February 09, 2026This Hidden Belief May Be Sabotaging Your Abundance | Brendon Burchard
Brendon Burchard shares a powerful truth most high performers miss: creating significant life changes is more dependent on an understanding of sociology than psychology.
While personal discipline and habits matter, the real breakthroughs happen when you surround yourself with people who see possibilities in you that you don't yet see in yourself. You're likely stuck not because something is wrong with you, but because you're an A player performing on a B field.
The path forward isn't about working harder or gaining more information. It's about investing in the right rooms, whether that's a mastermind, a volunteer group, or a team that elevates your thinking and challenges your timeline for what's possible.
The Greatness Playbook: The Network is Net Worth Edition
Brendon’s books:
The Millionaire Messenger: Make a Difference and a Fortune Sharing Your Advice
The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives That Make You Feel Alive
The Motivation Manifesto: 9 Declarations to Claim Your Personal Power
Life's Golden Ticket: A Story About Second Chances

January 30, 2026Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand
Kendra Scott reveals the shocking truth about 2020: while the world saw a billion-dollar brand thriving, she was sobbing herself to sleep every night, feeling like a complete fraud.
From dropping out of college to build a hat company that failed, to becoming a single mom starting over with $500 worth of jewelry supplies, Kendra's path to building one of America's most beloved jewelry brands was anything but glamorous.

Whether you're struggling to start, scared to pivot, or exhausted from trying to be perfect for everyone else, this conversation will show you how vulnerability becomes your greatest competitive advantage and why your mess is actually your message.

January 28, 2026Why You Need to Be Broke (Before You Get Rich)
Lewis reveals a truth most people run from: being broke isn't your failure, it's your education.
He shares his own season sleeping on his sister's couch with no income, no savings, and no clear path forward, feeling trapped and questioning his worth.
You'll learn why the lessons you gain when money is scarce teach you more about wealth than any amount in your bank account ever could.
Lewis walks you through five specific reasons why financial struggle forces critical growth around resourcefulness, self-worth, and your relationship with money itself. This isn't about romanticizing poverty or staying broke, it's about extracting wisdom from hard seasons so that when money does come, you're actually ready to keep it.

January 26, 2026Why Healing Your Past Won't Change Your Life
Katherine Woodward Thomas reveals why decades of therapy and personal development work can still leave you stuck in the same patterns.
She exposes the 22 core beliefs that act as invisible glass ceilings on your potential, with "I'm not good enough" and "I'm alone" leading the pack.

January 23, 2026Tabitha Brown: What Happens When You Finally Stop Pretending
Tabitha Brown reveals the prayer that changed everything: "God, if you heal me, you can have me."
After battling chronic illness for a year and seven months, she made a choice that terrified her, to stop pretending and start living as her authentic self. The transformation didn't just heal her body. It cost her friendships, tested her marriage, and forced her to walk away from the version of herself she'd spent decades creating.
On the other side of that bathroom prayer, she found something more valuable than any acting role or endorsement deal: freedom. Her journey from conforming in corporate America and Hollywood to building a multimedia empire on authenticity proves that when you finally stop performing for approval, abundance finds you. The path forward starts with one question you need to ask yourself today: What mask are you wearing, and what would happen if you took it off?
Tabitha’s books:
Cooking from the Spirit
Feeding the Soul (Because It's My Business)
Seen, Loved and Heard: A Guided Journal for Feeding the Soul
I Did a New Thing
Hello There, Sunshine
In this episode you will:
Learn the signs of confirmation that keep appearing in your life and what they're trying to tell you about your purpose
Break through the fear of losing relationships when you step into your truth and understand why some people can't come with you
Discover why habitual prayer kept you stuck and how to shift into true connection that transforms your reality
Uncover the difference between dreams deposited inside you and goals you create, and why only one will let you rest
Master the practice of obedience over sacrifice and why choosing the harder path now creates the easier life later

January 21, 20269 Things You Rarely Do For Yourself (But Should Do Every Day)
A neuroscientist and brain surgeon told Lewis that emotional regulation is the single most important skill every human being should master, yet most of us were never taught how to do it.
You know that feeling of waking up already exhausted, scrolling your phone before your feet hit the floor, and saying yes to things that drain you just to avoid conflict. Most people are burned out not because they are doing too much, but because they are doing too much of what does not actually matter to them and too little of what brings them joy.
These nine practices are not about overhauling your life overnight. They are small, stackable habits like protecting your first ten minutes each morning, naming your emotions without judgment, and creating mental closure before bed so tomorrow gets the best version of you.
Make Money Easy: Create Financial Freedom and Live a Richer Life
The Greatness Mindset: Unlock the Power of Your Mind and Live Your Best Life Today
The Mask of Masculinity: How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest Lives
The School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a Legacy
In this episode you will:
Discover why your attention is your most valuable resource and how giving it away first thing in the morning sets you up for a reactive, stressful day
Master the art of setting boundaries that protect your energy without pushing people away so you can stop resenting the people you said yes to
Uncover the hidden cost of avoiding hard conversations and how tackling one uncomfortable thing each day compounds faster than motivation ever will
Understand why consistency beats intensity when it comes to movement and how even ten minutes of daily exercise builds unshakeable self-respect
Learn the simple shutdown ritual that will help you stop carrying today's stress into tomorrow and finally wake up feeling rested

January 19, 2026Doctor Explains: Healing Your Gut Won't Work Until You Heal This
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz reveals a profound connection between your gut and your total well-being: 70% of your immune system resides in your gut lining.
The quiet enemy? Chronic inflammation, which is silently eroding your energy, focus, and long-term health. You aren't just drained from a busy life; you're inflamed because your gut microbiome is compromised. This inflammation triggers a cascade of symptoms that many have come to view as "normal."
What sets this conversation apart is Dr. Will's deeply personal journey. He shares how unresolved trauma, including a decade-long estrangement from his father, sabotaged his health even with a perfect diet.
You will discover the specific foods that fortify your gut barrier and calm the immune system. Crucially, you'll also learn why spiritual healing and processing past wounds might be the critical missing link in your health equation.
This is much more than a guide to better digestion—it's a path to finally feeling truly alive again.
The Greatness Playbook: The Gut Health Edition
Dr. Will’s books:
Fiber Fueled
The Fiber Fueled Cookbook
Plant Powered Plus
In this episode you will:
Uncover the surprising connection between your gut microbiome and emotional resilience, and why healing past wounds is as important as changing your diet
Discover why 70% of your immune system lives in your gut and how a weak gut barrier creates chronic inflammation that affects everything from brain fog to joint pain
Transform your energy and focus by eating the four "workhorse" nutrients that repair your gut lining and calm your immune system naturally
Break through the cycle of fatigue by understanding how unhealed trauma keeps your body in perpetual fight-or-flight mode, weakening your gut
Master simple breath techniques that activate your parasympathetic nervous system and immediately shift your body from stress mode to healing mode
