How To Unleash The Story of Greatness That Lives Within YOU
What if the only thing standing between you and greatness was the story you’ve been telling yourself?
In this electrifying mashup, I’m bringing together some of the most inspiring voices on the planet to help you rewrite the narrative of your life and unlock the greatness that already exists within you. You’ll hear life-changing insights from Les Brown, Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins, Dean Graziosi, Heidi Powell, Trent Shelton, Chris Powell, and Damon West—each of them sharing hard-earned wisdom that can transform your mindset, your habits, and your future.
Les Brown reminds us that “when you have a big dream, it will introduce you to a part of yourself that you don’t know yet.” If you’ve ever doubted your ability to rise above your circumstances, his words will light a fire in you. Dean Graziosi pulls back the curtain on how facing the storm in your life—whether it's relationships, business, or self-doubt—is the only way to reach the next level. And Heidi and Chris Powell break down the power of keeping promises to yourself, because every transformation starts with the smallest commitments.
Trent Shelton takes us through the emotional rollercoaster of going from an NFL hopeful to finding a bigger purpose beyond the game. "Something bigger than you will keep you from quitting," he says. And Damon West, a man who went from a life sentence in prison to becoming one of the most impactful motivational speakers, proves that no matter how dark your past, you can rewrite your future. His story will shake you to your core.
This episode is a wake-up call. The only limits in your life are the ones you accept. You are not defined by your past. You are not disqualified by your failures. The pen is in your hands, and it’s time to start writing a new chapter.
Key Takeaways:
- How to turn your biggest failures into your greatest strengths
- Why facing the storm is the only way to reach the next level
- The secret to lasting transformation—integrity momentum
- Why your confidence isn’t lost, it’s just buried under broken promises
- How to use adversity as fuel instead of letting it break you
- The mindset shift that will separate you from the pack
Your story isn’t over—it’s just getting started. The question is, are you ready to own it?

Why Emotional Energy is the New Currency of Leadership
The Future of Leadership: Are You Ready for What’s Coming?
Most people think leadership is about telling others what to do—but what if that’s completely wrong? In this episode, I sit down with my great friend Brendon Burchard to challenge everything you thought you knew about leadership. The world is changing faster than ever, and the old way of leading just won’t cut it anymore. If you’re still leading the way you did five years ago, you’re already falling behind.
Brendon and I break down what it really takes to lead in today’s world, from how to get people to buy into your vision to why energy is your most valuable leadership asset. We’re talking about what separates great leaders from those who struggle to keep their teams engaged—and trust me, it’s not what you think. Brendon shares his game-changing insight: “People support what they create.” If your people don’t feel like they have a stake in the vision, they’ll never be all in.
We also get into the biggest leadership mistake holding most people back—clinging to old ideas instead of adapting. Even legendary leadership expert John Maxwell told me that he used to believe consistency was the key… until he realized that in today’s world, great leaders must be willing to change their minds when new information comes in. The companies and leaders who refuse to evolve? They won’t survive the next five years.
This conversation is packed with real, actionable leadership strategies you can start using today—whether you’re leading a team of two or two thousand. And if you’re not thinking about energy, emotional connection, and adaptability as core leadership skills, this episode will shift your mindset forever.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The #1 mistake leaders make that kills engagement
✅ How to create buy-in so your team is all in on the vision
✅ Why AI is forcing leaders to change how they lead—NOW
✅ The real reason people quit (it’s not what you think!)
✅ How energy and emotional connection separate great leaders from average ones
This is the leadership conversation you didn’t know you needed to hear. Let’s get after it.

