   What if the reason you're not wealthy yet has nothing to do with how much money you make — and everything to do with the habits you haven't built?

   In this mashup episode, I'm bringing you one of the most eye-opening and practical conversations about money, wealth-building, and financial discipline I've ever had on the show. If you've ever wondered who actually becomes a millionaire, what it really takes to get there, and whether you're on track — this episode is for you. I'm breaking down the real statistics behind wealth in America, and the numbers will surprise you. Less than 0.1% of people make a million dollars a year five years in a row. The income gap between the top 1% and everyone else is widening at an accelerating rate. And yet, people making $500,000+ a year are four times more likely to file bankruptcy than the average person. Making money and keeping money are two completely different skills — and most people only have one of them, if that.

   I share the financial mistakes I've made personally — cars repossessed, homes foreclosed on, power and water shut off — and how those painful experiences forced me to build the habits that eventually created wealth. Whether you make minimum wage or seven figures, the habits of a wealthy person must start where you are right now — not when you "make more." Because the truth is, if you don't save money when you're making very little, you won't save it when you're making a lot.

   This mashup also dives deep into the number one skill every entrepreneur must develop: the ability to persuade and influence. I break down how to become evangelical about your mission, how to transfer energy, why repetition is the mother of skill, and why most people dramatically overestimate their ability to communicate. I sit down with Jen Gottlieb to talk about why building a personal brand is the greatest investment you can make right no…

   Everybody wants the next level. Very few people ask what the next level costs. This week is about the Law of Sacrifice — the principle that growth is not just about what you add to your life, but what you are willing to release.

   Law 18 in John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the Law of Sacrifice, and John teaches it with one of the most demanding lines in the entire series: a leader must give up to go up. I open this episode by breaking down why greater leadership usually brings greater responsibility, not greater comfort, and why your willingness to sacrifice often has to grow with your influence.

   I share the difference between early-career sacrifice and later-career sacrifice, because what got you to one level can become the very thing that keeps you from the next. Maybe being involved in every detail helped you build the company, but now it prevents the company from scaling. Maybe being the smartest person in the room made you feel safe, but now it keeps stronger people from wanting to work with you. Growth requires subtraction too.

   I also explain why sacrifice is not the glorification of misery. It is alignment. Great leaders do not sacrifice randomly — they sacrifice intentionally, giving up lower priorities for higher ones, ego for mission, convenience for calling, and immediate gratification for long-term significance. And I walk you through what I call the sacrifice exchange: a two-column exercise to close the gap between what you say you want and what you are willing to pay for it.

   Here is what you will gain from this episode:

   Give up to go up: Why every new level of leadership requires you to build something and leave something behind.

3. Jesse Itzler: Play Life On OFFENSE | How to Build an Epic Life Resume

   Jesse Itzler is back on the show, and this conversation goes deeper than business. From founding Marquis Jet (sold to Berkshire Hathaway's NetJets) to co-founding ZICO Coconut Water (sold to Coca-Cola), Jesse's entrepreneurial resume speaks for itself — but what he really wants to talk about is your life resume. Lees meer

   In this episode, Jesse and Ed unpack the mindset shifts that separate people who exist from people who live. Jesse shares the concept of "last visit energy" — a practice born from visiting his aging parents that completely changed how he shows up for the people he loves. They discuss why most people play life on defense, letting other people fill their calendars, and how Jesse flips the script by aggressively planning his life years in advance.

   You'll learn about the Japanese tradition of Misogi — picking one big, year-defining challenge every single year — and why Jesse believes if you can't find one day every eight weeks for yourself, your work-life balance is broken. They dig into friend reduction, the power of "yes, and" people, why grit is the biggest indicator of future success, and the sobering truth that 80 is still 80.

   This one will make you think differently about time, presence, and what you're putting on your calendar.

   🔥 Here's What You'll Gain From This Episode

   • The "Life Resume" framework — why your work resume fills itself in, but your life resume takes intention, and how to start building one that actually matters

   • "Last visit energy" — a mindset shift that will change how you show up for the people you love, starting today

   • The Misogi method — how to pick one big, year-defining challenge every year so you can look back and actually remember your life

   • Playing life on offense — Jesse's system for aggressively planning your calendar before other people fill it for you

   • The mini-adventure strategy — one day every eight weeks that could give you 300 unforgettable experiences over a lifetime

   What if the secret to getting people to like you, trust you, and say YES has almost nothing to do with what you say and EVERYTHING to do with how you make them feel? Lees meer

   In this powerful mashup episode, I'm bringing together some of the greatest minds in communication, persuasion, and human connection to reveal one of the most important skills you can ever develop: the ability to make people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I'm joined by Charles Duhigg, Zoe Chance, Eric Thomas, Lewis Howes, Chris Voss, and Dean Graziosi to break down what separates people who struggle to connect from those who can walk into any room and instantly build trust and influence. Whether you're trying to grow a business, close a deal, strengthen your marriage, or become a better leader, these conversations will completely change how you interact with the people around you.

