What happens after you die? It's a question that has fascinated humanity for thousands of years. Today's guest has an answer that might surprise you.  Dannion Brinkley has been clinically dead multiple times, and what he learned from those experiences led him to one extraordinary conclusion: nobody ever dies. Dannion is the bestselling author of Saved by the Light and Secrets of the Light, a hospice volunteer with nearly 50 years of service, and one of the world's most well-known near-death experience survivors.  After being struck by lightning in 1975 and clinically dead for 28 minutes, Dannion says he experienced what he calls a panoramic life review that completely transformed the course of his life. Dannion has devoted his life to helping people face death without fear. He has spent more than 34,000 hours at the bedside of veterans in the VA, provided hospice support to over 2,000 people during their final days, and helped build one of the largest end-of-life volunteer programs for veterans, the Brinkley Center Foundation. In our conversation, Dannion shares what he has learned from decades spent helping people navigate life's final transition, why he believes no one truly dies, what happens during the panoramic life review, and how we can live in a way that brings more love, service, and meaning to the people around us.

AI is evolving faster than most of us can comprehend. And for many people, it's creating a very real fear about the future. If machines can outthink us and eventually outwork us, what does that mean for our careers, our purpose, and even our identity?  Perhaps an even better question is: what does it mean to be human in the age of AI? Today, I'm joined by Jeff Burningham. Jeff is an entrepreneur, investor, and author who has built more than a dozen companies valued at over a billion dollars and recently released his powerful new book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI. Unlike most conversations about AI that focus on productivity, efficiency, or making more money, Jeff explores something much deeper: how AI can actually help humanity reconnect with wisdom, presence, empathy, and the qualities that make us uniquely human. In our conversation, Jeff explains why AI is not just a technological disruption, but a spiritual challenge and a mirror reflecting humanity back to itself. We talk about fear, optimism, consciousness, emotional regulation, and why wisdom—not intelligence—may become the most valuable human trait moving forward.  If you've felt uncertain or overwhelmed about where humanity is headed, this episode will challenge the way you think about both AI and yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why AI Forces Us To Reevaluate Humanity Why AI Is A Spiritual Challenge For Humanity The Human Qualities AI Can Never Replicate Jeff Addresses The Fears People Have About AI Fear vs. Optimism In The Age Of AI Using AI As A Bridge Back To Human Connection How To Use AI Wisely And Mindfully The Real Challenge Facing Humanity Right Now The Choice Is To Focus On Who You Choose To Be Simple Questions That Reveal Your Awareness What Jeff Hopes Readers Take Away From His Book The Conversation About AI Humanity Needs To Have  Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/639 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

One of the biggest challenges parents face today is creating a real connection with their kids in a world where phones and screens dominate so much of their attention. And here's where it really hits home. We only have "18 summers to create lasting connections" with our kids before they become adults, so why not make the most of it? Today, I'm joined by two of my favorite people, Mike and Lindsay McCarthy. Mike and Lindsay are the co-authors of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families and the Miracle Morning for Parents and Families Playbook. Mike is also the CEO and co-founder of the Gobundance mastermind and co-created Fambundance with his wife, Lindsay. Together, they've spent more than a decade helping families create stronger relationships, healthier communication, and intentional family meetings and habits through events and their family legacy framework. In our conversation, we talk about the systems and values that have helped them create a deeply connected family culture, how intentional parenting evolves as your kids grow older, and why creating shared experiences and family traditions can shape your children long after they leave home.

JB Thibodeaux grew up in Acres Homes in Houston and is a third-generation carpenter and concrete specialist who turned that craft into a vertically-integrated real estate development business. His firms, J.B. Thibodeaux Homes & Properties, CCB Construction LLC, and CCB General Contractors LLC, have led over $100 million in projects across mass development, pocket development, and affordable housing infill. This year, the Houston market crowned him the "Duplex King."In this episode, Ed and JB unpack a contrarian lesson the real estate education industry rarely teaches: the difference between the real estate hustle and the real estate business. Hustle gets you doors. Business gets you a sustainable enterprise. Most operators only ever learn the first one.JB walks through the Houston duplex pricing math that vindicated his long conviction on the market, from "praying to get $350" on a 2,500 square foot duplex to selling at $479, almost $500,000. He explains his concept-to-keys pocket-development model, Houston's no-zoning-but-deed-restrictions quirk, the 60/40 build-to-sell vs. build-to-hold split for his client base, and why vertical integration (owning the GC) is a margin lever most flippers underestimate.In this episode:Pocket development inside a major metro: the frameworkThe duplex math that vindicated a Houston long-holdHouston's "no zoning" reality: where the leverage actually livesWhy "the gurus teach you doors, not business"House hacking as the duplex exit strategyGenerational construction knowledge as competitive moatMayor Sylvester Turner naming February 20 "James 'JB' Thibodeaux Day" (2019)If you're a flipper, wholesaler, or operator trying to build a business and not just a deal pipeline, this is the episode.This week's book: The Miracle Morning by Hal ElrodGuest: JB Thibodeaux, Founder & Managing Partner, J.B.

The truth is, almost everyone struggles with procrastination. It keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns, convinces us to wait for the "perfect" time to take action, and gets in the way of what we truly want. Whether it's starting a business, improving your health, writing a book, or having a difficult conversation, procrastination often becomes a roadblock between who we are and who we want to become. Today, I'm joined by Jon Acuff. Jon is an 11-time NYT bestselling author, a top-100 INC keynote speaker, and has just released his newest book, Procrastination Proof. Jon has spent years studying mindset, perfectionism, and the habits that keep people from taking action to achieve their biggest goals. His ability to simplify complicated ideas into practical frameworks has helped millions of people create meaningful change in their personal and professional lives. In our conversation, Jon explains why procrastination isn't actually a character flaw or a sign of laziness, but a "solution" we use to avoid discomfort, fear, uncertainty, and criticism. We unpack the mindset patterns that keep people stuck, the hidden reasons why we procrastinate, and why so many people mistakenly believe they "work best under pressure." Jon also shares a 4-step framework that makes someone "procrastination proof," along with practical ways to overcome perfectionism and finally stop delaying the life you truly want. If you've ever felt stuck between your intentions and your actions, this episode will help you close that gap and start moving forward.

If you love your partner but still feel disconnected, misunderstood, or frustrated by recurring issues in your relationship or marriage, you're not alone. Today's episode is about bridging the gap between the relationship you have and the one you want. Today, I'm joined by my friends Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos, a married couple and master relationship coaches with over 30 years of combined experience helping people heal relationship wounds, break the cycles that keep showing up in their love lives, and build the kind of relationship most people have stopped believing is possible. Stefanos is the author of a powerful new book, Tuned In and Turned On, which offers a path to self-healing, deeper connection, and true love that lasts. Christine brings the feminine perspective and spiritual psychology, while Stefanos brings deep work around masculinity, trauma, and what he calls Sacred Union. In our conversation, we discussed why relationships can be so challenging, even when both people are committed to growth. Christine and Stefanos also explain why attempting to change your partner often creates more disconnection, how unmet childhood needs are projected onto your relationship, and why true repair matters more than avoiding conflict in the first place.

