  • 423: Overcoming Self Doubt

    In this Episode:

    The Achieve Results Now podcast, hosted by Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, addresses the pervasive issue of self-doubt, which they describe as a significant barrier to personal achievement. They emphasize that self-doubt is a common experience, particularly among adults, and can manifest in various forms, from fleeting thoughts to severe anxiety. The hosts argue that rather than attempting to eliminate self-doubt, individuals should focus on understanding its meaning and using it as a catalyst for learning and growth. They advocate for taking action despite self-doubt, establishing routines, and developing habits that build confidence. The discussion highlights the importance of preparation and practice in overcoming self-doubt, suggesting that individuals should rely on their experiences and expertise rather than external opinions.

  • 422: Samurai Loyalty

    In This Episode:

    On this final installment of our special series, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt wrap up ancient warrior wisdom with Samurai Loyalty. Loyalty is a universally desired trait—everyone wants to feel supported and know that someone has their back. But true loyalty operates on a two-way street: if you want it, you have to be willing to give it first. You cannot treat your employees or your inner circle horribly and still demand their unwavering allegiance.

    While most people inherently believe they are loyal friends, parents, or business leaders, true warrior loyalty requires a much higher standard of execution. Mark and Theron pull back the curtain on how real loyalty operates, exposing how a fragile ego or self-centered thinking can secretly erode your most valuable relationships. The hosts map out a 3-step practical blueprint to help you give real support to the people in your life, even when it demands putting your own immediate interests aside.

    1. Be Supportive Even When You Disagree 🛡️

    Disagreement is a natural part of human interaction, but too many people view a difference of opinion as a personal insult.

    • Check Your Ego: If you fly off the handle the second someone questions your play call, it is a massive sign of insecurity. Theron shares a martial arts example: as a 7th Degree Black Belt, if a student questions whether a self-defense technique will work, attacking them or leaning on his rank proves he lacks confidence. A secure teacher explains why the move functions without getting offended.
    • The Attila the Hun Lesson: Drawing from the classic book Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun—which Theron gifted Mark years ago—remember the ultimate maxim: "Disagreement is not necessarily disloyalty." True loyalty doesn't mean being a mindless "yes-man." It means providing objective perspectives to find the absolute best collective solution.
    • Commit Fully After the Decision: Once a solution or an agreement is reached, loyalty means everyone gets completely on board. There is no room for a toxic "I told you so" if the plan faces friction. If you are a parent of adult children, respect their career or life choices even if you envisioned a different path. Unless it is illegal or harmful, tearing down their autonomy is disloyal and will permanently fracture your bond.

    2. Guard Their Back When They Aren't in the Room 🤫

    The golden rule of warrior loyalty is simple: Never say anything behind someone's back that you wouldn't say directly to their face.

    • The Marriage Trap: Mark highlights a dangerous trend where it has become socially popular to casually complain about or mock your spouse when out having drinks with friends. The peers laughing at those jokes are actually watching you act like a jerk. Worse, voicing those complaints continually plants negative seeds in your subconscious, distorting your view of reality and eroding the foundation of your home.
    • Constructive vs. Destructive Talk: There is a distinct line between a leader discussing a personnel issue with a supervisor to find a strategic solution, and a lazy "gossip session" meant to vent. Keep your standards high.
    • Keep Your Walls High: Be hyper-careful about letting domestic issues leak out onto social media or into public spaces. Theron notes this applies heavily to divorced or separated parents as well: never speak negatively about your children's mother or father to them. Grow up, protect your kids' boundaries, and handle adult issues with professionals or trusted peers.

    3. Stay Loyal to Their Goals (Even When It Doesn't Benefit You) 🎓🌱

    The ultimate test of loyalty is backing someone else's success when their advancement offers absolutely zero immediate return to your own pocketbook or schedule.

    • The Dojo Leadership Lesson: Theron routinely employs teenagers as part-time martial arts instructors. He spends years training them, knowing that 99% of them will eventually leave for college or external careers. Instead of acting like a "crab in a bucket" and holding them back to protect the dojo's scheduling needs, true loyalty means pushing them to excel.
    • The Big Picture Compounding Effect: Mark left the dojo years ago to pursue college and his own career trajectory, with Theron's full blessing. Decades later, that foundational support came full circle, resulting in a lifelong partnership and the very podcast you are listening to today.
    • Micro-Support: Supporting your circle's goals can be as simple as ordering a salad at dinner so your friend who is trying to get healthy feels completely comfortable sticking to their nutrition plan. Stop focusing on what you are losing, and start focusing on what they are gaining.

