They say that if you want to change your results, then start by changing your beliefs. If you don’t like what you’re getting in life; If you want to achieve something, but you’re stuck. If you want different results, better results, new results… Then the place to begin is with what you believe. It starts […]

034: Where a powerful mindset can take you (with Zach Even-Esh)

October 06, 2014 11:00 - 35.4 MB

If you want to be a complete success, then you’ve got to be a complete individual. If you climb the corporate ladder but sacrifice your marriage along the way, then I argue you are not a success. If you’re the fittest athlete at the gym but your kids never get to see you, then you […]

033: Dealing with business failure and how to prevent it (with Barrett Brooks)

September 09, 2014 11:00 - 28.4 MB

If you’ve chosen to pursue an entrepreneurial lifestyle then one thing is certain: failure. Not every project you pour yourself into is going to succeed.

032: Why it’s okay to suck at your calling

August 22, 2014 10:00 - 16.5 MB

Have you ever seen someone work at their craft and awesomeness just pours out of them? It’s fun to watch, right? Now what if the craft they were amazing at was the exact thing you wish you could be doing? That feels a little different doesn’t it. Instead of being in awe of the artist, […]

August 12, 2014 10:00 - 37 MB

I have too many responsibilities to chase my dream. I have to put food on the table. I have to keep the lights. My only real option is to just keep going on the path that I’m on (even if I don’t love it). Have you ever thought something like that? I know I have. […]

028: The Power of Story – how to craft an amazing adventure for yourself

August 01, 2014 10:00 - 17.5 MB

It’s funny how the things we most crave are the things that hold us back the most. It’s like that with almost everything if you think about it. We crave chocolate, but want to lose weight. We want to be a sports star, but prefer to sit on the couch. And we want to live […]

July 25, 2014 10:00 - 22.4 MB

You know when you’re walking down the street to lunch and BAM, there’s that insight you’ve been hoping for. Isn’t that an awesome moment of revaluation?

024: The real reason your goals didn’t work

July 18, 2014 10:00 - 21.4 MB

People have long said that goals are the most basic building block for success. Without goals you’re just a ship without a rudder. But there’s more to the story, and if you just jump in and start setting goals you’re going to set yourself up for disappointment. I’ve done this myself, it’s how I know […]

023: Bringing Your Vision To Life (with James Woosley)

July 11, 2014 11:00 - 21 minutes - 20.8 MB

Successful people set goals, you know that already. But if you want to be successful and happy, then you’d better get the foundation right.

020: How to build relationships that build your success (with John Corcoran)

July 09, 2014 11:00 - 5 MB

Richard Branson is widely known for his bold stunts. He’s attempted to break world records circumnavigating the Earth in a balloon, crossing the English Channel, and crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

July 04, 2014 11:00 - 12 minutes - 11.9 MB

You know the deal, if you want to build something amazing you’re going to have to HUSTLE, and probably 24/7. Without hustle you’re just regular. Without hustle you’ll never beat the other guy.

016: Where taking permission can take you (with Andy Traub)

June 30, 2014 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MB

Most people aren’t natural born high performers. They start out just like us. They go to the same schools, learn the same things, and probably even start a traditional career.

June 27, 2014 11:00 - 24.8 MB

At the most fundamental level all successes and failures boil down to this: your belief system. Really. Every decision that you make, every action that you take, is all fueled by your beliefs.

013: Pound the Rock – lessons from a seven figure startup (with Bernie Yoo)

June 23, 2014 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MB

Starting something new is hard. Starting something new that other people are excited about too is even harder! As they say, most businesses don’t fail because they couldn’t do what they set out to do. Most businesses fail because they create something that nobody wanted in the first place. That’s exactly what Bernie did the […]

009: Five keys to shipping a big, scary, world changing project

June 13, 2014 11:00 - 26 minutes - 25 MB

If you don’t ship, then it doesn’t matter. It’s as simple as that. A great idea never executed is worthless. A half finished project doesn’t impact the world. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. In fact, the bigger the project, the more audacious the idea, or the higher the call you’re answering, then the harder […]

008: Taking risks and shipping from the trenches (with Tom Morkes)

June 11, 2014 11:00 - 31 minutes - 29.8 MB

The only real limitations are those in your own mind. You’ve probably heard that somewhere before. In fact, it’s somewhat cliche it’s so common. But I’m guilty of suffering from it myself. One thing I’ve always let hold me back in the past is lack of experience. I looked at guys who had started great […]

June 09, 2014 11:00 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MB

June 06, 2014 11:00 - 21 minutes - 20.4 MB

May 29, 2014 01:47 - 9 minutes - 9.73 MB

I’m sure you’ve heard successful people talk about how you have to face your fears if you want to do anything worthwhile. It’s true, but it’s not easy.
