The Quiet Drift Killing High Performers. | Blaine Bartlett:   What if the version of success you've been chasing has not, in fact, delivered the life you were promised? Most leaders don't fail because of strategy. They fail because somewhere along the climb, they stopped being conscious participants in their own lives. They're hitting every mark, pleasing every stakeholder, performing the role flawlessly, and underneath it all is a question they stopped asking a long time ago: whose life is this? In this episode, Dov sits down with Blaine Bartlett, global leadership development master, CEO of Avatar Resources, six-time author, and the man behind the international bestseller Compassionate Capitalism and his newest book, Stop Drifting, Start Living.  . Blaine has personally delivered programs to more than 300,000 leaders, and what he's watched, room after room, is the same quiet pattern: brilliant, decorated executives who have built entire identities around producing results, and somewhere along the way lost the soulful spark that put them in the room in the first place. . Blaine opens up about the moment his own life cracked open. . This is a conversation that interrogates the version of success that gets you applauded right up until the moment you realize you've been running someone else's program. Inside this conversation: The somatic intervention Blaine ran on a brilliant executive who was being passed over for the boardroom because of how he was sitting in his chair, and what changed in 18 months Why anything that becomes a center of accumulation turns toxic in your business, your relationships, and your soul, and what nature taught Blaine about being a center of distribution instead The reality check about why, in life and in business, summer never lasts, why high performers refuse to accept winter, and why trying to force a 5% revenue bump in a fallow season is how you torch your own purpose The one move you can make in the next 24 hours, not a habit, not a routine, that actually starts to break the drift (warning: it will sting) If you came here for comfort, you're listening to the wrong podcast. If you came here because something inside you went quiet years ago and started screaming on the drive home, this is the conversation you've been outrunning. Hit play. Stay to the end. The whisper has been waiting.

Most men will drift to the end of the year and wonder where it went. They'll be busy. They'll be grinding. But they won't be where they said they were going to be. Busy is not the same as moving forward — and if you don't have an anchor, you'll end up anywhere. In this episode, I break down the exact framework I use to get clear on who I want to become by December 31st — across business, health, relationships, and personal growth. This is not about motivation. This is about direction. Inside this episode: •Why most high-achieving men drift through the year without realising it •The difference between being busy and being intentional •Why you keep telling yourself "I'll be happy when I get to here" — and why it never works •The Anchor Method: How to stop drifting and navigate towards a clear end-of-year vision •The 5 Pillars framework: Health, Relationships, Personal Development, Business, and Fun •Why some goals are about hitting numbers and others are about hitting feelings •The "Time Machine" exercise: How to reverse-engineer the man you want to be •Why building a business around your life — not the other way around — is the real mission •How to show up fully present at home when your mind is still at work You can achieve all the success in the world. But if you are not intentional about the life you are building, you will wake up at the end of this journey and realise you were too busy to actually live it. Get clear on the man you want to become. Write it down. Lock it in.   14 Day Mission Sprint > message me the word READY on my instagrma page > https://www.instagram.com/jamesboardmanuk/  If you are ready to build that direction and reset your mission, join the 5 Day Mission Reset here:   https://consulting.boardmanjames.com/5daymissionresetdetails Let's get to work.

This week, Brad challenges a hard truth: most people don't have a faith problem—they have a priority problem. Anchored in Psalm 119:1–16, the episode explores the difference between intending to follow God and actually building a life around His Word.Brad unpacks how Scripture repeats words like law, commands, and statutes to emphasize one central idea: a blessed, grounded life is built on alignment with God's Word—not accidental effort. Using the powerful example of codebreakers at Bletchley Park led by Alan Turing, he illustrates that access to a message isn't enough—what matters is understanding it and acting on it. Lives were saved because they didn't just hear the message—they built everything around it.The same is true spiritually. God's Word isn't just information—it's direction, warning, and life. But too often, it gets treated like optional reading instead of daily oxygen.Brad closes with a practical 7-Day Word Build Challenge: read Psalm 119:1–16 each day, memorize one verse, and actively apply it. The goal? Stop drifting and start building a faith that's rooted, intentional, and lived out daily.Big Takeaway: You don't drift into strong faith—you build it by anchoring your life in God's Word.

