Why You Haven't Met Your Full Potential (Yet) | Ed Mylett
2d ago01:51:49Summary readyWhat if the biggest thing holding you back right now isn’t your circumstances… but the version of you that you’ve been unconsciously choosing every single day? In this mashup episode, I brought together Garrain Jones, Marie Forleo, James Clear, Rob Dyrdek, Bert Kreischer, Gary John Bishop, and Robin Sharma to have one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had about identity, habits, and the hidden forces shaping your life. I can tell you this right now, success is not random. It is built. And most people are building the wrong version of themselves without even realizing it. One of the biggest breakthroughs you’re going to hear in this episode is the power of awareness. I say it all the time because it is true. The moment you become aware of your patterns, you take your power back. Awareness is not a finish line, it is something you practice daily, and even catching yourself once can change your life’s trajectory in that moment. Gary John Bishop and I go deep on this idea of stepping back from your automatic responses and realizing you are not your thoughts, you are the one choosing what to do with them. James Clear brings a game changing perspective on habits that I know is going to hit you. Every action you take is casting a vote for the type of person you are becoming. That means your future is not decided in one big moment. It is decided in the small decisions you make every single day. Rob Dyrdek reinforces this idea through the relentless pursuit of becoming your best self, while Marie Forleo reminds you that clarity does not come from thinking, it comes from doing. You cannot wait your way into a better life. We also tackle something that is quietly destroying people’s potential right now, and that is distraction and comparison. Robin Sharma shares how distraction is the death of creative production and how presence is one of the greatest gifts you can give to others and to your own life. And I open up about the battle between your higher self and your lower self, and how comparison, if left unchecked, will rob you of your happiness. The truth is, you cannot build a world class life if you are constantly looking at everyone else’s. Here is what I want you to take from this episode. You do not need a new life. You need a new standard. You need a new identity. You need to start telling a different story about who you are and then back it up with actions every single day. This is not about perfection. It is about alignment. When your habits, your identity, and your standards finally line up, everything in your life begins to change. Key Takeaways: Why awareness is the first and most powerful step to changing your life How small daily habits compound into massive identity shifts over time James Clear’s concept of casting votes for the person you want to become Why distraction and comparison are silently killing your potential How to separate from your old story and create a new identity The difference between your higher self and lower self and how to live in alignment Why clarity comes from action, not overthinking I want you to listen to this episode with one question in mind. Who am I becoming with the choices I am making today? Because the answer to that question is your future. 👉 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.

How To Begin a New Stage in Life With Candace Cameron Bure
6d ago00:43:43Summary readyGet your choice of a healthy free protein staple like chicken breast for a year or ground beef in every box for LIFE PLUS $20 off when you go to ButcherBox.com/mylett What happens when your identity ends but your purpose doesn’t? In this conversation, I sat down with Candace Cameron Bure, and I’ve got to tell you, this one hit me in a different way. So many of you are in a season where something in your life has ended. A career, a relationship, a chapter you thought defined you. And now you’re asking what’s next. Candace has lived that at the highest level. From global fame on Full House to stepping away for a decade to raise her family, and then rebuilding her career all over again. What she shared about reinvention, identity, and having the courage to start over is something every one of you needs to hear. We got real about confidence, or the lack of it. She opened up about being nervous, doubting herself, and still showing up anyway. That idea of fake it until you make it is not about being inauthentic. It is about choosing courage in moments where fear is loud. And I think that is something so many people miss. You do not need to feel ready. You just need to move. Candace’s drive, what she calls her little engine that could mentality, is a masterclass in perseverance and faith in action. We also went deep on faith. And I mean really deep. This was not surface level. Candace shared what it has cost her to be bold about what she believes. Opportunities lost. Criticism. Being labeled in ways that do not reflect who she really is. But what stood out to me is that her identity is not conditional. It is not based on what people think, how her career is going, or whether life feels easy in the moment. That kind of conviction is rare. And it is powerful. We talked about fame, success, and what people get wrong about both. The influence that comes with it, but also the loss of privacy and control. We talked about marriage, priorities, and what it takes to keep a relationship strong for decades. And I loved hearing how intentional she is about protecting what matters most. Her family, her faith, and the life she is building behind the scenes, not just what the world sees. At the end, I asked her a simple but powerful question. If someone wants to run their race well, where do they start? And her answer was not complicated. It starts in your heart. It starts with a conversation with God. That moment alone is worth listening to this entire episode. This is one of those conversations that can truly shift your perspective on who you are and where you are going. Key Takeaways: Why your identity cannot be tied to a single chapter of your life How to rebuild confidence even when you feel unqualified or afraid The real cost and reward of standing firm in your beliefs What fame really gives you and what it quietly takes away How to prioritize marriage, faith, and purpose in a busy life Where to begin if you want to live with more intention and conviction 👉 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.

