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? 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. I truly believe you were born to do something extraordinary with your life. The challenge is that too many people spend their lives operating from old conditioning, fear, and limiting beliefs instead of intention and possibility. When you begin to change your thoughts, raise your standards, and intentionally pursue the emotions and life you truly desire, everything around you begins to change. The opportunities were always there. You simply become the person capable of seeing them. Key Takeaways: • Why your thoughts become the currency you use to purchase your future • Ryan Pineda on embracing discomfort as the foundation for long term success • Lewis Howes on building confidence by keeping the promises you make to yourself • Jay Shetty's reminder that serving others is one of the fastest paths to living a meaningful life • Dan Martell on becoming the person who changes your family's future and why your greatest struggles often become your greatest strengths • Tom Bilyeu's practical strategies for mastering time and creating momentum every single day • Why intention, repetition, and environment shape the life you ultimately attract • How changing who you are on the inside transforms what becomes possible on the outside You are far closer to the life you want than you think. One decision, one new belief, one courageous action, and one more intentional day can completely change your future. I hope this episode reminds you that you were never meant to live an average life. You were born to do something great, and that journey begins with the person you choose to become today. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. 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 immediately whether your people truly respect you as a leader. Real Confidence Carries Itself: Why the strongest leaders don't announce themselves, and how to build the kind of internal identity that people feel before you ever say a word. Before we move into Season Two, John and I are doing something we have never done before. For the next two Thursdays, we are sitting down together to answer your questions from Season One! If you have been watching these laws and something hit you, challenged you, or left you wondering how to apply it in your life or your business, this is your moment.

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. 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. You Don't Have to Be Qualified: Why the people least likely to think they can make a difference are exactly the ones who should Collective Consciousness: Learn about the only thing that will actually change the world at scale.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances, but the masks you've been wearing? 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. I believe one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is the freedom to stop performing and simply start living as your authentic self. The people who inspire us the most are rarely the ones who appear perfect. They are the ones who have the courage to be real. If you've been carrying shame, chasing approval, or believing that achievement will finally make you enough, this episode is your invitation to let that weight go. The world doesn't need another version of someone else. It needs the person you were created to be. Key Takeaways: Why confidence and ego are completely different and how humility creates lasting success Tom Papa's perspective on balancing ambition with authenticity Lewis Howes' powerful lesson on removing the masks that keep us disconnected from ourselves Why vulnerability is one of the greatest strengths a leader can possess Dr. G's insights on how shame becomes stored in the body and how healing begins How LeAnn Rimes learned to separate her identity from criticism and public opinion Why seeking approval from others will never replace believing in yourself The freedom that comes from embracing your authentic self instead of chasing perfection The greatest version of your life begins the moment you stop trying to earn your worth and start believing you already have it. My hope is that this episode gives you the courage to let go of the masks, trust who you really are, and step fully into the life you were created to live. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. 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. There Is No Such Thing as Business Ethics: The story John told the Wall Street Journal and what it reveals about the only standard that actually holds up under pressure. Character Plus Competence: Why having great character but low competence still fails your team, and why one can never substitute for the other. The Integrity Test: John's single question that tells you immediately whether your leadership is getting stronger or weaker over time. Trust Is Built in Small Moments: Why the private decisions you make when no one is watching are the ones that determine whether people fully follow you or just show up. 🗓️ New law dropping every Thursday so make sure you're subscribed so you never miss one.

You think you know what confidence is. You don't. Not yet. I brought Dr. Nate Zinsser onto this show because what he teaches is unlike anything you have heard in any self-help book or motivational speech. He is the director of West Point's Performance Psychology Program. He has spent 30 years teaching the most elite military leaders, Olympic athletes, and pro sports teams in the world how to build real, unshakable confidence from the inside out. He is the psychologist behind Eli Manning's two Super Bowl victories over my Patriots, and I'll never forgive him for it. But here is what got me. This is not about pumping yourself up. This is about rewiring your brain at the neurological level so that confidence becomes your default. And every single one of you can do it starting today. Here is what you will gain from this episode: The Psychological Bank Account: Learn the exact exercise Dr. Zinsser gives every West Point cadet to build a foundation of confidence from the memories and experiences you already have The Five Minute Daily Practice: Discover the single most powerful mental training habit you can build, three questions at the end of every day that literally rewire your brain for confidence Temporary vs. Permanent: Understand how the most confident people in the world process setbacks differently and how to adopt their framework starting today You Are Not a Failure: Learn the most important distinction in this entire episode. You may have failed at something. That does not make you a failure. Dr. Zinsser explains how to stop letting that one lie destroy your confidence Preparation and Performance: Find out why the psychology of preparation and the psychology of performance are completely different and why confusing them is costing you You have everything you need to start building your confidence today.

