Are your goals driving you—or draining you? In this month's sit-down with my brother Brendon Burchard, we break open something rarely talked about but absolutely critical if you're chasing success: the difference between being committed to your goals and being attached to them. We're not here to dish out motivational fluff—this is a raw conversation about mastering presence, building true rhythm in your life, and not letting your need for results rob you of your ability to perform at your best. Brendon and I talk about how most people get lost in the micro—obsessing over metrics, routines, and outcomes—while completely missing the bigger picture. Goals aren't the problem; attachment is. I share the metaphor of a pro golfer who misses an easy putt—not because he lacks skill, but because he's mentally fast-forwarding to what it means if he makes or misses. And in life, just like on the course, the moment you get needy, you drop your frequency. We also dive into what I've learned through experience and faith—how the real shift came when I started surrendering the harvest to God. Your job is to plant the seeds, do the work, show up—but the outcome? That's not yours to control. I want you to think about this: who are you becoming? Because your state of being will take you further than any checklist or protocol ever will. Brendon and I just wrapped an unforgettable Ultra VIP event in Austin, where we went deep with a small group of high achievers on topics like these. If you're ready to experience this level of connection and transformation in person, check out Ultra.VIP for more details. Key Takeaways: Why presence matters more than pressure in moments of execution The difference between being needy for a goal and committed to a vision How “working the rhythm” can outperform chasing the result Why surrendering the outcome increases your ability to perform The identity shift from achiever to warrior—and how it changes everything What it really means to move in a direction instead of chasing random goals If this hits home for you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Max out.  

If you keep telling yourself you're not good enough, not ready, or not capable—your momentum will stall before it ever truly begins. In this energizing episode, Brendon Burchard reveals the hidden cost of always being “on” and why never pausing can actually diminish your creativity, joy, and performance. You'll learn why releasing tension, letting go of mental baggage, and taking time to reflect aren't luxuries—they're essential habits for high achievers. Brendon also walks you through how taking strategic breaks isn't about slowing down your goals—it's about setting higher expectations for the energy, clarity, and alignment you bring to them. You'll discover: How to break free from negative inner dialogue that kills progress Why recalibration and growth require self-awareness and conscious intention How to realign your focus and energy with what truly drives fulfillment and success _____________________________________ If you're ready to silence the self-doubt and reignite your momentum, this episode will help you make that crucial breakthrough. Listen now to activate your best self. _____________________________________ 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!

What if anxiety wasn't the enemy—but the invitation?In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Humble The Poet, and we have a real, raw conversation about one of the most common challenges we all face—anxiety. But we don't treat it like a monster hiding in the closet. Instead, we explore it for what it really is: a signal, not a sentence. Humble brings a refreshing, honest lens to what it means to feel anxious in today's world. He says anxiety isn't about danger—it's about uncertainty. It's not that something's wrong with you. It's that you've been conditioned to believe you can't handle life's hard moments. But guess what? You can. “Anxiety is when your intelligence grows faster than your courage,” he says. That line hit me. We're overthinking ourselves into paralysis, while our bodies are screaming for action, for movement, for breath. We also dig into how society—especially social media—is tricking us into thinking we're not enough. That we're missing out. That our value is tied to our achievements. But your worth? It's not on the other side of likes, lists, or trophies. And when Humble said, “The people that matter most don't care about your achievements,” I thought of my mom, my kids, and how true that really is. You're not broken. You don't need to avoid hard things. In fact, you get stronger by facing them—again and again. The goal isn't to be fearless. The goal is to shorten the time between when fear shows up and when you respond with clarity and grace. That's equanimity. That's emotional fitness. That's the real edge. Key Takeaways:• Why anxiety is not the enemy—it's the alarm pointing to unaddressed challenges.• The difference between reacting and responding—and how to close that gap.• How social media fuels our anxiety and why stepping away might be the best move.• The myth of being “too needy” and the truth about our need for community.• How envy reveals what you truly value—and what to do with that insight.• Why your worth isn't tied to your most recent achievement.This episode isn't just for those battling anxiety—it's for anyone who's ever questioned their worth, struggled with overthinking, or felt alone. You're not. And this conversation will remind you of that. Let's keep growing together. Max out.