    The Takeaway: Loyalty is defined by your actions in the absence of the other person and your selflessness in the face of their growth. Support the decision, guard their name, and back their vision.

  • 421: Samurai Honor

    In This Episode:

    On this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! Podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt tackle a massive, cornerstone warrior value: Samurai Honor. Honor is often looked at as an old-timey, outdated word that is missing in modern culture, but it simply means the daily act of aligning your actions with your moral principles.

    True honor requires a heavy dose of courage and confidence—two traits that no one possesses at the starting line. Confidence is a muscle built over time by executing small, difficult tasks. Theron notes that while it is completely appropriate to "fake" confidence when trying something new like public speaking, the small steps of action are what eventually turn that performance into real, internal confidence.

    Mark and Theron challenge listeners to check if their actions actually back up their claims. If you claim to value community or raising positive kids, your daily schedule must reflect that standard. The hosts lay out a practical, 3-step modern blueprint to help you live a life of true warrior honor.

    1. Honor Your Commitments (Build Your Tracking System) 🎯

    Your word is your bond. Honorable people do what they say they are going to do, while people-pleasers generate short-term emotional hype but ultimately drop the ball.

    • Kill the Filler Phrases: Stop telling random acquaintances, "We should get together sometime," if you have absolutely no intention of following through.
    • Leverage Technology: In 2026, there is zero excuse for letting a commitment "slip your mind." Back when Theron's mom used original Post-it notes, tracking required manual effort. Today, smartphones allow you to set multiple layered reminders (a day before, two hours before, five minutes before). If you aren't tracking your commitments, you simply don't care enough about them.
    • The Workplace Ripple Effect: If an employee requires four or five reminders to complete a basic task, a leader will stop trusting them with responsibilities. When budget cuts arrive, guess who is the first to go? If you do fail or fall behind, have an immediate, honest conversation to take ownership and correct the course.

    2. Keep Your Principles in Small Everyday Decisions 🏛️

    Drawing from James Clear's Atomic Habits, every single action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become in the future. Honor means keeping your core principles at the forefront of your quiet, daily moments.

    • Principles Over Opinions: Focusing heavily on objective principles instead of loud opinions places you far ahead of the game. It allows you to recognize when someone else is right, even if you personally dislike them.
    • The Black Belt Standard: Theron shares that the dojo has utilized the six principles of a black belt—including modesty, courtesy, and integrity—at the end of every class for decades. He is currently in his 43rd year of teaching martial arts and has watched generations of children grow into honorable adults by keeping these reminders active. Stand up for what is right, protect those in danger, and never sway from your principles just because a room full of people disagrees with you.

    3. Respect Others, Even When You Disagree 🤝

    True honor means treating people with deep respect even when they stand on the polar opposite side of an issue, an argument, or a presidential election.

    • The Combat Sports Metaphor: Watch any professional boxing, MMA, or kickboxing match. Before the clock starts, the fighters tap gloves and bow. They spend years training and respect each other's lifestyle, even while fighting fiercely in the ring. Modern public discourse needs that same warrior boundary.
    • Unravel the Knot: An argument is a tight knot. When two people pull aggressively in opposite directions, the knot only gets tighter and more bunched up. Honorable leaders sit down to unravel the knot together.
    • Value Different Perspectives: As Dale Carnegie famously noted in How to Win Friends and Influence People, you cannot win an argument. Even if you "win" verbally, you lose the relationship. Listen to understand why someone feels the way they do based on their 30 or 40 years of lifestyle and upbringing. You don't have to compromise your values to keep an open mind and learn from someone else's perspective.

    The Takeaway: A friend who honors you will actively defend your name in your absence. Start by holding your own daily habits to an honorable standard, respect the perspectives of those around you, and let your follow-through do the talking.

  • 419: Samurai Propriety

    In This Episode:

    On this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! Podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt continue their deep dive into ancient warrior wisdom with the principle of Samurai Courtesy. In modern terms, courtesy is all about politeness, propriety, professionalism, and appropriateness.

    As an achiever, you likely already know the fundamentals of good manners, but as Theron's early mentor once said: "Successful people don't need to be told what to do, but they do need reminders." These basic principles are written on walls and in books precisely because they are easy to forget when we get caught up in the chaos of day-to-day life.

