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…

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIprGZAdzn3ZqgLmDuibYcw?sub_confirmation=1Everybody 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.

Jesse Itzler: Play Life On OFFENSE | How to Build an Epic Life Resume
27 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
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

How to Make Anyone Instantly Like You (Without Saying a Word) | Ed Mylett
24 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 34 min
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…

John Maxwell’s #17 Law of Leadership: The Law of Priorities

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…

This Will Save You 30+ Years of Wasted Life | Ed Mylett
17 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 53 min
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.

From Panic to Peace in 10 Minutes — The Tapping Solution with Nick Ortner

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:

15 Success Habits to Mastering Anything in Life
10 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 31 min
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 meerThe 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.

John Maxwell's #15 Law of Leadership: The Law of Victory

Anybody can lead when the scoreboard looks good. True leadership is revealed when you're behind.
Season three of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is here, and we open with Law 15: The Law of Victory. Every leader hits the moment when the plan stops working, the market shifts, or the numbers don't look the way they should.
In that moment, everybody looks at you with one question: do you still believe we can win?
John has spent a lifetime building leaders, and he teaches this law through the people he has watched live it, from presidents and prime ministers to a man who walked out the door on Thanksgiving Day and refused to come home until the job was done. His message is simple: leaders find a way for the team to win.
I know this lesson firsthand. I've felt lost. I've lost a little of my swagger. I've made moves that weren't right and didn't know the next one. In this episode, I break down why winners don't experience less adversity than anyone else, why your identity shows up in your losses instead of your wins, and why your team catches how you respond long before they hear a word you say.
Before you press play, ask yourself something. Have I actually lost, or have I just stopped looking for the way to win? Those are two totally different things.
In this episode you'll learn:
Finding a way vs. knowing the way: Why great leaders do not always have the answer, and what to do when it happens to you
The question that changes everything: The difference between "why is this happening to me" and what winners ask instead.
Contagious leadership: What your team picks up from your language, your tonality, and your patience under pressure.

The Sister of Nicole Brown Simpson Speaks Out
6 oktober 2026 · 56 min
What would you do if the person you love most was hiding something that could cost them their life? Lees meer
This conversation has been 32 years in the making for me. Early in my career, I shared an office with someone connected to the Brown family, and I was around them during the trial. I saw how kind and loving that family was, and I watched Denise carry the weight of her sister's murder in front of the entire world. I have three sisters and a daughter. This one is personal.
Denise Brown lost her best friend, her sister Nicole, in one of the most public tragedies in American history. Instead of disappearing, she testified before Congress, fought for the Violence Against Women Act, and has spent three decades working with shelters across this country so other families never feel what hers did.
I asked Denise the hard questions. Why Nicole never told her family. What she would say to her sister today. How she handled the mocking and criticism. And how one sentence from a pastor changed her relationship with God. What came out of it is a masterclass in honoring your family: keep showing up, keep learning, and keep fighting long after everyone else has moved on. Her new book, For My Sister Nicole: Love Shouldn't Hurt, belongs in the hands of anyone with a sister, a daughter, or a friend they would do anything to protect.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The silence that protects abusers: Why so many victims never tell the people closest to them, and what Nicole may have been protecting her family from.
The wrong things to say: Why your first instinct to help a loved one can push them further away.
The TRUST approach: A simple framework for supporting someone who isn't ready to leave.
Warning signs that start small: Why you don't need a black eye to be in danger.
Faith after tragedy: The words that lifted Denise's anger toward God.
Courage under criticism: How Denise stood for her sister while the whole world judged her.
Nicole never told her family becau…

How to Force Self-Discipline onto Autopilot | Ed Mylett
3 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 35 min
Self-discipline isn't something you're born with. It's something you can build until it runs on autopilot. Lees meer
This weekend I pulled together some of my favorite conversations on the one trait that changes everything. I open with five rules I've carried with me for over twenty years. They're the mindsets behind Tiger Woods and some of the most dominant athletes who ever lived. I've read them thousands of times, and they've shaped how I think about work, pressure, and what it really means to win.
Then I sit down with Mike O'Hearn, who started training at eight years old and is still getting better nearly four decades later. Mike tells me where his chip on the shoulder came from and what gets him out of bed at 3 a.m.
Tim Grover, the man who trained Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, settles a debate I've always wondered about and explains why the greatest are never satisfied.
Dean Graziosi went from a small blue-collar town to building one business after another. He pushes back hard on one of the most popular pieces of advice in entrepreneurship.
Alan Stein Jr., who has spent years around elite NBA performers, shares research on visualization that blew my mind. I share what visualization did for my own baseball career.
I close with something I feel deeply about: what conformity really costs you and why the lonely road is worth it.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The Dominator Mindset: The five rules that separate the greats from everyone else, and why they're mindsets, not just behaviors.
Decades of Dominance: What it takes to stay at your peak long after most people have quit.
The Never Satisfied Standard: Why the true greats work harder after they win, not before.
Go Deep Before You Go Wide: A take on building wealth every new entrepreneur needs to hear.
Train Your Mind First: How visualization and the right kind of stress can raise your game.
Color Outside the Lines: Why the life you want is waiting outside the picture you were handed.

Some of the best leadership lessons don't come from a script. They come from your questions.
Thousands of you sent questions in during Season 2 of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, so before we kick off Season 3, I sat down to answer them. No prep. Just my raw unfiltered answers.
I go deep on how to sell a dream so big that everyone on your team can see their own dreams inside it. How to carry real confidence without losing your humility, and one of the toughest questions I've been asked in a long time: what do you do when you're leading from underneath someone who feels threatened by you?
I open up about servant leadership, about letting go of the need for credit, and about why I stopped micromanaging a long time ago.
Then Max, my son, asked me how to get ready for the leader's legacy, and that's where it got personal. Having my son sitting across from me while I talked about what really lasts made this one hit different. I think you'll feel it too.
At the end of your life, you won't be sitting around with your trophies. You'll be sitting around with your people. That's the legacy, and that's why I want you to hear this one.

John Paul DeJoria- From Homeless to Billionaire
29 september 2026 · 44 min
You can't change yesterday's newspaper, so why are you still carrying it around? Lees meer
I have wanted to sit down with this man for so long. Imagine going from living in your car to building two multibillion dollar brands. It doesn't even sound real when you say it out loud. But that's not what I admire most about him. It's how he carries the success: with humility, generosity and kindness. So today I got out of the way and let him teach.
I've interviewed some of the top entrepreneurs on the planet, and I don't know that I've ever met a better communicator. This conversation is a masterclass, and I'm fired up for you to hear it.
John Paul DeJoria is the co-founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems and Patrón Spirits Company. He started Paul Mitchell with $700 and lived in his car to make it happen. Then he built Patrón into a brand selling millions of cases a year.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The Two Rules of Success: two rules to live by if you want to see more success in every area of your life.
You Can't Change Yesterday's Newspaper: Why he wouldn't change a single thing about the hard times, and how to move forward after hardship
Watch Your Words: Why saying "I'll try" keeps you trying forever, and how to break the pattern.
The Richest Man's Regret: What John Paul DeJoria said he would give up just to have been happy, and what that says about money.
Kindness Works, Even for Jerks: How humor and kindness disarms, and why you should never knock your competitor.
Whatever you're still carrying from yesterday, consider this your permission to put it down. I don't want you to just listen to this one. I want you to feel it, then go live it.