A FWACATA Podcast Episode for the Day After You Ate Too Much and Did Too LittleSo, it's the Tuesday after Memorial Day, and your inbox is screaming louder than a Florida car alarm. You're bloated with barbecue, vaguely sunburned, and trying to figure out if that leftover potato salad is still safe to eat.Welcome back. Let's talk about why doing nothing might be the best thing you did all weekend.In this latest episode of the FWACATA Podcast, I'm here not with some big motivational speech or self-help checklist, but a gentle reminder that staring at a wall and scratching your HUEVOS might be exactly what you needed. (That's not just a metaphor, by the way.)A confessional on procrastination and creative paralysisFurniture sanding and burrito-induced clarityThoughts on fasting, fasting-like-starving, and why Monday cereal tastes like repentanceA plea for productive nothingnessOh, and my live Kickstarter campaign (yeah, that's happening too)We live in a world where rest feels like cheating. Like if you're not constantly producing, planning, or promoting, you're falling behind some imaginary race that nobody wins. But here's the kicker: sometimes the best thing you can do for your brain, your art, and your sanity is to just... stop.Stop scrolling.Stop forcing it.Stop making yourself feel guilty for needing a break.Look at the wall. Stare at a tree. Breathe.Because what feels like procrastination might actually be your body's way of telling you, “Hey, genius, slow down or I'm pulling the plug.”When you're burnt out, even scanning comic pages feels like too much. But sometimes, doing something unrelated—like sanding furniture or making the best sandwich of your life—gives your brain the reboot it desperately needed.Eventually, the burner turns back on. You just need to let it cool for a second.Look, I'd love to scream from the rooftops about it, but it's Tuesday and most of you are still trying to remember what day it is.But if you want to support the next issue of the FWACATA anthology, now's the time.

Welcome to another short and empowering episode, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week... Today, we explore a powerful quote by C.S. Lewis reminding us that while we can’t change our past, we have full power over how our story ends: “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” Here are three key takeaways you can expect from this episode: Why you are never behind—and how to show yourself compassion when starting over. A simple journaling prompt to help you get clear on the ending you want to write. How taking just one tiny brave step can shift your entire trajectory. Take this opportunity to learn how to reset your mindset and take purposeful action toward your dream life—knowing that change begins exactly where you are now. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in. So please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream

Don't let your emotions rule you. ..

What if your life had an expiration date printed on it—and you just couldn't see it? This episode is a wake-up call. Not about chasing more, but about making what we already have count. I introduce a concept that's reshaping how I live: Quality Time Remaining. It's not about how long we live—it's about how we spend the precious moments we have left. I've been on this group text with some close friends—successful, driven guys—and we've started sending each other snapshots of real-life moments that matter. The ones that count. And I realized, I haven't sent one yet. That hit me. We grind so hard for the future that we forget to live today. The trouble is, we think we have time. We plan, we postpone, we sacrifice the now for the someday—and sometimes, that someday never comes. I've had health scares, lost people I love, and seen too many “somedays” stolen by surprise. That's why this message matters. It's not about slowing down—it's about becoming intentional with the time that really counts. You'll hear me share stories—some personal, some painful, all real. This isn't a theory or a mindset hack. It's a shift in perspective that could literally change how you live. If you're waiting for the right time to make memories, it's already here. Start your shorter list. Not your bucket list—the little moments that matter now. Whether it's a walk, a conversation, a game with your kid… they're priceless. The takeaway is simple: your life isn't just measured in years. It's measured in memories. The people around you deserve more than just your time—they deserve the best of you, fully present. So do you. And if you're the kind of person who's been grinding, achieving, and waiting for later… it's time to wake up. Later might not come. The milk of your life tastes better now than it ever will. Savor it. Key Takeaways: How to reframe your life around Quality Time Remaining Why being busy can rob you of what truly matters The difference between intentional living and life drifting How to start your own “shorter list” of moments that matter Why presence, not productivity, is what creates lasting memories You have more time today than you might tomorrow—spend it like it matters. Because it does.  

If you feel burned out, distracted, or like you're constantly running on empty, it might not be a motivation problem—it might be that you've forgotten how to take a real break. In this energizing episode, Brendon Burchard reveals the hidden cost of always being “on” and why never pausing can actually diminish your creativity, joy, and performance. You'll learn why releasing tension, letting go of mental baggage, and taking time to reflect aren't luxuries—they're essential habits for high achievers. Brendon also walks you through how taking strategic breaks isn't about slowing down your goals—it's about setting higher expectations for the energy, clarity, and alignment you bring to them. You'll discover: The psychological and physical damage of never resetting How releasing tension and reflecting with intention can reignite motivation Why your next breakthrough may come only after your next break _____________________________________ If you want to avoid burnout, reconnect with purpose, and step back into your power, this episode is your call to pause with purpose.