Whether it's your marriage, friendships, or work, that lack of deep connection can quietly affect your overall health and happiness. Today, I'm joined by my friend Michael Trainer, who has a new book out called Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection. Michael is one of the most fascinating people I've ever met, and his work is centered around helping people create deeper, more aligned relationships in every area of life. From co-creating the Global Citizen Festival, which has helped raise over $40 billion to defeat extreme poverty, to studying human connection across cultures and the neuroscience behind it, Michael brings a unique blend of real-world experience and science-based insights. In our conversation, we discussed the loneliness epidemic and why so many people feel disconnected despite having greater access to communication than ever before. Michael shares what it means to create "resonance" in your relationships, how the people you surround yourself with directly influence your emotional and physical well-being, and practical ways to become someone who attracts and builds powerful, life-giving connections. We also explore how to identify the relationships that energize you versus the ones that drain you, and how taking intentional actions can completely transform the quality of your relationships and your life.

Theresa Corazon, TV producer turned entrepreneur, was at the peak of her career when everything changed. She woke up days after Easter Sunday with frontal lobe brain trauma, eight broken ribs, a hand that nearly required amputation, and no memory of what had happened. She would spend eight months across five hospitals. Christmas, New Year's, and her birthday, alone, during COVID, with a rosary in her hand and her mother on the phone every single night. Rebuilding everything for the next 5 years: the ability to walk,  talk, read, and even breathe without complication. In this episode, Kelly sits down with Theresa for one of the most powerful, raw, and faith-filled conversations where she and Theresa dig deep into the anger, the depression, the dark night of the soul, the surrender, and the framework she built from the rubble of her recovery to help others find their way back when everything has been stripped away. This episode is not about business strategy. It is about what holds you when strategy is not enough. It is about faith, resilience, and what becomes possible when you stop asking why and start asking how you can be used. Timestamps: 00:45:  From aspiring pediatrician to TV journalist to entrepreneur 08:30: The idea that was born from a sticky note, and launched to a thousand people four months later 11:00: How producing the Miracle Morning documentary unknowingly prepared Theresa for her greatest fall 14:30: Easter Sunday and the moment everything changed 17:00: Waking up surrounded by medical professionals with no memory of what happened (and the words no one wants to hear) 25:00: The emotional journey through trauma, anger, depression, dark night of the soul, and the moment of surrender 31:00: Advice for anyone who feels like they are in the darkest place of their life right now 34:00: The RISE framework, and how it was built from her hospital bed 41:00: The books and voices that carried Theresa through recovery 44:30: What Theresa is most excited to bring into the world now: speaking, the Rise online program, and the official announcement of her upcoming book 47:00: The prayer that guides everything 48:30: Where to connect with Theresa and how to follow the Rise movement Resources: Follow Theresa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theresacorazonwithlove/  Connect with Theresa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresalaurico/ Visit Theresa's website: www.theresacorazon.com Watch the Miracle Morning documentary — now free on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=pI8xsLp7hqg&vl=en  Learn more about the RISE online program and Theresa's upcoming book: www.theresacorazon.com

Imagine the possibilities if you stopped waiting until you felt ready and just committed to the idea you've had that could make a huge impact on other people's lives. If you've ever felt the pull to make a bigger difference but told yourself you didn't have enough time, money, or clarity to begin, this conversation will challenge that excuse in the best possible way. It's a powerful reminder that impact doesn't start when everything is figured out. It starts the moment you decide to take action. Today, I'm joined by my friend Matt King, CEO of GoBundance, who is preparing to ride his bike 2,000 miles from Mexico to Canada over 13 consecutive days! Why is he doing it? His goal is to raise over $1 million that will be given directly to people in overlooked communities along the route. No nonprofit overhead, just real people helping others in ways that will make a huge impact immediately. In our conversation, Matt shares why he committed to this mission before he knew exactly how it would come together, and how that decision set everything in motion. We talk about how great outcomes are achieved by taking action first, what it means to lead by example for your kids, and why so many of us spend our lives waiting for permission instead of trusting that we'll find the way once we begin. Above all else, Matt explains how seemingly small acts of kindness can make someone feel seen, loved, and heard, and how anyone can get started if they want to achieve something that's bigger than themselves.

If your doctor said chemotherapy is your only option, would you automatically say yes? If you or someone you love is facing a cancer diagnosis, or you simply want to do everything you can to prevent it, this conversation may completely change the way you think about healing, health, and the questions you should be asking right now. Today, I'm joined by my good friend, Chris Wark. Chris was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at just 26 years old, shortly after getting married. After surgery, his doctors told him chemotherapy was required, but Chris chose a different path. He radically changed his diet, leaned into his faith, and over the last two decades has remained cancer-free. He later turned that experience into Chris Beat Cancer, a platform that has helped millions of people find hope, guidance, and practical support. In our conversation, we talked about what it really means to take ownership of your health, especially when the stakes couldn't be higher. We explore the mindset shift from being a passive patient to becoming an active participant in your healing, along with the role faith, nutrition, and lifestyle can play when you're facing one of the most difficult moments of your life. We also dive into the questions many people never think to ask their oncologist, why Chris believes healing begins with believing it's possible, and how forgiveness, gratitude, and reducing stress can impact your health in powerful ways.

Why is it so easy to let negative thoughts creep into our minds, even when we know they're holding us back? For many people, negative self-talk can feel so familiar that it starts to sound like the truth, even when it isn't. Today, we're exploring how your thoughts shape beliefs, how those beliefs influence your reality, and why making positive changes often begins with the language you use toward yourself. Lucy Osborne is the global leader of intenSati, a movement and mindfulness practice that combines spoken affirmations with physical exercise, and the voice behind the guided S.A.V.E.R.S. practices in the Miracle Morning app. Over a decade ago, she walked into her first intenSati class believing that if she could just get smaller, her life would finally get better. By the end of the class, she experienced real joy and realized that nothing had changed on the outside, only the input she was feeding her mind. In our conversation, Lucy explains why the brain works a lot like ChatGPT, finding evidence for whatever you feed it. She explains how a belief is simply a repeated thought and why you don't have to believe a new affirmation before you start saying it. We also talk about how guided S.A.V.E.R.S. can help you interrupt morning routines on autopilot, shift your inner voice, and begin creating more joy, confidence, and intention in your life.

