Do you ever struggle with consistency when it comes to your Miracle Morning routine? Even though you know you’ll feel better if you do it, motivating yourself to do it consistently can be challenging. 

Whether you’ve fallen off your morning routine recently or you’re looking for ways to uplevel your Miracle Mornings, this episode has something for everyone.

Today, I’m sharing how you can approach your Miracle Morning in a way that will enable you to achieve your most important goals using the strategy I’ve used for years. This approach helped me run an ultramarathon, beat cancer, double my income during the 2008 recession, and gave me the confidence to face every challenge head-on. 

This approach works great for boosting mental health and productivity or being more mindful. But it’s even more powerful when you focus on one main goal at a time. Whether you’re trying to improve your finances, relationships, marriage, or mental health - this approach will get you closer to your dreams. Before long you’ll start feeling a dramatic shift in your mindset and energy long before you hit those milestones. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can train your mind to focus on the positives, even when it feels like the world’s falling apart
• The mindset shifts that will turn calm and inner peace as your daily default
• Affirmations are your personal growth superpower
• If it’s not on your schedule, it’s not real. You commit to your goals by making time for them
• Attack the scariest, most daunting tasks first, then everything else will feel like a breeze

Do you ever talk with God (or whatever you call that voice of wisdom that seems to know better than you do)? 

In other words, rather than praying or meditating and hoping something magical happens, do you ever pray or meditate to set an intention and then quiet your mind to receive valuable clarity, wisdom, and guidance specific to your needs?

I usually do this first thing in the morning (during my SAVERS) and right before bed, and when I do, I consistently receive what I refer to as “downloads.”  I call them downloads because they enter my consciousness so fast that I find myself writing as quickly as possible without any conscious thought. I’m not thinking; I’m just taking dictation. 

In today’s episode, I’ll share how you can use periods of purposeful Silence to receive wisdom and create extraordinary breakthroughs without needing to follow a specific spiritual path. Whether you’re religious, atheist, agnostic, or simply someone searching for answers, this process can be transformative for you. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is a universal intelligence that we can all tap into
• Letting go of control makes room for the extraordinary
• We crave certainty, but the universe is beyond our understanding 
• Hold your beliefs confidently, but stay open to other possibilities
• Three book recommendations to help you deepen this ability

Most of us go through life feeling like we’re falling short. Whether it’s at work, our relationships, or even just how we see ourselves, the pressure to be perfect can be overwhelming at times. But I’ll let you in on a little secret: you’re already enough, just as you are. Not flawless, but whole, worthy, and capable of growth.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into what it means to be perfect as you are. You’ll learn how to handle setbacks without feeling like a failure, use those moments as a chance to grow, and recognize areas where you can improve without letting that take away from your self-worth. 

Most importantly, you’ll see how embracing your imperfections can lead to a deeper sense of self-acceptance. You’ll learn practical ways to shift your mindset so that you can appreciate who you are now, even as you continue to grow. By doing that, you’ll be able to show up for others with more compassion and authenticity, helping them feel the same sense of worthiness you’re learning to embrace.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You’re already worthy, just as you are
• What you see as a flaw could be exactly what someone else loves about you
• The difference between being a perfectionist and a high achiever
• Life’s best lessons can come from anyone, anywhere, at any time
• Even when it hurts, reality is always unfolding just as it should
• Most of your emotional pain comes from resisting

At this point, you've undoubtedly heard about AI and what the future might look like. There's a lot of talk about it; some of it is meant to scare us and make us believe AI will replace our jobs or disrupt our businesses. But it's not all bad news, and that's why I wanted to record this episode.

Today, I'm joined by Geoff Woods, founder of AI Leadership and author of The AI-Driven Leader. Geoff's here to remind us there's no need to be afraid and explain how we can use AI to transform how we work, communicate, and grow our businesses. And he has the stories to prove it. 