Is Your Team Truly Committed—Or Just Chasing Goals? What separates teams that succeed from those that just survive? It's not talent. It's not resources. It's commitment. This week, I sit down with my great friend Jon Gordon, and we got real about what it takes to build a team that doesn't just perform, but thrives under pressure. Jon's new book, The Seven Commitments of a Great Team, is more than theory—it's the roadmap every leader, entrepreneur, and family builder needs. We talked about why goals aren't enough. Everybody's got goals. But not everybody is committed. Jon broke it down beautifully—commitment is about action. It's about the daily disciplines that align with your vision. Want to make a million dollars this year? That won't happen without commitments to how you show up, how you serve, and how you lead your team. “Commitment is going to cost you something,” Jon said. “You have to ask yourself—what are you willing to give, and what are you willing to give up?” One of the biggest takeaways? The power of connection and love on a team. That might sound soft, but it's not. Love is what makes great teams fight for each other. It's what transforms a locker room, a boardroom, or a household. “You'll never have commitment without connection,” Jon said—and he's right. If your team's not committed to each other, they won't be committed to the mission. And when adversity hits, that's when the cracks show. We also touched on something every leader needs to hear: emotional fatigue. Carrying the weight of your business, your team, your family—it gets heavy. If you lose your why, you lose your fire. “The crime isn't that the passion ran out—it's that you stayed around after it did,” Jon shared. That line stopped me in my tracks. Leaders, you've got to reignite your mission or risk slowly fading out. Key Takeaways: The difference between having goals and living with commitment Why devotion—not discipline—creates lasting change How prayer and purposeful rituals can unlock creative breakthroughs The role of connection and love in high-performance teams How to lead through adversity without losing your energy or edge This one hit home for me on a personal level, and I know it will for you too. Go grab The Seven Commitments of a Great Team. It's a game-changer. MAX OUT.  

If life feels chaotic and you're tired of feeling off-track, it's not just the uncertainty—it's the lack of intentionality that's stealing your momentum. In this powerful episode, Brendon Burchard shares how to navigate turbulent times with clarity, courage, and self-leadership. You'll learn why randomness in your thoughts, habits, and decisions is not just ineffective—it's actually rude to your goals, your relationships, and your future. Brendon dives deep into the mindset and strategies high performers use to stay grounded and purposeful, even when everything around them feels uncertain. You'll discover: Why you must eliminate randomness and recommit to meaningful structure How asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness—and how to do it well The role of radical self-awareness in recalibrating during uncertain times _____________________________________ If you're ready to stop reacting to chaos and start showing up with intention and power, this episode is your guide to realigning and rising. Listen now and reclaim your clarity in the face of uncertainty. _____________________________________ 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!

Welcome to another short and empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week... Today, we explore a powerful reminder from Angela N. Blount about how unexpected changes can lead us somewhere magical... “Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.” Three key takeaways you can expect: How to quickly shift your mindset when life doesn't go to plan. The power of reframing so-called ‘mistakes’ into meaningful redirections. Five practices to help you embrace detours and stay open to life’s surprises. Take this opportunity to learn how to turn frustration into discovery, and use those moments when things go “wrong” as invitations to explore something new. It's a great reminder that life’s magic often happens outside the plan—and those unplanned moments might just bring you closer to your dream life. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in. So please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful week …and remember, it all starts with a dream

Now is all you have...

What are you holding on to that just doesn't fit anymore? In this episode, I take you inside a real moment from my life—a full-on spring cleaning of my closet that turned into something way bigger. As I started tossing out old clothes, I realized I've been hanging on to things that no longer serve me—beliefs, habits, even dreams that don't fit who I am today. This episode isn't just about getting rid of stuff; it's about clearing space in your life so you can breathe, grow, and step into your next season with clarity and intention. We're talking about more than just clothes. I challenge you to look at your relationships, your routines, even your regrets. Some of these things have just been “in your closet” so long, you forgot to ask if they still fit. Maybe they did once, maybe they helped you survive or succeed—but they're not meant to come with you now. And on the flip side, there might be something beautiful you've forgotten that still fits just right. You just couldn't see it through the clutter. This is your invitation to get ruthless, get honest, and start fresh. I'll walk you through how to audit your life—what to keep, what to toss, and what might just need a little tailoring. I even share a personal revelation I had about something I've carried for decades—“hurry”—and why I've finally decided to let it go. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just disconnected, this might be the message you've been waiting for. Your next level is waiting—it just needs room. Key Takeaways: How to identify what in your life no longer fits—relationships, beliefs, habits, even goals Why holding on to old emotions and regrets robs you of your peace A simple framework: Keep, toss, or tailor—what belongs in your next season? The surprising power of physical decluttering to reveal internal clutter Ed's personal realization about letting go of “hurry” to embrace peace and presence You deserve a life where everything in your closet fits, flatters, or feels like you. If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive. Period. End of story. God bless you. Max out.  