How To Do 10 Years Of Work In 2 | Ed Mylett
1w ago01:36:48Summary readyWhat if the thing that’s holding you back isn’t a lack of talent… but a lack of relentless standards, awareness, and the willingness to push just one more time? In this mashup, I brought together some of the most driven, disciplined, and mentally tough performers I’ve ever sat down with, and we go deep on what really separates winners from everyone else. You’re going to hear from people like Eric Thomas, Lewis Howes, Grant Cardone, Alan Stein Jr., and Ryan Hawk, and every one of them brings a different angle on the same truth: success is not an accident. It’s a decision backed by habits, standards, and daily discipline. We talk about the hidden “dream killers” that quietly derail your future before you even realize what’s happening. Things like discouragement, comparison, and the voices that cause you to question your worth and your direction. I share how awareness alone can strip these obstacles of their power, because once you can identify what’s working against you, you can finally start to take control of it. Eric Thomas brings the intensity and reminds you what it means to go all in when nobody is watching. Grant Cardone challenges you to think bigger and operate at a level where average simply is not an option. Lewis Howes opens up about overcoming internal barriers and aligning your life with purpose. Alan Stein Jr. and Ryan Hawk break down what elite performers do differently, and it always comes back to preparation, consistency, and standards that most people are not willing to live by. And I want you to really hear this part. The difference between you and the person you want to become is not some massive leap. It is the willingness to do one more. One more call. One more rep. One more hour. That mindset compounds over time and becomes your identity. It builds confidence, because confidence comes from keeping the promises you make to yourself. This episode is not just about getting motivated. It is about getting honest with yourself. Are you operating at your true standard, or are you negotiating with your potential? Because the truth is, you were not born to live an average life. You were born to max out. And the sooner you start acting like it, the sooner everything in your life begins to change. Key Takeaways: Awareness is power. When you identify the obstacles holding you back, they lose their grip on you Discouragement and comparison are silent dream killers that must be confronted head on Elite performers train to a higher standard, not just their current competition Confidence is built by keeping promises to yourself, not by waiting to feel ready The habit of “one more” is the ultimate separator between average and extraordinary Success is not about talent. It is about consistency, preparation, and discipline over time 👉 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.

Money movement services are provided by Intuit Payments Inc., licensed as a Money Transmitter by the New York State Department of Financial Services What if the O. J. Simpson murder case still has explosive evidence the world has never fully seen? Today’s episode is one of the most shocking and controversial conversations we’ve ever had on this show. I sat down with Chris Todd, a veteran private investigator who has spent years digging into the O. J. Simpson case, and what he shares will challenge everything you think you know about it. This is not just another recap of a famous trial. This is a deep dive into potential new evidence, overlooked details, and a theory that could completely change the narrative of what happened that night. Chris lays out a case that goes far beyond what most people heard during the trial. He believes there is compelling evidence that suggests multiple people may have been involved and that critical pieces of information were never fully explored or presented. We get into details about additional blood evidence, multiple footprints, and inconsistencies that raise serious questions about how the case was investigated and ultimately presented to the public. If even part of what he is saying is accurate, it could reshape how this entire case is viewed. We walk through the timeline step by step, from the moments leading up to the crime to what may have happened immediately after. I pressed him on the details, the logic, and the gaps, because I know you’re going to be asking those same questions. And what you’ll hear is a perspective that is both unsettling and incredibly thought-provoking. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, there is no denying that some of the evidence he discusses deserves a closer look. This episode is not about telling you what to believe. It’s about confronting the possibility that one of the most high-profile cases in American history may still have layers we don’t fully understand. If you thought this story was settled, this conversation might make you rethink that. Listen with an open mind. Question everything. And decide for yourself what you believe really happened in the O. J. Simpson case. Key Takeaways: The potential new evidence that suggests the O. J. Simpson case may not be as clear-cut as many believe Why some forensic details like blood evidence and footprints raise new questions The theory that more than one person may have been involved How parts of the investigation and trial may have overlooked key information Why this case still sparks debate and controversy decades later 👉 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.

