Turn Your Panic Into Power Before Every Performance | Joel Kinnaman

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1933DM Joel Kinnaman didn't walk into acting with confidence. He applied to theater school four times before getting in. Then the panic attacks started. Before every performance, his mouth would fill with water. A bucket was always nearby. Didn't matter if it was ten people in the audience. The breaking point came in front of the entire school. He froze mid-sentence, repeating "Donna Maria" over and over until the silence swallowed the room. He walked off stage, slammed a door, stood there, then walked back and finished the whole thing like a robot. That's what commitment to a calling actually looks like. Not clean. Not confident. Just refusing to quit.

How To Unlock Your Best Work By Eliminating Total Freedom | David Epstein

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1932DM Keith Jarrett showed up to a sold-out concert in Germany and hated the piano. Wrong instrument. Out of tune. Fewer keys than he needed. He tried to walk. The promoter begged him to stay. So he played anyway. Only certain keys were usable. The sound wasn't loud enough for the room. He started banging his foot against the pedal just to make percussive noise. It became the bestselling solo jazz piano album of all time. David Epstein breaks down why the things we think are holding us back are often what force us into something no one has done before. Research backs it up: we overestimate what more freedom will give us. Irreversible decisions actually make people happier. More options don't increase enjoyment. The imperfect piano made the masterpiece.

Why Every Woman Needs Her Own Money Before Marriage | Vivian Tu

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1884DM Vivian Tu says it plainly: being in a relationship is more expensive for women than men. Not just lost income. What that income could have compounded into over a lifetime. She reframes the prenup entirely. Not a divorce document. A fairness agreement you make while you still like each other. Lewis opens up about going through the process with his wife Martha, and says he fell more in love with her because of it. They had to get "financially naked." Every account. Every asset. Nothing hidden, just things they'd never thought to say out loud. Vivian also gets real about generational wealth. If you're broke, it sounds like a word that belongs to someone else. She says the trap is wanting it while resenting everyone who has it. That jealousy? It's the thing standing between you and building it yourself.

The Orange Squeeze: What Comes Out Under Pressure Is What's Inside | Faith Jenkins

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1931DM Faith Jenkins is a divorce attorney who's seen it all, and she says the courtroom strips people down to what they're really made of. Her analogy is simple. Squeeze an orange and you get orange juice. Every time. Doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, stressed or comfortable. What's inside is what comes out. The same is true for people in divorce. She waited until 42 to get married. Watched her own parents split when she was 13. And at 21, went full CSI on a boyfriend's Manhattan apartment because she knew something was off. She's lived all sides of this. And what she'll tell you is that walking away from someone you love doesn't have to be destructive. It takes one thing most people are still working on: emotional maturity.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1930DM Dr. Michael Breus makes a wild point early: one sentence from a doctor could make 10mg of Ambien completely useless. That's how much your brain runs the show. Most sleep problems aren't about your mattress or your schedule. They're fear-based. Low-grade anxiety that keeps your heart rate up and your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight. And when you wake up at 3am? Your brain immediately goes negative. It's wired that way. Breus says your heart rate needs to drop to around 60 bpm before your body will even allow sleep. Flip on the news at night and you're fighting that the whole way down. You need runway to land the plane.

How To Reprogram Your Mind Before It Repeats Your Past | Lewis Howes

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1929DM Lewis was hitting every external marker of success. NYT bestseller. Platform. Audience. And none of it touched the feeling inside. He was still that kid on the couch. Broke. Feeling stupid. Chasing the next thing to feel valid. What he thought was drive turned out to be a defense mechanism. The anger, the need to prove people wrong, it got results, but it wasn't vision. It was a wound doing the work. The shift started with one question: what's actually running your mind right now? Your thoughts aren't facts. They're patterns. Copied and pasted from pain you absorbed years ago. And if you don't stop to look at them, they become your future by default. Step one is just awareness. Take inventory. Notice how you respond when you get rejected. Notice how you receive praise. That's where reprogramming begins.

