This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I'm joined by Karen Salmansohn, bestselling author, behavioral change expert, and creator of “Your To-Die-For Life: How to Maximize Joy and Minimize Regret Before Your Time Runs Out.” With over 2 million books sold, Karen brings a bold mix of research-based psychology and humor to help us snap out of autopilot and live with more intention. We dive into the powerful idea that mortality awareness isn't morbid, it's motivating. Karen introduces the concept of a "near-life experience" and how many of us are living life adjacent, not fully present. We also explore the connection between core values, money, happiness, and how to design your life with fewer regrets. In this episode we discuss: Core values that prevent future regret and help guide daily decisions How identity shapes habits and long-term financial wellness The difference between fleeting pleasure and deep fulfillment Why growth, curiosity, and authenticity matter more than productivity Strategies to discover your high-level purpose—even if you don't know it yet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Check out Karen's book: Your To-Die-For Life Apply to Share Your Journeyer Story here.

My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1801"Energy flows where intention goes, not where to-do lists go, not where I need to be productive goes, but the energy goes from the intention." - Lewis HowesLewis discovered something that changed everything about how he approaches each day - and it wasn't another productivity hack or morning routine. Twelve and a half years ago, when he launched The School of Greatness podcast with zero broadcasting experience and no idea what he was doing, he had something more powerful than skills or equipment: a crystal-clear intention. Not a goal to hit certain download numbers or build a platform, but an intention to create the school he wished he'd had growing up - one that taught real-life lessons about money, relationships, emotions, and health that traditional education never covered. That intention, born from his own struggles and gaps in learning, became the foundation for everything that followed.This isn't about setting goals or grinding through to-do lists - it's about identifying what you've been lacking in your life and intentionally stepping into that energy. Feel disconnected? Set an intention to be connected. Missing joy? Choose to be playful. Lacking gratitude? Decide to live from appreciation, even when someone cuts you off in traffic. When you shift from reacting to your circumstances to living from intention, doors open in ways you never expected. People are drawn to your energy, opportunities appear, and you start manifesting from a place of authentic being rather than desperate doing.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

In this powerful solo episode of the Growth Now Movement, I (Justin Schenck) sit down with YOU to talk about something deeply personal and often overlooked: legacy. Inspired by the recent passings of cultural icons like Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, and Hulk Hogan, I share my thoughts on what it truly means to leave a lasting impact. These legends lived boldly, made mistakes, and still left behind a legacy that touched millions. And that's what this conversation is all about—understanding that our imperfections don't define us; they shape us. Justin opens up about: Why your legacy starts with how you show up today The importance of being present with your loved ones How to turn personal setbacks into a springboard for growth Why you don't need to have it all figured out to start building your legacy A heads-up on his upcoming break in August (and why revisiting past episodes could be exactly what you need) This is a reminder to live life on purpose, embrace the lessons in the missteps, and keep showing up as your most authentic self. Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, parent, or just someone seeking more depth and meaning in your journey, this episode will hit home. What will your legacy be?

You'll learn to spot the hidden messages that are keeping you stuck, question the rules you've been following, and start building a way of moving, eating, living and being that aligns with YOUR truth — not someone else's highlight reel.Key Takeaways:What the “noise” really is — and how it subtly undermines your confidence and self-trustHow societal standards, expert advice, and endless comparison steal your clarity and energySigns you're living by someone else's rules (and how to start writing your own)Simple, empowering ways to start deconditioning from the “shoulds” and external pressureJournal prompts and questions to reconnect with your values, desires, and truthYou don't need to change everything about yourself to be “worthy.” You just need to get quiet enough to hear your own wisdom again.

Elisha delivers a transformational message that challenges societal norms and reignites divine purpose.   Drawing on biblical truths and modern-day examples, he unpacks the soul-stirring revelation: “You are someone's answer, born as a solution to a crisis on earth.”   You'll hear a raw and honest reflection on how society, schools, media, and even religious systems have misled many into a survival mindset—while neglecting the true reason they were sent from heaven to earth.   Through riveting storytelling, prophetic insight, and kingdom-centered teaching, Amb. Elisha calls listeners to awaken to their God-ordained assignment and reject the lies of limitation and comfort culture.  

This episode comes straight from a moment of clarity — as I was packing for our family's beach house, something hit me. Not the house, not the milestone... but the decisions it took to get here.Truth is, the life and business you're dreaming of? It doesn't just show up one day after you hit the “right” number or build the perfect team. It's built long before you're ready, through bold moves and scary leaps.In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation I wish someone had with me earlier — about what it really takes to build a business that supports your life, instead of running it. And I break it down in a way that's simple, actionable, and real.