7 Reasons Why High Achievers Never Feel Satisfied | Ed Mylett
26 september 2026 · 1 uur 38 min
What if the success you’re chasing is actually keeping you from enjoying the life you’ve worked so hard to build? Lees meer
In this mashup, we’re going straight at something I think every ambitious person needs to hear: the danger of becoming addicted to achievement. I want you to win. I want you to build the business, make the money, transform your body, impact people, and chase every dream God put in your heart. But if your happiness is always waiting on the other side of the next goal, you can spend your entire life achieving and never actually feel fulfilled. The answer isn’t to stop chasing greatness. It’s learning how to fall in love with the PROCESS while you’re becoming great.
Fallon Taylor opens up about what happened after she finally became a world champion and discovered that catching the dream didn’t magically fix everything. Her answer became growth and contribution, continuing to evolve while using what she learned to serve other people. Inky Johnson takes that idea even deeper with one of the most powerful definitions of courage I’ve heard: committing to the process when nobody can guarantee you the outcome. After his injury, he learned to stop needing the reward to justify the work and instead let his character, integrity, and commitment determine how he showed up.
Matthew McConaughey breaks down the difference between happiness and JOY, and why constantly moving the finish line can rob you of both. He shares how some of the greatest results of his career came when he stopped obsessing over the result and became completely immersed in the work. Dean Graziosi reminds us that money and achievement without fulfillment aren’t enough, and that we need to work on ourselves just as hard as we work on our businesses and our bank accounts. Inky comes back with another lesson I love: be where your feet are. Take the pictures. Have the fun. Build the memories. Don’t become so good at accomplishing things that you forget to actually EXPERIENCE your own life.

John Maxwell and I went through them, and we answered the themes that kept coming up again and again.
My son Max brought your questions to the table, and what came out of the conversation is real, unscripted, and personal. Here are some of the questions you sent in:
What is the biggest problem with how people lead today?
What is the biggest thing you had to unlearn to level up your leadership?
How do you lead when nobody is listening?
How does a wife support her husband in becoming a better leader?
John has spent more than fifty years living what he teaches, and he has stood on a stage more than 14,000 times. He isn't polished about it. He tells you plainly about the seasons he led badly, and where he learned to look first when people stop listening.
I open up about the way I led in my twenties and the day I decided to talk less and ask more. I share the story of a ride home that changed how I see belief inside a marriage. I ask John a question I've never asked him, and his answer surprised even me.
The chemistry in this one is something you have to witness. We go back and forth like family around a kitchen table. Tune in to this powerful episode and then take the answer that hits you hardest and put it to work this week.

How to Turn Customers Into Raving Fans with Savannah Bananas Owner Jesse Cole
22 september 2026 · 54 min
Customers come and go. Fans will drive 40 hours just to be in the room with you. Lees meer
I've wanted Jesse Cole on this show for a long time, and this conversation went further than I hoped. More than 4 million people are on a waitlist for a ticket to one of his games. He's drawn crowds bigger than the Super Bowl. And he's done it by obsessing over the thing I believe matters most as AI moves into every business: how people feel when they deal with you.
This was not an overnight success. Jesse's pro baseball dream ended with a torn shoulder. He spent ten years running a team almost nobody came to see. Then he and his wife, Emily, bet everything on a college summer team in Savannah, and in the first three months, they sold two tickets. What happened next became the Banana Ball Championship League and one of the great American business stories.
I asked him the question every entrepreneur in a hard season needs answered: why didn't you quit? I share what it felt like when my own baseball dream ended. I push back on founders who build companies just to sell them, and I explain why most big exits aren't what they look like. And I challenge Jesse on what separates great entrepreneurs: they keep improving even when everything is already working.
We finish with what Jesse and Emily are building off the field, and it may be the most powerful part of the whole conversation.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
Fans vs. Customers: Why one is transactional and the other will defend you when you make a mistake.
The Friction Question: The one question that sparked Banana Ball, and how it applies to a realtor, a dry cleaner, or any business.
Attention Beats Marketing: Why Jesse hasn't spent a dollar on marketing since opening night, and what he does instead.
The Energy List: How Jesse found what fuels him, and why it changed the way he shows up as a leader and a dad.
Lessons from Walt Disney: Two principles Jesse built his company on, including the one that explains why h…

How to Master the Art of Persuasion & Scale Your Vision | Ed Mylett
19 september 2026 · 1 uur 38 min
If I could only keep one skill out of everything I've built, this is the one. Lees meer
I get asked all the time what skill matters most for an entrepreneur, and my answer never changes: the ability to persuade. Without it, most of what I have doesn't exist. And here's the hard truth I open this episode with. Most people are nowhere near as persuasive as they believe they are, and that belief is the very thing keeping them stuck.
So I brought together three of the most influential people I've ever sat across from. John Maxwell has trained leaders in every country on earth and sold more than 30 million books. Zoe Chance teaches one of the most popular courses at the Yale School of Management. Mauricio Umansky built The Agency into one of the biggest real estate brands on the planet, starting at the worst possible moment to start anything.I push each of them on the things most people never talk about.
I get honest with John about a part of leadership where I've always felt limited. I admit to Zoe the surprisingly small thing I'm still afraid to ask for. And I press Mo on what really happened before The Agency existed, a story I was surprised he was willing to tell.
I also lay out my own playbook: why energy moves people more than words, why you have to sell a dream big enough for everyone around you to fit inside, and a lesson my dad taught me as a kid that every closer needs to hear.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The Question That Changes Everything: The one question Zoe teaches that opens doors you didn't know existed, and what happened when I asked it of myself.
Your Sweet Spot: How John realized he was in the wrong role for years, and how to find where you win.
The Emotional Moment: How Mo reads a room before a deal, and the one mistake that destroys the connection.
Rejection as Training: Why you should be hearing no a lot more often, and how to make it hurt less.
Scaling Your Influence: How to transfer the skill of persuasion to your team so it grow…

John Maxwell's #14 Law of Leadership: The Law of Buy-In

📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. Lees meer
People don't buy into your vision until they buy into you first.
Every leader eventually asks the same question: why isn't my team buying into this? I've asked it myself. And the answer almost never has anything to do with the vision. It has everything to do with whether people have already bought into you as the person carrying it.
I bring up something John said to me earlier this year that has stuck with me, about how rare it actually is for anyone in a position of influence to stand up and own a mistake out loud. That conversation is one we don't have enough, and John and I go deep on why owning your failures builds more trust than pretending you don't have any.
John breaks down the 8-step process to get your team to buy-in, step by step, from the first crack people notice in a problem all the way to the moment buy-in becomes automatic and you don't have to ask for it anymore. He walks it back to his own story: stepping into a role after a legendary 27-year predecessor and spending nearly two years proving himself before anyone came looking for his counsel instead of comparing him to the guy before him.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:Sell Yourself First: Why the vision is always the second sale, never the first.
The 8-Step Buy-In Process: John's exact sequence for turning a skeptical team into one that believes your belief before you've finished the sentence.
The Line I Can't Forget: What John said to me that reframed why owning your mistakes builds more trust than covering them.
Two Years to Earn the Room: John's own story of following a beloved leader and what it actually took.
This Week's Rep: One decision that builds credibility before you ask anyone to follow you anywhere.
Buy-in isn't built in the big speech. It's built in the Tuesday nobody's watching, the mistake you own out loud, and the promise you keep when it would've been e…