He once helped a CEO save his company in under ten minutes by showing him how to fully harness AI's potential. That's just one of the things you'll learn today. You'll also get insider tricks, tips, and prompts Geoff uses with AI tools, plus the mindset shifts you can make to free yourself from those tedious tasks and focus on the big-picture goals that drive real growth in your business, workplace, or everyday life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In a world full of AI, it’s still the moments with the people we care about that matter most
• The future’s about doubling down on what makes us human - thinking strategically, solving problems, communicating well, and working together
• Thinking smart is what’s going to keep your business growing, even with AI in the picture
• Great communication is the glue in every relationship
• If you stay curious and flexible, AI will open up tons of exciting new opportunities

We’ve all had times when life feels overwhelming and nothing is going right. But here’s something I want you to remember: you’re not powerless in those situations. In fact, taking back control is easier than you might think, and it starts with a few small, yet powerful changes.

In today’s episode, I’m excited to show you just how simple it can be to bounce back from whatever life throws at you. I’m going to walk you through the exact routine I use when it feels like things are falling apart. And the best part is, you can use these steps to improve your finances, relationships, or even your mental and physical health.

By the end, you’ll not only feel calmer and more in charge, but you’ll also learn how to inspire those around you to do the same. So, you can be a shining example of resilience and leadership that others look up to and follow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You're not actually out of control; you just feel that way
• Focusing on what’s out of your control only makes you feel more powerless
• You can’t control what you don’t prioritize
• How you live your life gives other people permission to do the same unconsciously
• Leadership opportunities are all around us, every day

Consider that the fastest way to improve any aspect of your life is to find someone who has already succeeded in that area and then model that person. 

With that in mind, which area(s) of your life do you want to improve, and whom are you modeling to accelerate your improvement?

That’s what today’s episode is all about. You’ll learn why figuring out everything on your own is a long and unnecessary road to success. I’ll break down how you can draw from the experiences of others and skip the trial-and-error phase as a shortcut to self-improvement. 

I’ll also explain why I’ve been studying and modeling Jesus Christ (in a non-religious way) to hold myself to a higher moral standard. Even if you don’t consider yourself religious or spiritual, I hope you’ll stick with me as I continue sharing my journey of learning from others to help us all become better leaders, spread love, and stand for unity in an ever-increasing world of divisiveness. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How attending my longtime friend’s funeral inspired me to model his spirit
• Why following in someone’s footsteps is the quickest path to success
• Questions to consider whom you’re modeling right now
• Why books are like having mentors on demand
• You can plan all you want, but if you’re not putting it into practice and living what you learn, it’s just potential that’s going nowhere.

Religion can be a very polarizing and even taboo topic. That’s why most people shy away from it at work, dinner parties, and family gatherings. But today, I want to challenge the notion that our differences define us and approach this sensitive topic from the perspective of unity. Regardless of whether you believe in a God or a divine force or are undecided about the existence of something greater, I believe the core thread that unites us all is a shared spirit that transcends those labels.

In this episode, I’m sharing my journey with faith and spirituality and reflecting on the experiences that have shaped my understanding. It’s easy to conflate being religious with being spiritual, but there’s an important distinction there, and understanding it can open up a whole new perspective on what it means to seek something bigger than yourself.

I’ll also explore the common values across various religious practices as they can be powerful tools for living a meaningful life, regardless of where you stand on the spiritual spectrum. My hope is to leave you with a fresh way of seeing the world, one that inspires hope and focuses less on the lines that separate us and more on the similarities that bring us together and help us build more empathy, connection, and respect in our everyday interactions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The difference between religion and spirituality
• Why Jesus is considered one of the most influential leaders of all time
• Finding unity begins with recognizing shared values and goals
• Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness, no matter what they believe
• Human connection is more than just physical presence
• Discovering the universal spirit that unites all religions

A few days ago, I received the devastating news that one of my dearest and closest friends, John Ruhin, author of Gift-ology, had passed away at only 45 years old. John has been a very close friend for over 20 years, a father to 4 young girls (4-13), and a devoted husband. 

If you’ve ever lost someone dear to you, you know how profoundly shattering that moment is. But amidst the heartache, there’s an undeniable truth: while we cannot change the reality of loss, but we can (and must) choose how we respond to it. 