    Mark and Theron challenge listeners to practice politeness with the people who can do absolutely nothing for you, rather than just using it as a tool to close a sale. They also turn the mirror inward, reminding us that we are often the meanest to the people we love the most at home. True courtesy requires conscious effort, and the hosts share 3 actionable steps to build it into your daily routine.

    1. Make Politeness a Daily Habit 🚪

    Courtesy is a core black belt principle that students say at the end of every martial arts class. It is a mindset that builds relationships and can completely turn a stranger's day around.

    • Be Mindful and Thoughtful: You cannot build positive habits by accident. Deliberately go out into the world with the intention of saying "please" and "thank you" more often.
    • The Door Test: Theron points out a common frustration: while older generations almost always say thank you when you hold a door, younger generations frequently walk through without a word. Instead of shouting an aggressive "you're welcome," use it as a reminder to master your own reactions.
    • Start at Home: Practice courtesy with your spouse and children. Take a beat before you react out of frustration. Look for small, unexpected ways to show courtesy at home, like a child putting dishes away without being asked.

    2. Guard and Build Your Reputation 🚗✨

    Your reputation is incredibly difficult to get back once you lose it, and it must be actively guarded.

    • The Public Eye: How you carry yourself in public matters. Theron notes that while you don't need a fancy car, keeping your vehicle clean inside and out reflects your standard of personal pride.
    • Branding & Sensory Acuity: In business, your reputation is your branding. When customers walk in, they need to feel that professionalism. Utilize sensory acuity—an awareness of your surroundings. If you walk into a silent room, don't be the loudest person. Dress appropriately for the environments you enter. Being an individual doesn't require being a jerk.

    3. Lead by Example to Create a Positive Environment 🌍

    You lighten up a room either by entering it or by leaving it. Your actions trigger a massive ripple effect that can actively make the world a better or worse place to live.

    • No Hypocrites: You cannot effectively tell your kids to be polite if you aren't modeling that behavior yourself. Mark jokes that he even says "thank you" to Siri on his phone just to ensure he never breaks the habit of courtesy.
    • Check Your Entrance: When you walk into a family party or a Starbucks, leave your complaints about traffic at the door. Don't make everyone else uncomfortable with negative energy. Treat people with respect simply because they are human beings, not because of what they can give you.

    The Takeaway: If your kids or team members are acting like jerks, look in the mirror. It's not just about what you tell them, it's about what you show them. Bring propriety to your public settings and kindness to your private ones.

  • 418: Samurai Benevolence
    In This Episode:

    On this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! Podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt continue their deep dive into ancient warrior principles with Samurai Benevolence. It's easy to look at the fierce, defensive side of a warrior, but the true strength of the samurai lay in their balance—the ultimate Yin and Yang of being fierce enough to defend yourself and others, while practicing deep, genuine kindness.

    Benevolence isn't just a big, old-fashioned word; it's the daily choice to be a good person rather than a jerk. Mark and Theron challenge listeners to stop taking the people closest to them for granted, pointing out that we often bring our worst, most complained-filled versions of ourselves home to the people who stick by us the most.

    True success is a practice, and a fresh day means a fresh opportunity to level up your character. The hosts lay out 3 tactical, modern action steps to put true benevolence into motion immediately.

    1. Develop Deep Empathy (Listen to Understand) 🧠

    People constantly confuse empathy with sympathy, but they are entirely different. Sympathy is a mutual pity party—like jumping into the water with a drowning person just to drown right along with them. Empathy is about building a full, conscious understanding of where someone else is coming from so you can actually help them.

    • Seek First to Understand: Drawing from Stephen Covey's 7 Habits, stop listening just to respond. Practice listening simply to listen.

    • The Sales Mistake: New salespeople often jump on the first opportunity to pitch a product without listening (much like generic LinkedIn spam). The best professionals ask questions, listen to the answers, and seek to understand the true need long before they ever offer a solution.

    2. Show Intentional Kindness (Without Keeping Score) 🚪

    Kindness is the literal definition of benevolence—doing things to make someone else's day better with absolutely zero expectation of getting anything in return.

    • Drop the Scorecard: If you are keeping score of who does what in your relationships, you've already lost the game. Hold doors, buy the coffee for the person behind you, and do it simply because it's the right thing to do.

