    They Didn’t Think They Were Good Enough...Until They Did This | Ed Mylett
    Feb 14 2026
    What if the only thing standing between you and your next level is the story you keep telling yourself about not being good enough? In this mashup, I bring together some of the toughest, most battle tested men and women I know to talk about something almost nobody wants to admit. That quiet voice that says you do not belong here. That you are not ready. That you are going to get exposed. You are going to hear from Michael Chandler, Damar Hamlin, Fallon Taylor, Andre Ward, Michael Chandler, Jason Wilson, and Dean Graziosi as they open up about imposter syndrome, doubt, setbacks, and the defining decision to rise anyway. Michael Chandler talks about the thermometer in your life and how many of us unconsciously cool ourselves down when success starts heating up. He shares how a little bit of imposter syndrome can keep you humble and hungry, but how letting it dominate your thinking will sabotage everything. Andre Ward breaks down what it really means to absorb a punch and still throw one back. Not just in the ring, but in life. Fallon Taylor and Damar Hamlin remind us that sometimes you do not find your strength until you are forced to confront your fragility. Jason Wilson speaks powerfully about identity and manhood, and what it takes to believe you are worthy of the stage you are standing on. Dean Graziosi brings it home with the truth that you cannot give away what you have not built within yourself first. One of the biggest themes in this episode is preparation. Confidence is not something you wish for. It is something you earn. When you prepare at a level that most people are unwilling to, you begin to silence that voice that says you do not belong. The separator in life is not talent. It is the ability to take a hit, keep your composure, and keep moving forward without obsessing over what everyone else thinks. You are going to hear story after story of people who did not feel ready, did not feel qualified, did not feel worthy, but chose to act anyway. They did not wait for the doubt to disappear. They built a new self concept through action, discipline, faith, and relentless preparation. That is how you close the gap between who you are today and who you are capable of becoming. If you have ever questioned whether you belong in the room, whether you are capable of the dream in your heart, this episode is for you. You were not born average. You were not born to sit on the sidelines of your own life. You were born to max it out. And the moment you decide you are worthy of the stage is the moment everything begins to change. Key Takeaways Why a small amount of imposter syndrome can fuel growth, but letting it dominate will cap your potential How preparation builds real confidence that no critic can take away The true separator in life is the ability to absorb a punch and keep throwing Why your self concept determines the temperature of your success How to stop worrying about public perception and start running your own race The power of earning your belief in yourself through discipline and action Why you have a duty to maximize your gifts so you can serve others at a higher level 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • How To Overcome Your Self Doubt with Dr. Shadé Zahrai

    How To Overcome Your Self Doubt with Dr. Shadé Zahrai
    Feb 10 2026
    What If Self-Confidence Isn’t the Answer and Self-Trust Is What You’ve Been Missing? Most people think the opposite of self-doubt is confidence. In this conversation, Dr. Shadé Zahrai completely flips that belief on its head. She is a behavioral researcher, bestselling author of Big Trust, and one of the most insightful minds I’ve ever sat down with when it comes to understanding why high performers still struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and that constant feeling of not being enough. I’ll be honest, her work challenged some of the things I’ve taught for years, and that’s exactly why this episode matters. We dive deep into why waiting to feel confident is keeping so many people stuck and why self-trust always has to come first. Dr. Zahrai breaks down the four core attributes that shape how we experience doubt, including acceptance, agency, autonomy, and emotional adaptability. She explains why doubt isn’t something to eliminate, but something to rise above by strengthening who you are underneath it. If you’ve ever felt like an anxious overachiever who keeps pushing but never quite feels settled, you’re going to feel seen in this conversation. One of the most powerful parts of this episode is how expectation bias quietly shapes your reality. Dr. Zahrai shares fascinating research that shows how the scars you believe you’re carrying can completely change how you experience conversations, relationships, and opportunities, even when those scars are not real. We also talk about why validation from achievement, praise, or external approval is one of the most dangerous traps high performers fall into and why it leaves so many successful people feeling empty. We also get extremely practical. Dr. Zahrai walks through tools that actually work, including how to stop obsessing over outcomes, how to quiet the inner critical voices that sabotage momentum, and why self-forgetting through service is one of the fastest ways to restore confidence. I also share a technique from her book that has already changed how I deal with worry, and if you’re someone who struggles with anxiety or rumination, this alone is worth listening to the episode. This conversation is not surface-level motivation. It’s real inner work. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you know you’re capable of becoming, this episode will give you a framework to rebuild trust in yourself and move forward with clarity and peace. Key Takeaways Why self-trust always comes before confidence and action The four core attributes that protect you from self-doubt How expectation bias shapes your relationships and results Why obsession with outcomes erodes self-belief A simple daily practice to reduce worry and overthinking How to quiet your inner critic without forcing fake positivity Listen now, and start building the kind of trust in yourself that no setback can take away.

  • 9 Mindset Shifts to Escape the Achievement Trap | Ed Mylett

    9 Mindset Shifts to Escape the Achievement Trap | Ed Mylett
    Feb 7 2026
    What happens when winning stops feeling like enough and achievement quietly turns into a trap? In this mashup episode, I want to talk about something I see all the time with high performers. People who are doing well on the outside but feel empty, restless, or disconnected on the inside. This conversation is about escaping the achievement trap and redefining success in a way that actually brings peace, fulfillment, and joy. I sit down with LeAnn Rimes to unpack what it looks like to grow up chasing validation and applause, only to realize later that external success cannot heal internal wounds. LeAnn opens up about the emotional cost of performing for approval, the courage it takes to slow down, and how self awareness and self compassion became the real breakthroughs in her life. Her honesty is powerful and it speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt pressure to keep proving themselves. I also bring in Rob Dyrdek, who shares how redefining his definition of winning changed everything. Rob talks about shifting from grinding nonstop to building a life by design, where happiness, relationships, and impact matter just as much as productivity. This is a masterclass in intentional living and understanding that fulfillment is not found in the next milestone, but in alignment with who you really are. Throughout this mashup, I break down the mindset shifts that help you move from chasing achievements to creating meaning. We talk about why so many driven people feel unfulfilled, how comparison fuels the trap, and what it actually takes to feel proud of your life, not just your resume. If you have ever thought, I should feel happier than this by now, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Why constant achievement can quietly disconnect you from fulfillment How external validation creates pressure instead of peace The mindset shift from proving yourself to accepting yourself How to redefine success in a way that supports happiness and relationships Why slowing down can actually accelerate clarity and purpose This is about learning to win without losing yourself. It is about success that feels good to live with, not just impressive to look at. My hope is that this episode gives you permission to redefine the game and start playing it in a way that truly serves you. ⁠⁠⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

I have been following Ed for years and was so disgusted to see him trying to increase his book sales by promoting profits to go to victims of the latest tragedy. If his intentions were pure he would refer people to the organisation helping victims families directly - not push people to buy his book so that he can move higher on the best sale list. A disgusting attempt to benefit off another’s suffering. He is a rich man - if his intentions were pure and completely selfless he would donate directly and discreetly. What a sham of a man. Disappointing that I thought he had values. So many people are being exposed for who they really are. So wrong on so many levels. Enjoy your best seller Ed! Brought to you by the tragic death of many children. I don’t know how you sleep at night. No one should be benefiting off this tragic event.

Disgraceful using the latest tragedy for personal gain