Send us Fan MailNo one sets out for a mediocre life. We drift there—one delayed decision, one small compromise at a time.In this solo episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh Kosnick shares the real story behind buying 80 acres, walking away from comfort, and deciding his best days would not be behind him, but built in front of him. You'll hear the raw driveway moment, the tension between “good enough” and calling, and why protecting the life you've built can quietly kill the life you're meant to live.If you've felt yourself coasting, maintaining, or living on drift, this is a calm but direct invitation to wake up, take ownership, and start building with intention again—at home, in business, and in your leadership.If this episode hits home, share it with someone who needs the reminder that their story isn't finished—and neither are their best days.

What if the biggest thing holding you back in business isn't your intelligence—but your honesty with yourself? In this episode of the 365 Driven Podcast, host Tony Whatley sits down with John Gafford—a powerhouse entrepreneur, real estate leader, and author of Escaping the Drift. Based in Las Vegas, John has built one of the largest and most successful luxury real estate brokerages in the region, leading a team of hundreds of agents and generating billions in annual sales volume. Beyond real estate, he's known for his sharp insights on leadership, mindset, and building a life of intentional success. In this conversation, Tony and John dive deep into what truly drives success in business and life. John shares his journey from struggling employee to high-level entrepreneur, and how being surrounded by high performers forced him to confront the gap between potential and results. They break down why emotional intelligence (EQ) often outweighs IQ, how environment shapes outcomes, and why the people you surround yourself with act as a mirror for your own performance. The episode also explores the concept of "escaping the drift"—taking control of your life instead of letting circumstances or other people dictate your path. From building powerful networks and mastering communication to positioning yourself in high-value markets, John delivers actionable insights for entrepreneurs ready to level up. If you're a business owner looking to gain clarity, sharpen your strategy, and take full ownership of your future, this episode will challenge your thinking—and push you into action. Key highlights: • Stop drifting: take control of your life and business starting today • EQ beats IQ—why people skills make you more money than intelligence • Get in the right rooms: how proximity to winners forces your growth • Build a premium brand that attracts high-value clients effortlessly • The brutal truth about success: radical honesty changes everything • Think ahead or fall behind—why top performers always plan their next move • Adapt fast: how to stay ahead in shifting markets and industries • Why AI won't replace real connection—and how to use that to your advantage • From broke to billions: lessons from scaling a $2B real estate empire • Turn every job into training for your future success Connect with John Gafford: Website: thejohngafford.com Instagram: @thejohngafford Connect with Tony Whatley: Website: 365driven.com Instagram: @365driven Facebook: 365 Driven

Most leaders don't fail because they lack effort—they fail because they lack intent. In this episode of Daily Influence, Brian Smith challenges a common leadership trap: confusing activity with progress. Leaders stay busy, respond quickly, and fill their calendars… but without intentional design, that motion creates drift—not direction. Brian breaks down how intentional leadership is not something you “have”—it's something you build through structure, clarity, and disciplined execution. Using S.M.A.R.T. principles, he outlines how to align your daily actions with your long-term vision and eliminate the subtle drift that erodes trust, performance, and results over time. If you've ever felt busy but not effective, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and operate with purpose. In this episode: Why activity without direction leads to leadership drift How to design intent into your daily structure The hidden cost of “busy” leadership on your team and results How S.M.A.R.T. systems turn motion into measurable progress Core Idea: You don't drift into success—you design it.

Do you ever feel like you are drifting through life, successful on paper but disconnected inside? In this episode, I explore why so many ambitious people feel stuck, lost or unsure of their direction. We look at fear, people pleasing, lack of purpose and the hidden beliefs that keep us playing small. If you want to stop living the life you think you should live and start creating a life aligned with your heart and soul, this episode will give you clarity, courage and practical insight to begin.

