You’re about to dive into the minds of legendary athletes, entrepreneurs, and influencers, all revealing the strategies they use to dominate in high-pressure situations and overcome relentless challenges. We kick off with a powerful conversation on mental toughness from boxing champion Andre Ward, who shares how he harnesses fear and channels it into fuel. "Fear is real," he admits, "but courage steps in anyway." We also hear from wrestler Mark "The Undertaker" Calaway, who lived his life in the ring as a relentless character, pushing the limits to not only win matches but leave an unforgettable legacy. These champions don’t just prepare physically—they build a mental fortress that lets them stay steady under pressure, even when the world is watching. Throughout, Tim Grover, the trainer behind icons like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, breaks down how a relentless commitment to winning means being brutally honest with yourself. He says, "Winning doesn’t care about your feelings; it cares about how bad you want it.” Grover’s insights into pushing past fear and failure give you a glimpse into the “winning mindset”—the mental resilience that keeps these athletes at the top of their game. We round out the episode with Trent Shelton and Ed discussing how to turn pain into purpose. Shelton’s story of overcoming personal tragedy is a reminder that your greatest trials can become your most powerful victories. He says, “Your perspective can be your prison or your power,” reminding us that every setback has the potential to set us up for a massive comeback.

Together, we confront the gap between appearances and actual financial security, touching on the lifestyle traps that can lead high-earners to economic stress, while those who live strategically build lasting wealth.

Scott warns us that AI itself isn’t the enemy, but ignoring its potential impact on every job market could be. For anyone worried about the future, his advice is simple but profound—learn the tools of the new economy so you're always ahead of the curve. Finally, we take a hard look at some tough societal issues, from the challenges facing young men today to the influence of social media on youth mental health.

Romanticize Your Future: The Key to Unlocking Your Best Self Imagine if you could fall in love with your future. Not just daydream about it, but truly romanticize it in the same way you might cherish a loved one. When you care deeply about something, you protect it, nurture it, and give it the attention it deserves. Today, I'm challenging you to approach your future this way—to fall in love with the life you want to create. When you do, the way you show up in the world changes. You start seeing opportunities that were always there, but now they stand out, clear as day. The difference between winning and losing, success and failure, often comes down to a few pivotal moments. These moments define us, and being ready for them is critical. Life’s big breaks don’t come with a warning—they arrive when you least expect them. That’s why preparation is everything. You can’t rely on luck. Instead, you need to be consistently ready for those moments that could change your life. In this episode, I dive into how our thoughts shape our reality and how holding onto positive thoughts for just 15 seconds can shift your energy and set you up for success. I’ll walk you through the concept of "thought stacking," where focusing on a thought for over a minute begins to reprogram your brain to notice opportunities that align with your goals. This isn’t just about thinking happy thoughts—it’s about creating a vibrational frequency that attracts the right people, opportunities, and circumstances into your life. I’m sharing strategies to interrupt negative patterns before they take root and how you can train your mind to stay focused on what you truly want, not what you fear. What if I told you that romanticizing your future could be the key to unlocking a life you can’t wait to live? When you care for your future like you care for someone you love, you’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen. You’ll start seeing the world differently, and that’s when life really starts to transform. So today, we’re not just talking about setting goals or improving your mindset. We’re talking about creating a future so compelling that you can’t help but fall in love with it—and in the process, becoming the best version of yourself. Key Takeaways: The difference between success and failure often comes down to a handful of moments. Holding a thought for over 15 seconds can shift your vibrational frequency, attracting what you desire. Thought stacking can help you reprogram your mind to focus on positive outcomes. Romanticizing your future helps you care for it in a way that makes success inevitable. Interrupting negative thought patterns before they take root is essential to maintaining focus and control. So here’s my challenge to you: Start romanticizing your future. Fall in love with the life you’re building, treat it with the same care you’d give to something or someone you deeply cherish. Remember, you were born to do something great, and someone out there needs the best version of you. Let’s make sure you’re ready for that moment when it comes.

