Episode Summary:

What if 95% of your daily actions were happening without your conscious control? And what if you could take command of them—just 12 minutes a day?

In this episode, Rodric sits down with John Mitchell, entrepreneur, speaker, and author of The Missing Secret. At 50 years old, John realized he was living an “average life” despite his potential. His deep dive into Think and Grow Rich led him to uncover the book’s elusive full secret—one that helped him 25x his income and find the love of his life.

John explains the science behind why most people never achieve their dreams, how to gain control over unconscious daily actions, and why this method works only for the top 2% committed to success. Along the way, Rodric and John explore personal stories, mindset shifts, and the power of structured visioning to transform every area of life.

Whether you’re running a $50M business or just starting out, this episode will challenge your assumptions and show you a repeatable, science-backed way to play the game of life at a higher level.