Time is the most precious resource leaders manage, and you can either drift with time or direct it. In a world where there is not a lot you can control, your time is something you can take ownership of. In David Allen's book Getting Things Done, he teaches readers his methods for stress-free performance and emphasizes that your productivity is directly proportional to your ability to relax. A few years ago, BJ interviewed David about this topic, and today, we are playing that conversation for you again. Tuning in, you'll hear all about David's career and writing journey, the kinds of people who read his book, how to implement his system, and so much more! We delve into ambient anxiety before David tells us about the tools and resources he offers and where you can get his training. He even talks about how often we should be processing information. Finally, our guest answers our rapid-fire questions. This episode is jam-packed with pearls of wisdom about one of the most popular and timeless productivity methods in the world, so be sure to press play now! Key Points From This Episode:Why time is the most valuable resource a leader has.How you can direct your time instead of drifting with it.The importance of scheduling your priorities in your calendar.BJ gives listeners a three-step time-management challenge.What it takes to implement his GTD (Getting Things Done) system.Quotes:“I will be bold enough to say that my book, Getting Things Done, was really the seed for the whole life-hack movement that started in the 2000s.” — @gtdguy“You don't need time, you need space.

Most people don't fail at life because they weren't smart enough or talented enough. They struggle because no one ever gave them the ground rules. Twelve years of school, and rarely does anyone sit you down and say: here is how you build a life that doesn't quietly fall apart on you. That's what this episode is about.**The Foundations: Money That Doesn't Wreck You**The first two ground rules are financial, and they're not complicated — they're just unpopular. Don't carry consumer debt, and live below your means. Consumer debt is a quiet life-wrecker: invisible in the moment, compounding in the background. The gap between what you earn and what you spend is where real freedom lives. It's not about being cheap — it's about being intentional. Lifestyle inflation is real, and resisting it is how you actually get ahead.**Protect Your Health Before It Drifts**Your body is the vehicle for everything you do — your energy, your relationships, your ability to show up. And most people don't feel the consequences of their health decisions until they're deep into them. Maintaining your health is dramatically easier than rebuilding it. The ground rule is simple: don't be perfect, but don't let things get too far gone. Move, sleep, eat real food, get checkups.**The Drift Principle**Most of life's biggest problems aren't sudden events — they're slow drifts that go unnoticed until they become a crisis. You don't wake up $40,000 in debt one day. You don't suddenly have a broken marriage. You drift there, one small decision at a time. Understanding the drift principle changes how you read your own life. Small corrections are cheap. Big corrections are expensive — in time, money, and sometimes relationships you can't fully recover.**Audits, Compasses & Enough**Doing regular life audits — even a simple one with coffee and a journal twice a year — keeps the drift visible before it becomes irreversible. Having a compass (knowing where you actually want to go and what's non-negotiable) protects you from ending up wherever the wind takes you. And knowing what "enough" looks like for you personally keeps you from trading things that actually matter for things that won't satisfy.**Personal Principles & the Long Game**Three to five personal principles — not a long list, just a short one that you genuinely live by — become the needle on your compass when everything else is uncertain. And underneath all of it is the long game: small steps, done consistently, that compound over time. The person who exercises three times a week for twenty years is a different physical being than the person who does it sporadically. Consistency beats intensity every time.Pick one area today and ask yourself honestly: am I drifting? You don't have to fix everything. You just need to notice it.Jill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

In this episode of Root Issues we discuss about the problem of the churches that we tend to drift away from the person of Lord Jesus and from what He is doing for us, interceding for us at the right hand of the Father.We discuss about the idea of surrendering into His Hands, so that we can receive the gifts and miracles of the Holy Spirit.

