Most people show up for the benefits, not the bond. As you grow, build influence, or create opportunities, you’ll notice something: attendance does not equal allegiance.

This episode breaks down one of the hardest lessons I had to learn in business and in life. Three out of five people around you are there for what you can do for them. Not who you are. Not what you stand for. And definitely not the storms you’ll face.

If you want to protect your energy, your vision, and your future, you need to learn how to separate the people who stand with you from the people who stand near you.

Eagles don’t fly with pigeons.

In this episode of the Morning Dig, I break down a truth most people never think about: the average person only reads a few books a year. Even in school, most kids search for answers but skip the words in between. We say we need more knowledge before we start, but the truth is that reading can’t replace real life experience.

I share how I’ve made hundreds of thousands of dollars in mistakes and how those mistakes became stepping stones that paid me back later. You learn more by taking the first step, falling, adjusting, and moving forward than you ever will from waiting until you “know enough.” Books are powerful, but they can’t protect you from failure or growth.

If you’ve been holding back because you don’t feel ready, this episode will push you to take action today.

Every choice you make builds your legacy. The question is: what version of yourself are you creating?

When you are born, you look like your parents, but when you die, you look like the sum of every choice you have ever made. In this episode, I break down how our daily decisions, from how we eat, think, and dress to the labels we accept, shape who we become over time.

In this episode, I talk about one of the most important skills in business: saying no.

Every entrepreneur starts by saying yes to everything. But if you keep doing that, you’ll lose control of your time, your energy, and your direction.

This is how you take it back.

Real leadership doesn’t start in the office. It starts at home.

If you want to raise strong, respectful, and confident kids, start by showing them what that looks like. They don’t learn from what you say. They learn from what you do.

This one’s not about being perfect; it’s about being present, being consistent, and being the kind of leader your family deserves.

Every leader eventually comes to a crossroads where they have to decide between developing someone already on the team or bringing in a new face. There is no one-size-fits-all answer.

In this episode, I share what I have learned about both options and how I have wrestled with this decision in my own businesses. It is not a checklist or a formula, it is real-world perspective that will help you think differently the next time you are in this situation.

Sometimes the world will question everything you’re doing, but your kid sees it all.

In this episode, I talk about one of those moments that stopped me in my tracks. My son looked at me and said, “Dad, you’re a legend.” He wasn’t trying to flatter me or say the right thing. He just said it because he meant it.

It reminded me that kids have zero filter. They see your effort, your consistency, and your heart. They don’t care about the metrics, the titles, or the money. They care about who you are when nobody’s looking.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or doubted yourself as a parent or a leader, this one’s for you. It’s about showing up every day and knowing someone small is always watching and learning from you.

The lie is that discipline matters more than motivation. That idea has been preached to teams, kids, and employees for years. The truth is that discipline alone will not push anyone beyond average. Motivation is what makes people step up and bring their best. In this episode I dig into why leaders need to stop selling discipline and start finding what drives their people.