What Neuroscience Says Every Parent Should Do | Dr. Baland Jalal

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1815DM Your child's brain is already losing connections. Not because something's wrong. Because of pruning. The brain cuts whatever isn't being used. Dr. Baland Jalal says the window is real, and what you do in it matters. Affection first. Hugging and physical touch trigger oxytocin and neuropeptides that directly support neuroplasticity. It's not soft parenting. It's brain science. Then real stimulation. Not screens. Screens wire dopamine addiction loops. The stimulation that builds the brain is social. Learning to read faces, pick up on emotional cues, engage with other humans. Dr. Jalal admits COVID isolation left him socially handicapped. His mirror neurons went quiet. And finally: let them run. Cardiovascular exercise produces BDNF, what he calls "fertilizer for the brain," which grows new synapses. The last one is easy to miss: convey passion. Kids catch it from the adults around them.

The Real Reason Every Diet Has Failed You | Dr. Mindy Pelz

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1928DM Most people have spent years obsessing over what to eat. Dr. Mindy Pelz says that's exactly the wrong question. Your body runs two energy systems. One runs on food. The other only kicks in after 8 to 10 hours without eating. That's the fat-burning, brain-sharpening, hunger-suppressing system. Most people never get there. That's why diets keep failing. You're only working with half the machine. Mindy breaks down how to train into fasting gradually. Trying to jump straight to long fasts is like running a marathon with three weeks of 3-mile runs. Lewis learned that the hard way. She also gives one dead-simple rule for timing meals: eat when it's light out. Once darkness hits and melatonin rises, your body stores what you eat as fat. The suffering at hour 12? That's your body repairing itself. That's the point. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Why Believing the System Is Rigged Is Costing You Everything | Mrs. Dow Jones

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1927DM There's a name for that feeling that saving money is pointless. Haley Sacks, a.k.a. Mrs. Dow Jones, calls it financial nihilism. It's when you've counted yourself out so completely that you stop planning for the future and start flexing for the present. She lived it. Designer bag on one hand, past-due rent on the other. The wake-up wasn't a book or a seminar. It was staring at a Louis Vuitton bag she bought on eBay and realizing it was a mask. Something to signal "I'm fine" when she wasn't. Billionaires wear sweatpants because they don't need to prove anything. That contrast says everything. $200 a month at 25 turns into $700,000 by your sixties. The math works.

How To Build The Resilience That Saves You Before Crisis Hits | Brendon Burchard

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1926DM Brendon Burchard makes a claim that sounds controversial until you think about it: high performers don't just tolerate responsibility, they crave it. They can't wait to see how they show up when they're 30 points down. The mindset shift is specific. When you're underperforming and reactive, every obligation feels like a threat. When you've done the inner work, that same pressure feels like a stage. Lewis puts it in concrete terms. The people who thrive in a crisis aren't the ones scrambling to get ready. They're the ones who never stopped preparing. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. That's not a motivational slogan. It's a strategy.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1660DM Goggins says getting civilized is the worst thing that can happen to a person. Not failure. Not pain. Comfort. The version of him that can handle anything? He built that. It wasn't there at birth. And when comfort creeps in, that guy starts to die. He runs every morning not because he loves it. Because he hates it. An hour and a half before the gym, every day, because doing something hard before the world attacks you is how armor gets built. He's been stretching two to three hours a night for five and a half years. Missed two days. That's not obsession. That's the direct result of a childhood spent in fear, a body clenched tight from stress, and a psoas muscle that almost shut him down for good. He lives at 90 to 99 percent of his potential. Says 100 is dead. Most people are at 40. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1925DM Graham Stephan's money obsession started at six years old, checking every penny in circulation hoping to find a rare 1909 SVDB coin his grandfather had shown him. By the time he had a driver's license, he was budgeting $20 down to the cent. Gas, a Subway footlong split into two meals, and $5 leftover. Nothing wasted. At his first real job making $8 an hour, he started asking himself whether a sandwich was worth 40 minutes of work. Spoiler: it wasn't. Three habits carried him from $50K to his first million: relentless consistency, one-thing focus, and a frugality he now admits bordered on unhealthy.

