Follow the show: The School of Greatness

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

Wealth expert Brendon Burchard shatters conventional thinking about abundance in this transformative conversation. After hitting rock bottom in San Francisco — literally watching his girlfriend sleep under the weight of his unpaid bills — Brendon found his breakthrough moment fighting for someone beyond himself. He reveals how emotions happen to us while feelings are created through meaning, and why most wealthy people transcend survival thinking to build abundance. Through powerful personal stories, Brendon explains why alignment must precede achievement, why assertiveness trumps confidence, and how a particular mindset destroys potential. His journey from broke writer to coaching billionaires offers practical wisdom for anyone feeling stuck, proving that freedom comes not from needing less but from serving more.

Brendon’s books:

• High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Become That Way
• The Motivation Manifesto: 9 Declarations to Claim Your Personal Power
• The Millionaire Messenger: Make a Difference and a Fortune Sharing Your Advice

In this episode you will learn:

• How to break free from survival mindset into abundance by fighting for someone beyond yourself
• Why doubt isn't your problem, and how to use doubt as a signal to learn rather than quit
• The Z.A.P.S. framework that explains how negative thinking sabotages success
• Why preparation for what interests you reveals alignment with your true path
• How to develop assertiveness by believing you'll figure things out rather than needing certainty
• Why alignment precedes assignment, which leads to abundance

Introducing Michelle Obama Opens Up: Her Struggle To Feel Like She's “Enough,” Mental Health in the White House & Lessons from Childhood w/ Craig Robinson from The School of Greatness.

Follow the show: The School of Greatness

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson reveal how growing up in a tiny Chicago apartment shaped their values and outlook on life. From Craig "vetting" Barack Obama during a pickup basketball game to Michelle navigating the pressures of the White House, their conversation uncovers how family bonds grounded them through extraordinary circumstances. What makes this sibling dynamic special isn't just their impressive achievements but their authentic connection - Craig bringing lightness and joy while Michelle delivers wisdom and perspective. Their shared belief that "home is about who's there, not where you are" resonates deeply as they explain how they raised confident children amid extreme privilege and spotlight by teaching them that success comes from character, not circumstance.

• How their parents "coached confidence" decades before it became popular, building them up rather than breaking them down
• The surprising way Michelle and Barack maintained their mental health during White House stress by coaching their daughter's basketball team
• Why Michelle feels more confident at 61 than ever before despite asking herself "am I good enough?" throughout her career
• The counterintuitive parenting approach that helped them raise grounded children despite White House privilege

Follow the show: The School of Greatness

Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

Despite achieving massive success with her latest book “Let Them", today Mel Robbins shares how she spent decades battling self-hatred and constant anxiety until she finally addressed her nervous system's fight-or-flight response rooted in childhood trauma. Mel also reveals how her groundbreaking "Let Them Theory" emerged from a transformative moment at her son's prom, where her daughter's blunt advice changed everything. Her powerful perspective on building self-belief through consistent action rather than external validation offers a blueprint for anyone feeling stuck—success isn't about perfect habits or natural talent but simply showing up when you don't feel like it and refusing to let discouragement win.

Mel’s books:

The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About

The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage

The High 5 Habit: Take Control of Your Life with One Simple Habit

In this episode you will learn:

• Why success is ultimately about not quitting, even when everything feels impossible
• How to develop faith in yourself
• The two biggest obstacles to achievement
• Why external success never repairs internal self-worth, without addressing your relationship with yourself
• How to recognize and reset your nervous system when it's stuck in chronic fight-or-flight mode
