Can You Play Hurt? The Secret to Winning When Life Knocks You Down Can you still show up and perform when everything in you wants to quit? Because THAT is what separates the greats from everyone else. In this episode, I’m asking you to take a hard look at yourself—how do you perform on the tough days? When you’re sick, tired, heartbroken, or facing a setback, do you shut down… or do you step up? I share the incredible story of Cade Belyeu, a college baseball player who hit his first home run of the season just hours after losing his mother. I break down why our most defining moments often come when we’re at our lowest and why playing hurt is the key to separating yourself from the pack. Whether it’s in business, sports, or life, the ability to push through pain and keep moving forward is what creates legends. It’s time to stop sitting in your pain and start using it. There’s a gift waiting for you on the other side—if you’re willing to fight for it. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why your breaking po

The Secret to Sustained Success The rarest thing in life isn’t success—it’s sustained success. How do the greatest performers, leaders, and athletes not only reach the top but stay there? That’s what we’re unpacking today with the incredible Molly Fletcher. Molly was a trailblazing sports agent—dubbed the “female Jerry Maguire”—who negotiated over $500 million in contracts for some of the biggest names in sports. She’s now one of the most in-demand speakers in the world and the author of Dynamic Drive, which breaks down the keys to long-term success. In this conversation, she shares the mindset shifts, daily habits, and high-performance strategies that separate those who stay great from those who fade away. We talk about why the best don’t focus on outcomes, but instead on the process—a lesson from the greatest champions in the world. Molly explains why protecting your energy is critical, how to prevent achievement from leading to complacency, and how to find alignment in life so success doesn’t come at the

What if the only thing standing between you and greatness was the story you’ve been telling yourself? In this electrifying mashup, I’m bringing together some of the most inspiring voices on the planet to help you rewrite the narrative of your life and unlock the greatness that already exists within you. You’ll hear life-changing insights from Les Brown, Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins, Dean Graziosi, Heidi Powell, Trent Shelton, Chris Powell, and Damon West—each of them sharing hard-earned wisdom that can transform your mindset, your habits, and your future. Les Brown reminds us that “when you have a big dream, it will introduce you to a part of yourself that you don’t know yet.” If you’ve ever doubted your ability to rise above your circumstances, his words will light a fire in you. Dean Graziosi pulls back the curtain on how facing the storm in your life—whether it's relationships, business, or self-doubt—is the only way to reach the next level. And Heidi and Chris Powell break down the power of keeping promises to y

The Future of Leadership: Are You Ready for What’s Coming? Most people think leadership is about telling others what to do—but what if that’s completely wrong? In this episode, I sit down with my great friend Brendon Burchard to challenge everything you thought you knew about leadership. The world is changing faster than ever, and the old way of leading just won’t cut it anymore. If you’re still leading the way you did five years ago, you’re already falling behind. Brendon and I break down what it really takes to lead in today’s world, from how to get people to buy into your vision to why energy is your most valuable leadership asset. We’re talking about what separates great leaders from those who struggle to keep their teams engaged—and trust me, it’s not what you think. Brendon shares his game-changing insight: “People support what they create.” If your people don’t feel like they have a stake in the vision, they’ll never be all in. We also get into the biggest leadership mistake holding most people bac

Are You Living in a Prison Without Bars? Some of the most locked-up people aren’t behind steel bars—they’re trapped in their own minds. My guest today, my friend Damon West, knows this better than anyone. Once a promising college quarterback, he spiraled into addiction and crime, ultimately sentenced to life in prison. But Damon didn't just survive—he transformed. He found a way to change his environment from the inside out, becoming what he calls a "coffee bean"—a force for change rather than a victim of his surroundings. Damon’s story is unreal. He was sentenced to life but earned his way out by changing himself first. Today, he’s one of the most sought-after speakers in the world, sharing the same message that saved him. He went from practicing speeches in his parents’ spare bedroom to standing in front of NFL teams, Fortune 500 companies, and thousands of students. He’s proof that no matter how far you’ve fallen, you can rewrite your story. This conversation is filled with raw truth and real strategi

What if your biggest fear is the one thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live? Fear is a liar. It whispers that you’re not good enough, that you should wait, that failure is too risky. But what if I told you that fear is actually the roadmap to your next breakthrough? In this episode, I sit down with some of the most incredible minds—Tony Robbins, Rich Diviney, Jen Gottlieb, Colin O’Brady, Robin Sharma, John Assaraf, and James Lawrence—to break down how fear is shaping your decisions, holding you back, and how you can use it as fuel to push forward. Tony Robbins reveals how the media and external noise create unnecessary fear, and how the difference between fear and faith is simply the story we tell ourselves. Rich Diviney talks about resilience—not just bouncing back but coming back stronger—and shares the mindset shift that separates top performers from everyone else. Jen Gottlieb teaches how to put fear in the passenger seat and take control of your life, proving that when you face