So, for today’s episode, I want to honor my friend and share 3 steps for coping with both your mortality and the inevitable loss of those you love. (In full transparency, I recorded this the day after I found out about John’s passing, so it was still very raw.)

Accepting the reality and inevitability of death—our own and our loved ones—can be one of the hardest but most necessary steps in this process. It’s a truth we often avoid, but facing it head-on allows us to find peace and help others do the same. 

Then, we can live in a way that reflects their values, like the generosity John embodied, and we not only honor their memory but also enrich our own lives and the lives of those around us.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Death is as natural as birth
• There’s no value in wishing the inevitable were different
• The inevitability of death is certain, but the way we live our lives is our choice
• The suffering we experience often comes from our resistance to accepting reality
• Your beliefs and worldview deeply influence the quality of your life
• The legacy you leave behind and the care you show to your loved ones are enduring acts of love
• It’s better to feel than to suppress painful emotions

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by having too many goals but not enough time to achieve them all? Been there, done that - taking on too much at once and failing to make meaningful progress in the areas of my life that matter most.

And that is the reason why I’m sharing my three-step formula for achieving your goals. This process helped me become one of the top salespeople at Cutco, 10x my coaching business, sell millions of books, and take care of my body during cancer recovery. It’s a formula I still use to this day. 

I’ll also help you to identify your #1 most important goal and develop an action plan and daily routines to make it easier to achieve. Once you complete that goal, you’ll see how easy it is to apply this method to all your other goals. This way, the entire goal-achievement journey becomes less of a grind and actually becomes something you, and everyone around you, can enjoy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why we often avoid what we need the most
• Clarity is the foundation of any transformation
• Your level of success will rarely exceed the level of your personal development
• Knowledge is useless without action
• What you focus on expands the possibilities you encounter

Which aspects of your life do you most want/need to improve? Take a moment to think honestly about your answer... 

Whatever area of your life you’d like to improve, I’ve found few philosophies more accurate and effective than Jim Rohn’s: “Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development.” In other words, it’s who we become that determines our ability to create the life we want.

And I’ve found this to be true in virtually every area of my life—finances, health, parenting, marriage, spirituality, mental and emotional well-being—you name it. That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce today’s guest, René Rodriguez. 

René is not only an expert in personal development and author of the WSJ best-seller Amplify Your Influence, but he is also one of the wisest and most effective communicators that I know. He has shared the stage with Tony Robbins, Ed Mylett, Gary Vaynerchuk, and many more. 

In today’s conversation, we discuss how to take your personal development to the next level so that you can take your success—in every area of your life—to the next level and beyond.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why the answers to life are found in often overlooked cliches
• Why your ability to influence yourself and others is crucial to success
• The voice you use on your kids becomes their inner voice as adults
• Reinforce the behaviors that lead to the goal, not the goal itself
• True leaders are defined by the influence that remains even in their absence  
• The potential impact of AI on the future of personal development

How much simpler would life be if we could just speak our biggest hopes and dreams into existence? Obviously, life isn’t that simple. You’ve heard me talk about affirmations over the years, but today, we’re talking about the difference between affirmations and afformations, and the difference is more than a vowel.

Dr. Noah St. John is an author and international keynote speaker. He is also known as a breakthrough coach and the “Father of Afformations.” He’s helped over 2 million people worldwide, and his clients have added over $3 billion in sales by following his legendary methods. Today, he talks about why affirmations often fall flat and guides us through his innovative “Afformations” to help us create lasting change, whether in love, fitness, health, or business. 

We also discuss how focusing on external achievements often blocks people, especially entrepreneurs, from reaching higher levels of personal development and wealth. He shares practical steps to help anyone master their “inner game” to overcome self-doubt, attract abundance, and achieve all their wildest ambitions. 

P.S. You can receive Noah's latest book for free by visiting: 7FigureExpertBook.  (Just cover S&H costs)

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Our biggest breakthroughs often come in moments of silence
• The smarter alternative to affirmations 
• Master your inner game to win the outer game
• You have the power to create breakthroughs - your gurus won’t do it for you 
• The right questions lead to the right answers
• A life dedicated to serving others often paves the way to building wealth

Procrastination. We’re all human, and we’re all guilty of doing it sometimes—myself included. There’s no shame in admitting it. And beating ourselves up about it is a waste of energy. The solution to overcoming it is to understand why we’re doing it in the first place. 