How to Re-Write Your Future: The Only Strategy That Actually Works | Ed Mylett
2w ago01:41:15Summary readyWhat if the reason you’re not winning isn’t a lack of motivation… but the habits, standards, and stories you’ve been living by every single day? In this mashup, I brought together three of the most powerful minds on performance and personal growth: Eric Thomas, James Clear, and Jesse Itzler. And let me tell you something, this conversation is not about hype. It is about the real work. The kind of work that separates people who talk about winning from the ones who actually do it. You are going to hear how your habits, your standards, and your willingness to push past average are shaping every result in your life right now. James Clear breaks down why small, daily habits are not small at all. They are everything. He shows you how the systems you build either quietly move you toward your goals or slowly pull you away from them. Eric Thomas brings the intensity and reminds you what it really means to want something bad enough. Not kind of want it. Not when it is convenient. But when it costs you something. When you are tired. When nobody is watching. And Jesse Itzler gives you a completely different perspective on discomfort, showing you how leaning into hard things is actually the fastest way to expand your life. I also share with you the truth that most people do not want to hear. Your life is not changing because you are negotiating with your standards. You are negotiating with your effort. You are negotiating with your identity. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is not as complicated as you think. It is built in the decisions you make when it is easier not to. It is built in whether you choose to do one more, push one more, and become one more version of yourself every single day . This episode is going to challenge you. It is going to confront you. And if you let it, it is going to change you. Because the truth is, you do not need more information. You need more execution. You need more consistency. And you need to start living like the person you say you want to become. Key Takeaways: - Why your daily habits are either building your future or quietly destroying it - The real meaning of “wanting it bad enough” and how to raise your standards - How doing one more rep, one more call, one more action separates winners from everyone else - Jesse Itzler’s approach to using discomfort as a tool for growth - Why your identity determines your outcomes more than your goals do - How to stop negotiating with yourself and start executing at a higher level I want you to walk away from this episode with one simple question in your mind. Are you really doing what it takes, or are you just telling yourself that you are? Because your results already have the answer. 👉 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.

Jordan Belfort: Sales, Redemption, and Building an Extraordinary Life
3w ago00:52:34Summary readyWhat if the story you’re stuck in isn’t who you are… it’s just who you’ve been? In this conversation, I sit down with Jordan Belfort "The Real Wolf of Wall St", and I’ll tell you right now, this is not the interview you’re expecting. Most people know Jordan for one chapter of his life, but today we go way deeper. We talk about identity, values, and what it really takes to rewrite your story when the world keeps trying to define you by your past. And what hit me the most is this. He didn’t have to become someone new. He had to rediscover who he was before everything went off track. That is a powerful lesson for every single one of us. We also get into the truth about money, success, and the tradeoffs nobody talks about. There is a point in your life where chasing the next level has a cost, and you better start asking yourself if it is worth it. Jordan opens up about choosing ethics over easy money, even when it cost him millions. That kind of discipline and clarity is rare. We talk about building a life that is not just successful on paper, but one that actually feels right when you wake up every day. Then we shift into something every entrepreneur and salesperson needs to hear. This is a masterclass in communication and persuasion. Jordan breaks down what really makes someone influential. It is not manipulation. It is understanding people, asking better questions, mastering tonality, and building real trust. If you have ever wondered why some people instantly connect and others don’t, this part of the conversation alone is worth listening to twice. And we go into the future. AI, business, and what is coming next. Jordan is deep in the AI world right now, and what he shares about where things are headed will open your eyes. Some jobs will disappear. New ones will be created. But the people who win are the ones who adapt, who learn, and who stay ahead of the curve. The lesson is simple. If you do not disrupt yourself, someone else will. This episode is about ownership. Ownership of your story, your skills, your future, and your standards. If you are ready to stop living in your past and start building what is next, this one is for you. Key Takeaways: Why your past does not define you and how to rewrite your identity The difference between chasing money and building a meaningful life The real truth about ethical selling and influencing people the right way How tonality, presence, and communication determine your success Why becoming an expert is a decision, not a timeline The future of AI and what it means for sales, business, and entrepreneurship Why you must disrupt yourself before the world does it for you 👉 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.