Six months in India, twice-daily sessions at an ashram, and a teacher who refused to use the word "cancer." Just an imbalance. Let's correct it. That reframe lifted the fear.

After 18 seasons, USA Basketball, and more miles than most careers allow, the math isn't in his favor physically. But that's not the whole story. What he's figured out is cortisol management, knowing exactly where he still adds elite value, and using veteran communication as a weapon younger players don't have yet. Lewis is chasing the same thing from a different angle — training for LA 2028 at 45, trying to extend an Olympic handball dream by staying mentally and physically young.

Something she learned, as she puts it, in the classroom of Auschwitz. She tells the story of two Vietnam veterans. Same injuries. Same diagnosis. Same prognosis. One was curled in a fetal position, asking why. The other told her he was grateful to be in a wheelchair because he could reach his children closer. Same body. Entirely different life. The only difference was meaning. What hit hardest: Edith had her degree, her white coat, her patients, and still felt like an imposter. She hadn't done her own work. So she went back to Auschwitz. Alone. Her sister said she was an idiot. She calls it reliving so you can revise. Not going back. A new beginning.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1921DM Chloe Kim is a two-time Olympic champion who couldn't survive a routine fall without being laid up for a week. Forty pounds heavier than her last competitive season, she made it to Beijing anyway. It was brutal. Snowboarding from 22-foot halfpipe walls hurts enough when you're fit. Carrying extra weight, it was a different kind of pain. After Beijing, she locked in. Morning gym sessions. Jogging. Pilates. Real consistency for the first time. Now she talks about strength as armor. Her legs protect her partially torn ACL. Her arms support a shoulder that would otherwise give out. She bounces back faster, feels less destroyed after a season. She didn't get serious because she wanted to. She got serious because the pain finally cost too much.

The Highest Level of Generosity Has Nothing To Do With Money | Ryan Leak

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1920DM Ryan Leak didn't grow up with resources. When his dad had a stroke, his family was about to be pulled out of private school because they couldn't afford it. Then a freshman English teacher showed up and paid their tuition. No fanfare. Just belief. That moment shaped everything. Now Ryan breaks down the eight levels of generosity from Jewish tradition and where most people get stuck. Giving with a grudge. Giving with a smile but not enough. Giving publicly when it should be quiet. The highest level? It's not the check. It's the connection, the time, the mentorship that changes what someone is capable of earning themselves. And when people keep coming back without doing the work? Ryan's answer is direct: "You don't need my money. You need my mind." Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How To Know If You're With the Right Person | Michael Todd

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1919DM You can be wildly compatible with someone and still be wrong for each other. Michael Todd makes it plain. Most people choose partners based on chemistry and pleasure. But pleasure fades. When the money's gone, when life gets hard, when the spark dims, what's left? Purpose is what's left. Or it isn't. He breaks down why so many people keep ending up in the same painful patterns: they haven't spent enough time with themselves to even know where they're going. You can't find someone headed in your direction if you don't know your direction. When two people are truly aligned on purpose, something shifts. They don't just stay together. They make each other better. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Pain You're Avoiding Is the Key to Your Greatness | Amy Purdy

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1918DM Amy Purdy was 19 when her body started failing all at once. Kidneys. Spleen. Hearing. The medical appointments were endless and the weight of it could have crushed her completely. What she figured out instead: stop carrying all of it at once. One week was just leg week. The next was kidney week. Nothing else existed but that one thing. That simple act of compartmentalization got her through the unsurvivable. She also makes a point that's hard to argue with. Anxiety makes inspiration impossible. You literally cannot picture your future when you're stuck in survival mode. But find one small thing that pulls you through, lean into it, and it grows. Her biggest belief: your challenges don't block your life. They open it. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Your Body Makes Painkillers 3x Stronger Than Drugs | Dr Joe Dispenza