Alex Hormozi on Fatherhood, Leadership & The Cost of Success
15 september 2026 · 1 uur 5 min
Alex Hormozi is back on the show, and I’m telling you right now, this may be my favorite conversation we’ve ever had together. I believe Alex is one of the best business minds in the world today, but what makes him different is his ability to take incredibly complex ideas and make them immediately actionable. We get into everything from productivity and AI to leadership, leverage, risk, and why some entrepreneurs explode through barriers while others stay trapped at the same level for years. Lees meer
One of the biggest ideas we unpack is something I believe every entrepreneur needs to hear: the risk that got you where you are may not be enough to get you where you want to go. Alex explains why so many entrepreneurs get trapped between $1 million and $3 million in revenue. You’ve finally made enough money to become comfortable, and now the very thing that helped you survive starts working against you. You become protective. You stop making the bets that got you there. But if you want another level, your capacity for risk has to expand alongside your capacity for opportunity.
We also go deep on effort, focus, and leverage. Alex challenges the obsession with complicated morning routines and explains why your best cognitive hours should be protected for your most important work. He breaks down his philosophy that "work is the goal," why winning against other people eventually becomes too low of a standard, and why some of the most successful people measure themselves against what they were truly capable of giving. And his take on AI absolutely stopped me. Too many entrepreneurs are using AI to do the wrong things faster instead of asking whether those things should be done at all. Sometimes the greatest leverage isn’t doing something more efficiently. It’s eliminating it completely.
But underneath all the business strategy is something even bigger. Alex talks about becoming a father, thinking differently about legacy, redefining what a great day actually looks like, and aski…

Why Your Environment Dictates Your Future Success | Ed Mylett
12 september 2026 · 1 uur 33 min
The people closest to you are quietly writing the next ten years of your life. Lees meer
When the water got shut off in my apartment, I did not just take inventory of myself. I took inventory of who was around me. What I found there redirected everything that came after it, and it is still the part of my story I talk about least.
So this weekend I pulled together the conversations that hit this from every angle, and I put my own version of it up front.Jeff Foxworthy, Master P, Jamie Kern Lima, Trent Shelton, Fallon Taylor, and Tom McCarthy each arrive at this from a completely different life: comedy, hip hop, beauty, the NFL, rodeo, and peak performance. Not one of them got where they are alone, and not one of them got there by accident.
Here is a piece of what we get into:
The question I ask about every person in my life, and why "they love me" is not the answer I am looking for
Why Jeff Foxworthy says the mistakes that blow up a life never begin as big mistakes
What Master P told his grandmother at seven years old, and the ten thousand dollars that showed up years later
The story about my first grade teacher that Jamie Kern Lima pulled out of me, and why it still gets me
Trent Shelton's soil test for your entire environment, and the palm tree that makes it impossible to unsee
What Fallon Taylor says the turning point in a life actually looks like when it happens
Tom McCarthy's poker table experiment in carrying an identity he had not earned yet
The three words I use with people I love who are not good for where I am going
Here is a piece of what we get into:I am not asking you to go clear people out of your life today. I am asking you to look around. Look at who you text when something good happens.
Look at who gets the last hour of your night. Then be honest about what that is producing in you, because you will get your standards and not your goals, and those people are the ones setting them.

John Maxwell's #13 Law of Leadership: The Law of the Picture
10 september 2026 · 14 min
📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. Lees meer
Forget what you told them this week. What did they watch you do?
Law thirteen is the Law of the Picture, and out of everything John and I have covered so far in this series, this might be the one that convicted me the most. Because it doesn't ask what you're saying in the Monday meeting or what you posted online. It asks a much harder question: what is your team actually watching you do when you think no one's paying attention.
John's spent over forty years studying this and has put these principles in front of leaders in nearly every country on earth, and this is the law he says confronts people the most. Simply put, people do what people see. Not what they're told. Not what they're taught in a seminar. What they see, day after day, from the person leading them.
I've made this mistake plenty of times, both as a father and as a leader in my business. I used to think I could fix everything I wasn't doing with a great speech on a Monday. I was wrong. Once I understood my team wasn't catching my words, they were catching my life, everything about how I lead changed.
Here's what you'll take from this episode:
The Gandhi story that redefines what it means to lead by example, and why it applies to every parent and every leader listening
Why "most things are caught, not taught," and what that actually means for the standard you're setting without realizing it
The real reason culture can't be announced from a stage, and what it takes to embody it instead
How this law connects back to law nine, the Law of Magnetism, and why the leaders you attract eventually become the leaders you reproduce
The identity shift that separates someone who acts like a leader from someone who actually is one, even when the cameras are off
This law shaped how I show up with my own kids just as much as it shaped how I lead in business, and I don't think there's a law in this seri…

The Man Who DID NOT Want to be Elected Feat. Dr. Ben Carson
8 september 2026 · 40 min
What does America look like from inside the Oval Office, and what do you learn about leadership when you've actually run for President of the United States? Lees meer
I don't normally talk politics on this show, but when I got the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Ben Carson, I couldn't pass it up. This isn't a political conversation. It's a rare opportunity to hear from someone who's run for President and had a front-row seat inside the most powerful office in the world.
Dr. Ben Carson has occupied seats very few human beings ever will. He went from growing up in poverty in Detroit to becoming one of the most accomplished neurosurgeons in the world, then stepped into an entirely different arena and ran for President of the United States. What surprised me in this conversation is that he told me he never really wanted to be President. He entered the race because he was deeply concerned about where he believed the country was heading and felt called to do whatever he could to make a difference. Along the way, he competed against Donald Trump, developed a friendship with him, and ultimately went on to serve as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Today, Dr. Carson gives us a rare look at what he saw from inside presidential politics and the highest levels of our government.
I wanted to know what happens when the cameras turn off. What is it actually like inside an administration? What surprised him about being that close to the Oval Office? Dr. Carson talks about the competing personalities and opinions inside government, the intense energy required at that level of leadership, and why disagreement behind closed doors can actually be healthy. We also have a fascinating conversation about President Trump, including what Dr. Carson told him while they were still competing for the Republican nomination, why he believed Trump was going to become President, and what he observed working alongside him once he was in office. Whatever your politics are, this is a perspective v…

How to Stop Wasting Years of Your Life With One Simple Word
5 september 2026 · 1 uur 34 min
You don't need more talent. You need one more rep than you think you have.
I get asked all the time what actually separates the people who win from everyone else, and this week I gave you my real answer: it's not talent, it's not connections, it's one more. One more call, one more set, one more minute. So instead of just teaching it, I pulled from the archives to show it in action, my conversations with David Meltzer and Jay Shetty, alongside some of my favorite solo teaching on this over the years.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode: Lees meerThe one word mantra: The single word I've repeated to myself for three decades, and why I believe it's the real separator between winners and everyone else.
The 24 hour myth: Why I stopped believing a day is 24 hours a long time ago, and the shift that gets me multiple days out of every single one.
David Meltzer on accessibility: What makes some of the most successful people I know also some of the most reachable, and what that has to do with how you value your own time.
Jay Shetty on evaluating progress: How often Jay actually checks in on himself, and why it's nowhere close to how often most people do.
The story I still think about with Kobe Bryant: What I saw the last time I was around him, and why it changed how I look at every day since.
Whatever rock is sitting between you and your dream right now, it's breaking down more than you realize. You just haven't seen the evidence yet. Stick around long enough and the candy comes out.

