The Real Secret Behind Success That Nobody Talks About

What if success wasn’t about talent, luck, or even hard work—but about who you become in the process? In this mashup, I bring together three powerhouse voices—Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins, Maria Shriver, and Percy “Master P” Miller—to reveal the truth about success that most people overlook. These aren’t theories. These are battle-tested lessons born from pain, reinvention, and the courage to carve your own lane when the world tells you it’s impossible.

Jeezy takes us inside the moment he left the streets behind to bet it all on music—and how life’s hardest hits, from losing his voice to battling Bell’s palsy, forced him to confront who he really was. His story is a raw reminder that success isn’t about avoiding setbacks, but about finding strength and faith in the middle of them.

Maria Shriver opens up about growing up in a legendary family where confidence wasn’t inherited—it had to be earned . She shares the lessons she’s learned about self-worth, identity, and how breaking free from old beliefs can open the door to your true calling . Her honesty is a masterclass in building a life not defined by other people’s expectations, but by your own truth.

And then there’s Master P—an icon who turned “No Limit” from a mindset into a movement. From selling music out of his trunk to building generational wealth, he breaks down why consistency beats talent, why faith without work is dead, and why not all money is good money . His wisdom on integrity, entrepreneurship, and refusing to accept “headache money” will challenge you to raise your standards in life and business .

Every story in this episode points back to one truth: Success isn’t what you think. It’s not a destination, a bank account, or a title. It’s about transformation—becoming your “other self” on the other side of adversity . And that’s a secret most people will never understand.

Key Takeaways:

Why the hardest seasons of your life are preparing you for your “other self.”

How Jeezy rebuilt his life by walking away from the streets and facing failure head-on.

Maria Shriver’s powerful perspective on earning self-confidence and breaking free from limiting beliefs.

Master P’s blueprint for entrepreneurship: consistency, faith, and turning down “headache money.”

Why success is less about what you get and more about who you become.

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to play more than once, because the wisdom in it doesn’t just inspire—it transforms.

Eliminate Distractions and Pay the Price to Win

What’s stealing your focus right now? Is it politics, sports, gossip, or endless scrolling on your phone? Most of us are willing participants in our own distractions—and those distractions are quietly robbing us of the life we’re capable of living. In this episode, I’m getting real about what it takes to win: the ability to cut through the noise, become obsessively focused, and embrace the price you’ll have to pay along the way.

I’ll walk you through why true obsession feels different—it pulls you away from everything else in your life because it consumes your thoughts, your energy, and your actions. If you’re not being distracted by your obsession, then you’re not obsessed enough. I share stories from my own life, including how I went from knowing nothing about my dad’s cancer diagnosis to becoming nearly an expert through sheer immersion. That same kind of laser focus is available to you—and it can transform any area of your life.

But focus alone isn’t enough. You’ve got to accept the suffering and sacrifice that come with chasing something great. Too often, people treat setbacks and discomfort as signs they’re on the wrong path. I’ll show you why it’s actually the opposite—why suffering is proof you’re growing, and why sacrifice is a down payment on your dream. The real danger isn’t paying the price; it’s paying the bigger price of regret when you never go after it at all.

In this conversation, I give you practical tools to stop negotiating the price in your head and start seeing your dream as worth it. Because when you stop fixating on the cost and start focusing on the worth, everything changes. Your energy shifts. Your strategy sharpens. And your story becomes one worth living.

Key Takeaways:

Why distractions are the greatest enemy to your dreams

The difference between being interested and being obsessed

How to reframe suffering and sacrifice as signs of progress

Why negotiating the “cost” of your dream keeps you stuck

The mindset shift from cost to worth that frees you to execute

Distractions steal your destiny. Obsession delivers it. It’s time to choose focus, pay the price, and claim the life you were born to live. Max out.