Today's guest, J. Brad Britton, is one of my earliest mentors and the co-author of the new book, Real Words with Sam. J. Brad's son Sam was diagnosed with autism at age two, and he remained largely non-speaking for most of his life. But after attending a symposium and seeing the success other families had with a unique spelling method, J. Brad discovered that Sam had been thinking, listening, understanding, and was capable of communicating, often poetically, in ways that changed everything. In our conversation, Brad shares the emotional story of how his relationship with Sam has evolved and how it has completely changed the way he understands his son, himself, and others. You'll also understand why this conversation is about so much more than autism, what it means to move beyond assumptions and truly see someone, and why becoming a more patient, present, empathetic human being may be one of the most powerful transformations any of us can experience.

If you're feeling stuck or like you've plateaued in your personal growth, the breakthrough you're looking for likely won't come from just trying harder with the same strategies.  Real transformation happens when we do the inner work most of us avoid because it forces us to confront the parts of ourselves we've been resisting. And today's guest has dedicated his life to helping people do exactly that and awaken their highest self. Danny Morel is a spiritual teacher and global thought leader in personal transformation. He's the host of The Higher Self podcast and the creator of the Awaken Your Highest Self live experiences, where he helps people from all over the world break free from old identities and step into real healing. And if attending a live event feels out of reach, Danny has distilled his signature framework into his new book, Awaken Your Highest Self, available for pre-order now! In our conversation, Danny breaks down his three-part framework and explains why awakening starts with questioning everything. You'll also learn why healing requires reclaiming your power from the stories you've been living in, how forgiveness can become the doorway to peace and freedom, and how plant medicine—including ayahuasca—can serve as a powerful catalyst for deeper healing and self-discovery.

What if the most powerful mental health tool you have is the first few minutes of your day? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore how “Miracle Morning” isn't about perfection—it's about meeting yourself with intention before the world asks anything of you. This conversation is for anyone who wakes up feeling heavy, rushed, or emotionally drained—and wants a simple, doable reset. Renee shares how gratitude, prayer/meditation, and a “future voice” script can gently rewire your morning energy, reduce digital overwhelm, and build momentum one day at a time.

What if the strategies you've used to avoid pain are the same ones keeping you disconnected from your soul? So much of our desire to strive and optimize is simply the ego's way of protecting us from discomfort. We call it growth, but in reality, it's avoidance. My guest today is my good friend Kyle Cease. Kyle was named one of Comedy Central's Top 10 Comics to Watch in 2009, and he's the author of my favorite book I read in 2025, The Illusion of Money. He was on the path to Hollywood stardom until something deeper called him to do what he was destined to do: become a spiritual teacher. Not to achieve more fame or money, but to develop a deeper connection to God, truth, and spiritual growth.  In this episode, we go deeper than I've ever gone on this podcast. We talk about how the internet is bombarding us with first-level insights, why "positive thinking" fails to overcome our personal struggles, and how our addiction to impact, productivity, and even self-help can keep us from real healing. Kyle also shares how he's learning to let his ego die, how suffering is necessary in order to truly heal, and why connecting with your soul on a deeper level will unlock your biggest breakthroughs to achieve your goals.

