your health, relationships, and inner life fall apart — is the biggest lie in the self-development world, and what the four quadrants of true prosperity actually look like. You'll learn how to identify the beliefs you inherited about money, work, and worth, and how to "blow up" that programming and replace it with something that actually serves you. You'll learn Randy Gage's concept of the sovereign operator — the mindset that makes you unable to be guilted, manipulated, or controlled by other people, institutions, or fear. And you'll learn why creating a "vacuum" — letting go of what's not working — is often the prerequisite for the next level of growth, in business and in life. Randy Gage is the author of 16 books, including his new release Wealth Without Apology, and has built a coaching business that's generated tens of billions in revenue for himself and his clients. But before any of that, he was a 15-year-old sitting in a jail cell on an armed robbery charge. Kwame Christian sits down with him to trace that entire arc — and to pull out the exact frameworks you can use to stop feeling guilty about wanting more, and start building a prosperous life on your own terms.

Most people don't fail because they lack talent. They fail because they disqualify themselves before anyone else gets the chance. Patty Azzarello became HP's youngest-ever General Manager at 33, ran a billion-dollar business at 35, and reached Silicon Valley CEO by 38 — all while feeling like she didn't belong in the room. In her new book Why Is She Still Here?, she shares the real, unfiltered story of what it actually took to get there. In this episode, you'll discover: Why you should never disqualify yourself — Patty almost didn't apply for a billion-dollar GM role because she decided she wasn't ready. The men competing for the same job had less experience. She applied anyway. She got it. The "Little Patty" method for doing scary things — After 7 years of brutal childhood bullying, Patty built a powerful mental framework: if that little girl could walk back into school every day, you can do the scary adult thing. You owe it to her to swing. Why being a "business robot" stalls your career — Her boss told her she was too serious. Her mom cracked the code: your achievements get you in the door, but people have to want you in the room. How to turn your most embarrassing failure into your fastest learning — Patty once stood in front of a room full of engineers with zero knowledge of the product they were asking about. Two weeks later she was the most sought-after person to demo that exact product. The networking hack that works for introverts — Asking for help isn't weakness. It's how Patty — a self-described socially awkward introvert — built the support network that carried her career.

Most people think in binary — it will happen or it won't. A former CIA field officer says that mental habit is quietly destroying your decisions, your business, and your shot at the life you actually want. Anthony Vinci spent years recruiting intelligence sources in active war zones, advising presidents and generals on high-stakes decisions, and then managing investments at Bridgewater Associates under Ray Dalio — one of the most disciplined decision-making environments on the planet. After leaving government, he built a company from the ground up without knowing what an LLC was, wrote The Fourth Intelligence Revolution, and launched Veeo, a forecasting and scenario-planning platform now used by hedge funds, corporations, and governments. His hard-won insight: the cost of bad decisions is massive, and it follows you forever — but the right system changes everything. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "chunking" risk is the CIA method for taking action without freezing up — Anthony breaks down how he planned missions in Baghdad piece by piece, and how to apply the exact same framework to business decisions and big life swings The "compartmentalize risk" principle that explains why the world's biggest risk-takers (Special Forces operators, entrepreneurs) are often deeply conservative in other areas of their lives — and how to deliberately design yours Why stubbornness + optimism = resilience — and the hidden flip side that destroys most entrepreneurs who don't know when to stop The binary thinking trap: why saying "it's more likely than not" is dramatically less useful than saying "it's a 55% chance vs. a 90% chance" — and why that gap is where elite decision-makers live What Ray Dalio's Bridgewater taught Anthony about the one non-negotiable trait you need in your inner circle — and the exact type of person you must limit access to your energy Connect with Anthony Vinci www.anthonyvinci.com Connect with Kwame: Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company Follow Kwame Christian on LinkedIn negotiateanything.com Click here to buy your copy of Finding Confidence in Conflict: How to Negotiate Anything and Live Your Best Life! @kwamenegotiates across all social platforms

Something shifts when you begin to see the fullness of who God is. In this episode of Live Your Best Life, Liz Wright sits down with Chris Blackeby of As He Is Ministries for a conversation that is both ancient and urgently needed. Chris carries a revelation about restoring the feminine expression of God's nature — and why without it, something essential is missing from how we know God, how we relate to one another, and our capacity for miracle. God embodies both masculine and feminine. The masculine carries eternal truth — the unchanging, the foundational, the forever settled. The feminine carries immediate reality — presence, connection, the space where new things are born. And the biblical pattern is clear: every new move of God has been revealed through the feminine. This conversation covers the balance of masculine and feminine in God's nature, the love language of cherishment, the role of the feminine in miracles and new revelation, and what changes when we begin to relate to the fullness of who God is. Come and listen. This one will open something in you.