John Maxwell's #12 Law of Leadership: The Law of Empowerment
3 september 2026 · 20 min
📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. Lees meer
You either go up with the people you lead, or you go down with them. There is no version where you stay still.
Welcome back to our series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Law #12 is the Law of Empowerment, and John opens it with a line that stopped me: only secure leaders give power to others. This one hits close to home for me. If you know me at all, you know I like control. Letting go of it has been one of the hardest lessons of my leadership life.
In this episode, John shows you what happens when a leader pushes people down instead of lifting them up: you don't stay above them, you go down right along with them. Then he gets specific about why so many leaders never empower anyone in the first place. He breaks down five reasons, from insecurity to ego to the kind of bad experience that makes you swear you'll never pour into anyone again, and he doesn't let anyone off the hook, including himself.
I connect this straight to what I teach in the power of one more. I talk about how leaders convince themselves they're more valuable when everything depends on them, when the truth is the opposite: if everything depends on you, you don't have a business, you have a bottleneck with your name on it. I challenge you to stop asking how you can get something done fastest and start asking who can grow by doing it instead. That one shift in the question changes everything about how you lead.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The Demonstration: John's live, physical illustration of exactly what happens to a leader who pushes their people down instead of lifting them up.
The Five Reasons You Don't Empower: The breakdown of what's really stopping you from letting go, and at least one of them is going to sting.
The Power of One More: How a single moment of belief from a leader can turn someone into who they were always capable of becoming.…

How To Be A World Class Communicator Feat. Rory Vaden
1 september 2026 · 58 min
What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your talent, your intelligence, or your work ethic, but your inability to express what you already know? Lees meer
Rory Vaden is back for his third appearance on the show, and this conversation might be the most important one we've ever had together. Rory is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, a two-time World Championship of Public Speaking finalist, and the co-founder of Brand Builders Group. He's also someone who has personally helped me grow my own brand and career. We go deep on what I believe is one of the most underrated skills in life: your ability to communicate, present, tell stories, and move people emotionally. Because whether you're leading a company, closing a sale, raising your kids, building a relationship, or speaking to thousands of people, you're presenting every single day.
Rory breaks down why charisma isn't something you're simply born with. It's a skill you can develop. We get tactical about how changing your pace, volume, eye contact, pauses, and storytelling can literally change how another person feels when they're listening to you. And in a world increasingly dominated by AI, Rory makes a powerful point: your story and your experiences are becoming more valuable, not less. AI can help create information, but it cannot live your story for you. If you can learn to tell that story in a way that creates emotion and meaning for someone else, you become unforgettable.
We also get into personal branding, and Rory gives one of the best definitions I've ever heard: your personal brand is the digitization of your reputation. You already have a reputation, whether you're intentional about it or not. The question is whether that reputation is helping you create more income, impact, and opportunity. Rory explains why you don't need millions of followers to build an incredibly profitable brand. Instead of obsessing over reaching more people, serve a narrower audience in a deeper way. Be useful. Create…

Learn the One Filter That Exposes a Fake Friend Instantly
29 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 39 min
Every person in your life is telling you the truth about themselves right now, just not with their mouth. Lees meer
That is the filter I open this weekend mashup with, and it is why I brought together some of the sharpest minds I know on reading people, building real confidence and telling the difference between someone who loves you and someone who is just good at saying it.
Dr. Marisa Franco is breaking down the actual research on why some friendships take root and others fade. Brendon Burchard and I get into the two small promises I started keeping to myself and how the habit of keeping tiny commitments directly relates to whether you can trust a person or not. Then you hear the raw truth from a man who finished Navy SEAL training, Army Ranger School and Air Force tech school in one lifetime, David Goggins, describing the 19 hours that broke him down and rebuilt him at the same time. What he says about the people from his old life who still want to pull him back will stick with you.
Here's what you'll walk away with:
Filter test: the exact shift in how you watch people that tells you instantly who is real.
Friendship science: why the group you show up to again and again matters more than how the first meeting felt.
Confidence rebuild: the two tiny promises that pulled me out of my lowest point.
The cookie jar: how to reach for proof of your own toughness when your body wants to quit.
The lens flip: one question that will change how every person in your life experiences you.
I have spent the past few years listening less and watching more, and every relationship in my life is better for it.
Watch the people around you this week instead of just listening to them, and you will already understand more about your life than you did yesterday.

John Maxwell's #11 Law of Leadership: The Law of the Inner Circle

Your inner circle is either your greatest asset or your biggest liability. There's no neutral option.
Welcome back to our series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Law #11 is the Law of the Inner Circle, and John says it as plainly as I've ever heard it: a leader's potential is determined by those closest to him. This one is personal for me. Every real breakthrough in my life traces back to the people I let in close.
In this episode, John breaks down why the "self-made man" is a myth: if you made everything yourself, you haven't made much. He walks through what he calls the water bucket and the gasoline bucket, how the people around you either put out small fires or turn them into disasters, and why he's convinced there are only two kinds of people in this world: lifters and leaners. Then he hands you the exact grid he uses to evaluate everyone in his inner circle.
I share a story of my assistant Linda, and the night she took an assignment I gave her and made it better than I ever could have on my own. That's what this law is really about. It's not about doing more. It's about who you let close enough to make you more.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:The Self-Made Myth: Why claiming you built it all alone isn't something to be proud of, and what it actually reveals about your team.
Water Bucket or Gasoline Bucket: John's test for figuring out who calms the fire in your organization and who throws fuel on it.
Lifters and Leaners: The two types of people in every inner circle, and how to tell which one you're becoming for the people around you.
The Five-Value Grid: John's exact evaluation system for deciding who earns a seat closer to you: potential, positive, personal, production, and proven value.