America's favorite shaved mammal on a microphone has got his slack. John, act back on track for another wealth building week with you. I'm Keith Weinhold. This is get rich education, and I'm still not wearing a pair of Dockers. We all know that the one to four unit space single family homes, up to four plexes have held under their values despite soured affordability, but five plus unit apartment buildings are a drastically different story. We're going to talk about just how much value they've lost recently, and the reasons why it's about more than just the interest rates doubling and tripling that began in 2022 Today's guest is an apartment educator. His students have had both losses and wins over time. I'll ask about both, because adversity is where you get the lessons now today, you might buy an apartment building at a steep discount compared to what it sold for five years ago. And who might you buy an apartment from today, it might not be the type of seller that you're thinking about because of owners defaulting you might now be buying it from a bank that had to basically repossess it. Yeah, you might try to buy it from a lender at 60% of the loan amount. Well, a lender doesn't want to do a 40% write down, so they're going to try to get more and see. That's how this could practically look today for an apartment owner that survived the crisis and is still standing today. They're asking themselves, now, why would I sell at a discount if I don't have to? So they're probably going to try to hold on. And then, of course, the tenants in these apartments don't know that any of this is going on now. I own a lot of single family rental homes myself, also apartment buildings in the one to one and a half million dollar range is where I've played, and often that ends up being eight to 12 units, because in that space, I don't need partners to invest in assets of that size. One to $2 million is also small enough so that you're not competing with institutional money and other players. Today, I'll tell you what I did with some of those buildings myself when interest rates reset about four years ago, and before you and I wrap up the show today, I've got something to tell you about what's coming in future. GRE episodes here stuff that's really unexpected as the apartment King waits in the wings. One last thing to tell you about, like I mentioned to you recently, investors say that they want an opportunity, but what they really want is certainty. Once certainty arrives, the opportunity. Is gone.    Keith Weinhold  5:01   Our GRE live event last Thursday was a success. It is about how central Florida is the most compelling housing market right now, with the builder offering rate buy downs as low as 3.75% and, you know, I just ran the numbers on something, and I can hardly believe this. All right, right. Now owner occupied mortgage rates are near 6% this means investment property rates are almost 7% with the rate by down to 4% here's how your cash flow looks with a 30 year fixed rate mortgage on a 300k loan with a 7% rate, your p and i payment is 1996 at a 4% rate. It's just 1432, this is a reduction of $564 per month, a whopping payment difference. That's really the difference between treading water and stacking cash flow on these brand new build properties that we're talking about here in Central Florida. So talking about opportunity and certainty, that is a big measure of both. Yeah, before I ran the numbers, I didn't realize that the spread was this wide. With high demand for these properties, the builder does have some more available, a long term fixed rate of around 4% it should be up for you now you can see the limited time replay of GRE, freshest live event at grewebinars.com, in case you want to look into This again, grewebinars.com let's discuss the apartment market. Foreign apartment building values have fallen at 20% 30% even 40% over the past few years, depending on the market that they're in today, we're going to learn how bad it is, why it happened, and if that actually creates an opportunity here in the late 2020s, decade, our guest is known as the apartment king. He is the number one nationally known educator and mentor for apartment investing. He started with a bang in 2002 by making his first ever real estate investment, not a four Plex like I did, but a 32 unit apartment building, and he's now owned and invested in over 11,000 units and over 1 billion in assets under management. He's received awards like the naa independent owner of the year, and he's the star of the massively popular in person events that he puts on, which you'll learn about soon. Hey, it's been several years. Welcome back to the show. Brad sumrock,   Brad Sumrok  7:46   hey, Keith. It's really good to be on again. Nice to be here.   Keith Weinhold  7:50   Brad and I were together in person last month, and we also talked physical fitness. Then Brad is one of the fittest guys you'll ever meet in person. He just looks fantastic. We want to hear about your apartment forecast shortly. Brad, let's talk about the hard stuff. First, you've endured adversity since we last had you here several years ago. Tell us about that.   Brad Sumrok  8:14    Well, look, I mean, I think anyone that's been serious about investing in apartments over the last five years. And I'll also say it this way, anyone who did a deal and say 21 the middle of 21 till probably the end of 2022 it's very likely that that property is worth less today than than it was when we bought it. So that, in itself, has created, you know, adversity, because I got into the business in 2002 and the market went up until 2008 and we went through a downturn in 2008 nine and 10, as is, I'm sure you're aware. And then the market went up again until around 2021, mid year. And then, due to so many reasons, and I could go into those reasons, but let me just just cut to the chase. That you alluded to is we had another downturn, and so the downturn, you know, impacts property values, it impacts confidence, it impacts investor appetite to do deals. It impacts just about everything related to the business, on the investment side, and the other business that I'm in, which is the seminars, the events and the mentoring. So it's been a big downturn, and we could go into those, you know, into the reasons why, and I'm sure you'd like to know my take on that. But now is a great time, because things are recovering, and one of the things Tony Robbins teaches Keith is pattern recognition. It's like I've been through two downturns, and I could see the patterns, and it occurs to me that we're at or near the bottom of a cycle. So like it's also a good time to be gearing up.   Keith Weinhold  9:50   Now, many realize but for those uninitiated on this, the one to four unit space really didn't feel much pain starting in 2022 so much of that is time. Two people get long term fixed interest rate debt on the one to four unit property, but it's shorter term debt on five plus unit apartment buildings. So when interest rates went up, people soon had to pay those higher rates. They were underwater. That's really the genesis of so much of the apartment building pain.   Brad Sumrok  10:19   Well, and I would say, look, it was, I'm going to throw a bunch of things at you here. So we had the pandemic, right? And during the pandemic, people got paid to stay home from work, right? The government printed, what, $5 trillion worth of money, right? And so that kicked off what became a period of, like, very high inflation. And you know, the published number was 9% but I think a lot of people experience certain items that were a lot more than 9% like, for example, for sure, in 2022 when we bought a 286 unit property, you know, we were able to replace all the appliances inside of a unit in The kitchen, you know, for $1,800 and even today it's like $3,200 so that's a little bit more than 9% and so we had that. So we had the printing of money, we had inflation, we had variable rate debt. Why did people do variable rate debt? The first thing I'll say is there is a place for variable rate debt. But what happened in 2021 and 2022 is the fixed rate lenders, which are typically the government sponsored agencies Fannie and Freddie. They were still lending money, but because of their criteria for lending, if you would go with one of those loans, you would get like 50% leverage the shorter term lenders that would give you the three year loans, you can still get like 75 to 80% leverage. So the vast amount of people that were buying anything in 2021 and 2022 I mean, I'm not just talking about myself. I'm talking about people with 2030, 4050, 70,000 doors all over the country, they were buying with short term debt. And historically, short term debt performs at or better than long term debt. I mean, think about it, when you get a long term, 10 year fixed rate loan and multifamily you have prepayment penalties. You know, when the market's constantly going up like it did, from 2012 to 2022 you could get that fixed term loan. You could pay it off early, you could pay the seven figure prepayment penalty, and you could still make lots and lots of money, and that's what people were doing. So when you bake in the prepayment penalties on long term debt, you know short term debt is oftentimes the better option. Well, nobody saw the Fed raising rate 16 times in 12 months. And look, I don't care what anybody says, Nobody predicted it. If they had predicted it, they would be probably the richest person in the world right now, right nobody saw a comment like, there may have been some people that said, hey, yeah, this is going to happen, or this is going to happen. But what actually happened with the Fed rates over a very short period of time was unprecedented. Unprecedented means it never happened before. So it's not something you could anticipate or something anyone can model. Okay? And so what that did is most of us had what's called an interest rate cap, which is an insurance policy that if the rates go up too much, that yours is capped. But the problem with those rate caps is they're only good for like, two years, right? So we're buying these deals in 2021 and we're getting short term debt, which is a three year debt. And in two years, in 2023 the rate cap expires, and now the rates are 9% instead of 3% and when we bought the deal, the rate cap insurance was $40,000 and now it's a million dollars. And so you're in a very awkward, unfriendly financial situation. And it wasn't just that. So it wasn't just inflation, it wasn't just interest rates. And many of us sung belt markets, specifically Texas and Florida, which historically have been some of the best markets to invest in, because of migration and no taxes, and then landlord and business friendly environments. Well, these states also suffered a lot of named storms, with, you know, hurricanes and wind storms and hail storms and so in these markets, at the same time, we had rising rates. At the same time, we had massive inflation. Now we also have insurance rates doubling or even tripling in some occasions. And then the final thing was, during the pandemic, a lot of the multifamily projects that were in the middle of being built, these development projects, they all slowed down. People couldn't work. And so back in 2020, or after we're fully recovered from the pandemic, some of these markets, like Nashville and Austin and Dallas and Houston and Phoenix, they got deluged Keith with new supply coming on, like a disproportionate amount of new supply. So there's like five. Five things that contributed to multifamily being really tough in the last few years. And so it wasn't just people with short term debt that had challenges. It was probably just about anybody that bought a deal within an 18 month timeframe that I outlined before that just really experienced challenges, and some of those people are still in deals, right? And so let's just take a deal that's, you know, a $10 million deal with a $7 million loan. Well, that deal right now might be only worth 7 million, yeah, and that's the opportunity. So the owner that has that deal may get punched in the face, so to speak, you know, by the market, and they may lose their equity in that deal, but the borrower coming in, or the buyer coming in, like one of my mentees right now, had a deal that was listed at 11 million, and he's picking it up for seven, which is, like, at or below the current loan value. So one buyer group's loss is the new buyer group's opportunity, if that makes sense   Keith Weinhold  16:03    right? 100% there's nothing unusual at all about the mortgage rate levels that began to go higher about four years ago. The unusual part, and Brad has touched on it, is the rate of increase, with mortgage rates doubling or tripling in a short period of time, within about a year or so, but yeah, it's a great point. It's about more than the mortgage rates. It's about increasing insurance costs and increasing expenses of all types, like you talked about with the appliances there, and then, even if you were able to weather all that as an apartment building owner, with all of the supply coming on to the market, when supply exceeds demand, we know what happens to price, and we also know that you can't raise rents very much with all of this supply coming on the market, but the supply of new apartment buildings, that inflow, that wave, is beginning to die down, because builders got the memo quite a while ago that they need to stop building at such a fast pace in places like Florida and Texas and you know, Brad, there are a lot of asset classes that have been beaten up lately. We can always point to a few. You can look at Bitcoin or nfts or even commercial office space. Now those assets might bounce back, but they don't have to, because no human needs those things. But I expect apartments to bounce back because having a place to live is a primordial Maslow and human need. It's almost inevitable. In fact, shelter is at the base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. So a bounce back has almost got to happen. Yeah.   Brad Sumrok  17:46   Look, it's becoming the big word right now in politics. Right is affordability. And so when you look at affordability, if you take a median priced home in this country of say, $400,000 I don't know if that's the actual median, but maybe it's around 400 420,000 100, $420,000 yes, to buy that home. And who's going to buy a $420,000 home? It's going to be a working class family making 60 to 70,000 a year, right? They could rent a median priced apartment unit for $1,800 a month, or they could pay a 20% or a 10% down payment on a $400,000 homes, and they need 40 to 80,000 down right, or maybe less, but they still need a down payment and that p i, t i, the principal, interest, tax and insurance is going to be around $3,100 okay, so there's a $1,300 per month gap, and that's a big, big gap for that working class family. And so where are they going to live? Like we're becoming more and more of a renter nation? Keith, and the statistics that I read say that only 27% of American families can even qualify to get a mortgage, yeah, on a $400,000 home. So we're becoming more and more and more of a nation of renters by necessity. And so the demographics like look, all markets are not equal. You got to know what's going on in your market. But there are markets, ie locations, geographies that have even a higher affordability gap. You know, some markets have a 2000 a month or a $2,500 a month affordability gap. So you're going to find more and more people renting in these markets.   Keith Weinhold  19:37   Yes, there is a premium to ownership opening up that gap, and that's why we have this wave of renters that's really already begun. In about the last year, the American homeownership rate has fallen from 66% to 65% 1% doesn't sound like much, but that already means that we have 1.3 million new renters. We're going to talk to Brad some more, including about. His apartment market forecast you're listening to get rich education. Our guest is apartment King.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. We're talking about a sector we have not talked about very much lately because it's been in rather moribund condition, but we are beginning to turn the corner where there are more opportunities in apartment building investing, because it's been beaten down an awful lot. And Brad, that plays right in to your apartment forecast. So tell us about some of the highlights of your apartment forecast.   Brad Sumrok  22:38   Yeah, sure. And one of the things that I want to share with you, Keith, is that, you know, back in the peak of the market, the market peaked, say, at the end of 21 early 22 there were so many investors that were in multifamily or that wanted to be in multifamily. And the other thing that caused this so called, you know, downturn that I didn't mention before is, let's take this $10 million deal. If a property was listed at $10 million you'd literally have 30 to 40 buyer groups pursuing that deal, bidding up the price. Yeah. And so a $10 million Listing would sell for 11 and a half million Okay, now what I'm seeing is that same $10 million deal might sell for a seven to 8 million and you might be the only buyer going after the deal. Wow. And how do I know? Because you said, like, I run a an investor community and and I have active multifamily buyers, and I coach them, and I look at their deals, and this is what's happening. And the other reason I know is I sold two of my deals personally in 2025 and both of the deals that I sold, I bought in 2015 where we had 10 year fixed rate debt. So we didn't sell because we had a three year loan. We needed to sell because we had a 10 year loan due. And look, first thing I'll say is I made money, because over that 10 year period, values did go up. They peaked in 2022 and they came back down that because I bought it so long ago. That's the one lesson that I think people also want to understand, is over the long term, the values always tend to go up, but there are short term ups and downs that one would need to be aware of. But when I sold these two deals like I didn't have many buyers one deal in particular. I mean, I had eight buyers going after the deal, but only one was anywhere close to what I wanted. So I was negotiating with myself, you know, telling the buyer and his broker, hey, you know the other guys are here, and you got to come up on price and you got to come up on terms. But truthfully, I was bluffing, because I didn't have anybody that was coming up on price or coming up on terms. And so part of why I'm answering this way is when you look at the forecast, one thing that that I want people to know is that those. Of us that are in the business now and that have our pencils up, and we're underwriting deals, and we're making offers, like I used to teach Keith, don't make lowball offers, because you'll develop a reputation of being that guy or that borrower or that buyer that submits lowball offers, right? And word will get around in that market? Well, right now, like low ball offers are expected, and I would encourage people, let's just say you make an offer that whatever the deal pencils out to. So if you know how to underwrite deals correctly, and they're offering 10 million as a listing price, and you're coming up at seven or 7.5 don't be bashful to make the offer, and you may be the only buyer in the game. So that's one thing is like the competition that I'm seeing right now on the buyer side is not a lot of competition, and that's definitely shifted to a buyer's market. So people need to know that. The other thing I would say, on the macro level, is there's still a lot of uncertainty out there, and the uncertainty is kind of becoming like what I would call a new normal. You know? I'll speak for myself. When Trump was elected and at the end of 2024 I thought it was going to be amazingly well for all of us real estate investors, right? And there are some things