    814 - Why I’m Done Performing and Back to Just Hitting Record - At Least For This Episode
    Mar 23 2026

    This episode wasn't planned out beforehand.

    No outline. No prep. No attempt to make it “valuable.” Just me hitting record and sharing what’s been on my mind and heart.

    I’ve been thinking a lot about the kind of content I actually enjoy consuming. The kind where someone just shows up, talks, and lets you into their real experience of life. No performance. No polish. No filtering everything through what they think will land best. Just honest, present conversation.

    I share a bit about a few creators who have been inspiring me lately, and why this style of communication still feels like the most meaningful to me. From there, I go into what’s been shifting in my own thinking around business, especially after finishing Company of One. I’ve gained a deeper clarity about who I’m creating for and what kind of work I actually want to build moving forward.

    I also talk about a book that found its way to me at exactly the right time, Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, and how it reawakened something that’s been quietly pursuing me for years. That led me to make a commitment to finally write my book on mastermind groups.

    Along the way, I share what’s been happening behind the scenes this past week. New episodes published, conversations that stood out, a return to early morning reading and journaling, and a sense that things are coming back into alignment in a way that feels both simple and deeply satisfying.

    This is one of those episodes where you either resonate with the style or you don’t.

    813 - The Invisible Force That Determines Business Success
    Mar 16 2026
    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a replay of a conversation I had two years ago with Alex Freeman on the UpFlip podcast. When that interview first aired, it quickly became one of the most significant entry points into my world. For several months afterward, people were reaching out to me saying they had discovered my work through that interview. Many told me they had listened to the episode multiple times, taken notes on it, journaled about it, and even meditated on the ideas we discussed. As I listened back to that conversation recently, I realized something important. Every answer I gave in that interview still reflects exactly how I think today. Nothing about my perspective has changed. If anything, the principles we discussed have only been reinforced through my experience since then. In this episode, Alex and I explored one central theme: the invisible force behind business success. That force is mindset. The beliefs you hold about what is possible, what you deserve, what value you bring, and how the world works will ultimately shape every action you take and every result you experience. What follows are the core insights from our conversation. Insights From This Episode Success in business is far less about tactics and far more about mindset. Many entrepreneurs believe the key to success lies in strategies, marketing systems, funnels, or technical knowledge. While those things can be helpful, they are not the true determining factor. In my experience, success in business is about 20 percent knowing what to do and 80 percent mindset. Mindset is the collection of beliefs that determine how you interpret the world. These beliefs influence how you think, how you feel, the actions you take, and ultimately the results you produce. Every belief carries consequences. If you believe something to be true, your subconscious mind will work to create experiences that align with that belief. Most of our beliefs were formed very early in life. Many of them were established before we even developed the ability to critically evaluate what we were being told. Messages from parents, teachers, religious leaders, peers, media, and culture often shaped our beliefs about money, work, success, and possibility. Many of those beliefs remain active decades later, often operating beneath our awareness. One of the most powerful distinctions in business is the difference between an employee mindset and a business mindset. An employee mindset tends to associate income with time spent working. A business mindset understands that people pay for value and transformation rather than time. When entrepreneurs fully adopt the belief that value determines income, their approach to business begins to change dramatically. A growth mindset is essential for entrepreneurship. A fixed mindset assumes that talents, abilities, and intelligence are largely predetermined. A growth mindset recognizes that skills can be learned, expanded, and developed through effort, curiosity, and practice. Entrepreneurs must continually adapt, learn new skills, and evolve their thinking. Without a growth mindset, it becomes extremely difficult to navigate the changing landscape of business. Many of the statistics surrounding business failure can be traced back to mindset. A large percentage of businesses fail within their first few years. While there are many surface-level explanations for this, I believe the deeper cause often lies in limiting beliefs, fear, and an inability to adapt one's thinking when circumstances change. There are several clear signs that someone’s mindset may be limiting their business growth. One of the most obvious indicators is chronic stress and overwhelm whenever unexpected situations arise. Another indicator is inconsistent profitability over time. When entrepreneurs constantly feel reactive, anxious, or uncertain, it often points to underlying beliefs that need to be examined. Mindset can be revealed through simple questions. I often ask people questions such as: What outcome do you want that you are not currently experiencing? Do you believe it is possible? What actions could move you closer to that outcome? Why haven’t those actions already been taken? Questions like these often expose the beliefs that are quietly shaping someone's behavior. Once limiting beliefs are identified, they can be replaced. The process involves identifying the belief, discovering where it came from, evaluating whether it is actually true, and intentionally replacing it with a more empowering belief. Repetition and environment play a major role in reinforcing new beliefs. Many people attempt to change their beliefs through affirmations alone. Affirmations can be powerful, but they only work when they are aligned with deeper subconscious beliefs. If a person repeats a statement that their subconscious mind rejects, the affirmation will have little impact. Real mindset change requires addressing the underlying belief structures that already exist. ...

  • 812 - What Legacy Really Looks Like: The Ripple Effect of Your Voice

    812 - What Legacy Really Looks Like: The Ripple Effect of Your Voice
    Mar 9 2026

    Earlier this week I was a guest on Ken Freire’s podcast, and near the end of our conversation he asked me a question I’ve been asked many times over the years:

    “What legacy do you hope to leave behind?”

    Over the years, I’ve realized that legacy isn’t something I’m hoping to build someday in the future. It’s something that has already been unfolding through the conversations I’ve had, the encouragement I’ve offered, and the content I’ve created over the past twenty to thirty years.

    In this episode, I reflect on what legacy really means to me.

    I share stories about handwritten letters I’ve received from listeners whose lives were deeply impacted by something they heard on a podcast episode. I talk about the ripple effects we can never fully see, including people whose paths were changed years ago by something we said without ever realizing it.

    I also reflect on the incredible power of simply using your voice to encourage, equip, and inspire others.

    Whether it’s through podcasting, conversations, writing, or any other form of communication, the words we put into the world can influence lives in ways that continue for generations.

    Words truly do create worlds.