3 Steps to Master Your Craft and Make More Money | Ed Mylett
3w ago01:38:39Summary readyWhat if the real reason you’re not where you want to be isn’t a lack of talent… but the habits, thoughts, and standards you’ve been tolerating? In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together some of the most powerful minds in personal development and performance to challenge the way you think about growth, discipline, and what it actually takes to win in your life. You’re going to hear from Eric Thomas, James Clear, Jim Kwik, Alan Stein Jr., David A. Arnold, and Jay Shetty as we break down the hidden patterns that either elevate you or quietly destroy your potential. Eric Thomas brings the fire and reminds you that average effort will always produce average results, and that your level of commitment is the ultimate separator. James Clear simplifies success in a way that will change how you approach your daily habits and routines. Jim Kwik shows you how your brain is your greatest asset and how unlocking it can accelerate everything in your life. And Alan Stein Jr. gives you the discipline and standards required to perform at an elite level when it matters most. But this episode is not just about performance. David A. Arnold and Jay Shetty take us deeper into the human side of growth. They talk about self-awareness, identity, and the internal conversations that shape your reality. Because the truth is, your external results will never outperform your internal belief system. If you don’t fix what’s going on inside, nothing outside will ever fully work. Throughout this entire conversation, I keep coming back to one principle that I believe with everything in me. Awareness is power. Once you become aware of what’s holding you back, whether it’s your habits, your mindset, or the standards you’re accepting, you can finally take control and start making changes that actually stick . This is about raising your identity, raising your standards, and becoming the person your dreams require. Key Takeaways: Why your daily habits are either building your dream or silently destroying it The difference between being interested and being truly committed to your goals How to reprogram your mind to work for you instead of against you Why discipline and standards matter more than motivation The hidden role self-awareness plays in long term success How your identity shapes every result you get in life The simple shifts that separate high performers from everyone else I want you to walk away from this episode with one question in your mind. Are your current habits, thoughts, and actions aligned with the life you say you want? If the answer is no, then today is your opportunity to change that. You don’t need more time. You need more intention.

The Meaning of Your Life Feat. Arthur Brooks

Money movement services are provided by Intuit Payments Inc., licensed as a Money Transmitter by the New York State Department of Financial Services Sign up for a $1 per month trial period at https://shopify.com/mylett What if the reason you feel unfulfilled isn’t because you’re failing… but because you’ve been chasing the wrong definition of success? In this conversation with Arthur Brooks, we go deep on something that hits every single one of us at some point in our lives. I told Arthur right at the beginning that when he was last on the show, even my closest friends called me about it and that never happens. That tells you the level this conversation is about to hit. This time, we go even further. We talk about the quiet feeling so many people have right now that something is off, even when life looks good on the outside. Arthur calls it a meaning crisis, and once you hear it explained, you are going to recognize it immediately in your own life. One of the most powerful parts of this episode is when Arthur breaks down the three components of meaning. He explains that if you do not have coherence, purpose, and significance, you will feel lost no matter how successful you become. I opened up about how even with achievement, wealth, and a great family, there are still moments where you ask yourself if any of it really matters. That is the gap so many high performers are living in right now. We also get real about why external success can actually make you more unhappy if you have not done the internal work. That part is going to hit a lot of you hard because you know it is true. We also go into something that honestly changed the way I think about pain. Arthur shares that suffering is not something to avoid, it is something to learn from. He explains that the problem is not the pain itself, it is our resistance to it. When you stop resisting and start learning, suffering becomes one of the greatest teachers in your life. We talk about faith, we talk about growth, and we talk about how the hardest seasons of your life may actually be the ones that give your life the most meaning. Then we shift into the world we are all living in right now and this part is eye opening. Arthur breaks down how we are living in what is essentially a modern version of a simulation, constantly on our devices, stuck in the wrong part of our brain, disconnected from real relationships and real meaning. We talk about why busyness is often just a distraction from doing the deeper work and how boredom, silence, and reflection are actually required if you want to find clarity in your life. This is not theory. This is practical, actionable truth that you can start applying immediately. This episode is about doing the work. It is about getting honest with yourself, stepping out of the noise, and reconnecting with what actually matters. If you have been feeling stuck, restless, or like something is missing, this conversation is going to give you language for it and more importantly, a path forward. Arthur said it best. The meaning of life is not something you find by accident. It is something you build through how you live, who you serve, and how you love. Key Takeaways: The three essential components of meaning and why most people are missing at least one Why external success without internal work leads to emptiness How suffering can become your greatest teacher if you stop resisting it The hidden danger of living in a digital, simulated world and how it disconnects you from meaning Why service and deep relationships are the fastest path to fulfillment How busyness is often masking a lack of self reflection and what to do about it 👉 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.

