Last week, I released Part 1 of a musical conversation between Brotha James (aka my good friend, Jeremy Reisig) and Jon Berghoff. They shared some fascinating never-before-told stories and jammed out to a few of my favorite songs, including “Grateful” and “The Front Row Anthem.”

Today we release Part 2, and you’ll hear the debut of the brand new Miracle Morning song!

The power of music is undeniable, but Brotha James, takes it to a whole new level by combining music with positive affirmations.

His mission is to spread love and joy through music, messages, and inspirational living, and that’s why I invite Brotha James to perform at all of our live events.

Of all of the Brotha James songs, I think #3 may be my favorite. But then again, I may be a little biased ;^)

KEY TAKEAWAYS

During Part 2 of this musical conversation, you’ll get to experience 3 more inspiring Brotha James songs:

• Song/Message #1: “Slow Down”—Far too often, we feel the need to move faster, especially when we look at what others are doing. This song is all about slowing things down and appreciating the little things in life that keep us grounded.
• Song/Message #2: “Abracadabra”—A lot of us associate the word ‘abracadabra’ with magic. This song is about the magic you can create in your own life. It’s about deciding that you can do anything you want to do, if you’re willing to go for it.
• Song/Message #3: “Miracle Morning”—Brotha James once asked me “Hal, what is a miracle morning?” My response was simple… “It’s any time you wake up before you have to and do something that empowers you to become the best version of yourself.” That’s what this song is all about.

''How do I lift people up, through the words I use in the music I write.'' - Brotha James

What if you could listen to music every day that not only sounded great, but the lyrics actually programmed your subconscious mind so that you automatically felt happier, more grateful, and even more motivated?  

You’re about to meet the man Brotha James (Real Name: Jeremy Reisig), who has dedicated his life to creating “Music with a Message.”

He is a musician, speaker and entrepreneur, who is on a mission to spread love and joy through music, messages, and inspirational living. His positive energy is contagious and his enthusiasm for creating, playing and performing helps him engage audiences of all ages.

In this 2-part rhythmic conversation, join two of my greatest friends, Jon Berghoff and Brotha James as they jam out to 6 different songs, each with a meaningful message that will help you to become the best version of yourself and start living life to the fullest.

What I absolutely love about Brotha James is that every single lyric he writes, is written with purpose and his message to all audiences is the same: be a dreamer, be animalistic in pursuit of those dreams, be good to yourself and others, and be grateful.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

During Part 1 of this conversation, you’ll get to experience 2 of my favorite Brotha James songs:

• Song/Message #1: “Gratitude”—Instead of focusing on the negative, learn how to reprogram your mind to see gratitude all around you and use it to propel your life forward.
• Song/Message #2: “Living In the Front Row”—What can you learn from your Front Row experiences? Reflect on your front row moments, write them down and see how that feeling transforms your life.

Plus, you'll also get to hear:

• The story of how Jon Berghoff and Brotha James met.
• How to change lives with the power of positivity and random acts of kindness.
• And so much more…

''Work hard when people aren’t watching so you’re the best at whatever you do when they are watching.'' - Jeff Kaylor

Do you regularly spend time with people who are challenging you to set bigger goals, and helping you to achieve your goals?

Our ability to achieve our goals can be greatly influenced by the people we spend the most time with. Not only can they push us to succeed, but they can also help us define what that success looks like.

If you’re like most, financial freedom is an important goal. But what else do you value? What about contribution, health, family, accountability, or even bucket-list adventures?

In today’s conversation, Jon Berghoff talks with Mike McCarthy in his home in Colorado to discuss what it takes to live your truth and grab life big.

Mike is a serial entrepreneur and co-founder and CEO of GoBundance, an Adventure Masterminding group of hard charging entrepreneurs who want to lead epic lives!

He also happens to be the co-author of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families, co-creator of GratefulParent.com, and is the Regional Owner for the Keller Williams Realty Greater Pennsylvania Region, which covers Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Southern New Jersey.  

