What happens when mindset, faith, and emotional intelligence collide? You get this raw, powerful episode featuring Robert Collins—motivational speaker, community leader, and author of Greater Thoughts: The Untrapped Mind.

We go deep.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why Robert walked away from his 15-year career with no exit plan—and what happened next
• How attending a speaker’s conference turned into a spiritual revival (including a surprise baptism!)
• The real reason his original book idea got scrapped—and how Greater Thoughts was born in the shower
• His method for reframing negative thoughts before they spiral into emotional avalanches
• How journaling, silence, and gratitude became his armor in life and leadership
• Why unprocessed trauma shows up in how you parent, lead, and love—and how to stop passing it on
  
  

We talk faith. We talk neuroscience. We talk EQ. And we don’t hold back.

If you’re ready to shift your mindset and start living from a deeper, more emotionally grounded place, this episode is for you.

💥 Tony shares raw truths about the racial climate, the power of community, and what it means to truly chase greatness – not fame. From redefining “underdog” to discussing the invisible pressures on young Black men, this conversation challenges cultural norms and unearths how vulnerability, mindset shifts, and purpose-driven leadership can shape resilient, emotionally intelligent future leaders.

• Why mindset, not muscle, determines greatness
• How Tony helps students develop plans beyond the 1% shot at the NFL
• What Black men really need in the mental wellness space
• The 3 things you can control (and how they shape your future)
• Nicole’s powerful reminder: Don’t settle for good when great is calling
  
  

🗣️ “You can’t cheat the process—you have to love the process.”
🔥 “There’s a long line to be good. But the line to be great? That’s where the work begins.”

🎧 Tune in to hear how one man’s pivot turned into a global purpose—and why it might be time to sign your own pledge to become an underdog on purpose.