Are You Chasing Stress Instead of Success? Do you ever feel like you're constantly chasing the next thing—only to realize you're too stressed to enjoy any of it? I know that feeling all too well. One of my biggest regrets in life is how much time I’ve spent in stress instead of in the moment. And I know I’m not alone. Stress isn’t happening in the present—it lives in the future. It’s worrying about problems that don’t even exist yet. But here’s the truth: Peace and productivity only exist in the now. If you’re always “future traveling,” always chasing the next achievement, the next milestone, the next weekend… you’ll never truly arrive. In this episode, I’ll share a powerful lesson I learned from a street artist in Central Park that will change the way you approach your dreams. Because here’s the key—you CAN have big goals and dreams without letting them steal your joy. You CAN move toward a vision for your life while still being fully present in the moments that matter. The difference between success that’

Are You Smarter Than You Think? For years, we’ve been told intelligence is about IQ, test scores, and fitting into a rigid mold. But what if everything you thought about intelligence was wrong? What if intelligence isn't just one thing—but many? In this episode, I sit down with one of the most influential psychologists of our time, Dr. Howard Gardner, the man behind the groundbreaking Theory of Multiple Intelligences. His work changed the way I see people—including myself—and I know it’s going to change the way you see yourself and those around you. We break down the different types of intelligence and how understanding them can transform your confidence, your parenting, your leadership, and even your business. Think you’re not smart just because you weren’t great at math? Think again. You may have an intelligence that’s been overlooked your whole life. Dr. Gardner explains how to identify your strengths, unlock your potential, and even help your kids or team members thrive by recognizing their unique abil

Are You Running on Autopilot? Break the Patterns Holding You Back! So many of us are stuck in cycles—repeating the same thoughts, behaviors, and reactions without even realizing it. What if you could identify the subconscious patterns that are limiting your success and replace them with ones that propel you forward? In this mashup, I sit down with some of the most accomplished minds in personal development, business, and sports—Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, Stephen A. Smith, and Mark "The Undertaker" Calaway—to uncover the habits and mindsets that separate the elite from the average. Tony Robbins shares how gratitude destroys fear and anger, and why shifting your physiology can instantly change your state. Brendon Burchard breaks down the difference between automatic habits and deliberate habits, revealing why true high performance requires intention, not just repetition. Stephen A. Smith explains why mastering your business and knowing your worth removes emotion from negotiation, making success a data-dri

The Confidence Code: How to Build Unshakable Self-Belief If you struggle with confidence, you’re not alone—but what if the real secret isn’t what you think? In this episode, I’m joined by my great friend and high-performance expert, Brendon Burchard, as we break down the true foundation of self-confidence and accountability. Confidence isn’t just a feeling—it’s a skill, and it comes from keeping the promises you make to yourself. We’re going to show you exactly how to generate momentum in your life, overcome self-judgment, and finally break free from the mental patterns that are keeping you stuck. Brendon and I talk about why so many people avoid accountability—how the fear of judgment holds them back from setting real goals—and why the fastest way to build confidence is to contribute more. I also share a simple but life-changing morning routine that helped me rebuild my confidence after major health challenges. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your confidence to the next level, you’ll wa

Innovation Secrets from Inside Microsoft If you're not innovating, your competition is. That’s the world we live in. Microsoft didn’t become one of the most dominant companies on the planet by accident—it built a culture of constant reinvention, adaptation, and innovation. And today, we're bringing you the inside track on how to apply those same principles to your business and life. I’m joined by my co-host, the incredible Candy Valentino, as we sit down with Dean Carignan and JoAnn Garbin, two Chief Innovation Officers at Microsoft, who played a pivotal role in driving the company’s billion-dollar breakthroughs. They’re here to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to stay ahead of the curve, build a culture of innovation, and apply the strategies of billion-dollar companies to your own business and life. Dean and JoAnn share the real secrets behind innovation—the kind that doesn’t just create new ideas but actually makes them succeed. From the power of "double-loop learning" to how AI is changing

Are You Playing Chess or Checkers With Your Life? Most people go through life playing checkers—reacting to what’s in front of them, making moves one at a time with no long-term strategy. But those who truly win? They’re playing chess. They’re creating patterns, structures, and behaviors that set them up for success at the highest level. In this episode, we’re breaking down a concept that has fascinated me—how much of our behavior is inherited, and how much is learned? If alligators instinctively know how to survive freezing temperatures without ever being taught, what does that mean for us? Could we be operating on deep-seated patterns that go back generations? And if that’s true, how do we break free and build the life we were meant to live? The key isn’t endless self-analysis. Too many people spend their lives looking back, trying to dissect every piece of their past instead of stepping forward into their future. Your ability to adapt—to create new structures, new habits, and new ways of thinking—is what

