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.

• The 95% Rule: 95% of your daily actions are unconscious, and they determine your success.
• The Missing Secret: What you envision in detail with emotion daily is what shows up in your life.
• The 12-Minute Technique: Feed your subconscious a precise articulation of your ideal life to make the right actions automatic.
• Five Life Areas: Self, health, romantic relationship, spirituality, and career.
• Why Most People Fail: For 98% of people, more success is just a preference—not a commitment.
• From Scarcity to Legacy: How John went from feeling average to teaching success science at the University of Texas.

In this episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with Bronson Hill, author of Fire Yourself and founder of Bronson Equity. Bronson shares his journey from a high-paid medical sales career to building a life of freedom through real estate, oil and gas investments, and private businesses.

They explore the myths of passive income, the mindset required to achieve financial independence, and why so many people never break free from jobs they hate—even when they have the resources to do so.

Bronson unpacks his blueprint for replacing your working income in three years or less, his perspective on market cycles, and the crucial importance of wealth worthiness.

• There’s no truly passive income: Even so-called “passive” investments require upfront work and ongoing oversight.
• Time is more valuable than money: You can always make more money, but never more time.
• Wealth worthiness matters: If you don’t believe you deserve wealth, you’ll sabotage opportunities.
• The power of visualization: Imagine your future self daily—your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined success.
• Be nimble with investments: When an asset class gets overheated, shift to where the cash flow and opportunity are.

“You can make more money, but you can’t make more time.” – Bronson Hill

“If you have a big enough why, you’ll figure out the how.” – Rodric Lenhart

“A lot of people think you have to come from money to become wealthy. But 86% of millionaires are self-made.” – Bronson Hill