In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together some of the most powerful minds on behavior, influence, discipline, and self-awareness to help you break through what’s really been holding you back. You’re going to hear from Zoe Chance, Trent Shelton, Alex Hormozi, and Dean Graziosi as we unpack the hidden forces that shape your life. And I’ll tell you this right now, most people are not losing because they don’t know what to do. They’re losing because something internal is quietly sabotaging their execution. Zoe Chance breaks down the psychology of influence and why so many of us struggle to ask for what we want, whether that’s in business, relationships, or life. Trent Shelton brings the truth about self-worth and discipline, reminding you that your standards determine your results. Alex Hormozi gets tactical and real about what it actually takes to win, why excuses are costing you everything, and how to build leverage through action. And Dean Graziosi shares how shifting your mindset and identity can unlock opportunities that have been sitting right in front of you the entire time. One of the biggest themes in this episode is awareness. Because once you become aware of what’s holding you back, it begins to lose its power over you . Whether it’s discouragement, fear, comparison, or the need for approval, these silent killers are showing up in your life every single day. And if you don’t identify them, they will keep you stuck in the same patterns, the same results, and the same frustration. But the moment you see them clearly, you can start to take your power back. We also dive into the dangerous habits that rob you of happiness and momentum, especially comparison. When you compare your life to others or even to your past, you create unnecessary dissatisfaction and stall your growth . The truth is, your path is your path. And the faster you own it, the faster you can build something meaningful, impactful, and truly yours. This episode is about taking control again. It’s about raising your standards, getting honest about where you are, and deciding that you are no longer going to let these hidden forces run your life. You don’t need more information. You need more awareness, more discipline, and more intentional action. That’s how you separate. That’s how you win. Key Takeaways: Why awareness is the first step to breaking any limiting pattern in your life How discouragement, fear, and doubt quietly steal your dreams if left unchecked Zoe Chance’s insight on why asking boldly is a skill that changes everything Trent Shelton’s truth about discipline and raising your personal standards Alex Hormozi’s no-excuses framework for executing at a high level Dean Graziosi’s mindset shifts that unlock opportunity and growth How comparison creates unhappiness and slows your momentum The importance of taking ownership and controlling your internal state 👉 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.

How to Rewire Your Body's Response to Stress, Trauma & Anxiety Feat. Dr. Stephen Porges

Get your choice of a healthy free protein staple like chicken breast for a year or ground beef in every box for LIFE PLUS $20 off when you go to https://ButcherBox.com/mylett What if your thoughts aren’t the problem… but the state your body is in is controlling everything? In this conversation, I sat down with Dr. Stephen Porges, and I’m telling you right now, this one stretched me. Not just intellectually, but personally. Because what Dr. Porges reveals is something most of us have never been taught. Your life is not just driven by mindset or motivation. It is driven by your physiological state. And if you don’t understand that, you could spend your entire life trying to “think” your way out of something your body is actually controlling. We get into his groundbreaking work on the nervous system, the vagus nerve, and what he calls neuroception. That is your body’s ability to detect safety or danger without you even being aware of it. And here is the truth that hit me hard. If your body does not feel safe, it will not give you permission to feel joy, connection, or even perform at your best. That explains why so many high achievers still feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck even when everything on the outside looks successful. Dr. Porges breaks down trauma in a way I have never heard before. It is not just something that happened to you. It is something your nervous system holds onto because it is trying to protect you. And here is the key. The path forward is not just mindset work. It is learning how to work with your body. Becoming aware of it. Honoring it. And learning how to regulate it so you can actually change your experience of life. We also talked about leadership, parenting, and relationships. And this was a big realization for me. People perform better when they feel safe. Not when they feel pressure or fear. If you are leading a team, raising a family, or even working on yourself, your ability to create safety might be the most important skill you can develop. Because when people feel safe, they open up, they grow, and they become the best version of themselves. This episode is not surface level. It is a deep dive into understanding you. But if you stay with it, I promise you this. You will never look at your emotions, your stress, or your behavior the same way again. Key Takeaways: Your physiological state is the foundation of your thoughts, emotions, and behavior If your body does not feel safe, it will block connection, joy, and peak performance Trauma is not just an event, it is a pattern your nervous system holds onto You cannot think your way out of a state your body is creating True growth comes from learning to regulate and understand your body, not fight it The best leaders and parents create safety, not pressure This episode is not surface level. It is a deep dive into understanding you. But if you stay with it, I promise you this. You will never look at your emotions, your stress, or your behavior the same way again. 👉 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.