Most people jump into AI because it's “cool,” “new,” or “everyone is using it”… and they end up wasting hours going down rabbit holes with no meaningful results. Igor explains why this happens and how you can avoid it by adopting a goal-oriented approach.

Most people drift through life reacting to whatever comes their way. But what if you could stop drifting and start directing — building a life that moves toward something meaningful instead of just away from discomfort?In this episode, we walk you through the three-part system that makes that possible: your vision (where you're headed), your anti-vision (what you refuse to become), and your core values (how you make decisions in between). You'll learn how these three elements work together as an integrated framework for clarity, intention, and direction.

Most people don't run from God - they drift from Him. Scripture clearly warns us not to drift away from spiritual things, but intentionally focus our values and goals on the supremacy of Christ. So in 2026, let's prioritize fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Hopefully, you've started creating a list of things you want to change and or do in 2026. If not, it's not too late.  If you missed that episode, the five questions are: What would you like to change about yourself? This question is focused on you, your habits—good and bad. What would you like to change about your lifestyle? This is about how you live, the material things, if you like, such as your home, car and other possessions that improve your lifestyle. What would you like to change about the way you work? The professional question. Perhaps you want to learn more about AI, or change jobs and work from home, or maybe go back to working in an office. What can you do to challenge yourself? What could you do that frightens you slightly? This question is designed to help you move out of your comfort zone.  What goals could you set for next year? Realistically, what could you accomplish next year that has alluded you?  The idea behind this exercise is to give you time to think a little deeper and discover where you are happy and where you feel things need to change.  Now, one thing you will find helpful is to go back to your Areas of Focus. There, you have your definitions of what family and relationships, health and fitness, career, lifestyle, self-development and others mean to you. Often, you will find that by reviewing these eight areas, you will find something you have neglected over the previous twelve months.  As I've been helping my coaching clients with this exercise, it's surprising how many of them have discovered neglected areas. This is quite natural, given that once the year begins, we can easily get caught up in the day-to-day crises. Then we drift away from our good intentions.  In a perfect world, you would give yourself two months to reflect on these questions. To explore options and talk with your family. But don't worry if you have not started yet. There's still time to develop your thoughts and ideas. Now, some people have asked me where best to capture these ideas. Over the last two years, I've written these questions out in the back of my planning book. This book is always on or near my desk, and I have captured a lot more ideas this way than I ever did digitally.  So, my advice to you is: if you have not started this exercise, grab yourself a notebook, write the five questions as headings, and over the next few weeks, allow yourself to think about them and write down your ideas. Right now, it's less about what you write out and more about just getting everything written. And there's a very good reason for this.  If you do this exercise over a few weeks, what you will discover is that a theme will develop. Let me explain. Last year, I failed at getting back to fitness. During 2023, I reduced my exercise time to focus on writing Your Time Your Way. I also wasn't very careful about what I ate, and as a consequence, my weight ballooned.  Last year was supposed to be the year I got back into shape, and I failed miserably.  So, last year, as I went through these questions and captured ideas, I soon found that health and fitness were common themes. This meant when I began 2025, my focus was to get back into shape and not repeat the mistakes I made in 2024.  And it worked. I went from touching 88 kilograms (around 195 pounds) in January to where I wanted it to be—80 kilograms (around 176 pounds) by the middle of July.  To do that, I needed to change a few habits. Moving more and locking in a consistent exercise time were the obvious ones, but I also looked at my diet and removed all processed foods, replacing them with natural foods—real vegetables, fruit, and fresh meat.  Given that around Christmas and the end of the year are quiet times for me, I reviewed my calendar and moved a few things around to accommodate my new routine.  Another example, I remember two years ago, a client of mine was struggling to grow her side business. It was causing her a lot of frustration.  One idea she wrote down was to work harder on her business in the evenings, but every time she looked at that, she felt that was unrealistic, given that she had two sons, one aged three and the other five.  As we were talking about this, I asked her if she'd spoken with her husband about him possibly taking responsibility for the kids a few nights a week so she could “disappear” and work in her business.  