   Charles Duhigg shares an incredible story about a struggling CIA agent who became one of the agency's greatest recruiters, not by becoming a better persuader, but by learning to connect emotionally. He also reveals a powerful three-step communication technique called "looping for understanding" that can transform even your most difficult conversations. Zoe Chance breaks down the science of charisma and why people make decisions emotionally first and justify them logically second. She reveals that the two most important ingredients of charisma are connection and confidence, and that you don't have to be the loudest or most impressive person in the room to become the most influential.

   Eric Thomas brings a perspective that every leader needs to hear: you cannot truly influence people you haven't taken the time to understand. He explains why the greatest communicators stop focusing on what THEY want to say and start discovering what other people actually need. In my conversation with Lewis Howes, I share the three principles that have helped me build extraordinary success: identifying your greatest gifts, genuinely ca…

   Being busy is one of the easiest ways to lie to yourself. You can work twelve hours a day, answer every email, take every meeting, and still go home without moving your life or your business an inch. This week is about the difference between activity and accomplishment, and why great leaders refuse to confuse the two.
   Law 17 in John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the Law of Priorities, and I believe it is the most practical law in the entire series. We live in an economy of distraction where everyone wants a piece of your attention, and if you are not intentional, you can give your entire life away ten minutes at a time. I open this episode by breaking down why leadership gets harder as opportunities multiply, and why the real skill is knowing what not to do.
   John teaches this one from lived experience. More than thirty years ago, a single paragraph in a college business textbook changed the way he works, and he has been a student of priorities ever since. He explains why he only does four things, and he walks through the three questions he uses to find the top twenty percent that drives his results.
   I'll share how I divide my day into three mini days, challenge you to build a standard around your time, and give you a priority audit to run before the week begins. I also ask what truly deserves your best energy in this season of your life.
   Here is what you will gain from this episode:

   Activity vs. accomplishment: Why a full day can feel productive and still leave your life exactly where it was.

   Three priority questions: The simple filter that helps you find the few things worth your best energy.

   The Pareto principle: What it says about how you spend your time and the people you spend it with.

   Time compression: How three mini days help you evaluate and adjust faster than a single 24-hour day.

   You are not stuck with the person you have been.

   Darryl Strawberry is back on the show! His last visit was one of the most shared episodes we have ever done. This time he went deeper, and I got emotional sitting across from him.Darryl was one of the greatest players I have ever watched: seventeen years in the big leagues, Rookie of the Year, four World Series.

   He has also lived through addiction, cancer twice, the loss of a kidney, and a heart attack. When they wheeled him into surgery, he told God he was okay either way.

   He has had to start over more than once, and he tells you exactly how he did it.

   I ask him the question so many people are carrying right now: Who am I when the thing I built my identity on is gone? A marriage, a business, a career, a title?

   I share how the imposter syndrome still shows up for me and how i handle it. Then I lay out my belief that God plants two or three real gifts in each of us, and that they get revealed through pain and through serving others. I push Darryl on how you stay confident and fierce while still surrendering your life to God, and Darryl answers with total honesty.

   Here's what you'll gain from this episode:

   Identity after the loss: What to do when the thing you built yourself on is gone.

   The disqualification lie: Why the mistakes you think rule you out may be what qualifies you.

   Pain and service: The two doors that reveal gifts you did not know you had.

   Surrender and self-belief: How to stay fierce while still giving up the wheel.

   Other people's opinions: How Darryl handled millions of people forming a view of him.

   The operating room: What he said to God on the way in, and why it will stay with you.

   Game 6, 1986: What really went on in that dugout, and I make this Red Sox fan relive it.

   Darryl said it better than I can: you did not get into this mess overnight, so you will not get out of it overnight. But…

   What if the moment you think you have nothing left is actually the moment you discover what you're truly capable of? Lees meer

   In this mashup episode, I'm bringing you one of the most powerful examples of human endurance and mental toughness I've ever encountered with James Lawrence, better known as the Iron Cowboy. James has built his life around doing what most people would call impossible, and this conversation isn't really about endurance sports. It's about YOU. It's about what happens when life gets painful, when your mind starts begging you to stop, and when the distance between where you are and where you want to be feels overwhelming. James is living proof that your perceived limits are rarely your actual limits.

   James and I break down what it takes to keep moving when everything inside of you wants to quit. The biggest battles aren't always physical. They're the negotiations happening inside your own mind. We talk about eliminating those negotiations, breaking enormous goals into the next manageable step, and understanding that you don't need to see the entire path to keep moving forward. Sometimes winning is simply making it to the next minute, the next mile, the next rep, or the next decision. That's how impossible things eventually become possible.