Jon Gordon: Forgive Fast — The Habit That Changes Everything
25 augustus 2026 · 50 min
You forgive fast, or you burn slow. Lees meer
Jon Gordon might be setting the record for most appearances on this show at this point, and there's a reason for that. He's one of my closest friends, someone I call when I need real advice, and honestly one of only two people left where I still ask myself "what would John do" before I make a big decision, especially now that my dad is gone. When someone like that comes back on the show, you pay attention.
His new book, The Power of Positive Habits, might be the most tactical thing he's ever written. Ninety-three habits, pulled from nearly two decades of working with the best coaches and leaders in sports and business. Out of everything we covered, one story stopped me cold. Jon shared the moment he finally forgave his biological father, a man who wasn't there for his wedding, who abandoned him when he was a year old.
"Holding onto resentment", he told me, "is like gripping a hot coal meant for someone else. You're the one who ends up burned." He wishes he had forgiven faster. So do I, on my own stuff. That's why we're calling this one Forgive Fast.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
Forgive Fast: Why holding onto resentment, bitterness, or an old grudge is quietly costing you more than the person who wronged you.
The Thank You Walk: The daily gratitude practice that shifted Jon's mindset, saved his marriage, and became the source of nearly every book idea he's ever had.
Write Your Purpose Statement: Why putting your "why" on paper, not just carrying it in your head, is what keeps you from burning out when things get hard.
The Four Questions: What elite coaches like Sean McVay and Dave Roberts ask themselves every single day to keep improving instead of coasting on past success.
Tune Out Distractions: The sea turtle story Jon shares that will completely change how you think about chasing the wrong lights in your own life.
Jon said the sooner you forgive, the sooner you start growing again. Whatever you're still …

The Simple 3-Step System to Solve Almost Any Problem | Ed Mylett
22 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 35 min
Problems need energy to live. Stop feeding yours. Lees meer
You guys, I've gotten so many messages asking me to cover this, and I get it, because I still work on this myself. Today I'm handing you the exact system I use, the one I teach my athletes, my entertainers, and my politician clients, to eliminate most of the problems in your life before they ever get the chance to grow.
And I didn't want to just teach it. I wanted to show you it in action, so I pulled some of the most powerful moments from my archives: Tony Robbins on why fear is physical, a world champion barrel racer's comeback from a 2% chance to live, Dean Graziosi's hardest six months, and Amy Purdy's fight to walk again.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The 3 step formula: Make a decision, flood yourself with certainty, and take insane action. This alone will crush most of your problems.
The 90/10 rule: Why pouring your energy into the problem instead of the solution is the single biggest mistake most people make.
Fear is physical: Tony Robbins breaks down why your breathing, your posture, and your body are running your emotional state, and how to take it back.
The comeback formula: A world champion barrel racer's story of being told she'd never walk again, and what she did with that news.
The lock came off the box: Dean Graziosi's most vulnerable story yet, and the one decision that changed everything on the other side of it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: you're always going to have problems. That's not a flaw in your life, it's proof you're growing. So take this system, put it to work today, and watch how much lighter you feel. Max out.

Here's what you'll gain from this episode:Understand the Real Root of Resistance: Learn why most pushback from your people isn't really about direction, but disconnection, and what to do about it.
The Locomotive Principle: John's unforgettable story about trains, and why hitting people with your vision is not the same as connecting with them.
Know Yourself Before You Try to Know Anyone Else: Discover why leaders who haven't connected with themselves internally will never connect with anyone externally.

From Childhood Best Friends to Top of their Fields with Greg Genske
18 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 3 min
Before you have a business or a following, you have a friend. Mine grew up to negotiate six billion dollars in sports contracts. Lees meer
This episode is different for me. My guest was my best friend when we were ten years old, inseparable, running track together at six in the morning, trading baseball cards, growing up right alongside each other. Then life happened, and thirty five years went by without us being in the same room. After all that time, we finally sat down together, and today I brought him on the show.
Greg Genske went from that kid in my backyard to one of the top sports agents alive, building an agency with Gary Vaynerchuk, teaching negotiation at Berkeley Law, and representing thousands of professional athletes through the biggest deals of their careers.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:The Negotiation Secret Nobody Teaches: Greg breaks down the psychology of negotiation and why immaculate preparation on the other person's position beats any tactic.
The Tom Brady Story You've Never Heard: How a single deposition Greg took as a trial lawyer helped open the door for the greatest quarterback in history.
Position Yourself as the Expert: Why the people who separate themselves in any industry teach instead of sell.

How to STOP People Pleasing Yourself Right Out of Your Own Life
15 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 31 min
Your cup is empty, and you've been calling it love. Lees meer
I get a version of this question all the time: who's supposed to be the number one priority in your life? And this week I gave you an answer most of you don't want to hear. Because the version of people-pleasing nobody warns you about isn't the one where you're afraid to say no to a stranger.
It's the one where you've spent years putting everyone you love ahead of yourself, until there's nothing left in the cup to pour.
This one's built around some of the conversations that shaped how I think about this, with Tony Robbins, Jay Shetty, and Rob Dyrdek. Not soundbites. Real, lived-in wisdom from three guys who've actually done the work on themselves.Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The stake in the ground: Why you keep telling yourself you can't move, even when you could walk away in a second.
Tony's rock bottom story: What he did the night he had nothing left, and how it rewired the rest of his life.
The three date rule: A simple set of questions Jay Shetty says can reconnect you with someone you think you already know completely.
The million hour mindset: How Rob Dyrdek thinks about time that makes every single day feel different.
Your own worst enemy: Why the way you talk to yourself is training the universe how to treat you, and the one phrase that flips it.
Time is not unlimited, and neither is your patience with yourself. You have been the last person on your own list for too long. Fill your cup first. Not because it's selfish. Because it's the only way you have anything left to give the people you love.

John Maxwell's #9 Law of Leadership: The Law of Magentism
13 augustus 2026 · 19 min

If you're not happy with the people around you, the most important question you can ask is not "why do I keep attracting this?" It's "what about me is drawing it in?"
Law #9 of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the Law of Magnetism, and it is one of the most confronting laws in this entire series. The principle is simple: who you are is who you attract. Leaders don't attract who they want. They attract who they are. Your values, your energy, your standards, your character — all of it creates a magnet that pulls toward you the people who reflect it back.
John opens this episode with an exercise that will stop you cold. He asks you to write down the three qualities you most want in the people around you. And then he asks the only question that matters: do you actually possess those qualities yourself?
I connect this law to something I've written about in both Max Out Your Life and The Power of One More: your internal thermostat. Most people are running their teams, their businesses, and their lives at whatever temperature they believe they deserve. And when results start to exceed that setting, they subconsciously cool things back down. This law is about raising that thermostat because when you raise your own standard, the quality of people who stay in your world begins to change too.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The Mirror Exercise: John's opening exercise that forces you to look honestly at what you're actually bringing before you make another hire or point the finger at your team.
The Six Areas of Magnetism: The specific dimensions where like attracts like, and how to use each one to understand exactly what your leadership is currently pulling in.
Your Life Is Recruiting: Why your leadership is drawing something toward you right now whether you realize it or not, and the one question that changes everything.
The Iden…