If you've been feeling stuck in life but can't quite figure out why, it's likely because you've been surviving on detachment instead of presence—and it's draining your hope without you even realizing it. In this powerful episode, Brendon Burchard helps you uncover the hidden reasons you feel stuck, unmotivated, or numb, even when you think you've been doing the work. If past pain has kept you in protection mode, it's time to break free and learn how to reconnect with the present, reignite your inner fire, and start moving forward with confidence and clarity. You'll discover: Why unresolved emotional hurt quietly steals your ambition and optimism How to recondition your mindset to escape the loop of stagnation The difference between avoidance and true peace—and how to choose presence _____________________________________ If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally gain real momentum, this episode is your wake-up call. Listen now to start the shift from stuck to soaring. _____________________________________ 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!

What if living to 180 isn't about Hacks, but about Healing? In this conversation, I sit down with my friend Dave Asprey, the godfather of biohacking, to uncover what might be the most important conversation we've ever had on this show. And I don't say that lightly. You know Dave for pushing the envelope on longevity, nutrition, and performance—but what we got into here, this is the stuff that actually sets you free. We talk about how every single one of us is born with the capacity for intuition—a gut knowing that transcends logic—and how most of us have let our ego, emotional baggage, and mental chatter completely drown it out. Dave breaks down the five F's that drive human behavior: Fear, Food, Fertility, Friendship, and Forgiveness—and how forgiveness, more than anything else, gives you energy, peace, and power. “Forgiveness is simply becoming non-reactive to something that was still causing you pain,” Dave says. That line hit me hard. We also dig into the practical side—because if there's no strategy, I'm not interested. Dave shares how to train your intuition like a muscle, what happens to your body when you forgive, and why practices like meditation, breathwork, and even brief, intentional exposure to pain (what he calls BICEP) can radically change how you show up in your life. This isn't woo-woo stuff—it's actionable and measurable, and he's got the brainwave data to back it up. Dave's new book, Heavily Meditated, might be his most important one yet. Not because it's flashy, but because it gives you the tools to clear the blocks—emotional, mental, even generational—that are stealing your energy and keeping you from your purpose. If you're biohacking your body but ignoring your spirit, you're leaving the most important gains on the table. Key Takeaways: Why forgiveness isn't a feeling—it's a performance enhancer How to recognize and build your intuitive muscle The biology behind “female intuition” (you'll want to hear this) How meditation actually rewires your nervous system Why exposing yourself to pain builds motivation and emotional resilience What to do when your heart rate variability just won't budge A surprising connection between altered states and intimacy Let me tell you something: it's not just about living longer—it's about living better. With more joy, more clarity, and more freedom. That's what we're after. Max out.

If you feel like you've been stuck in the same place for too long, it's probably because your daily habits aren't aligned with the person you're trying to become. In this powerful episode, Brendon Burchard dives deep into the life-altering truth that your choices shape your destiny — and those choices stem directly from how aware you are of yourself, your patterns, and your values. You'll learn how to harness the power of self-awareness to make better decisions, understand the consequences of your actions before they play out, and step into the kind of intentional living that leads to real success and fulfillment. You'll discover: How to increase self-awareness to gain clarity about who you are and where you're headed Why appreciation for your current experience unlocks peace and momentum How radical acceptance helps you stay resilient and grounded during challenges _____________________________________ If you're ready to elevate your mindset and consistently grow into your best self, these habits are your blueprint. Tune in now and start building the personal growth routine that will change everything. _____________________________________ 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.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 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!

Kickstarting Your Week: A Soundtrack for a Holistic MondayBangles +Just Another Manic Monday" by The Bangles: This 80s classic perfectly captures that feeling of the work week looming after a nice weekend. It's got a catchy melody but also hints at a desire for something more than the daily grind."Monday, Monday" by The Mamas & the Papas: This sunshine pop tune, despite its title, carries a touch of melancholy. It speaks to the bittersweet feeling of Monday arriving and the weekend fading into memory.Grandpa Bill Asks:Thinking about these two very different "Monday" songs, what personal rituals or mindset shifts help you transition from the weekend energy into the weekday flow?Both songs touch on the experience of Monday, but with different vibes. What aspects of your own well-being – mental, emotional, or even physical – do you find are most affected by the arrival of a new week, and how do you nurture those areas?Grandpa Bill Asks What's Your MOOD MUSIC:

Yeah yeah, I've been off the radar for a couple weeks. Life happened. A few things exploded. Some of them metaphorically, some maybe more literally (I'll let the insurance company figure it out). And let me tell you—it's hard to hit “record” on a podcast when you're busy taping the ceiling back to the roof of your life.But here we are, and guess what?It's another Monday Motivation from FWACATA, baby.This week's episode isn't clean or pretty or filtered through an inspirational quote over a misty lake. This one is duct tape and determination. This one is about being too broke to buy gesso, too tired to function, and still too stubborn to quit.Because here's the thing nobody tells you with a straight face:You have to be belligerent about your goals.Not cute. Not chill. Belligerent.You have to make art like it owes you money. You have to write like you're on a deadline that's three days past. You have to keep showing up even when the algorithm ghosted you, your bank account is playing the “let's see what overdraft feels like” game, and you've had enough of the news to want to just live in a pillow fort permanently.And yeah, that's the vibe of this episode. It's real. It's personal. It's me figuring out how to keep making comics while staring down a mountain of bills, disillusionment, and the nagging sense that the world's turning into a Dali painting made of garbage.But I'm still here.Still drawing. Still podcasting. Still putting issue four of the anthology together. Still helping out other creators when I can. Still yelling into the void—only now, it echoes back in stereo.And I'm inviting you in.Because maybe you've felt it too. That freeze. That “what's the point?” moment. That tired-of-mediocrity art show hangover. That soul itch that says, “You're supposed to be doing more than scrolling through disappointment.”If that's you? This one's for you.We talk Kickstarters. Backerkit. GoFundMe karma. Why mediocre art keeps getting hung in galleries. Why really good artists still need someone to walk up and ask, “What are you trying to say with this?”And yeah, I admit I probably need to ask myself that more, too.But in the end? This episode is a reminder that being a little crazy, a little loud, a little obsessed—might just be the only way to survive and thrive right now.

Never doubt your place...

What if the worst thing ever said to you wasn't just a memory—but a scar that shaped who you are? In this episode, I'm opening up about a tough truth that most of us are either living with—or have dished out ourselves: anger and emotional volatility. Whether you're on the receiving end of it or you're the one dishing it out, today's message is a wake-up call. I'm not just sharing concepts—I'm pulling straight from my own story, from childhood scars to leadership missteps, and how I finally learned that the strongest people don't intimidate—they protect. You deserve relationships, workplaces, and a life where you feel safe to be your full self. We're not tiptoeing around the issue. We're calling it out. If someone in your life makes you feel small, anxious, or afraid to speak freely—you've got to draw the line. Because you're not just allowing it…you're teaching them it's okay. And that's not love. That's not leadership. That's not life. I'm also giving you the tools—real, practical habits—that have helped me move from a reactive man to a regulated one. And if you're the one struggling with anger, here's your moment. I'm not judging you—I've been you. I know what it means to erupt, to regret, to hurt the people you love most. But you can flip the switch. You can become the kind of person your family, your team, and your future self can count on. No more band-aids over bullet wounds. It's time to make real change. Key Takeaways: How to recognize emotional abuse disguised as “passion” or “leadership” The difference between a strong man and a scared one hiding behind anger Why the contrast of “high highs” in toxic relationships can deceive you Concrete steps to regulate anger before it destroys your identity and others How your emotional patterns directly impact your kids and future generations The one trait every safe, authentic, high-performing relationship has You were born to do something great. And that starts with living a life where you're safe to be you. It's not just about love—it's about respect, belief, and emotional safety. Let's stop normalizing anger, and start creating environments that heal. Max out.

If you keep wondering why your life isn't changing, it's likely because you haven't mastered the one skill that transforms everything: self-awareness. In this powerful episode, Brendon Burchard dives deep into the life-altering truth that your choices shape your destiny — and those choices stem directly from how aware you are of yourself, your patterns, and your values. You'll learn how to harness the power of self-awareness to make better decisions, understand the consequences of your actions before they play out, and step into the kind of intentional living that leads to real success and fulfillment. You'll discover: Why self-awareness is the master key to lasting transformation How every choice creates a ripple effect that shapes your future Why increasing your awareness is the true path to power and peace _____________________________________ If you want to level up your life, it's time to stop coasting and start choosing — with clarity, consciousness, and courage. Listen now to learn the mindset shift that will finally move you forward. _____________________________________ 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.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ 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 anxiety isn't just a condition—what if it's your culture? This week, I sit down with Dr. Martha Beck, and we get real about something that most of us don't even realize we're living with every day: anxiety. Not just the clinical kind—but the kind that's been baked into our lives from childhood, from trauma, from a society that rewards burnout and worships productivity. I brought Martha on because I've been doing this work on myself. I've been noticing how I've lived in a near-constant state of stress, and the truth is, a lot of you are probably wired the same way. Martha breaks down how anxiety forms, how it's normalized in our environment, and why it thrives in our left brain—the part obsessed with control and fear. She explains how we mistake anxiety for productivity, and how our bodies carry the toll of it for decades. But here's what blew me away: she shows us how the antidote isn't force, but curiosity. That if you can activate that right side of the brain, the part that tracks instead of panics, the part that seeks instead of flees, you can start living from peace—and still be successful. We walked through her Perfect Day visualization technique, talked about accessing creativity through calm, and why kindness—especially toward yourself—is the true starting line for transformation. Not the kind of kindness that coddles you, but the kind that treats your anxious self like a scared horse: steady, soothing, safe. And you'll hear what happened when I applied these tools myself. I've been sharper, more productive, and less exhausted. That's real. This episode isn't just theory—it's a playbook. I want you to be able to say, “I am meant to live in peace.” And believe it. Because it's not either peace or productivity—you can have both. You were never meant to grind your way to worth. You were built for joy, creativity, and ease. Let's start giving ourselves permission to return to that. Key Takeaways: How anxiety becomes “normal” through trauma and culture The difference between fear and anxiety—and why it matters Why choosing peace doesn't mean sacrificing success Tools like the “Perfect Day” and “Sanity Quilt” to reconnect with purpose The role of curiosity in calming anxiety and boosting creativity How to talk to yourself like a frightened horse—and why it works This one's going to stick with you. Share it with someone who needs peace today. Max out.  