From Life Sentence to Life’s Purpose with Damon West
Are You Living in a Prison Without Bars?
Some of the most locked-up people aren’t behind steel bars—they’re trapped in their own minds. My guest today, my friend Damon West, knows this better than anyone. Once a promising college quarterback, he spiraled into addiction and crime, ultimately sentenced to life in prison. But Damon didn't just survive—he transformed. He found a way to change his environment from the inside out, becoming what he calls a "coffee bean"—a force for change rather than a victim of his surroundings.
Damon’s story is unreal. He was sentenced to life but earned his way out by changing himself first. Today, he’s one of the most sought-after speakers in the world, sharing the same message that saved him. He went from practicing speeches in his parents’ spare bedroom to standing in front of NFL teams, Fortune 500 companies, and thousands of students. He’s proof that no matter how far you’ve fallen, you can rewrite your story.
This conversation is filled with raw truth and real strategies. We break down what it takes to overcome mental prisons, fear, and limiting beliefs. Damon shares how he got his first big break by refusing to take “no” for an answer and the lessons he’s learned from some of the world’s greatest leaders. And in a moment that will stay with you, he reveals a forgiveness letter from one of his victims—proof that redemption is possible.
This episode is about hope. It’s about getting back up when life knocks you down. And it’s about understanding that your past doesn’t define you—your decisions do.
Key Takeaways
✅ The coffee bean mindset—how to change your environment instead of letting it change you
✅ How Damon went from seven years in maximum security to becoming a top speaker
✅ Why you must ask the question—and how one bold move got him in front of Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney
✅ The power of gratitude and giving—how a simple keychain changed his entire life
✅ The life-changing impact of forgiveness—including the letter that changed everything
If Damon West can rebuild his life from a prison cell to flying private, what’s stopping you from making a change today? This is your wake-up call. Let’s go!

How Facing Your Fears Can Help You Conquer Them
What if your biggest fear is the one thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live?
Fear is a liar. It whispers that you’re not good enough, that you should wait, that failure is too risky. But what if I told you that fear is actually the roadmap to your next breakthrough? In this episode, I sit down with some of the most incredible minds—Tony Robbins, Rich Diviney, Jen Gottlieb, Colin O’Brady, Robin Sharma, John Assaraf, and James Lawrence—to break down how fear is shaping your decisions, holding you back, and how you can use it as fuel to push forward.
Tony Robbins reveals how the media and external noise create unnecessary fear, and how the difference between fear and faith is simply the story we tell ourselves. Rich Diviney talks about resilience—not just bouncing back but coming back stronger—and shares the mindset shift that separates top performers from everyone else. Jen Gottlieb teaches how to put fear in the passenger seat and take control of your life, proving that when you face fear head-on, its power over you disappears. Colin O’Brady takes us through his incredible transformation from being told he’d never walk again to breaking world records by choosing courage over comfort.
You’ll also hear Robin Sharma explain why fear is the gateway to greatness, how we must “hug the monster” and realize that most of what we’re afraid of is an illusion. John Assaraf lays out a step-by-step process to retrain your brain and turn fear into a tool for success. And James Lawrence, the Iron Cowboy, proves that the mind is more powerful than the body, walking us through his moments of absolute physical breakdown—and how he pushed through anyway.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How fear creates invisible barriers that are limiting your success
- The difference between fear and intuition (and how to tell them apart)
- Techniques to retrain your brain and use fear as fuel instead of a roadblock
- Why resilience is more than just “bouncing back”—it’s about becoming stronger
- The power of pushing past your limits and discovering what you're truly capable of
The truth is, you’re not afraid of failure—you’re afraid of what happens if you actually succeed. But let me remind you of something: you were born to do something great with your life. Don’t let fear rob you of that. The world doesn’t need a smaller version of you—it needs the real you, stepping up, playing full out, and living at the highest level. It’s time to face your fears and conquer them once and for all.

Success Without Stress, Is It Possible?
Are You Chasing Stress Instead of Success?
Do you ever feel like you're constantly chasing the next thing—only to realize you're too stressed to enjoy any of it? I know that feeling all too well. One of my biggest regrets in life is how much time I’ve spent in stress instead of in the moment. And I know I’m not alone.
Stress isn’t happening in the present—it lives in the future. It’s worrying about problems that don’t even exist yet. But here’s the truth: Peace and productivity only exist in the now. If you’re always “future traveling,” always chasing the next achievement, the next milestone, the next weekend… you’ll never truly arrive. In this episode, I’ll share a powerful lesson I learned from a street artist in Central Park that will change the way you approach your dreams.
Because here’s the key—you CAN have big goals and dreams without letting them steal your joy. You CAN move toward a vision for your life while still being fully present in the moments that matter. The difference between success that’s fulfilling and success that leaves you empty comes down to one thing: learning how to balance focus on the future with presence in the now.
This episode is your wake-up call to stop escaping into stress and start living in the richness of the present.
Key Takeaways:
Why stress only exists in the future—and how to break free from it
The difference between having a vision and “future traveling”
A simple mindset shift that will help you enjoy the journey AND the destination
How the most successful people separate from outcomes and stay present
The one thing that will make your relationships, career, and happiness better instantly
Your life is happening right now—don’t miss it. Let’s go!