She hadn't. So her “homework” that week was to discuss with her husband. The result was fantastic. He agreed to take full responsibility for the boys Monday through Friday, leaving her undisturbed time in the evening to work on her business.  Within six months, she was able to give up her full-time job and work solely on her own business. That reduced the need for her to work on her business in the evenings, and she returned to what many would describe as a normal work/life balance.  Yet none of this would have happened had she not spent some time thinking about the five questions. She would have carried on as before and become increasingly frustrated.  The theme she discovered was that she desperately wanted her side business to succeed, but to do so, she needed to spend more time on it. Time she thought she did not have.  As I've been going through my questions this year, I've seen a theme emerge: Less but better. Now I have a history with this quote from Dieter Rams, the celebrated industrial designer behind the German company Braun. He's been one of my design heroes for many years, and his Ten Principles of Good Design philosophy is ingrained in my thinking about everything I produce. Less but better bleeds into every area of my life, not just my professional life. For example, I have added to do a big clothes throw-out at the end of the year, leaving myself only with quality clothing made entirely of natural fibres—cotton, leather and wool.  These clothes and shoes are often more expensive than their man-made fibre equivalents, but they are also generally of a higher quality and last considerably longer.  So own fewer clothes, boots, and shoes, but better-quality items.  On a professional front, we've all heard a lot about how AI may, or may not, change the way we work. There's a lot of hype around at the moment, and it's not easy to see what's realistic and what is fantasy.  However, what's real is that AI is here and not going away. So, what could you do to keep up to date on what AI can do?  Maybe you could take a course, read a book, or do some self-learning beyond using ChatGPT or Claude to answer questions you used to ask Google.  Now, this may overlap with your self-development focus. It's certainly a fascinating topic to learn, and in doing so, you may find that you can save yourself a lot of time by creating a process that AI does automatically for you.  The reason many people struggle to find what they really want is that life gets in the way. Family and professional demands pull our attention all over the place, and when we do stop, we're exhausted and just want to flop into the easy chair, open our phones, and scroll through social media or the news.  One or two days like that is no problem, but it can rapidly become a habit, and we drift far from where we want to be.  Having a plan or a goal for the year gives you a roadmap for when you do become distracted and perhaps a little lost. You can use your weekly planning sessions to review your year-long plan, or, if you're doing well, review it every 3 to 6 months.  If you've been working on this since October, now's the time to begin filtering down your list. If you've found a theme or a few connected ideas, these will likely be the ones you highlight as potential goals to set.  This brainstorming exercise will generate many ideas, which will be too many to accomplish in 12 months. What you want to be doing now is looking for the ones that excite you and, more importantly, are realistic goals for the next 12 months.  Remember, you don't have to do all of what you wrote. You can keep this list in your digital notes by scanning your notebook pages into a note titled “Annual Planning 2025.” Then next October, you can come back to the list to see if you can move anything onto your 2027 list.  Over time, you create an extraordinary archive of ideas you've had over the years, and you will see how much you are accomplishing—you really are.  While I haven't filtered down my list yet, I'm already excited about 2026. It's going to be focused on less but with a lot more quality.  You will make decisions, experience setbacks and failures, and face frustrations, but by the end of 2026, I know you will be further ahead than you are today. And that's what it's all about.  Now go on and break open that notebook and ask yourself the five questions: What do you want to change about yourself? What do you want to change about your lifestyle? What would you like to change about the way you work? What can you do to challenge yourself? What goals could you set for next year? Good luck, and thank you for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very productive week.

In today's episode, I shared five lessons to help you stop drifting and start leading with intention. Too many entrepreneurs confuse being busy with being productive. Real success doesn't come from doing more—it comes from deciding better. When your actions, thoughts, and beliefs align with purpose, progress becomes natural. From choosing quality over quantity to turning setbacks into setups, the intentional entrepreneur understands that consistency and gratitude compound over time. Success isn't about perfection—it's about persistence, faith, and intention. To join my next free Friday Training session, email me at david@dmeltzer.com.