If you've been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or just not as happy as you used to be, the fastest path back to joy might be simpler than you think — it starts with appreciation. In this heart-opening episode, Brendon Burchard reveals how intentional appreciation can immediately shift your energy, deepen your relationships, and bring more lightness and joy into your daily life. From sending heartfelt notes to those you love, to reclaiming perspective when life gets hectic, Brendon dives into the habits that help high performers stay happy and grounded. You'll learn why joy isn't just something you wait for — it's something you create through passion, playfulness, and presence. You'll discover: The power of appreciation in deepening human connection How gratitude keeps your mindset focused and joyful Why chasing your passions ignites authentic happiness How embracing playfulness brings vitality and emotional freedom _____________________________________ If you're ready to feel more alive, more connected, and more you, this episode is your invitation to bring joy back into your life — starting today. Listen now and learn how appreciation can reignite your purpose and happiness. _____________________________________ 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.com⁠⁠⁠ 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!

In this episode, I'm calling you out and lifting you up. We're tackling one of the biggest challenges that silently destroys relationships, careers, and your own peace of mind—emotional immaturity. I'm sharing real talk about how anger, resentment, and emotional triggers keep you locked in a race to the bottom—and why true strength is found in staying composed, kind, and centered no matter what chaos comes your way. You'll hear the hard truths I've had to learn myself, including why it's not just about the other person's behavior but about how you choose to respond. I'll walk you through how to recognize when you're being pulled into someone else's emotional home of fear, anger, or anxiety—and how to stay firmly planted in your own home of peace, joy, and faith. We get into why true emotional maturity isn't about winning arguments or proving your point—it's about refusing to let anyone else control your emotions. And I'll give you the questions you need to ask yourself to check if your reactions are pulling you closer to your highest self—or dragging you further away. Don't spend another second living in somebody else's emotional chaos. Your minutes are precious. Your peace is non-negotiable. Key Takeaways: Why racing to the bottom in anger or frustration only makes you the loser How to stay emotionally mature when others around you lose control The truth about emotional homes—and why you have to guard yours fiercely How to confront toxic patterns with calm strength instead of retaliation Questions to evaluate whether your reactions bring you closer to your goals and your faith You are not here to live in chaos. You are here to live in peace, in power, and in purpose. Don't race to the bottom with people who are hurting—race to the top and stay there. Share this with someone you know who needs it, and remember: the most intelligent version of you is calm, composed, and in complete control. God bless you. Max out.

When life throws a curveball and everything feels uncertain, the difference between success and stagnation comes down to how you respond. In this powerful episode, Brendon Burchard breaks down what successful people actually do when things go sideways — and how you can adopt the same mindset to keep moving forward. You'll learn why clinging to certainty can secretly kill your growth, and how embracing exploration, curiosity, and adaptation is the true path to momentum. Brendon also shares how to use doubt not as a dead-end, but as fuel to evolve and get better, and why relying on outdated strategies will only hold you back in a rapidly changing world. You'll discover: Why the need for certainty limits your success How to harness exploration to spark new ideas and breakthroughs How to let doubt drive adaptation instead of fear Why it's time to stop clinging to the past and start building what's next _____________________________________ If you're navigating change or feeling stuck, this episode will reignite your resilience and teach you how to move forward with courage, clarity, and intention.