What if the greatest upgrade you'll ever make isn't to your business or your body, but to your brain? In this mashup episode, I bring together some of the brightest minds in neuroscience, peak performance, and human potential to answer one of the most important questions you'll ever ask: how do you unlock the best version of yourself? So many people believe they're limited by talent, circumstances, or intelligence. The truth is that your brain is constantly changing, adapting, and responding to what you focus on every single day. When you learn how to direct your attention, strengthen your mindset, and intentionally train your mind, you begin changing your future long before your circumstances change. Jim Kwik joins me to break down how your brain filters the world and why your standards matter even more than your goals. We unpack the incredible power of your reticular activating system and how asking better questions literally changes what opportunities you begin to notice. Dr. Joe Dispenza explains how your personality creates your personal reality and why lasting transformation starts by rewiring the thoughts and beliefs you've been carrying for years. Together, we explore why your mind is far more powerful than you've ever been taught to believe. You'll also hear an incredible conversation with Dr. Amishi Jha about the science of attention and memory. She reveals why attention is the gateway to learning, performance, and lasting memories, and why the ability to stay present has become one of the greatest competitive advantages in today's distracted world. We dive into how every experience is shaping your brain, why focus strengthens memory, and how training your attention can improve every area of your life from business to relationships to personal fulfillment. Throughout this episode, I challenge you to stop believing that your current thinking has to become your permanent reality. The brain is designed to adapt. Your identity can expand. Your focus can improve. Your habits can change. When you begin controlling what you repeatedly think about and where you intentionally place your attention, you start creating a completely different future. Your greatest asset has always been sitting between your ears. The question is whether you're training it with the same intensity you train everything else. Key Takeaways: Why your attention determines the quality of your life and your future Jim Kwik's explanation of how your brain filters opportunities through the reticular activating system Why your standards shape your results more than your goals Dr. Joe Dispenza's insight that your personality becomes your personal reality How changing your thinking creates lasting personal transformation Dr. Amishi Jha's explanation of why attention is the gateway to memory and learning How being more present improves performance, relationships, and decision making Practical ways to retrain your brain to create greater focus, confidence, and success Your brain is the most valuable asset you'll ever own, but most people spend more time upgrading their phone than upgrading the way they think. If you're ready to become more focused, more intentional, and more capable than you've ever been before, this episode will give you the tools to start transforming your life from the inside out. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

There are two kinds of leaders. One walks into a room and says: "Here I am." The other walks in and says: "There you are." Everything about the Law of Addition comes down to which one you are. 📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. Law #5 of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the Law of Addition, and the principle is this: leaders add value by serving others. It sounds simple. John will tell you it is one of the hardest laws to consistently live, because it cuts against almost everything our culture teaches about success. We are taught to climb, to get noticed, to win. And winning matters. But building something great also matters. And you cannot build something great while making the people around you feel small. John breaks down the five specific ways leaders add value and draws one of the sharpest distinctions I've heard in any leadership teaching: the difference between "I deserve" and "I serve." One letter separates those two words. An entire leadership philosophy separates the leaders who live them. I open this one by sharing something I think about constantly: the job of a leader is to transfer belief. Not just skills, not just information, but belief. When you pour belief into someone, they want to live up to it. They want to return the investment. And I push this law into the place most high achievers are afraid to look: home. Because one of the most dangerous patterns I see is leaders who add value publicly and subtract value privately. Here's what you'll gain from this episode: "Here I Am" vs. "There You Are": The two types of leaders John describes, and the one question that will immediately tell you which one you've been. I Deserve vs. I Serve: The single line that separates leaders who build real influence from leaders who only have a title. The Five Ways Leaders Add Value: John's specific, practical framework for how to actually do this, starting today, without a platform or a title. Belief Transfer: Why the most important thing you can give the people you lead isn't a skill or a strategy — and what happens when someone finally receives it. Leadership Starts at Home: The rep for this week, and why the law of addition has to begin with the people closest to you before it can mean anything anywhere else. This series releases every Thursday and each law builds on the last. If you haven't grabbed the free 21-page workbook yet, click the link below.