It Takes Leaders with Vision to Help People with Dreams

Have you ever stopped to remember that every single person you meet has a dream? Some of those dreams are massive—building companies, creating wealth, impacting millions of people. And some are simple but just as powerful—a dream for peace, joy, or to be truly happy again. In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most important truths I’ve ever learned: it takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams.

I share how your love—love for your family, your spouse, your children, your team—has to be greater than your fear, your adversity, or your obstacles. Because if you’re not attaching your vision to something bigger than yourself, it’s too easy to quit. I walk you through the difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational—and why only one of these creates lasting transformation.

We talk about the role of vision in leadership, not just in business, but in your home and in your own life. Whether you’re leading a company, raising a family, or leading yourself, your job is to sell the dream—again and again—until everyone around you can see what you see. And here’s the key: it can’t just be words. You have to validate that vision with massive action so others know it’s real.

I share how leaders from Jesus to Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs created movements because they didn’t just speak dreams, they embodied them. And I give you a roadmap for becoming that kind of leader—the kind whose love and vision make them unstoppable. Because the truth is, your dream isn’t just about you. It’s about the people whose lives you’re meant to change when you finally step into your calling.

Key Takeaways:

Why every person you meet carries a dream in their heart

The difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational

How to attach your love to your vision so obstacles can’t stop you

The importance of repeatedly “selling the dream” in your family, business, and life

Why your actions must validate your vision if you want to inspire others

Your dream is waiting—and so are the people counting on you to lead them. Let’s rise together. Max out.

How Do You Keep Going When Life Hits You Twice?

Today’s guest, Austin Hatch, is a living, breathing miracle—and one of the most inspiring men I’ve ever had the privilege to sit across from. Austin survived not one, but two plane crashes. The first claimed the lives of his mother and siblings. The second, just eight years later, took his father and stepmother and left Austin in a coma, fighting for his life. Yet somehow, against all odds, he not only survived—he found a way to thrive.

In this conversation, Austin and I go deep into what it takes to get back up when life knocks you down harder than you ever thought possible. He shares how he rebuilt his body, his faith, and his identity after losing almost everything—and why gratitude, not bitterness, became his anchor. Austin’s story is not about avoiding pain; it’s about choosing purpose through it, believing that God can still write a story of victory even when tragedy has stolen so much.

We talk about what it means to carry grief without letting it define you, to forgive life for what it’s taken, and to find meaning in the middle of unimaginable suffering. Austin’s journey to eventually fulfill his dream of playing basketball for the University of Michigan is a testament to what happens when resilience meets faith.

This episode is about more than survival—it’s about transformation. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can rise again after devastation, Austin’s story is living proof that you can.

Key Takeaways:

How Austin survived two plane crashes and found the will to rebuild his life

Why gratitude—not bitterness—became his greatest weapon against despair

The role faith plays in turning unimaginable tragedy into testimony

What it means to carry grief without being defined by it

How to keep moving toward your dreams even when everything says it’s over

Lean in to this one. Austin’s story will not only move you—it will change the way you see your own challenges.

The Unstoppable Power of Resilience: How to Rise Above Every Obstacle

What does it really take to keep moving forward when life feels impossible? In this mashup episode, I bring you the raw, unfiltered stories of Nick Vujicic, Colin O’Brady, Danny Lee Clark, and James Lawrence—four individuals who have redefined what it means to push past pain, doubt, and impossibility. These are men who didn’t just talk about perseverance—they lived it, they bled for it, and they came out the other side with lessons that will inspire you to never back down.

Nick Vujicic, born without arms or legs, shares how faith, gratitude, and service transformed his life from despair to impacting millions across the globe. Colin O’Brady takes us inside the mindset that allowed him to cross Antarctica solo, proving that the limits we face are often the ones we place on ourselves. Danny Lee Clark—best known as “Nitro” from American Gladiators—opens up about his battles both in the arena and in life, showing how purpose and passion can keep you fighting long after most would quit. And James Lawrence, the “Iron Cowboy,” reveals what it took to complete 100 triathlons in 100 consecutive days, teaching us all the power of adaptation, grit, and unshakable belief in what’s possible.