John Morgan: Life is Luck
11 augustus 2026 · 49 min
He started with a paper route. Now he runs America's largest personal injury law firm, spends $600 million a year on advertising, and owns OJ Simpson's Bronco. John Morgan doesn't just understand luck. He's spent his entire life engineering it. Lees meer
John is the founder and chairman of Morgan & Morgan, the firm that has recovered more than $30 billion for its clients and built one of the most recognizable brands in the country. This interview is a masterclass in how the most successful people in the world create conditions for things to go right, and what most people get completely wrong about the role of chance in their success.
John brings one of the most unfiltered, fearless, and genuinely wise business minds I've ever sat across from. He breaks down the three types of luck and why two of them are entirely in your control.
He talks about moonshots and bullets, about what the stagecoach companies got wrong about the train, and about why the best stock market you'll ever invest in is the one you're building yourself. He also gives a jaw-dropping answer about whether all of this is worth it.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The Three Types of Luck: And why you'll never look at someone's "lucky break" the same way again.
Bullets Before Bombs: The framework John uses to decide when to go all in and when to stay patient, and why most businesses fail before they ever get there.
The Best Stock Market You'll Ever Invest In: This the most profound thing said in nearly 900 episodes. You'll understand why when you hear it.
You Can't Teach Hungry: The one trait that separates the people who make it from everyone else, and how to spot it in minutes.
The Stagecoach and the Train: An urgent warning for every business owner right now, and what to do about it.
I push John on things people are afraid to ask someone of his stature: whether entrepreneurs are born or made, how AI is actually hitting his businesses right now, and what he thinks about the hunger you eithe…

The Hard Truth: Why Your Hardest Days Create Your Greatest Success | Ed Mylett
8 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 32 min
What if the hardest season of your life is actually building the strongest version of you? Lees meer
In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together some of the most powerful conversations I’ve had about adversity, resilience, purpose, and what it really takes to keep going when life hurts. I believe one of the greatest separators in life is the ability to play hurt. Anybody can perform when they feel great, when the momentum is there, and when everything is going their way. The real test is what you do when you’re tired, disappointed, grieving, afraid, or unsure of yourself. Those are the moments that reveal who you are becoming.
Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins shares how adversity became one of his greatest teachers and how going inward forced him to confront the parts of himself that success alone could never fix. Eric Thomas breaks down the level of work, discipline, and self-evaluation required if you truly want extraordinary results, and why sometimes the answer isn’t simply working harder, but raising your systems, your standards, and your entire level of execution. James Lawrence gives one of the most powerful examples of the One More mindset when he explains why, after completing 100 brutal endurance challenges, he got back up and did 101. Not because he had anything left to prove, but because he wanted people to know that even when you feel completely broken, there is still one more inside you.
Dean Graziosi and I talk about changing your relationship with fear, pain, and hard things. The people who win at the highest levels don’t spend their lives searching for the easiest path. They train themselves to move toward the difficult things that other people avoid. Jim Kwik reminds us that attention is everything and that one of the fastest ways to grow is to learn with the intention of teaching, because when you teach something, you begin to own it at a completely different level. And Maria Shriver offers the other side of resilience that we don’t talk about enough. She reminds …

John Maxwell's #8 Law of Leadership: The Law of Intuition

📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. Lees meer
Most people are reacting to what everyone can already see. Great leaders have already moved on what most people haven't named yet.
Welcome back. Season 2 of our series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership starts here with Law #8: the Law of Intuition. John teaches it simply: leaders evaluate everything with a leadership bias. In other words, great leaders don't just see what's happening. They sense what it means, where it's going, and what needs to happen before anyone else has said it out loud.
This episode is going to teach you how learning to listen to your intuition is all you need to beat the fastest person on earth in a race. And it's exactly what will help you become a phenomenal leader.
I also dive deep into the power of stillness. Getting quiet gives you access to things you didn't even know you needed. Great leaders live beneath the surface. They develop the ability to sense sooner, think deeper, and respond wiser.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
The Leadership Jumpstart: Why intuition gives great leaders an unfair advantage before anyone else has even started moving.
Leaders Are Readers: The eight things great leaders read that most people walk right past, and why developing this skill is the most practical way to sharpen your intuition starting today.
You're Already Intuitive: You are already highly intuitive in one area of your life, you'll learn how to find it and lead from it.
Sense Sooner. Think Deeper. Respond Wiser: How to apply the Law of Intuition in real time, and five specific practices to start developing your discernment this week.
What to Do If This Isn't Your Strength: Maxwell's honest answer for leaders who struggle with intuition, and the two practical steps he gives to develop it even if it doesn't come naturally.
Season 2 is here and the laws only go deeper from here. If you haven't grabbed t…

How To Become A Millionaire Feat. David Bach
4 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
What If Becoming Financially Free Is Simpler Than You've Been Told? Lees meer
I have been waiting for this conversation for a long time because David Bach is one of the people who fundamentally changed the way I think about money. Years ago, I read The Automatic Millionaire, and I can honestly tell you that the principles in this conversation have had a direct impact on my own financial life. In a world where everyone is chasing the next hot investment, David brings us back to something much more powerful: timeless principles that actually work. If you've ever felt like financial freedom is out of reach, this episode will show you that wealth is built through systems, not luck.
David breaks down why there are now more millionaires than ever before and why the next decade could create even more wealth than we've ever seen. But he also explains why so many people are still falling behind. We dive into the simple concept of paying yourself first, why automation beats willpower every single time, and how even small daily decisions can turn into millions of dollars over time. We also talk about the hidden cost of subscriptions, lifestyle inflation, and why so many people are unknowingly working for everyone else before they ever pay themselves.
One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our discussion about financial freedom versus simply looking wealthy. David shares the story that completely changed his life, when he met an ordinary couple who retired in their early fifties with complete financial independence by following a simple system. We also tackle one of the biggest debates happening today around home ownership, debt, retirement investing, and why so many young people are being given advice that could cost them decades of wealth creation. If you've been wondering whether it's too late to start, David has an incredibly encouraging message that proves today is always the right day to begin.
This conversation is not about getting rich overnight. It is about buildi…

If You Feel Fear, Doubt & Anxiety Right Now… WATCH THIS | Ed Mylett
1 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 32 min
What if fear isn't the sign you're on the wrong path, but the proof you're finally on the right one? Lees meer
In this mashup episode, I want to challenge the way you think about fear, doubt, rejection, and uncertainty. Too many people believe those feelings mean it's time to quit, slow down, or play it safe. I believe the exact opposite. If you've decided to pursue an extraordinary life, you have chosen the road less traveled, and that road comes with obstacles most people will never understand. The question isn't whether fear will show up. The question is whether you'll keep moving anyway. Dean Graziosi and I dive into what it really takes to embrace bigger opportunities, trust yourself, and keep growing when everyone else would turn around.
I share why the journey to success is rarely glamorous. It's lonely. It's uncomfortable. It's filled with rejection, setbacks, and moments where you'll wonder if you're making the right decision. But those moments are not signs to quit. They are signs that you're becoming someone different. Dean and I talk about why thinking bigger changes everything, how chasing meaningful challenges transforms your confidence, and why the greatest opportunities often exist on the other side of uncertainty. The bigger the mission, the more you'll be stretched into becoming the person capable of achieving it.
One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our discussion about fulfillment. So many people spend their lives chasing success only to realize they still feel empty. Real fulfillment comes when you stop trying to become someone else and start expressing the person you were created to be. Whether it's serving others, sharing your gifts, building your business, or creating something meaningful, your greatest satisfaction will always come from living authentically and making an impact. That is where confidence grows and purpose becomes real.
I truly believe you were born to do something extraordinary with your life. The fear you feel today d…

