Ed Mylett Show

Are you holding yourself back from leading at your highest level? In this incredible conversation, I sit down with my good friend Craig Groeschel—someone I admire deeply, not just for what he’s accomplished, but for the man he is at his core. We get real about leadership—what it means to empower others, to listen, to ask better questions, and to build a culture that thrives whether you’re in the room or not. Craig shares candidly about the lessons he’s learned over nearly 30 years leading one of the largest churches in the country and launching the YouVersion Bible App that’s impacted millions.One of the things that really hit home in this episode is how Craig talks about the shift from thinking leadership is about you to realizing it’s about what happens when you’re not there. We break down how great leaders give authority, not just tasks, and how that’s the key to developing other leaders rather than creating followers. And yes, we go into the hard stuff—the criticism, the self-doubt, the moments w

Are you letting indecision rob you of your destiny? In this episode, I’m getting real about something every one of us faces—but few of us feel truly prepared for: making difficult decisions. I walk you through the exact strategies that have helped me choose clarity over chaos in my life, even when the stakes were high and the path ahead was uncertain. Whether you’re wrestling with a career move, a relationship choice, or any other major crossroad, this conversation will help you stop hesitating and start calling your shots. I share personal stories—like the time I chose to stay in California for my family’s well-being, sacrificing millions financially, and later, why I made the move to Florida when life’s conditions shifted. These weren’t easy calls, but they taught me that not choosing is a choice in itself—one that can quietly steal your future. You’ll hear how I separate emotion from logic, why stillness is key, and how to stop letting fear, ego, or the opinions of others dictate your path. This epi

How Do You Turn Tragedy Into Triumph?In this unforgettable conversation, I sit down with Elizabeth Smart—a woman whose strength and grace have inspired millions. Elizabeth was kidnapped at knifepoint from her home at just 14 years old and endured nine months of unspeakable abuse. But what truly amazes me isn’t just her survival—it’s the extraordinary life she’s built in the aftermath. In this episode, Elizabeth shares what it means to reclaim your life, how she’s become a fierce protector of others, and the mindset that helped her move forward instead of staying trapped by trauma. Elizabeth opens up about those terrifying moments of captivity and the choice she made every day: don’t give up. She shares what it took to move past fear and anger—not to excuse what was done to her—but to love herself enough to not let that pain define her life. We talk about forgiveness, and she explains it in a way that will stop you in your tracks: “Forgiveness is the greatest form of self-love because it allows you to leave

Are You Thinking Your Own Thoughts… Or Someone Else’s? Let me ask you something—have you ever stopped to wonder if the thoughts you’re thinking are actually yours? In this conversation, I sat down with Rebecca Lemov, a Harvard professor and author of The Instability of Truth, and what unfolded was a real eye-opener. We didn’t just scratch the surface—we went into the guts of how we get conditioned to believe things about the world… and about ourselves… without even realizing it. Rebecca laid out something that really hit me: brainwashing doesn’t start with someone else taking control of your mind—it begins when you stop asking questions. That moment when you stop challenging your beliefs, when you’re scrolling, liking, agreeing without even knowing why—that’s where it starts. She walked me through a chilling example: a Facebook study where they manipulated nearly 700,000 users' moods without their knowledge. That’s real. That happened. And if that doesn’t wake you up, I don’t know what will. We also go

What if the secret to longevity isn’t luck—but how you show up? In this episode, I sit down with someone I’ve been wanting to interview for a long time—actor and now wellness entrepreneur, Josh Duhamel. You’ve seen him in everything from Transformers to Las Vegas to his latest hit Ransom Canyon. But this conversation goes beyond the screen. It’s about the truth behind staying relevant, thriving in your 40s and 50s, and what it really means to lead—whether that's in your home, on set, or in your company. Josh opens up about the moments of self-doubt early in his career, the grind he still embraces, and how testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) helped him regain not just his energy, but his edge. We got real about aging, fatherhood, emotional strength, and the quiet confidence that comes from people believing in you—not just loving you. There’s a big difference between the two. And whether you're leading a team or raising a family, that distinction can change everything. We also talk about masculinity i

What if the pain you're facing right now is just preparing you to meet the strongest, most fulfilled version of yourself? In this special episode re-release, I’m reminding you of one thing: you were born to do something great with your life. Not just in big, visible ways—but in the quiet, meaningful moments that the world doesn’t always see. If you're in the middle of tough times, I want you to hear this—everything you're going through is temporary. And on the other side of that struggle? That’s where your “other self” is waiting. In this episode, I talk straight with you about how your thoughts shape your emotions, and how your emotions shape your reality. I share a lesson from Think and Grow Rich that helped me stop quitting and start innovating when life got hard. You’ll hear what it means to change your “emotional home,” and why peace, not chaos, is the fuel for a life of joy and meaning. Plus, I break down the four ways you can show up in 20 years—and challenge you to choose the version of yourself

Are You Speaking to Their Greatness or Their Deficiencies? This conversation challenged me in the best way—and I think it will challenge you too. I sat down with relationship coaches Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman, and we didn’t hold back. We got into the real, unfiltered truth about what makes a relationship thrive and what quietly breaks it down over time. And I’ll be honest—I learned a lot about myself in this one. We talked about why most couples argue the same way every time, how we start talking to our partner's flaws instead of their potential, and how easy it is to stop being curious about the person we love the most. That hit me hard. Because curiosity? It’s not just a phase when you're dating—it’s a choice. When you stay curious, people become more interesting. And when you stop being interested, they stop showing you who they really are. One of the most important takeaways: the “5 Rs” the Freemans teach—Reflect, Responsibility, Reconnect, Remind, Reconcile. It’s a practical framework that helps cou

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 fa

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 achieve

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

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? T

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.

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 strate