He came to North America at age 8 from communist Yugoslavia with one suitcase, no connections, and parents who had nothing to give him but opportunity. Robert Herjavec turned that into a $500 million cybersecurity empire. One inch at a time. Robert brings something rare to this conversation: 22 years on Shark Tank, multiple exits, and a front-row seat to what separates businesses that actually scale from ones that just make noise. He's watched thousands of entrepreneurs pitch, fail, succeed, and lie to themselves about which one they're doing. His perspective on where the economy is heading, what AI is actually going to destroy, why most people raise money way too early, and what it genuinely costs to build something lasting is as grounded and unfiltered as anything I've heard from anyone at his level. In this conversation, I push Robert on whether Shark Tank has actually done damage to a generation of entrepreneurs, a question I've asked Damon and Barbara that nobody has answered the way Robert does here. I challenge him on the influencer economy and what it's doing to people's perception of what building a business really looks like. And I get personal with him about faith, fathers, and whether the grind of it all is worth it at this pace. Here's what you'll gain from this episode: One Inch at a Time: The philosophy Robert has carried since he was 22 years old, and how it connects directly to my "Power of One More" framework - the core of how both Robert and I approach the hardest days in business and in life. What Shark Tank Actually Did to Entrepreneurship: Robert gives the most honest answer I've ever heard from a Shark on whether the show did damage to a generation of entrepreneurs. Hold Your Equity: Why Robert has self-funded every business he's ever built, the advice that shaped that conviction, and a warning about raising money early. Where AI and the Trades Are Heading: Robert's specific read on which industries are about to be wiped out and which are going to double in income. Good Doesn't Mean Weak: The tough lesson both Robert and I learned the hard way and what you should do instead. This conversation went places neither of us planned, and I think that's what makes it one of my favorites. Learn more about your sleep today.

What if the person holding you back isn't anyone else, but the voice you hear every single day inside your own mind? In this mashup episode, I bring together two of the most powerful conversations I've ever had about identity, self respect, and the stories we tell ourselves. The greatest battle you'll ever fight isn't with your competitors, your circumstances, or even your past. It's with the conversation you're having with yourself every single day. Because the quality of your life will always rise or fall to the quality of that internal dialogue. If you don't believe you're worthy of more, you'll never fight for more. But once you change the way you see yourself, everything around you begins to change. Leila Hormozi shares one of the most profound questions I've ever heard: "Do I respect myself more or less because of this decision?" That simple filter has the power to transform your relationships, your career, your habits, and every choice you make. We talk about why self respect is built through daily actions, not empty affirmations, and why discipline is one of the greatest acts of self love you can give yourself. When you begin making decisions that honor who you want to become, your confidence naturally grows because you're finally keeping the promises you make to yourself. Nick Santonastasso delivers one of the most inspiring stories you'll ever hear. Born without legs and with one arm, Nick refused to let the world define what was possible for his life. His willingness to embrace discomfort, overcome impossible odds, and chase his dream of becoming a varsity wrestler proves that confidence isn't something you're born with. It's a skill you build through courage, action, and relentless belief. His story is a reminder that your circumstances never determine your future. Your decisions do. Throughout this episode, I challenge you to stop waiting for permission, stop believing the old stories you've repeated for years, and start becoming the person you were created to be. You don't need to become someone else to change your life. You need to start having a different conversation with yourself. The moment you begin treating yourself with greater discipline, greater respect, and greater belief, you'll unlock a version of yourself that's been waiting to emerge all along. Key Takeaways: • Why the conversation you have with yourself determines the direction of your life• Leila Hormozi's powerful question that instantly improves your decision making: "Do I respect myself more or less?"• Why self discipline is one of the purest expressions of self love• How keeping promises to yourself builds unshakable confidence• Nick Santonastasso's incredible lesson that confidence is a skill, not a personality trait• Why your circumstances never have the final say over your future• How to replace limiting stories with empowering beliefs that create lasting change• Why becoming your best self is one of the greatest gifts you can give the people you love If you're ready to stop letting fear, doubt, or your past define your future, this episode will challenge you to raise your standards, rewrite your story, and start becoming the person you were always capable of being. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.