In Part 2, Mitch and John dive deeper into what it means to find your True North that inner compass that keeps you aligned, grounded, and fulfilled no matter what life throws at you. This isn't about slowing down. It's about refueling your spirit, realigning your focus, and reigniting the energy that drives your best self forward.

Sometimes the biggest reset doesn't come from doing more, but from zooming out far enough to see what really matters.That's exactly what productivity expert Ali Abdaal does every year, with a practice that at first sounds unusual, he writes his own obituary. Not to dwell on the end, but to remind himself how he wants to live.Ali's story is a powerful reminder that alignment beats hustle. A former doctor turned one of the world's most-followed productivity voices, he's learned that the real danger isn't burnout from overwork, but “misalignment fatigue”, the exhaustion that comes when your daily actions don't reflect the life you actually want.In this episode, I share what I've taken from Ali's approach and how you can use it as a compass too. We explore:Why writing your obituary is really about living, not dyingHow to spot “misalignment fatigue” before it derails youThe science of mortality awareness and why it makes us kinderSmall steps to bring your daily choices closer to your true storyIf you've ever felt stuck, drifting, or unsure where your energy should go, this episode is a reminder that high performance isn't about squeezing more into the day.Here is more information on the studies referenced: The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life (Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, and Tom Pyszczynski, 2015) Evidence That Reminders of Mortality Increase Generosity ( Ilan Dar-Nimrod, Tom Pyszczynski, Jamie Arndt, et al. 2008) Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want, (Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy 2016)Listen to the full episode with Ali Abdaal: https://pod.fo/e/213471 Hosted on Acast.

If you're not intentional with money, marriage, or business, you'll accidentally end up broke.

Most men don't hit rock bottom; they just drift. A few drinks after work, weekends on autopilot, telling themselves they're 'fine'… until fine turns into stuck.In episode 214 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox sits down with James Swanwick, former ESPN anchor, entrepreneur, and author of Clear: The Only Neuroscience-Based Method For High Achievers To Finally Break Free From Alcohol. During this open conversation they talk about how easy it is for men to slide into mediocrity without even noticing.They dig into:Why 'socially acceptable drinking' quietly robs your energy, money, and relationshipsThe hidden cost of living at 6/10 when you could be at 9How alcohol steals trust, not just from yourself, but from your family and businessWhat changes when you stop drifting and start living with clarityThis isn't about waiting for rock bottom.