   We also get into something I believe with everything in me: confidence is built through keeping promises to yourself. Every time you say you're going to do something and follow through, especially when it's difficult, you're building evidence about who you are. James didn't wake up one morning with superhuman mental toughness. He built it through adversity, repetition, discipline, and consistently expanding what he believed he could endure. That's available to you too. You don't have to become an Ironman to apply these principles. You can use them in your business, your relationships, your health, your faith, and every dream you're chasing.

   I want you to hear this episode and reconsider every limit you've placed on…

   What if the one thing you’ve been missing isn’t talent, discipline, or a better plan, but momentum?

   Have you ever noticed that when life is going well, everything seems to start going well all at once? One good decision leads to another. One win changes your confidence, then your energy, and suddenly the people around you start believing too. That force is invisible, it is powerful, and it is what takes you from good to great. John Maxwell calls it a leader’s best friend.

   John has spent decades teaching leaders how to create, protect, and recover momentum, and in Law 16, The Law of Big Mo, he teaches it with the stories and illustrations that make it stick. He shows why the same team can look brilliant one season and broken the next, and what a leader controls in between.

   I open this episode by breaking down where momentum actually begins, and it is a lot smaller than most people think. I challenge you to stop waiting for motivation, because movement comes first and feeling follows. I walk through what momentum looks like in your confidence, your marriage, your health, your finances, and your team.

   You do not need perfection to build confidence. You need progress.

   Here is what you will gain from this episode:

   Where it starts: The smallest move that sets the whole chain in motion.

   The wall and the block: What a speeding train and a stopped train teach you about your biggest problems.

   Managers vs. leaders: Why one group works on problems and the other works on something else entirely.

   The great exaggerator: How momentum changes the way you and your team are seen, for better or worse.

   Thermostat or thermometer: The question every leader has to answer.

   You can’t think your way out of a thought loop. You have to show your body it’s safe to let go.

   I get stuck in thought loops. For years, rumination served me as an entrepreneur because I never missed a detail, but it also exhausted me, and it exhausted the people around me. A mutual friend introduced me to tapping years ago, and it changed how fast I can shift my state. I’ve wanted Nick Ortner on this show for a couple of years, because he is the best in the world at teaching it.

   Nick first saw tapping at a Tony Robbins leadership conference and spent the next few years tapping with friends and family for free. In 2007 he put $40,000 of camera equipment on credit cards to film a documentary about it. He has spent the last two decades, building, The Tapping Solution, whose app has now reached 18 million sessions, tackling the thing most of us fight daily: overthinking.

   I came into this conversation asking the hard hitters. I asked Nick whether tapping is just a pattern interrupt or a real change in your biology. I pressed him on the sympathetic and parasympathetic states and the vagus nerve. I shared how my own rumination wore me down, and I told him how I turn to his work with the professional athletes I work with when visualization and breathing stop being enough.

   Then I tapped along with Nick myself and felt my focus come back.

   We also run a live session with Thomas, a friend of mine and a nine-figure entrepreneur working 16 and 17 hour days, and you will watch his number move in real time. Near the end, Nick walks you through your own five-minute session, so you'll get to try it firsthand.

   Here’s what you’ll gain from this episode:

10. 15 Success Habits to Mastering Anything in Life

    Most people quit right before it works.
    Every skill I’ve ever mastered started out ugly. Then it got a little awkward. And then things finally started to mesh. I’ve learned that the awkward stage is where most dreams quietly die. This weekend special pulls together teachings and a conversation I believe can help you get through that stage faster.
    I break down the stages every pursuit moves through and why so much progress stays invisible. I walk through the habits that turn a goal into a result, challenge you to look at your own scoreboard, and share what starting from scratch has taught me. I also admit the one thing I do out loud that probably looks a little crazy.
    Then I sit down with Jon Gordon, a bestselling author and leadership expert who earned his optimism the hard way and now works with elite coaches, teams and leaders. He shares the stories and ideas behind his work, and I press him on how he lived them when everything got hard.
    Here’s what you’ll gain from this episode: Lees meer

    The Path of Mastery: The stages every skill goes through, and the spot where most people bail out.

    Hidden Progress: What is happening beneath the surface when it feels like nothing is working.

    Goals and Habits: Seven moves that connect what you want to what you do each day.

    A Better Response to Pressure: A simple picture of how to handle the heat when life turns it up.

    Five Forces That Pull You Off Course: Jon’s framework for what holds people back, plus the answer to each one.

    You’re making more progress than you think you are. Press play and stay in the fight a little longer than feels comfortable.
    You are much closer than you think!