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1917DM Dr Joe Dispenza drops a number that stops you cold: 100%. Not 25% like a strong drug trial. Not 70%. Every single person in his seven-day retreats produced their own endogenous opioids. Their own internal pharmacy of pain relief. Surgery didn't do it. Chemo didn't. Neither did the ketogenic diet, the vegan protocol, or the raw food plan. One intervention worked across 63 different chronic diseases. Meditation. He also shares that 84% of advanced meditators carry factors in their blood that actively stop cancer from spreading. And after seven days of immersive practice, 80% of participants begin expressing the same genes regardless of their individual backgrounds. The science is quiet and stunning.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1632DM Memory isn't a video file you play back. It's a story your brain assembles from fragments, filtered through your current beliefs. If you believe you're a failure, you'll find proof in every memory you revisit. Dr. Charan Ranganath breaks down why that happens and what you can actually do about it. The shift isn't about forgetting. It's about learning to see the same event from a different angle and finding the evidence that contradicts the story you've been locked into. One practical move he swears by: design your environment to remind you of what's true when you're at your lowest.

Depression, Anxiety, and Addiction Might All Be the Same Thing | Michael Pollan

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1916DM Your habits are keeping you alive. They're also keeping you stuck. Michael Pollan makes a case that rattles the foundation of modern psychiatry: depression, anxiety, addiction, and OCD may not be separate diseases at all. They might be four faces of the same thing. A mind locked in rigid patterns, running the same destructive loops on repeat. The fix isn't just willpower. Pollan points to something more fundamental: morning sunlight, movement, sleep, and in therapeutic settings, the emerging science of psychedelic medicine, which appears to do something no antidepressant can. It breaks the habit at the root. New thought patterns become possible. New behavior follows. That's where real healing starts.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1915DM Dan Martell rates his self-love at an 8 out of 10. Not a 10. He'll tell you why. His definition of a perfect 10 is being able to sit alone, completely stripped of his job, his money, his brand, even his kids, and feel whole. He's not there yet. That honesty alone is worth the listen. His coach Stephanie dared him to spend five days alone in a van with no phone and no plan. He said no for a year. When he finally went, day three in the woods cracked something open. He calls it pure love. The guy who wrote the book on productivity admits work was partly a way to avoid himself. His challenge to you: take a walk. No AirPods. No route. No elevation tracker. Just wander.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1914DM Emma Grede doesn't believe in needing just one person to complete you, but she absolutely needs people. Her life is a tapestry of deep, intentional relationships: her husband, her sisters, her close circle. When she left home for opportunity, she learned a hard truth. The price of ambition is familiarity. You lose the people and places that make you feel like yourself. That sacrifice shaped everything. She now actively hunts for fear because she knows that's where growth happens. She's retrained her mind to look at failure not as a character flaw but as a moment where life is trying to teach her something. For women especially, she argues emotions aren't liabilities. They're tools you learn to manage, not suppress. What's your next scary move? Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Everything you have right now is your fault. That's truth one. The moment you accept that, it becomes yours to fix. Truth two: change your environment. He left Baltimore because Baltimore wasn't a fitness capital. Southern California was. New city, blank slate, no interference. Truth three: ask yourself whether what you're doing right now increases or decreases the likelihood you hit your goals. He runs that question 10 to 20 times a day. The friend who always wants to go out? Fantasy football? You already know the answer. And his favorite question of all: "What would it take?"

Older Isn't Weaker. It's Wiser | Dr. Andrew Weil

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1913DM For decades, Andrew Weil chased love in the wrong place. In other people. While ignoring the foundation that had to come first: loving himself. He dropped out of medicine when people thought he was crazy, explored unconventional paths, and got zero reinforcement from the world. Then came years of depression. The shift happened gradually in his 40s. Physical activity. Diet changes. Meditation and breathing practice. A natural maturation that came with age. The depression lifted. And with it came a clarity he'd never had before: he could finally say no to things and people that didn't serve him. What surprised him most? Getting older isn't decline. It's deepening. People become more complex, more resilient, less easily thrown off balance. They build equilibrium. They access wisdom. And if we actually valued older people instead of shutting them away, we'd realize they're repositories of something we desperately need.
