📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me.
Season 1 of the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership has been the most downloaded series in the history of this show. And the questions you have been sending in have been just as good as anything John and I have covered together.
This one is just me speaking directly to you.
You all submitted thousands of questions through the workbook, and I sat down to go through the ones that kept coming up over and over again like:
- How to build real confidence when you don't feel qualified
- How to walk into a broken culture without making it worse
- What the most important law is in the age of AI
- How to balance results with actually investing in your people
- What I would go back and tell my 27-year-old self if I could
That last one is the one I want you to pay close attention to. Because I made mistakes as a young leader that cost me relationships, cost me trust, and cost me time I will never get back. I talk about them honestly in this episode because I think you learning from my mistakes means you might not have to make your own.
These are the questions I wish someone had sat down and answered for me when I was coming up. Nobody did. So I am doing it for you now. Go watch this episode. And when you are done, send it to somebody who needs it.
Season 2 starts next week. We are going into Laws 8 through 14 with John Maxwell and I promise you it goes even deeper than Season 1. If you thought the first seven laws were good, you have not seen anything yet. Make sure you are subscribed and make sure you have the workbook so you can follow along and submit your questions as we go.

30 July 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 1 minuteWhy I Gave My AI Access to Everything Feat. Peter Diamandis
He named his AI, "Skippy". He gave it access to his iMessages, his emails, every conversation he has. And he says it's the smartest thing he's ever done.
Every time Peter Diamandis comes on this show, downloads go through the roof. There's a reason for that. He doesn't just talk about the future. He's building it.
Peter brings something to this conversation that almost no one else on earth can: a front-row seat to where the world is actually going, backed by 28 companies, decades of relationships with Elon Musk, Larry Page, Eric Schmidt, and the architects of AI, and the kind of credibility that only comes from being right about the future over and over again.
In this conversation, Peter lays out his clearest vision yet of the next decade: ambient AI that knows your schedule before you do, a billion humanoid robots on the streets within ten years, the reversal of aging becoming a clinical reality, and the democratization of health care that will save more lives than any drug ever has.
He also doesn't soften the turbulence that comes first, a 2-to-8-year window of real social and economic disruption that most people are completely unprepared for. I push him on the things people are afraid to ask: whether privacy is actually already gone, whether a solopreneur with AI can become a billionaire, and what the difference is between passion and purpose.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
•The 6-Year Storm: Peter's honest prediction for the turbulence ahead, who gets hit hardest, and the one mindset shift that determines whether you come out the other side as a creator or a consumer.
•Aging Is About to Become Optional: What longevity escape velocity actually means and how AI could double the human lifespan within ten years.
•Passion vs. Purpose: The distinction between passion & purpose, and why getting this wrong is the most expensive mistake a person can make right now.
•Privacy Is Already Gone: Peter's most controversial take, why he named his own AI "Skippy" and gave it access to everything, and why the trade-off is about to become the most obvious decision most people have ever made.
•The Terminator Future vs. the Star Trek Future: How Hollywood has been programming us for the wrong outcomes with AI, and negatively impacting the future of civilization

28 July 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 35 minutesHow to Build Unshakable Self Confidence From Scratch | Ed Mylett
What if confidence isn't something you're born with, but something you build one promise at a time?
In this mashup episode, I bring together four incredible conversations that completely changed the way I think about confidence, purpose, and creating a life you're proud of. The truth is, most people spend their lives waiting to feel confident before they take action. But confidence isn't something you discover. It's something you earn. It's built every time you keep a promise to yourself, trust your instincts when everyone else says you're wrong, and choose courage over comfort. If you've been battling self doubt or questioning whether you're capable of more, this episode is exactly what you need.
Brendon Burchard and I dive deep into what self confidence really is, and why it's not about external validation or achieving a certain result. We talk about building trust with yourself by keeping your commitments, creating momentum through small daily wins, and why your intentions matter just as much as your abilities. I also share the mindset shifts that have helped me overcome self doubt throughout my own life, because I've struggled with confidence just like so many of you.
Jamie Kern Lima reminds us what happens when you refuse to let rejection define your future. After hearing "no" for years, she stayed true to her vision, trusted her intuition, and ultimately built one of the most successful beauty brands in the world. Ryan Serhant shares how confidence isn't something reserved for a lucky few. It's an energy you choose to embody before anyone else believes in you. And Tom Papa offers one of the most refreshing perspectives you'll ever hear about purpose, fulfillment, and embracing the life you're meant to live instead of comparing yourself to everyone else. Each conversation reinforces the same powerful truth. Your confidence grows every time you choose to believe in yourself before the world gives you permission.
I truly believe your life changes the moment you stop waiting to feel ready. You don't need more talent. You don't need everyone else's approval. You need to start trusting yourself enough to take the next step. Confidence isn't built overnight. It's built daily through discipline, faith, intention, and the willingness to keep showing up. My hope is this episode reminds you that everything you've been looking for is already inside you. Now it's time to start acting like it.
Key Takeaways:
- Why self confidence is built by keeping the promises you make to yourself
- Brendon Burchard's framework for creating lasting confidence through daily habits
- Jamie Kern Lima's inspiring lesson on trusting your intuition even after years of rejection
- Ryan Serhant's concept of building the energy that attracts opportunities and success
- Why your intentions create confidence even before your results do
- Tom Papa's perspective on choosing a meaningful life instead of chasing someone else's version of success
- How to silence self doubt by building trust with yourself one decision at a time
- Why your greatest breakthrough often begins the moment you stop waiting for permission
You were never meant to live a life controlled by fear or self doubt. You were created to trust yourself, step boldly into your purpose, and become the person you're capable of being. Confidence isn't waiting for you. It's waiting to be built.