Season 1 of the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership has been the most downloaded series in the history of this show. And the questions you have been sending in have been just as good as anything John and I have covered together.
This one is just me speaking directly to you.
You all submitted thousands of questions through the workbook, and I sat down to go through the ones that kept coming up over and over again like:
How to build real confidence when you don't feel qualified
How to walk into a broken culture without making it worse
What the most important law is in the age of AI
How to balance results with actually investing in your people
What I would go back and tell my 27-year-old self if I could
That last one is the one I want you to pay close attention to. Because I made mistakes as a young leader that cost me relationships, cost me trust, and cost me time I will never get back. I talk about them honestly in this episode because I think you learning from my mistakes means you might not have to make your own.
These are the questions I wish someone had sat down and answered for me when I was coming up. Nobody did. So I am doing it for you now. Go watch this episode. And when you are done, send it to somebody who needs it.
Season 2 starts next week. We are going into Laws 8 through 14 with John Maxwell and I promise you it goes even deeper than Season 1. If you thought the first seven laws were good, you have not seen anything yet. Make sure you are subscribed and make sure you have the workbook so you can follow along and submit your questions as we go.

Why I Gave My AI Access to Everything Feat. Peter Diamandis
28 juli 2026 · 1 uur 1 min
He named his AI, "Skippy". He gave it access to his iMessages, his emails, every conversation he has. And he says it's the smartest thing he's ever done. Lees meer
Every time Peter Diamandis comes on this show, downloads go through the roof. There's a reason for that. He doesn't just talk about the future. He's building it.
Peter brings something to this conversation that almost no one else on earth can: a front-row seat to where the world is actually going, backed by 28 companies, decades of relationships with Elon Musk, Larry Page, Eric Schmidt, and the architects of AI, and the kind of credibility that only comes from being right about the future over and over again.
In this conversation, Peter lays out his clearest vision yet of the next decade: ambient AI that knows your schedule before you do, a billion humanoid robots on the streets within ten years, the reversal of aging becoming a clinical reality, and the democratization of health care that will save more lives than any drug ever has.
He also doesn't soften the turbulence that comes first, a 2-to-8-year window of real social and economic disruption that most people are completely unprepared for. I push him on the things people are afraid to ask: whether privacy is actually already gone, whether a solopreneur with AI can become a billionaire, and what the difference is between passion and purpose.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
•The 6-Year Storm: Peter's honest prediction for the turbulence ahead, who gets hit hardest, and the one mindset shift that determines whether you come out the other side as a creator or a consumer.
•Aging Is About to Become Optional: What longevity escape velocity actually means and how AI could double the human lifespan within ten years.
•Passion vs. Purpose: The distinction between passion & purpose, and why getting this wrong is the most expensive mistake a person can make right now.
•Privacy Is Already Gone: Peter's most controversial take, why he named his own AI "S…

How to Build Unshakable Self Confidence From Scratch | Ed Mylett
25 juli 2026 · 1 uur 36 min
What if confidence isn't something you're born with, but something you build one promise at a time? Lees meer
In this mashup episode, I bring together four incredible conversations that completely changed the way I think about confidence, purpose, and creating a life you're proud of. The truth is, most people spend their lives waiting to feel confident before they take action. But confidence isn't something you discover. It's something you earn. It's built every time you keep a promise to yourself, trust your instincts when everyone else says you're wrong, and choose courage over comfort. If you've been battling self doubt or questioning whether you're capable of more, this episode is exactly what you need.
Brendon Burchard and I dive deep into what self confidence really is, and why it's not about external validation or achieving a certain result. We talk about building trust with yourself by keeping your commitments, creating momentum through small daily wins, and why your intentions matter just as much as your abilities. I also share the mindset shifts that have helped me overcome self doubt throughout my own life, because I've struggled with confidence just like so many of you.
Jamie Kern Lima reminds us what happens when you refuse to let rejection define your future. After hearing "no" for years, she stayed true to her vision, trusted her intuition, and ultimately built one of the most successful beauty brands in the world. Ryan Serhant shares how confidence isn't something reserved for a lucky few. It's an energy you choose to embody before anyone else believes in you. And Tom Papa offers one of the most refreshing perspectives you'll ever hear about purpose, fulfillment, and embracing the life you're meant to live instead of comparing yourself to everyone else. Each conversation reinforces the same powerful truth. Your confidence grows every time you choose to believe in yourself before the world gives you permission.

You asked. John answered. This is the Season 1 Q&A with John Maxwell.
After seven laws and seven weeks of building the foundation of great leadership, John Maxwell and I sat down to answer the questions YOU submitted. What came out of this conversation surprised even me. Some of the best moments between John and me have happened off camera over the years, and this one felt like we were able to bring some of that onto the show.
We received over 15,000 questions from all of you, and my team and I combed through every single one of them to find the ones that kept coming up over and over again. What we landed on covers the full range: family leadership, business leadership, leading through uncertainty, and questions that start setting the stage for what's coming in Season 2.
There is something that happens when John and I get in a room together that I genuinely can't manufacture. This man has poured into me for years in ways most of you have never seen, and in this episode some of that spills out in real time. John got emotional. I shared something personal that brought the whole series full circle. And there were moments in this conversation where I looked at him and thought: this is exactly why we do this.
Whether you have been with us since Law 1 or you are jumping in for the first time today, this is the one you do not want to miss.

Making It Without Losing Yourself Feat. Jess Ekstrom
21 juli 2026 · 1 uur
What would you ask if your uncle was Bernie Madoff? My guest actually sat across from him in prison and the conversation changed the course of her life forever. Lees meer
When I found out that today's guest, Jess Ekstrom, is Bernie Madoff's great niece, I knew we had to start there. Her family didn't just watch one of the biggest financial scandals in history unfold on television. They lived it. They lost nearly everything. Years later, Jess made the decision to visit Bernie Madoff in prison, searching for answers that most people would never have the courage to ask. What he confessed to her during that visit was shocking. He told her that his downfall didn't begin with money or investing. It began as a lonely child trying to buy friendship and approval. That conversation became the foundation for everything Jess teaches today about success, validation, and living a meaningful life.
But this episode is about so much more than Bernie Madoff. Jess went on to build an incredible business, sell it for millions, and accomplish goals most entrepreneurs spend a lifetime chasing. Yet after reaching everything she thought would finally make her happy, she realized something almost all high achievers eventually discover. Achievement alone cannot give you fulfillment. We unpack the dangerous "arrival trap" that keeps so many people believing happiness is always waiting on the other side of the next accomplishment.
We also dive into the stories we tell ourselves that quietly shape our entire lives. Jess shares how one childhood moment convinced her she wasn't good with numbers, even though she eventually built multiple successful companies. We talk about comparison versus inspiration, why your greatest limitations often begin with a single belief, and how changing your story can completely change your future. This conversation is filled with practical wisdom for anyone who wants to pursue big dreams without sacrificing joy along the way.
One of my favorite moments is when Jess share…