that have been like the big, beautiful bill that restores 100% bonus depreciation like this is a really good thing, but you know, the tariffs, the immigration policies, some of the things that he's doing, you know, they have mixed impact for us and our in the economy and in real estate and in multifamily. And the thing is, when he first started doing that again, like lenders, they didn't know how to price debt, like, what's going to happen with tariffs, what's going to happen with ice what's going to happen with immigration, you know? But now that we're a year in to his second term, I can tell you a couple things. Debt is back. Lenders are lending. They're confident. Lenders are issuing debt like you can get 70 to 75% of your acquisition funded by a commercial lender. The government agencies are lending. Freddie Mac is lending. Fannie Mae is lending, and they have a mandate to lend 20% more money in 2026 than they did in 2025 so that bodes well for people that want to get, you know, affordable workforce housing, which is my specialty, also known as Class B and Class C housing. So the lenders are lending like, there's a lot of debt out there. One of the challenges is the equity. There's a lot of institutional equity. But if you're going to the retail investor who got into the business three to five years ago. They don't want to hear about your next deal right now, they're wondering about, hey, what about the deals that I'm in? Right? So one of the things that I'm doing, Keith is, and I think, you know, this is like, you know, I build up a huge investor community from 2012 to 2022 and I did it by traveling the country, speaking at conferences, sponsoring trade shows, talking about the benefits of investing in apartment buildings, how it changed my life, how it enabled me to retire from a six figure income in just three years, and how I've helped many, many other people Do the same, and also just sharing experience today, every asset class, every 10 to 15 years is going to go through a correction. And so where we're at now. And I wasn't the only one on the forecast. I brought in John Chang who is the senior intelligence officer at Marcus and millichep, one of the biggest commercial real estate firms in the country, and he presented about 20 or 30 slides that by and large were very bullish on where we're at in the market cycle. Why now is a great time to be looking at apartment buildings, a lot of the same things that I've been talking about. Prices are down. It's a buyer's market. We have a huge affordability issue. More and more people are becoming renters, and so what I'm committed to do, Keith and I don't know if I shared with you my travel schedule, like when we met each other last month, but I'm on the road every single week going to another city, talking about where I see us right now in the market, and why people should be looking at deals and making offers right now. Because to me, you know, Warren Buffett said it best. He's like, you want to be fearful when everybody else is being greedy, and you want to be greedy when everybody's being fearful. And right now, people are on the sidelines. They're waiting for some green light, like for the Wall Street Journal to come out and say, Hey, now's a good time, you know? I mean, look, Trump, just the point of the new Fed chair, right? And so we know interest rates are going to go down like that's one of his goals, and the guy that he appointed is going to lower rates. So we're looking at a future, a very near future, where we have lower rates, and lower rates is going to create more demand, again, for people that want to buy. I invest in apartments now, look, if you wait another year, I still think it's going to be a good time, but I think we have a better time right now.   Keith Weinhold  30:10   I sold one apartment building in 2022 for about $1 million and I sold another one of my apartment buildings in 2023 for about $1 million I had bought those in 2013 with 10 year balloon loans, so I was enjoying that nice fixed rate as late and as long as I could, until 2022, nine years and 2023, 10 years before the rate went up on me. But of course, my new buyer had to pay that rate, so it limited the amount that they could offer for it. However, to your point about investing for a long time horizon, I still had profits on those nine and 10 year holds, but yeah, to your point, Brad about the looser lending, this is huge. I read a summary of the latest national Multifamily Housing Council meeting, and one of the biggest takeaways that came out of that meeting is that there is abundant debt available. It's in increasingly attractive terms. And a lot of people think about mortgages, and they just think about the rates, and you should that's certainly important, but they don't think as much about the propensity for others to lend. How loose, or how tight are those standards? They're loose, yeah.   Brad Sumrok  31:25   And, I mean, look, the first deal I did in 2002 the interest rate was 6.35% the rates right now are less than that, you know, as of the date of this recording. So, you know, I always talk about a base case of a $10 million deal. It may seem large to you or to people listening, but like in my world of syndication, where we're not just looking at the real estate piece, but learning how to raise money to buy real estate so we could have a bigger property that's professionally managed and become a true business owner like Robert Kiyosaki talks about, do you want to be self employed? I tell my students, buy a six Plex. Do you want to own an apartment business by 60 units and hire a management company? So when I'm talking about this $10 million deal, you know, you can get a $7 million loan right now for probably in the mid 5% and it would be non recourse, and you could probably get three years of interest only, meaning for the first three years, you're going to have a higher cash flow. So like, this is a really good loan compared to 2021 when we could get 3% debt. It's not but remember that 3% loan was a short term loan. You know, it wasn't a 10 year fixed rate loan, it was a short term loan, and we all saw what happened with that when they raised rates so many times in such a short period. So the fixed rate debt is very competitive based on, like, the long term, 20 year average, and it's lower than it was when I started.   Keith Weinhold  32:55   Well, we've been talking about elements of your apartment market forecast, and of course, that's going to inform your Buy Box. Brad, you mentor students constantly and oftentimes we think about a Buy Box. We think about then in terms of geographic market, but as we look for an opportunity, we also might think about some other things in your Buy Box, for example, new build versus vintage build. So with all of this traveling you do, and you're in the markets, and you're informing students, and you're looking at students prospective deals as well. But tell us more about what a good buy box is for the near term in apartment buildings.   Brad Sumrok  33:36   Yeah. So look like what is in the buy box, right? So one is going to be your location. And so, you know, how do I select a good location? Just some tips and strategies around that is, I look for landlord and business friendly environments. In other words, if the tenant doesn't pay, do they get to stay or not, you know, so I like to be in market so that they don't pay, that we could legally, you know, not have them consume our product for a long period of time. So I also look at things like job growth and population growth, affordability gap. New supply is a percentage of inventory, you know, the new supply coming online in a diversified economy. So, like, you want to get your geographies nailed down. Like, where you buy matters, like, there's no substitute to I would rather pay more for a property in a location that meets that criteria than less for a property that doesn't. Yeah. So geography is important. You want to pick your property size, like, how many units, or what's the price point. Okay? And this is huge, because if you're gonna buy your own deal with your own money, which is another reason I prefer syndication. Let's say you have pick a number, 100,000 to invest. Like you can only buy a $300,000 property, two units somewhere, three units somewhere, you know. Or zero units somewhere, right, right? So if you have expanded your you know, your mind and your skill set to do a syndication 100,000 doesn't limit you to your own money, you know. And then I would say, Well, what is a great size for a first time syndicator is I would target somewhere around 60 to 80 units, and at 100,000 a unit, which is a ballpark price for maybe a nice B class property or high C Class property, and a market that meets the criteria that I outlined earlier. You know, you're looking at, say, a six to $8 million property. And so what you could do from there, Keith is, you could say, Okay, well, you know, this is why, like in my educational course, I use a $10 million property, because the numbers are easy. But even just say, Well, I'm going to do an $8 million property, you'd say, Okay, I need two to 3 million down, depending on the debt, right? And then I'm going to get a the balance in a loan, you know, because you could get a 70 to 75% loan. So then you ask, Well, where am I going to get to 2 million, right? If I have 100 I need $1.9 million and so then you got to start thinking about like, do I have access to people or work or in the neighborhood or at the community or at the church, you know, or do I go to masterminds and conferences and meetup groups like, where I saw you Keith last month, like, there's a lot of investors there with a lot of money, right? And some of them are looking to be passive investors. And so, you know, there's a whole nother conversation around, you know, raising capital. And if you can't raise capital, then you may want to bring in some people on your GP team that could help you raise capital, as long as you're following, like the SEC compliance and again, that's another discussion. That's the importance of having the buy box so you have your geography, your property size, your property class. You know, again, if you just want the new construction stuff. There's some people out there, like big name, famous people, that are highlighting their 800 unit a class deals that they're buying. And of course, like you or I that are just getting started, can't go buy that deal. And so why? You know the institutions are going after the large A class properties in the best areas. And so where I've made my niche Keith, and what I would recommend most people start is start with the older vintage properties, start with the 1970s properties, and then maybe work your way up to the 1980s and 1990s properties. And why is this is because the institutions don't want those properties, and they're still able to be professionally managed. Like, if you go and buy 100 unit C Class property, as long as it's not in a bad neighborhood with, like, high crime or whatever like that. Like, these are very honest, hard working, working class people that need a clean, safe and functional place to live, and you'll be able to get better returns on a C or A B class, also known as like the cap rate. And again, that's another discussion, but you'll be able to get a better return on an older vintage property than you would on a vintage property. And you're not competing with the institutions, but you're also not competing with the mom and pops, because the mom and pops are going to take that 100,000 they have and go buy a duplex. You know, they're not going to want to syndicate a deal. They're not going to want to have partners. They're not going to want to deal with the so called complexities of buying a company. And that's what buying an apartment community is, Keith, it's buying a company. You're buying a business that has an income stream already being generated those customers, they're called residents. They're called tenants, you know, but if you just go upstream from buying real estate or buying an apartment building, we're buying a cash flow producing business that's existing, that's in place, and then our job is to figure out how to run it better and more efficiently. You the   Keith Weinhold  39:04   You the listener, you might have access to, say, 500k in equity that's sitting in your existing properties. And some of these numbers that Brad and I are throwing around are rather large, $10 billion but one of the biggest epiphanies that I think your students have is that doesn't need to be much of your own money. We're talking about what's called the capital stack to take down a $10 million apartment building. Maybe you borrow seven and a half million of that. Maybe you raise 2 million of that from your other investors in the syndication, and then you put your 500k into the deal, and there you have $10 million in order to make that purchase. But yes, that does involve a learning curve and the SEC rules and all that. But the big takeaway here is you don't need much of your own money. You can leverage other people's money, even for the down payment. And Brad, you're also an expert at showing people how to pay almost. Zero tax, which is another discussion unto itself, but some of your students start with zero experience, and within a few short years, I mean, you've had hundreds of people that have either retired early or increased their net worth by over a million dollars. A lot of success stories,   Brad Sumrok  40:17   yeah, look, I mean, I started with no previous real estate investing experience. My experience was going to college, studying hard, getting decent grades, becoming an engineer, you know, being fired once, being laid off once, and reading Robert Kiyosaki books that motivated me to to go out and seek specialized education. And I think it was Jim Rohn that said formal education, like degree could get you a job, and specialized education like you can get in a conference or a mastermind or a mentorship program. And that's also how I started. I went to a weekend workshop back in 2001 and I bought the mentorship program. And boy, I'm glad I did, because, you know, that's how I got into my first 62 units. So you don't need to have experience. What you need to have is a powerful reason, a powerful why? Why do I want to be financially free? Like apartments is just a vehicle. I didn't choose apartments because I love departments. I choose departments because they cash flow, they go up in value, and you have amazing depreciation benefits.   Keith Weinhold  41:23   Yeah, I'm the same. I don't love apartments in a way. I don't love real estate. I love what these things do for me    Brad Sumrok  41:30   exactly. Yeah? So, like, you don't have to have experience. In the other category, of people that have come into my community that don't have apartment experience, a lot of them have real estate experience, Keith, that are doing, like, single family homes, short term rentals, or maybe smaller, multi unit deals. And they listen to a show like this, and they're like, huh, I want to transition from doing these smaller types of assets with my own money and self managing to scaling into a syndication.   Keith Weinhold  42:03   Brad has taken countless people from get rich education to got rich education. His core values are faith, finance, fitness, family and fulfillment. He is committed to helping people experience not just financial success, but personal fulfillment, purpose, contribution, freedom and Brad and his investor community have contributed over $1 million to charity. Is really the person you want to learn from if you want to think about going bigger with multifamily apartment buildings. This has been great, Brad. Let our audience know how they can connect with you and learn more?   Brad Sumrok  42:42   Yeah, sure. So I would say this is where I should just be very clear here, okay, but I'm gonna give a couple options, because that's what I'm so of course, there's a website which is my first and last name.com, B, R, A, D, S, U, M, R, O, k, for those of you on social media, I respond to my own social so you'll find me again. B, R, A, D, S, U, M, R, O, K, on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook.   Keith Weinhold  43:13   Brad, it's been so valuable. It seems like American apartment buildings are in for redemption story here. It's been great having you back on the show.   Keith Weinhold  43:29   Brad and I both emphasize physical fitness, and we chatted about that a good bit when we were together last month. I think he looks better than me. To summarize, the reasons for this historic collapse in apartment building values. It was the combination of soaring interest rates, massive inflation, spiking insurance costs, construction soared, and it created an oversupply, and that oversupply still is not absorbed. In fact, according to the outlet apartment list, the National multifamily vacancy rate recently hit 7.2% that's the highest in the history of the index, which dates back to 2017 and that's chiefly due to apartment oversupply. Have apartments really hit the bottom? Brad just said, we're at or near the bottom, and it's a good time to be gearing up as far as what's coming. To give you an idea of new apartment supply, what takes about two years from construction start to completion. And now you can't just have all US apartment construction come to a complete stop. You have to keep people working. And there are almost 400 MSAs in the United States, so you couldn't coordinate a complete ceasing of construction across every area. So how about the level of new construction starts in apartment units today, and the way that HUD counts it is the number of units started in buildings of five plus units the recent peak. Was about 600,000 annually in 2023 and today it's closer to 400,000 there it is that slowing pace of new apartment construction. If you jump into multifam, be careful of properties with deferred maintenance, because understand that you have a lot of underfunded owners Now Brad can tell you specifically what to look out for his rat race to retirement event is March 28 and 29th in Dallas. It's a two day hands on workshop. You'll learn how to find apartment deals, how to underwrite deals, how to raise capital management and your exit. Discover how you can retire in five years or less by owning apartments again. His website is Brad sumrock.com    Keith Weinhold  45:49   coming up on future episodes here on the get rich education podcast. We're about to go on a run. The next stretch of GRE is loaded. We've got fresh topics with some game changing monolog content that I'm going to share with you new guests, distinguished experts, we're going to break down an innovative way to sell properties that could completely change how you think about your exit strategy of the 50 US states. I'm going to discuss some awful states to invest in, including ones with population loss. On another episode, a distinguished subject matter expert and I are going to dive deep on does America really have a housing shortage, not in apartments which are oversupplied, but is there a shortage in the one to four unit space? That's our topic, because you probably heard contradictory information in the media about whether there's a shortage or not, and then some outlets say there's a housing shortage of 2 million units. Others, 10 million. They're all over the place. We're going to sort it out on an upcoming episode. Does America really have a housing shortage? Then the youngest guest to ever appear on the show will be with us. He's a 19 year old college student that has a real estate investing related major, and since last year, he and I have befriended each other. He was born in about 2006 so it'll be interesting to see how he views the investing world and what they teach him about real estate investing in college today, he is probably the most impressive teenager that I've ever met in my life.

