  • Getting More Enlightened – How It Happens
    Aug 21 2025

    In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the process of getting more enlightened. Exactly how it happens. They take a stroll down memory lane in each area of their lives and look at how they have become more enlightened. They start with career. John talks about launching into becoming an entrepreneur when he was 30. The lesson he got is always be in the control position. He then talks about learning in his 50s the six components of doing his best. John points out that in his 40s but he was delusional as to what doing his best was. In his 40s, he thought it was just getting up early. In his 50s he realized there were six components to doing his best. Including understanding how the human mind works.

    Then John talks about the Epiphany he got at 50 from reading the book Think and Grow Rich. Discovering that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. During this discussion of career John and Kelly talk about the four different types of people. And the importance of understanding how different people process the same information differently. Then John and Kelly talk about what they’ve learned in health. This is really interesting. John talks about reading the book younger next year when he was 48. Moving from exercising three days a week to six days a week. And John talks about how his enlightenment on health has been greatly increased by recently reading Peter Atia’s book Outlive. This is made him way more knowledgeable about health. Then John and Kelly talk about the impact of getting more enlightened in marriage. Embracing our partner’s differences.

To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

    When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

  • Four Powerful Emotions – That Will Instantly Change Your Life
    Aug 7 2025

    In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly play a short clip from the legendary Jim Rohn, one of the founders of the personal growth industry. He talks about four powerful emotions that will instantly change your life. John then plays the clip. After the clip, John and Kelly talk about it. One of the emotions discussed is getting to the point where you say “I’ve had it”. John notes two times in his life when he had reached this point. Another one of the emotions is the attitude of get it done – rather than continuing to try to make a decision. This is so true. People will agonize over making a decision. It’s paralysis by analysis.

    The other powerful emotion is desire. The “want to” to make a change in one’s life. And then the last one is resolve. Being determined to make the change. Then John and Kelly talk about something John is observing in a number of people he is close with. At around the age of 30, people are trying to really figure out what they’re going to do for career. That’s a natural time because it takes until you’re about 30 to figure out what your strength is and know what’s up in the real world.

    John gives the advice to figure out your strength and play into it. And don’t be deluded by things you could do. You could probably do a lot of things. But you have to play into what your unique talent is. And factor in the future. Things are changing so quickly you have to figure out what career has longevity to it. You also have to understand what stage of life you’re in. And are you living in a city that facilitates your stage of life.