Each of these stories is a reminder that adversity doesn’t disqualify you—it equips you. These men show us that struggle isn’t a sign of weakness, but the very soil where strength, character, and resilience are grown. They prove that pain can become purpose, and setbacks can become the setup for the greatest comeback of your life.

I want you to walk away from this episode with the conviction that no matter where you are, no matter what you’re facing, you already have what it takes to rise. It’s not about avoiding obstacles—it’s about facing them head-on, learning, adapting, and choosing to keep going when everything in you wants to stop.

Key Takeaways:

Nick Vujicic on choosing gratitude and faith over despair, even when life feels impossible

Colin O’Brady’s mental strategies for pushing through isolation, fear, and physical limits

Raise Your Identity, Raise Your Life

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you work, life somehow snaps you back to the same level—like there’s an invisible ceiling holding you down? That ceiling is your identity. In this episode, I break down why your identity is the thermostat of your life—the unseen regulator that determines how much success, love, happiness, and fulfillment you’ll allow yourself to experience.

I’ll walk you through what I call the “holy trilogy” of raising your identity: faith, intention, and association. These three elements are the most powerful levers you can pull if you want to raise the temperature of your life and start living at a higher level. I share how my faith has been the foundation that allows me to walk with confidence, why giving yourself credit for your intentions can immediately increase your self-worth, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can elevate you beyond what you ever thought possible.

This conversation isn’t just about theory—it’s about practical action. I’ll show you how to evaluate the people you spend the most time with, why emotional maturity is the hidden trait you need to look for, and how to separate yourself from associations that lower your identity. More importantly, you’ll learn how to step into the character you were born to play—the version of you that God created to do something meaningful and great in this world.

You weren’t put here to live small. You were born to contribute, to grow, and to impact others in ways both big and small. And the key to unlocking that life isn’t out there somewhere—it’s already inside you, waiting to be raised.

Key Takeaways:

Why your identity is the thermostat of your life—and how it regulates your success and happiness

The “holy trilogy” that will instantly raise your identity: faith, intention, and association

How to give yourself credit for your intentions, not just your results

Why emotional maturity is the hidden factor in choosing the right people to be around

Practical steps to evaluate your associations and shift your life to a higher level

It’s time to raise the temperature of your identity and step into the life you were designed to live. Max out.

What if the key to healing isn’t just physical—but spiritual, emotional, and mental too?

In this powerful conversation with my friend Dr. Josh Axe, we dive into what true health really means—and it goes way beyond diet and exercise. Josh has helped millions of people worldwide reclaim their health, but what I love most about him is that he’s not afraid to connect the dots between your body, your mind, and your faith. We talk about how the struggles you face in your health often mirror the struggles in your spirit and why healing starts from the inside out.

Josh opens up about his own journey—the heartbreak of watching his mom battle illness, the setbacks he faced building his career, and the doubts he had to fight through to stay on his calling. What came out of those seasons wasn’t just knowledge—it was wisdom. And today, he’s sharing that wisdom with us in a way that will completely change how you think about your own health.

We also talk about why so many people chase quick fixes and end up more broken than before. Josh and I break down how to build rhythms in your life that actually last—from the food you eat, to the way you handle stress, to the faith practices that keep you anchored. This is about creating alignment in every part of who you are so you can operate at your best.

If you’ve been frustrated with your health, if you’ve been carrying stress or pain that feels heavier than it should, or if you’ve been asking God for healing but not sure where to start—this conversation is going to give you clarity, hope, and practical steps forward.

Key Takeaways:

Why true healing requires more than just treating symptoms

The connection between faith, mindset, and physical health

Josh’s personal story of loss, resilience, and calling

How to break free from the cycle of quick fixes and create lasting change

The daily habits that will fuel your body, mind, and spirit

This isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better. Lean in, because this one can shift the way you see health forever.
