EPISODE DESCRIPTION: 

You're working all day. Checking boxes. Feeling productive. And yet you're not any closer to your goals. There's a name for what you're doing: Glorified Procrastination: action that feels responsible but avoids the uncomfortable work that actually yields results. 

In this episode, Brad breaks down why your brain reroutes you toward "safe work," the difference between achievement theater and results-creating behavior, and why the breakthrough you're looking for is hiding in the thing you're avoiding most. If you're tired of being busy without being effective, this episode will show you exactly what needs to change.

KEY INSIGHTS: 

• Most people mistake movement for progress. They're busy all day doing things that feel productive but produce zero results.
• Glorified procrastination is action that feels responsible but avoids discomfort, rejection, or risk.
• Your brain isn't self-sabotaging. It's self-preserving. When a goal requires discomfort, your brain reroutes you toward safe work.
• Achievement theater looks impressive but produces no results. Cleaning your desk, perfecting your logo, posting on social... these feel productive but don't necessarily directly impact outcomes.
• Results-creating behavior always involves discomfort, exposure, rejection, or identity growth.
• The fundamental question: Does this action have the capacity to directly produce the result I want? If not, you're wasting your time.
• Business example: Businesses don't fail because of bad branding. They fail because nobody buys. If you want revenue, the only behavior that matters is selling.
• Wealth example: The percentage of income invested matters more than income level. If you won't invest at a smaller income, you'll never build the muscle to invest more later.
• The breakthrough you're looking for is hiding inside the thing you're avoiding most.
• Fear is a guidepost, not something to avoid. There is no courage without fear.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Right now, everyone's setting goals. Big dreams. Fresh starts. All the motivation. But here's the hard truth: 99% of them will quit by February. Not because they don't want it, but because they're trying to change behaviors without changing identity. 

In this episode, Brad breaks down why "Have-Do-Be" and "Do-Have-Be" psychology will always fail, how to reverse engineer from your goals to the identity that makes results inevitable, and why your old wiring will always override your intention. If you want 2026 to actually be different, this episode shows you exactly what actually needs to change.

 KEY INSIGHTS

• January is the greatest study of identity gaps you'll see all year. People try to change behaviors without changing beliefs (and that's why 99% quit by February).
• You will not rise to the level of your goals. You will fall to the level of your identity. Always. 
• The Worried Perfectionist: "Have → Do → Be" gives all your power to circumstances.
• The Stressed Achiever: "Do → Have → Be" creates burnout and attachment to outcomes.
• High performers operate from "Be → Do → Have." They decide who they need to be NOW and rewire their mind for that identity.
• The strongest force in human psychology is the need to stay consistent with who you think you are.
• Your old wiring will always override your intention. You can't out-think a nervous system trained for decades.
• Success caps at the level of how your mind is wired.

EPISODE OVERVIEW

This week feels different from any other week of the year. The rush is over, but nothing new has begun yet. You're restless but unmotivated. Reflective but unclear. Pressured to plan, but internally foggy.

And if you feel off right now, you're just in a transition.

But here's what most people don't understand: This week matters more than January 1st. What you do here (how you close the year, how you orient yourself, how you prepare internally) determines how January actually goes.

Brad breaks down why most New Year goals are set the wrong way, why resolutions die by February (and it's not willpower), and the 5 critical steps that will help you finally create your breakthrough in 2026.

EPISODE OVERVIEW

The holidays don't create stress... they reveal how you relate to your nervous system, your boundaries, and your expectations.

If you've ever walked into a family gathering feeling regulated and capable, only to find yourself reactive, people-pleasing, and exhausted within minutes, this episode is for you.

Brad breaks down why familiar environments activate old patterns, the two types of holiday stress (and which one is actually causing your suffering), and how to stay connected to yourself, no matter who you're with.

EPISODE OVERVIEW: 

You know what to do. You have the course, the plan, the information. So why is it 2 PM and you're on the couch watching Friends reruns instead of building your dreams? In this episode, Brad breaks down the real reason you can't stay consistent (and it's not discipline, morning routines, or wanting it bad enough). 

Discover the 4 lies keeping you stuck in the start-stop cycle and learn why your emotional state (not your willpower) is the key to taking action automatically.

KEY TOPICS: 

• The 2 PM couch scenario—knowing what to do but not being able to do it
• The 4 lies we've been sold about success and consistency
• Why perfectionistic morning routines actually signal a scarcity mindset
• The shame spiral: try harder → fail → beat yourself up → repeat
• Why willpower is a finite battery that depletes every time you force action
• Brad's personal story: microwave nachos, Friends reruns, and the pattern he discovered
• How your brain learns to associate success with pain (and choose Netflix instead)
• The shift that helped Brad pay off $92K in debt and build multi-7 figures

Your best ideas, biggest breakthroughs, and most important decisions will not happen at your desk.