    • The Three High-Fives: Theron shares a tradition used with the dojo's leadership and demo teams. They trade three fast high-fives—"one for you, and two to give away." It plants the immediate responsibility in their minds to go out and positively impact someone else's day.

    • Lend a Hand: True benevolence means volunteering your time or resources. Since the lockdowns, volunteer organizations everywhere are short-handed. Find something you are passionate about and go help. Kindness is free, and it alters the trajectory of someone's day.

    3. Water the Seeds of Greatness with Specific Gratitude 🔍🌱

    Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools a leader or parent can possess. It isn't about manipulation; it's about making people feel genuinely appreciated.

    • Get Specific: Vague praise doesn't stick. Telling a child or an employee they are "great" doesn't help them grow. Telling them, "Thank you for being an exceptional listener today," gives them a standard to live up to. They will actively strive to repeat that behavior because you valued it.

    • The 80/20 Rule of Conversation: If 80% of your daily conversations consist of lazy gossip, complaining, and talking about bad experiences, you are actively becoming a toxic person. Flip the matrix. Ensure 80% of your talk centers on goals, gratitude, lifting people up, and planting positive seeds for the future.

    The Takeaway: Benevolence requires mindfulness. It is the conscious goal of asking yourself how you can be a slightly better human being today than you were yesterday. Pack your day with empathy, free kindness, and specific gratitude.

  • 416: Samurai Integrity

    Episode 416: Samurai Integrity: 3 Tactical Steps to Build Unshakeable Character

    In This Episode:

    We often admire integrity in others, but how often do we audit it within ourselves? On this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! Podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt dive deep into what it truly means to put integrity into action. Drawing from the Seven Virtues of the Warrior and classic black belt principles, Mark and Theron argue that while you can cheat, lie, or steal your way to short-term wins, it will always catch up to your reputation.

    Real, long-term success requires strong character. Surprisingly, integrity slips easiest in the smallest, most quiet ways. These tiny gaps stack up over time, fracturing our relationship with others and—most importantly—with ourselves.

    The hosts map out a practical, 3-step tactical framework to eliminate those gaps, tighten your standards, and live a life aligned with your highest values.

    1. Develop a Daily Accountability Practice 📋

    We track our water intake, our daily workout mileage, and our business sales numbers—but we rarely track our character. Mark and Theron emphasize the power of "bookending your day" with a deliberate integrity audit. At the end of every day, ask yourself two critical questions:

    • Did my actions align with my core values today?
    • Where did I fall short, and how can I do better tomorrow?

    Bringing conscious awareness to your behavior instantly triggers the desire to improve. Whether you write it down or review it mentally, tracking your alignment sets you up for a successful tomorrow.

    2. Practice "Micro-Integrity" 🔍

    We tend to view integrity through the lens of massive life events, but character is actually forged in the micro-decisions. Micro-integrity is about keeping the tiny promises you make to yourself and others.

    • To Yourself: Doing all 10 reps of a workout set instead of cutting it off at 8 because "nobody will know." You will know.
    • To Others: Showing up exactly when you said you would, or keeping the simple promises you made to your spouse or children.

    At the end of the day, your word is all you have. Be hyper-mindful of the commitments you make, and remember that it is entirely okay to just say "no" to a request rather than making a promise you can't or won't keep.

    3. Surround Yourself with People of Integrity 👥

    As the old saying goes, you are the average of the people you spend the most time with. If you lead a team, raise children, or build a business network, you must surround yourself with people who stand by their word. If you partner with people who use "fast-talking" or dishonesty to get deals done with others, don't fool yourself into thinking they won't eventually do the same to you.

    Start by holding yourself to a black-belt standard of honesty. By projecting true integrity, you will naturally repel toxic behavior and attract a high-value support system that keeps you sharp.

    The Takeaway: You can lose your money, your resources, or your property—but you should never lose your word. Small decisions lead to big habits. Choose to protect your character daily.

    📊 Get Your Action Plan:

    1. Audit your day before your head hits the pillow.
    2. Honor the micro-promises you make today, especially the ones made to yourself.
    3. Audit your circle and make sure you aren't the weak link in your environment.

  • 415: The 3 Rs to Further Your Goals

    In this Episode:

    The Achieve Results Now podcast, hosted by Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, emphasizes the importance of continuous achievement beyond initial successes. The hosts discuss how many people tend to stop striving for goals after achieving a milestone, which can lead to stagnation. They advocate for recognizing and celebrating small wins as essential steps toward larger goals.