What if the life you're seeking is already unfolding beneath your feet? David Fardi's path from spiritual confusion to grounded clarity is a powerful reminder that real Yoga begins when we stop chasing and start participating in what is. A Yoga teacher and founder of the men's fashion brand Le Nirvana, David shares how he moved through disillusionment in Europe and neo-tantric circles to find a deeply embodied practice in Bali. His story touches on healing generational wounds, living in rhythm with nature, and discovering how simple breath and movement can reshape a life. David now teaches private sessions at Samyama Yoga and lives what he practices with devotion, artistry, and love. Key Takeaways The Power of Presence – Gathering in person allows for a deeper transmission of Yoga that even the best Zoom call can't replicate. Bali's Blessing Culture – The spiritual fabric of Balinese daily life creates an environment of tolerance, beauty, and ease that supports deep practice. Yoga Is Participation, Not Performance – Real Yoga is not information gathering; it's direct participation in the reality of breath, body, and being. Spiritual Friendship Matters – One-on-one connections made in gatherings often become lifelong support systems for practice and healing. The End of the Separate Self – Gathering invites us into a recognition: there's no fixed “me” to fix. There's only reality unfolding through us. We Are the Forest Dwellers – These gatherings are part of an eternal cultural process of Yoga; friends meeting in sacred spaces for wisdom to be lived and shared.

All the neurochemicals in the brain have to do with life in the present. Except for one: dopamine. Dopamine is the one neurochemical that looks to the future. It anticipates what may be to come and drives you towards it.That can be a good thing — dopamine is one powerful motivator — but it also has its downsides. Here to help us understand how the most important chemical in the brain works and how to deal with its pitfalls is Michael Long. Michael is a trained physicist turned writer whose latest book is Taming the Molecule of More. Mike and I discuss how dopamine, for better and worse, makes you want what you don't have. He shares what causes low dopamine activity, how to know if you're experiencing it, and what increases dopamine. We then talk about how to deal with the consequences of dopamine in some of the scenarios in which it plays a role — like losing the spark in a relationship and getting stuck in a smartphone scroll habit — and why so much of taming dopamine comes down to living in the here and now. We end our conversation with why The Great Gatsby is really a novel about dopamine and the fundamental answer to not letting the dopamine chase lead you around.Resources Related to the PodcastMike's previous appearance on the AoM podcastAoM Article: How to Do a Dopamine ResetAoM Podcast #745: Do You Need to Take a Dopamine Fast?AoM Article: Your Life Explained Through DopamineConnect With Michael Long  Taming the Molecule website

Ambition. We celebrate it, chase it, and reward it. But for many of us, ambition has become a double-edged sword—fueling overwork, perfectionism, and self-neglect. What if the problem isn't having ambition, but where it's coming from? Executive coach Amina AlTai has worked with everyone from Olympians to entrepreneurs, and in her new book The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living, she argues that we don't need to give up ambition; we just need to reclaim it on our own terms.

In this episode of Mornings with Monette, I'm diving into what I call the “someday when” trap—the mindset that keeps us settling, stuck, and spiritually stalled.I've lived it.

You've likely heard about the importance of living abundantly and giving up a scarcity mindset, but how do you actually do that?

This week, I'm joined by Dr. Bob Rosen, a psychologist, leadership expert, and author of Detach. With years of experience coaching CEOs and studying both Eastern and Western philosophies, Dr. Rosen shares how letting go of attachments and shifting to an abundance mindset can help you unlock freedom, joy, and purpose in your life. Some of the things we discuss are: Why attachments hold us back. The most common attachments, like control, perfection, and stability, and how to overcome them. Practical strategies to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. Why focusing on the present moment enhances mental strength and well-being.

You only get one life—so what will you do with it? In this episode, Daron wraps up the story of Ruth with a challenge to stop coasting and start stepping into redemptive purpose. Boaz didn't have to act—but he did. And his legacy still echoes today. Key Takeaways: • You get one life—don't waste it. • “I can't” is often just fear in disguise. • Saying yes to God creates a legacy of redemption. • “Have to” thinking leads to half-hearted living. • You were made to join God's mission of love and reconciliation. Quotes: “You don't have to… but you get to.” “Half-to thinking leads to half-living.” “You get one life. Stop wasting it on stuff that doesn't matter.” “Boaz didn't have to—he chose to, because redemption ran in his bloodline.” “Jesus is the Redeemer who wanted to… and did.”

“Do you mind?” We “mind” everything, from traffic to childhood memories, and this habitual minding creates endless mental ripples that disturb our peace. Spiritual growth is not found through adding practices but through subtracting resistance, through relaxing and letting go of what disturbs us. Every moment becomes an opportunity to free ourselves by choosing not to mind, and over time this unlocks profound freedom and transformation. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer.
