  • The True Cost of Wasted Energy

    The True Cost of Wasted Energy
    Apr 23 2026
    In today’s episode, I answer live audience questions about the tension between ambition and surrender, and how to stop wasting energy on what pulls us off course. I talk about why time matters so much, how to balance business, family, faith, health, and finances, and what it means to stay aligned in both the human experience and the infinite. I also share my thoughts on spotting toxicity, asking uncomfortable questions, learning from setbacks, and knowing when growth is happening versus when anxiety is taking over. Along the way, I reflect on parenting, mentorship, education, and the habits that help us recover, refocus, and move forward with purpose.

  • The Power of Doing More with Less

    The Power of Doing More with Less
    Apr 22 2026
    In today’s episode, I break down what it really means to do more with less by designing better systems instead of pushing harder. I share how efficiency comes from eliminating friction through automation, delegation, and intentional focus, even in the smallest daily habits. I walk through why fixing the whole system matters more than reacting to symptoms, and how culture is built through what we reward, not what we say. I also get into ownership, accountability, and replacing what’s broken instead of resisting it. When our systems, communication, and intention align, effort decreases, clarity improves, and results begin to compound in a meaningful way.

  • The One Question That Closes Every Deal

    The One Question That Closes Every Deal
    Apr 21 2026
    In today’s episode, I talk about why great opportunities show up far outside your assigned industry, and how business becomes easier when you stop thinking in narrow categories. I share what I’m building next, from a book centered on my five daily practices to a TV concept focused on giving promising entrepreneurs a real second chance. I also talk about handling rejection, staying persistent, and giving better meaning to setbacks over time. Along the way, I break down the difference between discipline and devotion, why harmony matters more than balance, how to think about risk tolerance, and what actually helps you stand out when everyone else is competing for attention.

  • How to Shift from Scarcity to Abundance

    How to Shift from Scarcity to Abundance
    Apr 20 2026
    In this episode, I remind you that giving doesn’t take away; it expands you. When you give with intention, you increase your capacity to receive and put yourself in the flow of more. I talk about why you have to give first, and how scarcity interferes with everything you want. What you give, time, energy, and encouragement is exactly what you strengthen in your life. When you shift from not enough to more than enough, and stay aligned in how you give, receive, and ask, you create a cycle that works for you. That’s how you live in abundance.

    The Power Of Knowing Your Worth
    Apr 19 2026
    In today’s episode, I sit down with Cindy Eckert, an entrepreneur whose journey redefines what it means to know your worth. From turning down a $900 million offer to ultimately closing a billion-dollar exit, Cindy shares how she separated perceived value from true bottom line. We talk about structuring deals the right way, how she regained her company for $1, and the lessons learned from that process. Cindy also opens up about building a company in women’s health, pushing through skepticism, and shifting from proving yourself to creating real impact that changes lives.

  • Turning Criticism Into Real Momentum

    Turning Criticism Into Real Momentum
    Apr 18 2026
    In today’s episode, I join Brad Banyas on the SaltyMF GOAT Podcast for a conversation about bold decisions, clear values, and refusing to let other people limit your vision. I talk about naming a book in a way people remember, how negativity and criticism can become fuel, and why a one star review helped create momentum instead of stopping me. We also get into building a community of leaders, not followers, and how empowering others creates exponential impact over time. It’s a conversation about optimism, accountability, consistency, and removing the interference between you and your full potential.

  • Shortening The Distance Of Resistance

    Shortening The Distance Of Resistance
    Apr 17 2026
    In today’s episode, I talk with Hamed Mazrouei, founder and CEO of Milagro, about navigating the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship. I share how non-negotiable habits like sleep, health, family, and time management create stability, even when everything else feels chaotic. We discuss shortening the “distance of resistance,” learning to manage reactions to setbacks, and why aligning mindset, heartset, and handset is key to long-term success. I also reflect on losing over $100 million, rebuilding with greater faith and wisdom, and shifting from chasing outcomes to focusing on consistent behavior that creates a happy, healthy, and wealthy life.

  • The Pressure Of Early Success

    The Pressure Of Early Success
    Apr 16 2026
    In today’s episode, I sit down with former basketball prodigy Schea Cotton to talk about Manchild, the documentary built around his rise, setbacks, and everything he learned along the way. We get into how being labeled “the next big thing” can distort your mindset, why mentorship matters when praise gets loud, and how faith, family, and resilience shape long-term success. Schea opens up about mental health, including a moment that nearly ended everything, and how he now meets kids where they are by asking a simple question: where does it hurt? We also talk about purpose, discipline, and why the journey matters more than the outcome.
