When most people think of "intimacy" it's usually related to physical affection, sex, or romance. However, intimacy impacts a lot more than that—it's also crucial to effective parenting, entrepreneurship, and our relationships with ourselves.

Few understand this better than intimacy expert Allana Pratt. She has served as a Guest Expert on The Jenny McCarthy Show, The Huffington Post, People, Forbes, CBS, TLC and FOX. She's also the author of (4) books, the host of the Intimate Conversations podcast, and a go-to authority with over 4 million viewers on YouTube, where she helps her followers create healthy, thriving relationships with themselves first in order to naturally attract their ideal match.

Jon Berghoff and I met Allana at a couples' retreat, where she led several powerful experiences. I saw her enable people (including me and my wife) to quickly increase our self-awareness and discover deep and important things about ourselves, which is exactly what the Best Year Ever [Blueprint] live experience is all about where Allana will be one of our speakers this year.

Today, Allana talks with Jon Berghoff about the exercises she'll be leading at our BYEB event in San Diego this December. You'll learn how to rediscover (and accept) your authentic self, see your blind spots, and make huge strides on your journey to becoming a compassionate badass.

Jeremy "Brotha James" Reisig isn't just one of my favorite people. He is a world-class musician unlike any other, making music to help elevate your consciousness, enhance your mindset, and improve your life. There are very few "conscious" musicians, and Brotha James was the first I'd ever heard.

Jeremy is also a world-class facilitator. He's the Chief Energy Officer of Fambundance, where he works to elevate the consciousness of the world by elevating the consciousness of the family. He focuses on helping kids aged 8-18 with personal transformation, emotional management, aligning values, and more.

I've had Jeremy as our musician in residence at every Best Year Ever [Blueprint] LIVE event I've ever held, and we've even performed the Miracle Morning Song together onstage. However, this year, Jeremy will be leading a parallel event alongside ours for your children, and we couldn't be more excited for your whole family to attend.

Today, Jeremy joins the podcast to talk about the importance of staying curious, how to build a business in alignment with your values and the life you want to live, and what we'll be doing together at this year's event.

If you practice The Miracle Morning (and specifically the S.A.V.E.R.S.), I think you're going to love today's *special* episode of the Achieve Your Goals podcast!

Today, we're doing something a little different. Instead of our usual podcast format—where our guests talk about how they achieved their goals and how to get more done—I'm giving the floor over to my good friend and Chief Miracle Worker, Chip Franks, for a training and tutorial to help you get the most out of your Miracle Morning "Scribing" (aka "Journaling") practice.

Among many things, Chip has one of the most effective Scribing practice I've ever seen. Though he goes through almost 250 pages in his journal every month, he rarely spends more than about 15 minutes a day scribing. He believes that it is the most important personal-development practice that exists and a powerful way to turn ideas into action.

Chip also journals to deal with anxiety and overwhelm, have a conversation with himself, and become an objective third-party with himself when he needs it the most.

Today, Chip joins the podcast to share 10 techniques to optimize your Scribing practice. I'd love to see you commit to giving the ones that make sense for you a try - and see how scribing can change your life for the better.

I've got some sad news, which you may have already heard. One of the most inspirational people I've ever met, Sean Stephenson – known around the world as the "3 Foot Giant" – passed away last week, after a wheelchair accident.

Sean dedicated his life to helping people, and I was blessed to know him as a friend and mentor. Today it is my privilege to share some of his inspiration with you by giving you an opportunity to listen to the last interview that he and I did together.

Because of a rare bone disorder, Sean was predicted not to survive at birth. In fact, he'd suffered over 200 fractures by the time he turned 18.

However, Sean has survived, thrived, and lived a life that has inspired millions around the world. He's appeared on Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has online videos with 10+ million views, been the subject of a TV series for A&E called 3 Foot Giant, and published a book titled Get Off Your But: How to End Self-Sabotage.

So, what is the purpose of life? Today, I want to help you answer that question by asking you to consider a couple of others:

What if the purpose of life isn't about achieving or attaining anything? What if you already have the most important thing you've been searching for?

I want to help you to discover the true purpose of your life and realize that you may already have what you've been searching for, for your entire life.

According to legend, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés issued a rather interesting order to his men as they began their conquest of the Aztec empire in 1519. The order was simple: Burn the boats. He wanted his men to realize that they had no opportunity to retreat, so they had to give this fight everything they had. Failure was no longer an option and winning this battle just became that much more important. There is much debate about the legitimacy of this story, both in reference to the true intentions of Cortés and whether the actual burning took place at all. However, regardless of the accuracy in this particular case, this phrase "Burn your boats" has become popular advice in the context of business and success. In today's episode, my friend and best-selling author, Tim Grahl, and I discuss why burning your boats may be the wrong strategy and one you want to avoid, and then we share what we believe will be a much better approach for your to take your success to the next level and beyond.

Do you know what's standing in the way of creating and experiencing everything you want for your life? The answer might surprise you.

Our cavemen and cavewomen ancestors were biologically programmed to do two things: survive and rest. Our agenda back then was simple: hunt and gather food so that we could sustain life, find shelter, and rest until we needed more food to eat or a new shelter to rest under. We were NOT, however, designed to achieve, to get ahead, or to be successful.

So, to this day human beings unconsciously abide by our inborn human nature, and it prevents us from creating and experiencing what we deeply want to create and experience in our lives.

On today's podcast, I share raw, unfiltered thoughts and powerful, life-changing information that can help you transcend your innate human nature (that is holding you back). You're also going to learn about how society conditions us to want things that don't make us happy, why you're always going to be drawn toward taking the path of least resistance, and how to overcome the laws of the universe to do what we need in order to create everything you want and deserve.