Stop Drifting And Start Choosing Have you ever looked around at your life and wondered, “How did I end up here?” Not in a dramatic, everything's-on-fire kind of way—but in that quiet, soul-nagging realisation that you're not exactly where you hoped you'd be? In this powerful episode of Join Up Dots, we respond to a heartfelt email from Sarah in Cheltenham, a listener who perfectly captures what so many feel deep down but never put into words. She's not miserable. She's not living in crisis. But every morning feels the same, every evening ends in the same quiet exhaustion, and her career—one she admits she “fell into”—no longer excites her, if it ever did at all. Her question is one that echoes across workplaces, cities, and dinner tables: “Is this really all there is?” And that's exactly where we begin. This episode pulls apart the hidden epidemic of drifting through life—going from one thing to the next without ever truly making a conscious decision. From university to a “temporary” job that somehow becomes permanent, from taking advice that was never questioned to sticking with a life blueprint that wasn't even ours to begin with. We break down how most people hand over control of their lives, not in one big moment, but in a thousand small ways… until they look up and wonder how they became a passenger in their own story. But here's the truth: waking up to that reality isn't a failure. It's the start of something new. It's the moment of awareness that invites change. In this episode, we explore how to stop drifting and start designing a life that feels intentional, fulfilling, and truly yours. We talk through the moment where questioning becomes clarity—where vague discontent turns into direction. And we address the myth that you have to destroy your current life to build a better one. Instead, we uncover how tiny shifts, bold questions, and committed action can gradually steer your course toward something more meaningful. You'll hear why so many people confuse comfort with happiness, and why stability—while seductive—can become a trap if you never stop to ask “Is this what I want?” We dig into the mechanics of inertia: how once you're on a path, the world almost conspires to keep you there unless you actively push back. But we also discuss how breaking that inertia doesn't require drama. It requires decision. We invite listeners to rediscover the power of asking “why”—why they chose their jobs, their routines, their goals… and whether those answers still hold up. And if they don't? Well, that's not a reason for despair. That's a sign that you're finally paying attention. This isn't just a philosophical deep dive. It's an emotional lifeline for anyone stuck in a life that feels “fine” on the outside but hollow on the inside. We offer an empowering framework to start making shifts today, not next year. You'll walk away understanding that reclaiming your direction doesn't have to mean quitting your job overnight or fleeing the country. It starts with tuning into your life with curiosity, courage, and the belief that change is possible—even in small, steady steps. And of course, we wrap things up with a practical, step-by-step action plan to help you move from drifting to designing. Whether it's reigniting a long-buried dream, shifting your career path, or simply getting more intentional with how you spend your time—this plan helps listeners begin the process of reclaiming control without overwhelm. If you've ever felt like you're just going through the motions, if your career or lifestyle was chosen more by chance than by choice, if you've ever caught yourself saying “I don't hate my life, but I don't love it either”… then this episode is your mirror and your map. It's time to stop drifting. It's time to stop waiting for permission. It's time to take back control and build a life that feels as good on the inside as it might look on the outside. Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it—a colleague, a friend, your partner, or even your younger self. Let's help more people recognise they're not stuck. They're just one decision away from designing a better life. #LifeByDesign #JoinUpDotsPodcast #NoMoreDrifting #WakeUpAndCreate #TakeBackControl And don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.

Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like life's just… happening to you? You wake up, check your phone, go through the motions. Weeks blur into months. You're busy but not fulfilled. Productive but not progressing. Here's the hard truth: If you're not intentional about what you're building, you'll drift. And drift leads to regret. But here's the good news: You can choose to stop drifting—today. You can start building what actually matters most to you. In this episode, I break down 10 core principles for doing just that. These aren't quick hacks or lofty theories. They're hard-won lessons from world-class performers, artists, and makers who've mastered their craft and their lives. Here's a taste of what we get into: Why simplicity beats complexity every time (stop overcomplicating your goals) How to harness resistance instead of fighting it Why passion isn't optional—it's fuel for the hard stuff The hidden cost of “bad” practices you don't even realize you're repeating How to ditch autopilot and consciously design your days The big idea? You are what you practice. Every choice, every habit, every action is shaping your future. The question is: are you practicing the life you want—or one you'll want to escape? This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters. On purpose. So take a breath. Look around. And ask yourself: What am I really building? This episode will help you answer—and take the first steps toward it. Until next time—stay intentional, and keep creating.

Got a question? Let us know!Are you drifting—or planted?In this episode, we dive into what it means to drift through life and how to stay grounded in what actually helps you grow. We unpack Psalm 1, revisit Amy Downs' powerful story from the Oklahoma City bombing, and talk about how crisis doesn't have to be the only thing that wakes us up. Plus, we're kicking off a Bible reading challenge through the book of James to help us live with more intention.