In this episode, Brad reveals why most entrepreneurs are stuck on the hamster wheel, mistaking movement for achievement, and how strategic environments manufacture breakthroughs instead of waiting for them to happen accidentally.

This is "The Fire Pit Effect": the power of intentionally creating environments designed for strategic thinking and transformation. It's the reason Brad went from six to seven figures in 12 months. And it's the tool high performers use to scale without burning out.

If you've been grinding at your desk wondering why you can't break through to the next level, this episode will shake you awake.

Key Topics Covered: 

• Why your desk is actively killing your best ideas (and where breakthroughs actually happen)
• The neuroscience behind why your brain needs different environments for different types of work
• The 3 types of strategic environments every entrepreneur needs (and why most only use one)
• What Brad calls "The Fire Pit Effect" and why unstructured moments create the biggest breakthroughs
• How to build strategic time into your calendar: monthly, quarterly, and annually
• Why 3 days of focused strategic work beats 3 months of scattered effort at your desk
• The real ROI of immersive experiences (hint: it's not the information... it's something else entirely)

This episode is going to ruffle some feathers... but it needs to be said.

If you're doing six figures in your business right now, getting to seven figures is way easier than getting to six figures was. And if you're not at six figures yet, you need to hear this: You're currently in the hardest part of your business.

I'll break down why most six-figure entrepreneurs think seven figures means 10x the work (and why that's the lie keeping them stuck), the exact identity shift that took him from six to seven figures in 12 months, and the strategic moves that make scaling easier than grinding.

This isn't just mindset fluff. This is business psychology, strategic leverage, and the CEO identity shift that changes everything.

In this episode, you'll discover: 

• Why it took me 6 years to hit six figures, but only 12 months to hit seven
• The one identity shift that separates technicians from CEOs (and why most six-figure entrepreneurs never make it)
• How small tweaks to 3 numbers can over-double your revenue without adding more clients
• The 5 strategic moves that scale you to seven figures without working more hours
• Why getting to six figures was the hardest part (and what that means for you)

Most people practice gratitude all wrong, and it's keeping them stuck in mediocrity.

In this episode, Brad reveals why your gratitude practice is actually reinforcing your subconscious identity. What you appreciate (or don't appreciate) is a mirror showing you who you believe you are at your core.

Most gratitude is surface-level, performative, and survival-based. But real gratitude? It's identity work. It's rewiring your mind for success.

By the end of this episode, you'll look at gratitude completely differently (and you might realize you've been grateful for the wrong things that are actually preventing abundance).

Key Topics Covered: 

• Why most gratitude practices reinforce your current identity instead of expanding it
• The difference between surface-level gratitude and expansion gratitude
• How gratitude language reveals your belief system

The Three Levels of Gratitude

1. Survival Gratitude - "I'm grateful I didn't get fired" / "I'm grateful we could pay for groceries"
2. Comfort Gratitude - "I'm grateful for my stable job" / "I'm grateful for my home"
3. Expansion Gratitude - "I'm grateful I'm becoming someone who creates massive impact"

The Science of Gratitude

• HeartMath Institute study: How gratitude syncs your heart and brain
• How your reticular activating system (RAS) responds to expansion gratitude
• Why 5 minutes of gratitude practice doesn't work if you spend 23 hours and 55 minutes stressed

Identity Shifting Through Gratitude

• What you appreciate is what you believe you're worthy of having
• How scarcity gratitude disguises itself as appreciation
• The difference between entitlement and ambition in gratitude practice

Future-Self Gratitude Practice

• How to practice gratitude for who you're BECOMING
• Why this rewires your subconscious identity
• How to turn Thanksgiving into an identity-shifting practice

Breakthrough Moments: 

• "What you appreciate is what you believe you're worthy of having."
• "If you're only grateful for basic stability, you've subconsciously decided that stability is your ceiling."
• "Most gratitude is survival-focused or comfort-based, not expansion."
• "Your gratitude language will literally show your belief system."
• "Expansion gratitude isn't about wanting more stuff... it's about becoming someone who creates more."

Last Call For Tomorrow’s Free Training: Heal The Trauma That’s Holding You Back From Success And Happiness. Click Here to Register Now!

If you missed last week's episode, we introduced you to Dr. Don Wood and revealed how unresolved trauma is the hidden root cause of anxiety, depression, anger, autoimmune issues, ADHD, addiction, and so much more.

