About this listen

 Total Disruption with Dr. Jake Clendenning & Michael Libercci Remember when you started your business because you wanted freedom—and somehow ended up more trapped than ever? Yeah. We've been there too. Dr. Jake Clendenning (CEO, author, recovering perfectionist) and Michael Libercci (business strategist, straight-shooter extraordinaire) have coached hundreds of entrepreneurs out of survival mode and into total market domination. Now they're pulling back the curtain on everything they've learned—the wins, the face-plants, and the billion-dollar lessons most "experts" gatekeep. This is the podcast for entrepreneurs who are: → Sick of chasing tactics that worked for someone else's business → Tired of "hustle culture" that glorifies burnout → Ready to build influence that attracts opportunity instead of begging for it → Done settling for "good enough" when greatness is one framework away From the science of flow state to why your defensive mindset is sabotaging your growth, we go deep on the conversations you won't hear anywhere else. Plus, we bring on guests who've actually built the empires they teach about (novel concept, right?). New episodes every week. Raw. Real. Ruthlessly practical. Join The Guild. Master the KLT Formula. Become the entrepreneur your industry can't ignore. My Recommendation: Go with Option 1 if you want to stand out in a crowded space and attract high-conviction entrepreneurs who are sick of the noise. Go with Option 2 if you want to position Total Disruption as THE authority-building resource for serious business owners. Go with Option 3 if you want to build community and create that "this podcast gets me" feeling. Pro tip: Whatever you choose, make sure it includes: A provocative question or statement in the first 10 words Specific outcomes (not vague "business tips") Your unique mechanism (KLT Formula, Total Disruption methodology) A CTA (subscribe, join, transform) Social proof (LATPN, bestselling author, guest caliber) Career Success Economics Hygiene & Healthy Living Leadership Management & Leadership Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

    Delete What’s Broken Standards and Execution for Serious Operators S3E2
    Feb 27 2026
    Ever heard this lie? “If it worked in the past, it’ll work now—just grind harder.” Wrong. What got you here won’t get you there. On today’s TD Podcast, Mike Labersi and Dr. Clendenning call out the excuses, complacency, and stale habits keeping high performers stuck. You’ll hear how Blockbuster ignored reality and died, how shifting habits—fitness, finances, mindsets—demands ruthless self-awareness, and why adaptation isn’t optional. No entertainment. No fluff. Just direct accountability and cold, hard truth: - When success patterns fail, most people regress. - Comfort makes you defend broken systems—personal or professional. - Change starts in your head, not your environment. You want results? Stop rationalizing. Start disrupting. Let’s get to it. You just heard it. Now it's time to do something with it.

  • No Silver Bullets, Just Ruthless Consistency With Marc Fitzwater | S3E1

    No Silver Bullets, Just Ruthless Consistency With Marc Fitzwater | S3E1
    Feb 25 2026
    Most podcasts tiptoe around comfort zones. Not this one. Today on the Total Disruption Podcast, we cut polite applause and get to the real engine—Marc Fitzwater’s uncompromising approach to both life and business. From military structure to entrepreneurial chaos, Marc Fitzwater unpacks what it takes to build something that endures: relentless standards, zero ego, and total ownership. This episode? It’s not a feel-good highlight reel. It’s a playbook for high-performers sick of surface-level talk. We break down: - Why trading vulnerability for visibility is non-negotiable, even for Special Forces. - The fatal flaw of “working in” vs. “working on” your business—a distinction most never grasp. - How execution and alignment—not motivation—drive results, revenue, and impact. If you want entertainment, change shows. If you want to raise your standards, hit play. You just heard it. Now it's time to do something with it.

  • Comfort Is the Enemy of Character_ The 100-Salmon Day Story S2E50

    Comfort Is the Enemy of Character_ The 100-Salmon Day Story S2E50
    Feb 13 2026
    What separates high performers from everyone else isn’t talent—it’s their relationship with discomfort. In this powerful Total Disruption episode, Dr. Jake Clendenning and Michael Libercci unpack a timeless insight from Marcus Aurelius: comfort is the enemy of character. This episode isn’t about glorifying grind culture. It’s about understanding the moment comfort quietly turns into complacency. The hosts challenge entrepreneurs to raise their standards, embrace temporary discomfort, and build the mental toughness required for real growth. If you’ve been feeling stuck, stagnant, or suspiciously “too comfortable,” this conversation is your wake-up call. You just heard it. Now it's time to do something with it.