Rising inflation has turned everyday expenses into a constant source of stress, leaving millions of people stuck living paycheck to paycheck and wondering if they'll ever feel truly "okay" with money. While traditional budgeting plans promise control, they often deliver guilt and overwhelm instead. That's why I'm excited to be joined by Mike Michalowicz, bestselling author of 11 financial books, including the mega-bestseller Profit First, to talk about his newest book, The Money Habit: The Worry-Free Way to Financial Independence. Mike's helped over a million people build real financial peace, and in this conversation, he breaks down what "financial independence" actually means and why the "financial freedom" fantasy can leave you feeling disappointed. We talk about why most people are naturally wired to spend their paycheck fast (and the surprising behavioral science behind it), why budgeting fails for so many people, and the simple "behavioral intercept" that makes managing money feel almost automatic. Mike walks through his foundational account system—how to split your money into clear, purpose-driven buckets so you always know what you can spend, what you're saving, and what's already protected. And make sure you listen until the end, because Mike explains how to get started even if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck or drowning in credit card debt that instantly creates clarity, control, and momentum without requiring you to become a "money person" overnight.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The Money Habit For Financial Independence "Never Worry" (About Managing Money) Why These Methods Work for Anyone Making More Money Doesn't Solve Problems Why We're Wired To Spend Paychecks The Six Foundational Bank Accounts A Tip For Your Mini-Luxury Account Why Budgeting Fails Most People How To Get Started If You're Broke Tips for Tackling Debt Issues How to Address Your Biggest Financial Concerns Where To Get Mike's New Book, The Money Habit Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/623 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