What I love most about this episode, is how Mike includes his family in achieving his goals. He doesn’t let the fact that he’s got kids—or anything else in his life—hold him back from grabbing life big, and neither should you!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A new mindset about “Grabbing Life Big!” that will help you to achieve your goals.
• The GoBundance tribe’s 6 pillars of strength and what they can teach you about prioritizing what matters most.
• Why you don’t have to give up on your goals and dreams, just because you have children.
• Adapting the Miracle Morning routine for you and your children.
• How a Spirit Coach helped Mike tap into his most authentic self, uncover his biggest strengths, and access a deeper wisdom he never knew he had.
• A really fun exercise to overcome the FEAR of being rejected.
• And much more…

''We’re all infinite spirit with infinite potential'' - Mike McCarthy

When we accept life before it happens, we get to keep the power that adversity will try to take away from us. We get to control the narrative. Instead of focusing on “why me?”, we can instead choose how we give meaning to something. In other words, adversity doesn’t hurt you, it serves you!

Which is what you learned in Part 1 of “Beating Cancer: A Dialogue On Converting Adversity into Advantage”. If you haven’t heard it, I encourage you to go back and check it out!

In Part 2, we continue the conversation and dive deep into what matters the most. I break down the most profound lessons learned since being diagnosed with cancer, including the 3 factors (Perspective, Love & Gratitude, and Freedom) that have completely transformed the way I now see the world.

This conversation actually may surprise a lot of listeners. You’ll hear that before being diagnosed with cancer, I never truly believed I was deserving of my success. Today I not only explain why, but I share the affirmation that’s shifting my mindset!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Learn how perspective can determine your attitude, and therefore the quality of your life.  
• How to turn emotional pain and negativity into love and gratitude that serves you unconditionally.
• Transform your relationships and your business, through the act of selflessly giving.
• The single most important way to achieve ultimate freedom in your life. HINT: It doesn’t matter how much money you have, this is something you can take action on today!  
• Find out why you should attend The Best Year Ever Blueprint.

''It is our perspective that determines our attitude.'' - Hal Elrod

As many of you  know, shortly after I was diagnosed with cancer in November, my good friend and co-creator of the Best Year Ever Blueprint, Jon Berghoff, stepped up and has been leading the Achieve Your Goals podcast ever since so I can focus on healing. (THANK YOU!!)

Although cancer wasn’t my conscious choice, I do believe that I am 100% responsible for choosing how I respond to it. By choosing to accept what I can’t change, be grateful for all that I have, and finding/creating meaning & purpose from what might otherwise be a negative experience, I’m finding once again that every adversity holds within it a profound, life-transforming advantage.

This mindset applies to all of us. We all face adversity, and it is up to us to decide what meaning we give to it, and what purpose it serves for ourselves, our loved ones, and the greater good.

That’s what this 2 part dialogue between Jon and myself is going to cover. It’s not about what’s going wrong, but rather, actively asking ourselves what we can learn from these experiences and how we can use them to our advantage.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The “Can’t Change It” mantra that will help you turn any adversity into purpose that serves the world.
• Learn the powerful daily affirmation that gives Hal direction when the meaning isn’t clear.
• How to win in business & life by throwing out the “master plan” and focusing on adding value.
• Why overnight success is a myth! Jon and Hal recount the failed businesses that led to their “overnight success.”
• Hear about Hal’s risky heart procedure, holistic Cancer treatments vs. Chemotherapy, and how he’s detoxifying his body with… wait for it… coffee enema’s!
• Hal reveals his most profound realization since being diagnosed with Cancer and how it’s helping him win the fight!

I never used to think I was a “salesperson” until I realized we are all born with the ability to sell, and selling is a skill that benefits all of us. Think about it...

As children, we were always trying to sell our parents on letting us eat candy, stay up late, have our friends sleep over, you name it. Now we’re always selling others on our ideas, and most importantly, on ourselves.

Today’s guest, Karen Briscoe, is an expert when it comes to selling. Karen and her team have been recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the 250 Top Realtor® teams in the United States, and they have sold more than 1,000 homes valued at over $1 billion.

In today’s conversation, Karen shares her story and breaks down the framework that led to creating an exceptionally successful business, based on—you got it—selling.

This discussion will highlight some of the most important habits you can implement to achieve success at the highest level. If you’re an entrepreneur, you'll especially appreciate the simple, yet effective sales principles that Karen outlines for generating leads, tracking results, overcoming rejection and ultimately growing your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How to make sure you’re creating something that people will actually value and buy.
• The fundamental keys to building a successful and sustainable business.
• The highly effective habits that contributed to Karen’s success and the #1 source to becoming a lifelong learner.