Is Your Gut Controlling Your Mind? What if I told you that your thoughts, cravings, and even your personality might not be coming from your brain—but from your gut? Today, I sit down with Dr. Steven Gundry, a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon and best-selling author, to uncover the shocking truth about the gut-brain connection and how the bacteria in your gut could be running the show. For years, we've been told that mental health is all about brain chemistry. But Dr. Gundry reveals that your gut microbiome directly influences your mood, cognition, and even addictions. Whether it's sugar, alcohol, or even opioids, the bacteria in your gut can literally create cravings, fuel addiction, and manipulate your behavior. And if that doesn’t wake you up, he also shares how healing your gut can help reverse depression, anxiety, and even improve your personality. We also break down the hidden dangers in your diet, from glyphosate (a common herbicide) to ultra-processed foods that are destroying your gut lining an

The Secret to Transforming Your Life Starts in Your Mind What if the key to changing your entire life was as simple as shifting your mindset? In this episode, I bring together some of the most brilliant minds—Garrain Jones, Mauricio Umansky, Tom Bilyeu, and Tim Grover—to break down the undeniable power of your thoughts and how they shape your reality. Garrain Jones shares how forgiving those who hurt him, even the men who murdered his father, unlocked an entirely new level of freedom and success in his life. Mauricio Umansky reveals why financial success has nothing to do with wealth itself and everything to do with mindset. Tom Bilyeu exposes the lie that talent is enough and how he went from an "empty dreamer" to building billion-dollar businesses. And Tim Grover, the man who trained legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, explains why the obsession to win is what separates the best from everyone else. Each of these incredible minds offers a different perspective, but the message is the same: your mi

What if the smallest changes in your daily routine could unlock the biggest results in your life? In this solo episode, I’m breaking down 20 daily habits that have made a massive difference in my life. Some of these are simple, some are unexpected, and a few I’ve never shared before. The truth is, success isn’t just about major breakthroughs—it’s about stacking the right habits every single day. The way you start your morning, the way you fuel your body, the way you set up your environment—it all matters. These aren’t just theories; these are the habits I live by. And when you start applying them, you’ll notice how the small things compound into something much bigger. I’ll walk you through everything from the "Let Me Tell You About You" video habit that strengthens relationships to the importance of seeing the sky before your screen in the morning. We’ll talk about structuring your to-do list, the science of hydration, and why touching your dreams—literally—can rewire your mind for success. And maybe most i

What separates the good from the legendary? In this conversation, I sit down with my longtime friend and one of the most influential forces in sports, entertainment, and culture—Constance Schwartz-Morini. She’s the mastermind behind some of the biggest names in the game—Michael Strahan, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Coach Prime, Erin Andrews, and the Bella Twins. And today, she’s pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to build a brand, create opportunities, and dominate multiple industries. Constance is a visionary. She doesn’t just manage talent—she sees limitless potential in people before they even see it in themselves. She’s the reason Michael Strahan went from NFL legend to media powerhouse. She encouraged Coach Prime to step into the head coaching role when no one else believed he could. And she’s built SMAC Entertainment into more than a talent management company—it’s a business incubator that helps people win big. In this episode, she shares the mindset, strategy, and work ethic required to t

The Hidden Gift Inside Every Setback What if the biggest failures in your life were actually setting you up for something far greater? In this episode, I sit down with some of the best to ever do it—Troy Aikman, Phil Mickelson, Sean Casey, Dean Graziosi, and Brendon Burchard—to break down how setbacks can be the turning point that leads to your greatest success. Troy Aikman opens up about his brutal 0-11 rookie season and how he refused to let failure define him, going on to win three Super Bowls. Phil Mickelson shares how one of his most painful losses in golf led to his most unexpected victory. Sean Casey talks about how learning to see failure as feedback transformed his approach in baseball and in life. Dean Graziosi reveals the deeply personal decision that changed the course of his life, and Brendon Burchard explains why fear of failure is often the thing keeping us from our highest potential. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, mindset, and learning how to turn setbacks into stepping stones

Are you carrying weights that are holding you back? Most people think success is about adding more—more habits, more strategies, more effort. But what if the real secret is dropping what no longer serves you? The truth is, your ability to rise is directly connected to what you’re willing to let go of. Whether it’s toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, or bad habits, the weights in your life are keeping you from elevating to the next level. In this episode, I’m sharing 12 life lessons that have shaped my journey—truths that will help you break free and move forward. These aren’t just theories; they come from personal experience, the mistakes I’ve made, and the lessons I’ve learned. From understanding the power of forgiveness to realizing that waiting for the “perfect time” is a trap, these lessons will help you create real momentum in your life. One of the biggest wake-up calls? You will lose 60-80% of your friends when you upgrade your life. Not everyone is meant to go with you on your journey. And that’s