If you struggle with sleep, pain, or anxiety, you've probably tried many medications and sleeping pills only to end up frustrated by side effects, poor results, and thinking that you're treating symptoms instead of actually feeling better. That's why I'm excited to welcome back Joe Sheehey, founder of Cured Nutrition and a former aerospace engineer who left his corporate career at Lockheed Martin to improve the lives of millions of people. Joe's path to entrepreneurship was influenced by his own mental health battles, a life-saving turning point in college, and a growing conviction that there has to be a better, more holistic approach to healing than the medications most doctors prescribe. Joe breaks down what cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, and low-dose THC actually do in the body and why the proper dosage is the difference between improving versus feeling anxious and turned off. We talk about how the stigma that clouds people's minds about the health benefits from cannabis keeps people from exploring options that could genuinely help them, and why responsible, non-intoxicating products are creating an alternative path for millions of people. And make sure you listen until the very end, because Joe explains why the government has become a major threat to the full-spectrum hemp industry, why responsible brands are being swept up in unregulated high-dose products, and what Joe is doing to protect access through a new advocacy effort to save the industry. If you're cannabis curious or simply looking for a better way to support your physical health, mental health and optimize your sleep, this episode will be an eye-opener and hopefully give you the confidence to try it for yourself.

Kyleigh Tolman and Keaton Ross are the powerhouse sister duo behind Klever Kidz Academy in rural Southeast Oklahoma. With three centers and over 300 children served, Kyleigh and Keaton have built something deeply rooted in family, community, and intentional leadership.   During their chat with Kris, they share how they've infused fun, core values, and heart into their culture, from heart-shaped tattoos with their leadership team to parent survival kits and walkout-proof staff meetings.

