Are you successful on paper, but still feel empty inside?
Have you ever wondered why hustle culture rewards suffering but postpones joy?
What if the belief system driving your success is the very thing draining your happiness?

In this episode, we break down the Tony Robbins and Alex Hormozi interview that quietly turned into a powerful live coaching session 🤯. What Tony Robbins exposed wasn't about tactics, productivity hacks, or how to scale a business. It was about the belief system running hustle culture and why so many high achievers feel burned out, unfulfilled, and disconnected despite massive success.

If you've ever believed that success requires sacrifice, suffering, or grinding at the expense of your health, relationships, or peace, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about achievement. We explore why the "fuck happiness" mindset is dangerous for high achievers, how productivity without alignment leads to burnout, and what success without sacrifice actually looks like in real life.

This video dives deep into identity shifting, the entrepreneur mindset shift Tony Robbins invited Alex Hormozi into, and why redefining success is essential if you want to build wealth without losing joy 😌. You'll learn how hustle culture trains people to equate suffering with strength, why success can still feel empty, and how to move toward aligned success that feels fulfilling instead of exhausting.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, creator, or high performer questioning the grind, this episode is about breaking free from hustle culture, becoming your future self, and designing a life rooted in purpose driven success 🌱. If you're ready to redefine who you are, reconnect with what actually matters, and build success without struggle, this message is for you.

👉 Watch until the end if you've ever felt successful but unfulfilled, productive but disconnected, or ambitious yet exhausted because you're not broken, and you don't need to
suffer to succeed.

Why do small things trigger big fights in relationships?
Have you ever wondered why you keep reacting to your partner even when you don't want to?
And why does it feel like the argument is never really about the thing you're arguing about?

In this episode of Real Influence, Joey breaks down why small things trigger you in relationships and how those moments are often tied to old emotional patterns, inherited beliefs, and nervous system reactions you didn't consciously choose 🤓.

If you've ever asked yourself "why do tiny annoyances turn into big arguments?" or "why do I overreact to my partner?", this conversation will hit home.

We explore why small things cause big fights, how reacting versus responding in relationships shapes connection, and what's actually happening in your body when you feel triggered 😄. Joey explains relationship triggers, defensiveness, and emotional reactions in relationships, helping you see conflict not as a failure but as information.

This episode is especially for anyone stuck in repeating relationship patterns, struggling with communication in long-term relationships, or feeling frustrated that awareness alone hasn't stopped the same arguments from happening again. You'll learn how to stop fighting over small things, how to respond instead of react, and how to interrupt the automatic reactions that damage connection.

We also dive into how childhood conditioning shows up in adult relationships, why resentment builds quietly, and how emotional regulation in relationships starts with self-awareness, not control 🤍. If you're searching for how to heal relationship triggers, how to stop being defensive with your partner, or why your partner triggers you so easily, this episode gives you language and clarity.

This isn't relationship advice about fixing your partner. It's about breaking emotional loops, choosing conscious response, and learning how to create healthier, calmer, more connected relationships from the inside out.

Have you done therapy, gained awareness, and still feel stuck in the same patterns?
What if the issue isn't therapy but the level of support you're using?

In this episode of Real Influence, it breaks down therapy vs coaching and explains why therapy often stops working for high achievers who already understand their patterns but can't create lasting change.

This is not an anti-therapy conversation. It's an evolution conversation.

Joey shares his personal post-divorce therapy experience, the ceiling of talk therapy, and the exact moment he realized awareness without action was keeping him trapped. You'll learn the different levels of personal growth, when processing is helpful, when it becomes a loop, and why coaching pairs mindset with execution to create real momentum.

If you're successful on paper but feel unfulfilled, burned out, or quietly stuck, this episode will help you identify whether your current support is empowering you or enabling you.

You'll also learn:

👉 Why venting without action creates dependency

👉 The difference between insight and embodiment

👉 How the state of the teacher affects results

👉 Why tools matter more than talk

👉 How to know when it's time to upgrade your growth

🎯 Ready to redesign your life from the inside out?