25 July 2026, 8:00 am - 29 minutes 34 seconds21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Q&A Season 1, w/John Maxwell
📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me.
You asked. John answered. This is the Season 1 Q&A with John Maxwell.
After seven laws and seven weeks of building the foundation of great leadership, John Maxwell and I sat down to answer the questions YOU submitted. What came out of this conversation surprised even me. Some of the best moments between John and me have happened off camera over the years, and this one felt like we were able to bring some of that onto the show.
We received over 15,000 questions from all of you, and my team and I combed through every single one of them to find the ones that kept coming up over and over again. What we landed on covers the full range: family leadership, business leadership, leading through uncertainty, and questions that start setting the stage for what's coming in Season 2.
There is something that happens when John and I get in a room together that I genuinely can't manufacture. This man has poured into me for years in ways most of you have never seen, and in this episode some of that spills out in real time. John got emotional. I shared something personal that brought the whole series full circle. And there were moments in this conversation where I looked at him and thought: this is exactly why we do this.
Whether you have been with us since Law 1 or you are jumping in for the first time today, this is the one you do not want to miss.

23 July 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 7 secondsMaking It Without Losing Yourself Feat. Jess Ekstrom
What would you ask if your uncle was Bernie Madoff? My guest actually sat across from him in prison and the conversation changed the course of her life forever.
When I found out that today's guest, Jess Ekstrom, is Bernie Madoff's great niece, I knew we had to start there. Her family didn't just watch one of the biggest financial scandals in history unfold on television. They lived it. They lost nearly everything. Years later, Jess made the decision to visit Bernie Madoff in prison, searching for answers that most people would never have the courage to ask. What he confessed to her during that visit was shocking. He told her that his downfall didn't begin with money or investing. It began as a lonely child trying to buy friendship and approval. That conversation became the foundation for everything Jess teaches today about success, validation, and living a meaningful life.
But this episode is about so much more than Bernie Madoff. Jess went on to build an incredible business, sell it for millions, and accomplish goals most entrepreneurs spend a lifetime chasing. Yet after reaching everything she thought would finally make her happy, she realized something almost all high achievers eventually discover. Achievement alone cannot give you fulfillment. We unpack the dangerous "arrival trap" that keeps so many people believing happiness is always waiting on the other side of the next accomplishment.
We also dive into the stories we tell ourselves that quietly shape our entire lives. Jess shares how one childhood moment convinced her she wasn't good with numbers, even though she eventually built multiple successful companies. We talk about comparison versus inspiration, why your greatest limitations often begin with a single belief, and how changing your story can completely change your future. This conversation is filled with practical wisdom for anyone who wants to pursue big dreams without sacrificing joy along the way.
One of my favorite moments is when Jess shares her incredible framework of becoming a lighthouse instead of a spotlight. That lesson alone is worth listening to this episode. Whether you're building a business, leading a team, raising a family, or simply trying to become the best version of yourself, this conversation will challenge you to stop chasing validation and start building a life rooted in purpose.
Key Takeaways:
- The shocking lesson Jess learned from visiting Bernie Madoff in prison
- Why the need for approval can quietly shape the direction of your entire life
- How to avoid the "arrival trap" that keeps high achievers chasing fulfillment
- The difference between comparison and inspiration and why it changes everything
- How changing one limiting story can transform your future
- Why becoming a lighthouse instead of a spotlight will make you a better leader and communicator
If you've ever wondered why success doesn't always bring happiness, or you've been chasing a future that never seems to arrive, this conversation will completely change the way you think about ambition, fulfillment, and the life you're building.

