In this inspiring episode, I sit down with my good friend Matt for an open conversation about life, growth, and overcoming challenges.

We discuss our love for America, striving to be an “all-star” in life, why hard work earns rewards, building kids’ confidence, the three C’s (Character, Competence, Connection), and choosing standards over rules.

Matt shares his journey through therapy after his father’s suicide, touching on the “stains of life” and why it’s crucial to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you’re struggling with mental health or suicidal thoughts, please ask for help—you’re not alone.

We also cover the power of reading, Schroeder’s holy trinity of books (The Greatest Salesman in the World, The Midnight Library, Family Wealth: Keeping It in the Family), and remembering to simply “enjoy the day.”

A must-listen for anyone chasing excellence, strengthening family, and finding hope.

If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) in the US.

Thank you for listening!