Are you really living... or just reacting? In this episode, I'm handing you a tool for deep, no-BS introspection: the 5 W's of Radical Self Awareness. This isn't some surface-level journaling prompt. This is a mirror. A spotlight. A call-out and a call-forward—all in one. You'll explore: Who is influencing your thoughts, energy, and identity What you're truly committed to (and what you say you're committed to) When you tend to abandon yourself Where your environments are either draining or fueling you Why you haven't leapt yet—even though you know it's time This episode was sparked by an email from a listener, Benjamin Foley. We connected over our shared approach to fear—leaning into it. Not running from it. Benjamin's article, “Advice On Anxiety No One Tells You”, lit a fire under me, and now I'm passing that torch to you. You don't need another checklist. You need a pattern interrupt. You need to sit with these questions like your life depends on it—because in a way, it does. Radical self awareness is the first step to radical self leadership. And the only person who can give you that… is you.

Drifting away from God is so easy yet so dangerous. How do we know when we're drifting? When we neglect the Word of God, lose our dependance on the Lord, and cease communion, we drift! If we're too busy for God, then we are too busy. He should always be our first priority. By the grace of God, let's be intentional about not drifting spiritually.

Most people think their biggest problem is discipline. It's not. It's clarity. Without it, you'll drift through life—hesitating, second-guessing, and never truly making progress. In this episode, I break down why clarity is the foundation of mental fitness, how to create it in your life right now, and how it unlocks your potential in business, relationships, and personal growth.

Stop Drifting & Come Home   Stop Drifting & Come Home P P  GET THE JOURNAL FOR THIS STUDY  THE VINCE MILLER SHOW Do you feel like you are drifting spiritually? There is something and someone that could help. Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. At this point, David and Abishai sneak into Saul's camp, swipe the spear and jar of water, and position themselves on a hill far from Saul. Here is what happens next in verses 14-16: And David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Will you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?” And David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord. This thing that you have done is not good. As the Lord lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was at his head.” — 1 Samuel 26:14-16 Have you ever found yourself drifting? Difting from responsibilities that you know are yours alone? We all drift. We get tired, possibly lazy, and drop the ball. That's precisely what Abner has done. He has dropped the ball. The one thing he was responsible for doing was protecting the Lord's anointed, but in this story, he is found sleeping on the job rather than doing his job. This puts everyone at risk, but especially the "Lord's anointed"—Saul! So David literally calls Abner out in front of everyone, which I assume was rather embarrassing for Abner, and Saul, and the entire army of 3000 men. No one likes this experience, especially when it happens publicly. But the truth is sometimes we all need it. So maybe today, if you are drifting, it's time to be vulnerable instead of made vulnerable. Be vulnerable about your spiritual drift. Get honest with yourself about it. Find a believer to help who is through the same drift and who can point the way out. If you can be vulnerable and vigilant, it will save you shame and a lot of public embarrassment. If this hits home today and you have been drifting and feel it's time for a more profound change, you need to know that sometimes the drift we experience isn't just about everyday slip-ups. It's the slippery slide of sin that separates us from God. It reveals a more prominent and deeper longing that can only be satisfied by God. The good news is that no matter how far you've drifted, God has not moved. He's right where he's always been, ready to welcome you home, no matter the distance of your drift. God invites you into a relationship where you don't just survive your spiritual drift—you thrive in a spiritual relationship with him. If you're ready to stop drifting and begin new, you can make a choice today. Choose to surrender your ways, will, weariness, and wandering and accept His salvation and leadership in your life. Jesus's life, death, and resurrection are the only solution to your spiritual drift. If you are ready to do that, you can choose Jesus right now. If you are ready to do that right now, write "I choose Jesus" in the comments below. Let me pray for you: “Jesus, I know I've been drifting, and I want to come back to You. I'm done wandering, and I'm ready to surrender my life to You. Forgive me, guide me, and help me walk with You daily. Amen.” #SpiritualDrift, #ChooseJesus, #ComeHome Ask This: Where in your life do you sense a drift from God's purpose, and what steps can you take to refocus? Who could you reach out to for accountability and support in restoring your spiritual walk? Do This: Stop Drifting and come home. Pray This: Lord, I admit I've been drifting and need Your guidance to return to You. Help me surrender my heart fully and walk closely with You each day. Amen. Play This: Broken Together.