Today, I’m sitting down with Drew Davis, a young entrepreneur who took a high school project and transformed it into an extraordinary business success. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy and told his idea for Crippling Hot Sauce was “unrealistic,” Drew didn’t just overcome obstacles—he obliterated them. At 19, he’s sold over 250,000 bottles, built a thriving business from scratch, and is donating part of his profits to cerebral palsy research. This isn’t just about business; it’s about resilience, grit, and the power of believing in yourself when no one else does.

In this conversation, we unpack the strategies Drew used to scale his company, from branding to leveraging organic and paid social media. His insight into building a brand with heart—donating 5% of profits to cerebral palsy research—shows how a powerful mission can elevate a business. Drew is proof that no matter your age or your challenges, you can achieve greatness when you’re willing to put in the work and believe in your vision. Drew’s humility and humor shine throughout the episode. He talks about how his parents always treated him like anyone else and how this mindset helped shape his confidence. He also explains how he uses humor as a tool to handle adversity and stay grounded. His journey is a masterclass in not letting circumstances define you but using them as fuel to rise above and inspire others. Key Takeaways: How Drew turned a school project into a quarter-million-dollar business. The importance of branding and storytelling in creating a memorable product. Why giving back can be a strategic move for building a brand. How to use failure as a stepping stone for growth. The value of resilience and believing in your vision, no matter the odds.

What if I told you the key to changing your life is changing the meaning you attach to it? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most critical skills you can master to truly transform your life—attaching meaning to the events that happen to you. It’s not what happens that defines us, it’s how we frame it. The meaning you attach to the successes, failures, and everything in between, shapes your entire reality. This isn’t just a mindset shift; it’s how you reclaim control over your life. Think about the events in your life—trauma, missed opportunities, or even victories. What meaning have you attached to them? Have those meanings served you, or have they held you back? It’s time to take back the narrative. In today’s episode, I share personal stories, including how my dad reframed my losses in sports and taught me how to look for the good even in failure. That practice of finding the right meaning has been the key to much of my success. I’m also challenging you to reflect on how you’re framing meaning for others—your kids, your team, or even your spouse. Are you planting seeds of belief, or are you unintentionally teaching them to settle? Leaders and parents, the invisible ways you frame the world for others can have lifelong effects. It’s time to take this seriously. In moments of pressure, like making a crucial business decision or performing under stress, the meaning you attach to that moment determines how you perform. Attach the right meaning, and you reduce pressure. Attach the wrong one, and the weight can crush you. I coach top athletes and high performers on this, and today I’m giving you the same strategies. If you only take one thing from this episode, let it be this: Your obsessions become your possessions. What you focus on and how you frame it will determine what you manifest in your life. If you want better results, it’s time to start attaching better meanings. Key takeaways: How to reframe failure and setbacks into valuable lessons The importance of framing meaning for the people you lead How to reduce pressure by attaching the right meaning to high-stakes moments Questions to ask yourself to reframe events so they serve you Why your worldview and self-belief dictate what the world gives you This episode is about taking control of the stories you tell yourself and others. By mastering how you attach meaning to life’s events, you’ll unlock the power to shape your future, reduce stress, and lead with intention, whether in your business, family, or personal growth.

Are hidden traumas silently controlling your life and health? This might be one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had on the show—Dr. Paul Conti, a world-class expert on trauma, joins me to reveal how the emotional wounds you’re carrying might be holding you back more than you realize. I share some of my own personal experiences growing up with an alcoholic father and how those unresolved traumas affected me in ways I didn’t fully understand until much later. Dr. Conti breaks down the science behind how trauma changes our brains and how two people can experience the same event but walk away impacted in completely different ways. We get into the concept of chronic trauma—those emotional injuries that linger for years—and why feelings of guilt and shame are often at the heart of so many struggles. Dr. Conti introduces the idea of using "compassionate curiosity" to better understand ourselves and our behaviors. And trust me, this is something that can completely shift how you see your life. We also talk about how trauma doesn’t just stay in your head—it can literally show up in your body, leading to serious health problems down the road. What really hit home for me is how generational trauma can be passed down, affecting everything from our mental well-being to how we show up in the world. I get real about how my own drive to speak in front of millions comes from a deeper need to be heard—something that started in my childhood. Dr. Conti and I both agree that while medication can play a role in healing, real growth comes from doing the hard work of understanding the root causes of emotional pain.