What If You Built a Business That Could Outlive You? I sit down today with Dave Whorton, and let me tell you—this conversation is one of the most important ones you'll hear if you're serious about building something meaningful. We're living in a time where entrepreneurship looks more like a sprint to an exit than a commitment to lasting impact. Dave's new book, Another Way: Building Companies That Last and Last and Last, challenges that broken model and reminds us: success isn't just about cashing out—it's about building something worth keeping. We break down what it really takes to create an "evergreen" company—one that's not built to flip, but built to matter. Dave shares the 7 P's that every sustainable business needs: Purpose, Perseverance, People First, Profits, Privately Held, Pace Growth, and Pragmatic Innovation. He hits home the idea that growth doesn't mean chaos—done right, it compounds over time and actually gets easier, more joyful, and more impactful. You're not racing to the exit—you're building a legacy. One of the biggest mind shifts we talk about: you don't have to sell your business for it to be valuable. You don't need $100M in funding to be "legit." Some of the strongest companies—Amazon, Microsoft, Apple—started with almost no venture capital compared to today's standards. Real strength comes from a strong foundation, scrappy innovation, and a relentless commitment to people and purpose over hype. I walk away from this conversation fired up because this is real entrepreneurship. It's the quiet work of building families, communities, and lives that stand the test of time. It's not just about business. It's about living a life you're proud of—and leaving something behind that's bigger than you. Key Takeaways: Why building for the long term beats building for a quick exit every time. The 7 P's every lasting company needs—and how to use them. How purpose-driven leadership creates stronger, happier teams. Why debt and excessive venture capital can destroy your company's soul. The hidden financial power of compounding growth over decades. How to attract and retain talent without giving up your equity. You don't have to follow the crowd. You can build something timeless. Max out.  

If you've been feeling restless, disconnected, or unsure about your next steps, it's time to rediscover the peace and purpose that will reignite your life. In this empowering episode, Brendon Burchard reveals how true peace and lasting purpose are not just stumbled upon — they are built intentionally through clarity, connection, and commitment. You'll learn why your purpose often stems from deepening your social relationships, mastering your passions, and choosing to serve others with excellence. Plus, Brendon shares why finding peace requires you to focus more on yourself, manage your time with discipline, and set clear boundaries — not overshare every aspect of your life online. You'll discover: How clarity creates a stronger sense of purpose Why meaningful relationships and service to others unlock deeper fulfillment The time management and boundary-setting strategies that bring true peace How mastering your passions can reignite your motivation and drive _____________________________________ If you're ready to stop drifting and start living with more meaning, energy, and calm, this episode is for you.

Is Virtual Communication Costing You Influence? Let's be honest—no one ever taught us how to communicate in a virtual world. We all just sort of fell into Zoom calls, emails, DMs, and voice notes, hoping for the best. But in this episode, I finally sit down with someone who gets it—Andrew Brodsky. He's not only a Harvard-trained expert from the University of Texas, but he's also the first person who's broken down how to actually win in virtual communication. And trust me, after this conversation, you're going to look at how you communicate online totally differently. We talk about the unspoken messages behind your emails, the body language you think you're sending on Zoom, and how charisma—real, compelling presence—can still be felt even when you're not in the same room. Andrew lays out a game-changing framework called PING (Perspective-taking, Initiative, Nonverbal, Goals) that helps you understand not just how to communicate better—but why the method matters just as much as the message. This one hit me personally. I've made my career speaking, influencing, and connecting—but I'll be the first to admit, I've been terrible at texting and emailing. I've lost influence in moments simply because I chose the wrong channel or misunderstood the tone. And I bet you've done the same. That's why this episode is so critical. You're going to walk away with a whole new toolkit for handling everything from business conversations to personal relationships—all through the lens of better, more thoughtful communication. So whether you lead a team, pitch clients, or just want stronger relationships—what you learn here can immediately shift how people perceive you and how effective you are. And if you're wondering what's next with AI, or how to manage Zoom fatigue, we unpack all of it. Bottom line: if you want to succeed in this virtual world, you need to be more intentional about how you're showing up—digitally. Key Takeaways: Why email often comes across colder than intended—and what to do instead How to build charisma and trust in virtual meetings When to use voice notes, video, or text—and why each choice matters The 4-part PING framework to level up your online communication Strategies to reduce Zoom fatigue and make meetings more productive Why over-crafting your messages might actually hurt your credibility How to ask others about their communication preferences to build stronger connections Go grab Andrew's book PING: The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication—because this conversation was just the start. Let's all level up and max out how we communicate in today's world. Thank you to our Sponsor: AG1: DrinkAG1.com/EDMYLETT

If you're feeling overwhelmed and ready to walk away from something important, it might not be time to quit—it might be time to optimize. In this empowering episode, Brendon Burchard shares a crucial mindset shift for anyone on the verge of giving up. Whether it's your job, your goals, or a relationship, you'll learn why competing interests are normal—and how the language you use (like “quitting” or “done”) might be what's actually holding you back. Brendon dives into how high performers think about pivoting versus quitting, and why you should first refine your processes before making a final decision. You'll discover: Why consistency beats intensity when it comes to long-term success How to reframe your challenges with healthier language and perspective The exact steps to optimize your life systems before calling it quits _____________________________________ If you're burned out, confused, or stuck in decision fatigue, this episode will reignite your clarity and courage.