What if your darkest moments could become your greatest breakthroughs? In this jaw-dropping episode, Hal Elrod—best-selling author of The Miracle Morning—reveals the unfiltered story behind his miraculous life. From dying for six minutes in a car crash to beating a rare, aggressive cancer with a 30% survival rate, Hal opens up about the moments that could have destroyed him—but instead defined him. You'll hear how the death of his baby sister planted the seed for a life of purpose, why discipline without identity won't last, and how your adversity might just be the preparation for your assignment.

If you've ever doubted yourself, struggled to stay consistent, or felt stuck in your personal brand journey… this is the episode you didn't know you needed. You'll learn: The mindset shift that helped Hal walk again after being told he never would. The practical framework behind the S.A.V.E.R.S. method—and how to stick with it. Why who you become matters more than what you achieve. How to build a personal brand that endures—and changes lives. This isn't just inspiration—it's your wake-up call.

If you've been feeling emotionally drained from relationship conflict or disagreeing with people that you love, this episode is for you. Despite how technology and social media have made it incredibly easy to stay connected with family, friends, and our communities, many people feel more divided and disconnected than ever. That's why I'm thrilled to introduce you to Kelsey Blahnik, a clinical social worker and therapist who works on the front lines of emotional and relational tension. From families and friendships to workplaces, in our increasingly divided political culture, Kelsey helps people navigate conflict without losing themselves or the people they care about. Kelsey is the creator and author of The And Way: Assertive Peacemaking in a Divided World, a powerful therapeutic framework that challenges conventional behavior. She explains that most of us believe we have only two options in conflict—fight or flight—when, in reality, there's nuance to consider when choosing the best path forward. We explore how to set boundaries without burning bridges, speak your truth without escalating tension, and how to hold both accountability and compassion at the same time. If polarized relationships, "either/or" thinking, and day-to-day conversations are adding stress to your life, this episode will give you a practical way to navigate conflict with clarity, self-respect, and inner peace.

If you've ever felt trapped in your own thoughts, frustrated by repeating emotional patterns, or exhausted from chasing happiness that never quite lasts, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about personal growth. As today's guest reveals, a lot of our suffering doesn't come from our circumstances—it comes from the unconscious beliefs that shape how we experience reality. Aaron Abke is a spiritual teacher, founder of 4D University, and the author of The Three Beliefs of Ego: A Sufferer's Guide to Freedom. With a background in theology, a masters degree in biblical studies, and millions of followers drawn to his thought-provoking teachings, Aaron offers a rare ability to bridge psychology, spirituality, and ancient wisdom in a way that's both deeply grounded and radically freeing. In our conversation, Aaron breaks down the three (3) core ego beliefs and explains how they quietly drive anxiety and inner conflict. We explore why happiness rooted in outcomes often falls short, how ego resists reality, and why true peace begins when we stop fighting life as it is. If you're ready to leave your mental struggles in the past and experience a deeper sense of inner peace, this episode offers a powerful new perspective. Enjoy!

As the digital world of AI accelerates faster than ever, it's tempting to automate, optimize, and outsource nearly every part of our lives. But what if the path we're on is, ironically, pulling us further away from a meaningful life and genuine happiness?  In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Ryan Levesque to explore a powerful, yet contrarian concept he calls Return to Real—and why it may be the thing we need most when AI is making us feel more disconnected than ever before. Ryan is a renowned entrepreneur, author, and creator of the ASK Method, who has built and scaled several successful companies. His perspective weaves together business strategies, neuroscience, ecology, and spirituality to challenge how we've come to define success and what leads to true happiness and fulfillment. In our conversation, Ryan breaks down three (3) transformative shifts for living well in the age of AI. He explains why the best things in life don't scale, why optimizing for oxytocin is more important than chasing dopamine, and why reconnecting with nature restores clarity, creativity, and purpose.  If you've been feeling overwhelmed or disconnected in the digital world that's changing faster than ever, this episode is an invitation to return to what's real.

Julie is joined by Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning and co-author of The Miracle Morning After 50, for a deeply honest and expansive conversation about acceptance, resilience, gratitude, and redefining what it means to thrive in the second half of life. Hal shares personal stories of survival, including his near-fatal car accident, cancer journey, and the spiritual principles that carried him through life's most challenging seasons.

Those cycles are hard to break, and it often feels like no matter how hard you try, you end up repeating the same behaviors, sabotaging your goals with limiting beliefs.