So today, I’m digging deep to get to the root causes of why we procrastinate and how to overcome it. I’m sharing four (4) simple steps that have consistently helped me overcome the hesitation to act, regardless of how I feel. 

Once you start including these steps in your daily routines, I promise you that taking action will begin to feel more natural. Most importantly, challenges will no longer appear as insurmountable obstacles but as opportunities to step fearlessly toward your dreams and accomplish your greatest aspirations.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Our biggest failures often teach us the greatest lessons

• Once you get moving, it’s easier to get going

I have a confession: in the last few years, I gave up on my dreams. 

Or more accurately, I stopped dreaming altogether. Somewhere in the midst of the chaos than began in 2020, the future started to feel more uncertain than ever. Maybe you can relate? 

Of course, these last few years haven't given us much more certainty. 

However, life has always been unpredictable. While we can’t know what tomorrow holds, having dreams and goals gives us a reason to get out of bed every morning. 

Here’s my promise: despite life’s uncertainties, you can take control and build momentum toward your dreams. And in today's show, I'm giving you three (3) simple steps you can take immediately following this episode to create the energy and motivation to achieve your goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Our future is shaped by our actions
• Fulfillment comes from how you live, not what you accomplish    
• Commit to take one small step and motivation will follow
• How persistent effort to achieve your dreams opens the door to boundless personal growth
• Why commitment and accountability are key to personal development 
• The attempt to achieve a dream is often more significant than the outcome itself

Do you ever feel like life has gotten too complicated and find yourself longing for simpler times? I know that I do. 

However, wishing and wanting that reality were different doesn’t change anything; it just makes us feel helpless. We must find our inner strength to face life and its challenges head-on so that we can enjoy the life we have while we create the life we want. 

In today’s podcast episode, I'm sharing the 8 steps from my first book, Taking Life Head On: How to Love the Life You Have While You Create the Life of Your Dreams. You'll learn the steps I applied each day that got me through some of the roughest patches in my life and enabled me to create the life of my dreams so that you can do the same. 

 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Effort + commitment = extraordinary achievements
• To create the life of your dreams, you must love the life you have
• Everyone’s a work in progress, including you - and that’s perfectly fine
• People usually get what they expect, not what they wish for
• Life is only as good or bad as you think it is
• The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step
• Action precedes motivation, not the other way around
• Do the right thing, not the easy thing

Chances are, many of you either know someone who’s fighting cancer, or perhaps you’re even facing this battle yourself right now. When I was diagnosed with terminal cancer back in 2016, the path forward was unclear. Traditional medicine and well-meaning doctors pointed me down the usual path, but something inside me said, “No, there’s got to be another way.” 

Today, I’m sharing how I found another way and beat cancer. I want to make one thing clear, a cancer diagnosis is not the end. When I was first diagnosed, I decided right then I wouldn’t be among the 80% who don’t make it. I was committed to beating this thing. You’ll learn why maintaining a positive attitude makes a huge difference, not only for you but also for your loved ones. 

Instead of blindly following the doctor’s orders, I took control of my healing journey and defeated cancer. That’s my wish for you - that you will overcome this challenge and go on to live a long, joyous life surrounded by the people you love.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A diagnosis is a starting point, not a verdict
• Resistance blocks progress, acceptance opens new paths
• There’s always something to be grateful for, even in your most difficult days
• The foods that slowly kill you, and the ones that revitalize you
• The two key decisions that turn the impossible into achievable
• How I combined Western Medicine with holistic approaches
• My strategy for finding the most effective supplements

Today’s episode will empower you to take control of your life and guide you (in real-time) through a powerful Nero-Somatic Mindfulness (NSM) meditation led by a truly remarkable human being, Fleet Maull, PhD. 