This week, we're going deeper into how trauma impacts your performance, your parenting, your success, and your business.

And this Tuesday at 10 AM Central, Dr. Don and I are hosting a FREE live training where we're going to show you the steps to heal the trauma that's been holding you back.

I don't recommend things I haven't used myself. This work changed my life. It changed my wife Janiece's life. And it's changed every single person I've sent Dr. Don's way.

Episode Description:

Welcome to Part 2 of our groundbreaking conversation with Dr. Don Wood, where we dive deep into how unresolved trauma sabotages your performance, your parenting, and your ability to reach the next level in every area of life.

In this episode, you'll discover why your conscious mind knows what to do, but your subconscious mind keeps pulling you back into old patterns. Dr. Wood reveals the shocking truth: your subconscious has no concept of time. 

When something triggers an old trauma, your nervous system responds as if the threat is happening right now, activating fight-or-flight and shutting down your ability to perform, connect, and heal.

Think about it. Why would your brain focus on healing or maintenance if it thinks it’s running from a bear? 

This episode answers the question: What becomes possible when your nervous system is no longer running on a decades-old threat response? The answer will change the game for you.

If you've been hitting invisible ceilings, getting in your way right when things are going well, or struggling to be present despite knowing better, this episode reveals why, and what you can actually do about it.

Key Takeaways: 

• Your subconscious mind operates in the present tense only. It has no concept of "10 years ago," which is why triggers activate your nervous system as if the original trauma is happening right now.
• The duck analogy that changes how you view your brain. Dr. Wood explains why animals don't hold onto trauma (they live in the present) while humans replay events and create meaning that keeps us stuck in loops.
• Janiece's birth trauma transformation. How Brad's wife went from being unable to talk about their daughter's traumatic birth without crying, to having zero emotional charge after healing the trauma with Dr. Wood.
• Why your body won't heal in fight-or-flight. When your nervous system perceives a threat, it shuts down maintenance and repair functions, leading to chronic health issues that won't resolve until you heal the trauma.
• How to break the generational cycle. Dr. Wood reveals why apologizing to your children and demo

Join Dr. Don Wood and Brad Bizjack for a powerful live training where you'll discover why unresolved trauma is the hidden root cause of anxiety, depression, most autoimmune issues, and performance plateaus‚ and learn the steps to actually heal it. This isn't theory. This is science-backed methodology that has transformed thousands of lives. 

Episode Description:

What if everything you think is holding you back (anxiety, anger, lack of focus, health issues) isn't the real problem at all?

Unresolved trauma is silently running your life, and you probably don't even know it.

In this groundbreaking episode, Brad sits down with Dr. Don Wood‚ a leading expert in trauma resolution (and his personal trauma therapist)‚ to reveal why healing trauma is the missing piece in your success, health, and relationships.

You'll discover why 80% of psychological and physical issues are trauma-based, and why most doctors only treat the symptoms instead of the root cause. Dr. Wood shares the shocking story of how his daughter's Crohn's disease and life-threatening lung disorder completely disappeared after healing childhood trauma‚ proving that unresolved trauma doesn't just affect your mind, it manifests in your body.

Brad opens up about his own journey, being pissed off on a jet ski, completely disconnected from his family despite having everything to be grateful for, and how healing his nervous system unlocked an entirely new gear he didn't know existed.

This episode will fundamentally shift how you understand anxiety, depression, autoimmune disease, ADHD, addiction, and the invisible ceilings you keep hitting in your life. 

You'll learn why your nervous system doesn't know the difference between past and present, why you can't think your way out of trauma, and what's actually possible when you heal at the root level.

Key Takeaways: 

• Why 80% of psychological and physical issues are trauma-based, and why traditional medicine only treats symptoms, not the root cause of anxiety, depression, and autoimmune disorders.
• How Dr. Don Wood's daughter permanently healed from Crohn's disease and a life-threatening lung disorder by resolving childhood trauma, after doctors said there was no cure and she'd need a colostomy bag for life.
• Your nervous system doesn't understand time. When you have unresolved trauma, your body responds to “triggers” as if the original threat is happening right now, keeping you stuck in fight-or-flight mode.
• Why you can't think your way out of trauma‚ the trauma isn't stored in your conscious mind, it's stored in your nervous system, which is why affirmations and positive thinking don't create lasting change.
• The invisible cost of unresolved trauma, from being unable to be present with your family, to hitting performance ceilings in business, to chronic health issues that won't resolve no matter what you try.
• Brad's jet ski mom