The 3-Step Mind Routine That Attracts Anything You Want | Ed Mylett
18 juli 2026 · 1 uur 31 min
What if the life you want isn't waiting for luck to find you, but for you to become the person who can attract it? Lees meer
In this mashup episode, I bring together some of my favorite conversations about one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal growth: attraction. I'm not talking about wishful thinking or hoping the universe magically hands you your dreams. I'm talking about becoming the kind of person whose mindset, habits, standards, and energy naturally pull the right opportunities, relationships, and success into your life. Ryan Pineda, Lewis Howes, Jay Shetty, Dan Martell, Tom Bilyeu, and I dive into what it really takes to create a life that reflects your highest potential instead of your biggest fears.
Ryan Pineda and I unpack why discomfort is often the greatest advantage you'll ever have. We discuss why success isn't about escaping hard work, but learning to love the process of becoming. Lewis Howes and I explore confidence, intention, and why the promises you keep to yourself ultimately shape the person you become. Jay Shetty reminds us that greatness isn't measured by how many people know your name. It's measured by how many lives you impact through service. Every one of these conversations reinforces the same truth. The person you become is far more important than the things you accumulate.
Dan Martell and I talk about becoming "the one" who changes the trajectory of your family and your future. We discuss how the mistakes you're most ashamed of may actually become the greatest qualification you have to help someone else. Tom Bilyeu and I break down why time is one of your greatest assets and how intentionally designing your days allows you to create extraordinary momentum. Throughout these conversations, I also share the three step mental routine that has transformed my own life by helping me focus on what I want instead of what I fear.

John Maxwell's #7 Law of Leadership: The Law of Respect
16 juli 2026 · 18 min
📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. Lees meer
People don't follow titles. They follow strength, clarity, conviction, and most of all, character. Respect is earned long before loyalty is ever given.
This is the Season One finale of our series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, and Law #7 is the Law of Respect: people naturally follow leaders stronger than themselves. That doesn't mean louder. It doesn't mean more dominant. It means people are drawn to leaders who carry substance.
John breaks down the six ways leaders earn genuine respect and gives two acid tests that will tell you immediately whether your people truly respect you or whether they're just showing up. His framework for understanding why you can only attract leaders as strong as you are is one of the most clarifying things I've heard in any leadership conversation.
I close this one with something I come back to constantly in my own life and in my book Max Out Your Life: real confidence doesn't need to announce itself. It carries itself. People can feel when a leader is secure versus when they're compensating.
And the question I want you to sit with this week is the one that closes the season: are you trying to get respect, or are you becoming respectable? There is a world of difference between those two things.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
Respect Is Not Requested. It Is Recognized: Why the leaders who chase respect consistently lose it, and what the ones who command it are actually doing differently.
The Six Ways to Earn Respect: John's complete framework for building the kind of respect that makes people choose to follow you, and the one most leaders overlook entirely.
You Attract Who You Are: Why the caliber of people around you right now is the most honest reflection of your leadership level, and what to do about it.
The Two Acid Tests: The only two questions you need to answer to know immedi…

How to Remake Yourself Feat. Ryan Kalish
14 juli 2026 · 55 min
He played in the big leagues, wore the Red Sox jersey, and had 14 surgeries trying to keep a dream alive. Then the career ended. And in the silence that followed, Ryan Kalish almost didn't make it through. Lees meer
Ryan is not the kind of guest I typically have on this show. He doesn't have a bestselling book or a company that just crossed a hundred million. What he has is a story that stopped me cold on Instagram months ago. I was scrolling and I saw this guy on a street somewhere in the world, walking up to a man who was homeless, and he bathed him and gave him a haircut and got him some food. I thought: who is that? I looked him up. And I thought, "I have to have him on.
"Ryan brings something to this conversation that is rare: the honesty of a man who was at rock bottom and didn't dress it up. He talks about the dark thoughts after his career ended, the substances he used to self-soothe, the spiritual calling that kept finding him even when he ran from it, and the moment sitting by a river in Austin, Texas, where it all clicked.
He has now served orphans, refugees, and vulnerable people across Indonesia, Thailand, Uganda, India, Jordan, Tanzania, Egypt, and more, largely on his own dime. His 70-year-old father is his cameraman.
I ask Ryan questions I think most people are afraid to ask: what does it actually feel like to do this? Is it lonely? Is it worth it? What did you have to let go of to get here? And I push Ryan on whether the hit he gets from feeding someone who's starving compares to circling the bases after a home run. His answer stops the conversation.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
What to do When You're Feeling Helpless: The reframe that unlocks everything for anyone sitting in a hard season wondering what to do next.
Your Old Identity Has to Die: What Ryan had to pluck out of himself to make room for who he was becoming, and why the most painful part of reinvention is also the most necessary.

8 Hidden Signs Your Ego is Slowly Ruining Your Life | Ed Mylett
11 juli 2026 · 1 uur 31 min
What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances, but the masks you've been wearing? Lees meer
In this mashup episode, I bring together four extraordinary conversations that all point to one life changing truth. You cannot experience real peace, fulfillment, or freedom until you stop trying to become someone else and start embracing who you truly are. So many of us spend our lives chasing success, approval, achievement, or perfection because we believe those things will finally make us feel worthy. But the truth is, no amount of money, recognition, or accomplishment can heal what we refuse to face inside ourselves. This episode is about dropping the ego, letting go of shame, and finally living from a place of authenticity.
Tom Papa and I have an honest conversation about the difference between confidence and ego, and why humility is actually one of the greatest strengths a person can develop. Lewis Howes shares one of the most vulnerable stories ever told on this show, revealing how years of hiding pain behind achievement kept him from experiencing true freedom. His courage reminds us that our greatest breakthroughs often begin the moment we stop pretending we have it all together. These conversations are powerful reminders that vulnerability is not weakness. It is where real strength begins.
You'll also hear an incredible conversation with Dr. G as we explore how shame becomes trapped in the body and silently shapes the way we think, react, and experience life. She explains why healing isn't about becoming someone new, but about reconnecting with who you've always been underneath the fear, the pain, and the conditioning. Then LeAnn Rimes opens up about navigating criticism, anxiety, and the pressure of living under the world's expectations while learning to define herself from the inside out instead of through other people's opinions. Her honesty is something every one of us can relate to, no matter where we are in life.

John Maxwell's #6 Law of Leadership: The Law of Solid Ground

📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. Lees meer
If people don't trust you, they may listen for a season. But they will never fully follow who you are.
Law #6 of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the Law of Solid Ground, and the principle is this: trust is the foundation of leadership. Everything else stands on it. Without it, every decision gets questioned, every motive gets doubted, and every relationship becomes fragile.
In this episode, John teaches this law with one of the most memorable frameworks in the entire series — a simple illustration that will change how you think about every decision you make as a leader and every interaction you have with the people around you. He also shares the story of a Wall Street Journal interview that stopped a reporter cold, and the answer he gave is one I think about constantly.
I open this episode with something that connects directly to John's teaching: why the promises you make to yourself are the foundation of everything else, and why the person you are in private is ultimately the leader people experience in public.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
Change in Your Pocket: John's framework for understanding exactly how trust is built and lost, and the question every leader needs to ask themselves before their next meeting.