At age 74, Fleet is living his best life – mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Fleet is an author, meditation teacher, entrepreneur, and the founder of the Heart Mind Institute, where he helps people maximize their potential. Today, you'll learn the strategies Fleet's refined over the last 30 years to maintain peak state and help countless people escape victim mentality. 

Fleet introduces his "Radical Responsibility Question," a simple yet profound tool to pause in stressful moments, sidestep blame, and see things with clarity and compassion. This approach will open you up to a choice between joy and suffering and put you in the driver's seat to take control of your life. 

Fleet also guides us through a practical mindfulness meditation at the end of our conversation so you can start applying what you've learned right away.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Taking responsibility puts you in the driver’s seat of your life
• The key question of radical responsibility is, “What can I do right now?”
• Understanding the difference between blame and responsibility 
• While blame can feel good momentarily, it often leads to long-term pain
• Why meditation is much more than getting rid of thoughts

In today’s fast-paced world, taking time to slow down and focus on our spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being has become increasingly difficult. But when we are intentional with our thoughts, words, and actions, we can elevate our consciousness to make a bigger impact on the people around us. That’s why I’m excited to finally share this conversation with Gordy Bal.

Gordy also shares what he calls the four levers for raising your consciousness. You’ll learn how to apply them to be more present in your daily life. But these levers aren’t just about being in the moment - they’re about discovering your true purpose and unique strengths and using them to positively impact everyone around you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Today’s episode was inspired by a comment on a post I made in our Miracle Morning Community Facebook Group. Someone asked how I built the Miracle Morning into a worldwide movement.

As you may know, one of my “impossible goals” was to change one million lives one morning at a time by selling a million copies of my self-published book. The truth is, I failed miserably in that first year and was 987,000 copies short of my goal. But the lesson from that was that I didn’t give up and found the right people to help me achieve those goals.

So today, I’ll explain step by step how I took my Miracle Morning routine and transformed it into what it is today. You’ll learn how to overcome your fears and self-doubt, pursue your biggest dreams, hold yourself accountable, and commit to achieving your biggest goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A fear of failure is normal, but not trying guarantees failure
• The exponential value of creating and growing an email list
• The importance of just getting started, being authentic and taking the first step
• The greatest form of accountability is setting a target and committing to it
• Instead of asking how to do something, ask who can help you achieve that goal.
• How to combine the Miracle Equation with your vision

When negative thoughts creep into our minds, we have a choice to make. We can let things spiral into darkness or focus on thoughts that empower and energize us to overcome them. There is a way to deal with disempowering thoughts, and that’s what this episode is all about. 

Today, I will introduce you to four powerful questions inspired by Byron Katie’s renowned method, The Work. These aren’t just prompts; they’re tools designed to challenge and change your thinking and the way you react to crippling thoughts and stressors in your life.  

We’ll go through each one, dissecting how they can help you uncover and understand the core reasons behind your stress and negativity. You’ll learn to transform those feelings into something manageable with regular practice. Most importantly, you’ll be able to shift from feeling overwhelmed to feeling empowered and controlling, no matter the challenge you face. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why starting from a place of positivity boosts creativity and resourcefulness
• Your thoughts directly influence your mood 
• Aim for progress over perfection, even when it feels like you’re backsliding
• Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow and learn
• Every small step forward leads to something greater down the road

Whenever you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, you always have the ability and freedom to choose how you react in those situations. You can choose to feel at peace and grateful for all the good things in your life and choose your optimal mental and emotional state, or as I like to call it, your inner freedom.

In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through two very simple yet transformative steps you can use to change how you feel each day and cultivate inner freedom. And the best part? It only takes about five minutes a day. These steps are inspired by one of my favorite books, Living Untethered, and are also echoed in the New Miracle Morning, Updated and Expanded Edition.

By embracing these simple practices, you can choose peace over anger and confidence over uncertainty. You’ll wake up each day feeling excited and free, knowing you have the tools to handle whatever comes your way with grace and optimism, making peace and joy your daily companions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change
• Material rewards are fleeting, inner joy and freedom last a lifetime
• If you don’t make a change, nothing changes
• The power of realizing you’re in charge of how you feel 
• You’re outside world doesn’t get to dictate your joy and fulfillment
