    • Why planning beats "winging it"
    • How to use the Next 90 Rule to regain focus
    • The power of planning your transitions
    • How a weekly time budget can change everything

  • 177 - We don’t need balance - We need better priorities

    We’ve all heard it—“You just need better balance.” But what if balance isn’t the answer at all? What if constantly chasing balance is actually what’s draining you, burning you out, and leaving you feeling overwhelmed and stuck?

    In this episode of the Made4More Podcast, we’re challenging the myth of balance and leaning into something far more powerful: prioritization. Mario walks us through what it means to stop juggling everything equally and start living with intention—putting first things first, managing our energy instead of just our time, and choosing what matters most when it matters most.

    Whether you’re a leader, a parent, a business owner, or someone just trying to keep your head above water, this episode will encourage you to stop operating on empty, let go of unrealistic expectations, and step into a life of clarity and purpose. You’ll learn how to identify your “Big 3” for the week, protect your energy hours, and even create your own “stop doing” list—because not everything deserves your time.

    This isn’t just about productivity—it’s about personal growth, leadership, and living a life that reflects your values.

    So if you’re tired of being “busy” and ready to live with intention, this one’s for you.

    Remember: We EXIST for more, we're here to OFFER more, don't EVER give up, every single one of us are Made4More.

    Recovery isn’t just for those struggling with drugs or alcohol—it’s for anyone facing life’s deep wounds: trauma, codependency, anger, food, or pills. In this heartfelt episode, we welcome Mark Hooper, a man who’s walked through it all and is now celebrating 20 years of sobriety. Mark opens up about his early life, his battles with relapse, and the personal transformation that followed.

    From brokenness to purpose, Mark shares how recovery gave him tools not just to survive—but to serve. Today, he’s involved in prison ministry, global missions, and living each day as the mission. This is a story of faith, friendship, and the kind of healing that doesn't always come with a storybook ending—but reveals a greater plan at work.

    Whether you’re in recovery or just navigating life’s hard places, this conversation will inspire and challenge you

  • 174 - Training the WILL before the trial

    In this episode of the M4M Podcast, we explore powerful lessons from The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday—focusing on the discipline of the will, the importance of preparing for trials before they hit, and the strength that comes from accepting what we can’t control.

    We unpack how figures like Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt endured hardship by cultivating resilience from within, and how our response—not our circumstances—defines our growth. From learning to master emotional responses to practicing the “premortem” mindset in leadership, this episode is a call to lead with intention and humility.

    Whether you're facing a personal challenge, leading a team, or just trying to grow day by day, this conversation reminds us: Life won’t stop coming—but neither should we. It’s not about what happens to us, but what we’re building in response.

    • Are you building or breaking your will?
    • Are your emotions in the driver’s seat—or your vision?
    • Are you preparing for life’s trials or simply reacting to them?
    • Are you trying to force something that’s not your gift?
    • How do you respond when control slips from your hands?

    Made4More & What How We Can Help

    In this episode of the Made4More Podcast, we dive into one of the most impactful lessons from the book we’re working through: learning how to use obstacles to our advantage, rather than letting them define or defeat us. Drawing from powerful examples like Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Arthur Ashe, we break down what it means to meet adversity not with aggression, but with composure, clarity, and action.

    We explore the dichotomy of stepping back vs. pushing through, the discipline required to pause, and the importance of leading from a place of growth—not ego. From stripped screws to leadership failures, it’s all about self-awareness, humility, and shifting perspective to seize the offensive in life and leadership.