Are You Joyful… or Just Functioning? Most people don't realize it—but there's a silent struggle happening behind the smiles and the schedules. Today, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a Columbia-trained psychiatrist and author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy. We tackle something that I think is affecting more people than anyone talks about… high functioning depression. It's not in the "DSM"—but it's very real. And if you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” but still feel empty inside, you need to hear this. We talked about a condition called anhedonia—this sneaky, silent twin of depression that robs you of joy without making you collapse. It's the part of depression that doesn't get seen or treated because you're still performing, still producing, still achieving. Dr. Judith broke down how traumas, even the little ones, can rewire the way we experience joy. And more importantly, she gave a way out. You don't have to crash to get help. You don't have to be broken to deserve healing. This episode isn't just about naming the problem. It's about owning your emotional truth, slowing down, and reclaiming the simple human experiences that actually fill you. Whether you're a high achiever constantly “doing” or someone who feels like joy is always out of reach, this one's for you. Judith's “5 V's” framework gives you real tools you can use every day—like planning your joy, validating your feelings, and choosing presence over performance. And let me tell you what stood out most. Joy is contagious! It spreads. To your kids, your spouse, your team. The more we access joy, the more we model it for those around us. This conversation hit home for me—and I think it will for you too. Key Takeaways: Why anhedonia is the overlooked symptom stealing your joy. The difference between happiness (an idea) and joy (an experience). The “5 V's” system to help reclaim joy: Validation, Venting, Values, Vitals, Vision. How trauma—big or small—can lead to high functioning depression. Tools to help yourself or someone you love who's silently struggling. The impact of hormonal changes on mental health, especially for women. A method to ground yourself daily and reduce anxiety: the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. Let's not wait for the crash to start healing. You deserve joy. You just forgot how to feel it. Max out.

If you keep beating yourself up over mistakes, you're not just slowing your progress—you're stealing your own momentum and joy. In this energizing episode, Brendon Burchard shares how to transform mistakes into fuel for your next big move. You'll discover why mistakes are never the end—they're opportunities to learn, pivot, and rise stronger than before. Brendon walks you through a powerful mindset shift: instead of letting mistakes trap you in regret, you'll learn to quickly realign with your highest integrity and take bold, forward action. You'll learn: How to treat mistakes as valuable learning opportunities The art of letting go so you don't stay stuck in negativity How to quickly find your next best action and build unstoppable momentum _____________________________________ If you want to stop letting mistakes define you—and instead use them to catapult yourself toward growth, achievement, and fulfillment—this is the episode you can't afford to miss.

What if you started living like life was rigged in your favor? That's the question I want you to wrestle with today. Because the lens you look through is shaping everything — your decisions, your joy, your results. In this Solo episode, I'm walking you through the truth that most people miss: Your life isn't defined by what happens to you — it's defined by how you see it. Your filter, your expectations, and your energy are creating your reality, whether you know it or not. We talk a lot about faith, hustle, and discipline — but today, I want you to start scanning your life for favor, not fear. I share the four life lenses that are quietly running your perspective — from living through history and memory to seeing life through dreams and imagination. I've lived on both sides of this. I've filtered for pain, for setbacks, for loneliness. But when I changed the lens — when I started walking through life expecting good things to happen — things began to shift. You'll hear me share some of the most personal insights I've ever dropped on this show, from how confidence bends reality, to the way your energy becomes a magnet for the people and opportunities in your life. This isn't just about mindset. It's about becoming the person who runs toward pressure, who trains like an underdog, and lives with the heart of a champion. You've already come farther than you give yourself credit for. Now it's time to move like someone who's meant to win. And here's the truth — you don't need to fit in. You're not one of the crowd. You were made to be different. You were born to stand out. So stop waiting to be seen. See yourself. Don't underestimate your own power another day. This episode is a reminder of who you really are and what you're really capable of. Key Takeaways: Your expectations shape your reality more than your circumstances. There are four lenses that shape how you experience life — most of us operate unconsciously. Confidence can actually bend reality — but so can self-doubt. Energy is magnetic — you draw in what you put out. The life you want begins when you stop underestimating yourself and start believing that great things are meant for you. Focus equals expansion: what you're looking for is what you'll find. Train like an underdog, but think like you're world class. You don't need to be understood — you need to be relentless about your purpose. Max out your lens. Max out your life.