21 July 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 30 minutesThe 3-Step Mind Routine That Attracts Anything You Want | Ed Mylett
What if the life you want isn't waiting for luck to find you, but for you to become the person who can attract it?
In this mashup episode, I bring together some of my favorite conversations about one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal growth: attraction. I'm not talking about wishful thinking or hoping the universe magically hands you your dreams. I'm talking about becoming the kind of person whose mindset, habits, standards, and energy naturally pull the right opportunities, relationships, and success into your life. Ryan Pineda, Lewis Howes, Jay Shetty, Dan Martell, Tom Bilyeu, and I dive into what it really takes to create a life that reflects your highest potential instead of your biggest fears.
Ryan Pineda and I unpack why discomfort is often the greatest advantage you'll ever have. We discuss why success isn't about escaping hard work, but learning to love the process of becoming. Lewis Howes and I explore confidence, intention, and why the promises you keep to yourself ultimately shape the person you become. Jay Shetty reminds us that greatness isn't measured by how many people know your name. It's measured by how many lives you impact through service. Every one of these conversations reinforces the same truth. The person you become is far more important than the things you accumulate.
Dan Martell and I talk about becoming "the one" who changes the trajectory of your family and your future. We discuss how the mistakes you're most ashamed of may actually become the greatest qualification you have to help someone else. Tom Bilyeu and I break down why time is one of your greatest assets and how intentionally designing your days allows you to create extraordinary momentum. Throughout these conversations, I also share the three step mental routine that has transformed my own life by helping me focus on what I want instead of what I fear.
I truly believe you were born to do something extraordinary with your life. The challenge is that too many people spend their lives operating from old conditioning, fear, and limiting beliefs instead of intention and possibility. When you begin to change your thoughts, raise your standards, and intentionally pursue the emotions and life you truly desire, everything around you begins to change. The opportunities were always there. You simply become the person capable of seeing them.
Key Takeaways:
• Why your thoughts become the currency you use to purchase your future
• Ryan Pineda on embracing discomfort as the foundation for long term success
• Lewis Howes on building confidence by keeping the promises you make to yourself
• Jay Shetty's reminder that serving others is one of the fastest paths to living a meaningful life
• Dan Martell on becoming the person who changes your family's future and why your greatest struggles often become your greatest strengths
• Tom Bilyeu's practical strategies for mastering time and creating momentum every single day
• Why intention, repetition, and environment shape the life you ultimately attract
• How changing who you are on the inside transforms what becomes possible on the outside
You are far closer to the life you want than you think. One decision, one new belief, one courageous action, and one more intentional day can completely change your future. I hope this episode reminds you that you were never meant to live an average life. You were born to do something great, and that journey begins with the person you choose to become today.

18 July 2026, 8:00 am - 17 minutes 42 secondsJohn Maxwell's #7 Law of Leadership: The Law of Respect
📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me.
People don't follow titles. They follow strength, clarity, conviction, and most of all, character. Respect is earned long before loyalty is ever given.
This is the Season One finale of our series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, and Law #7 is the Law of Respect: people naturally follow leaders stronger than themselves. That doesn't mean louder. It doesn't mean more dominant. It means people are drawn to leaders who carry substance.
John breaks down the six ways leaders earn genuine respect and gives two acid tests that will tell you immediately whether your people truly respect you or whether they're just showing up. His framework for understanding why you can only attract leaders as strong as you are is one of the most clarifying things I've heard in any leadership conversation.
I close this one with something I come back to constantly in my own life and in my book Max Out Your Life: real confidence doesn't need to announce itself. It carries itself. People can feel when a leader is secure versus when they're compensating.
And the question I want you to sit with this week is the one that closes the season: are you trying to get respect, or are you becoming respectable? There is a world of difference between those two things.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
- Respect Is Not Requested. It Is Recognized: Why the leaders who chase respect consistently lose it, and what the ones who command it are actually doing differently.
- The Six Ways to Earn Respect: John's complete framework for building the kind of respect that makes people choose to follow you, and the one most leaders overlook entirely.
- You Attract Who You Are: Why the caliber of people around you right now is the most honest reflection of your leadership level, and what to do about it.
- The Two Acid Tests: The only two questions you need to answer to know immediately whether your people truly respect you as a leader.
- Real Confidence Carries Itself: Why the strongest leaders don't announce themselves, and how to build the kind of internal identity that people feel before you ever say a word.
Before we move into Season Two, John and I are doing something we have never done before. For the next two Thursdays, we are sitting down together to answer your questions from Season One! If you have been watching these laws and something hit you, challenged you, or left you wondering how to apply it in your life or your business, this is your moment. There is still time to submit your question. Click the link HERE right now to get it in front of John and me.
Tune in the next two Thursdays for the Q&A episodes, and then get ready because Season Two is coming, and it goes deeper into everything Season One built.

16 July 2026, 8:00 am - 55 minutes 25 secondsHow to Remake Yourself Feat. Ryan Kalish
He played in the big leagues, wore the Red Sox jersey, and had 14 surgeries trying to keep a dream alive. Then the career ended. And in the silence that followed, Ryan Kalish almost didn't make it through.
Ryan is not the kind of guest I typically have on this show. He doesn't have a bestselling book or a company that just crossed a hundred million. What he has is a story that stopped me cold on Instagram months ago. I was scrolling and I saw this guy on a street somewhere in the world, walking up to a man who was homeless, and he bathed him and gave him a haircut and got him some food. I thought: who is that? I looked him up. And I thought, "I have to have him on.
"Ryan brings something to this conversation that is rare: the honesty of a man who was at rock bottom and didn't dress it up. He talks about the dark thoughts after his career ended, the substances he used to self-soothe, the spiritual calling that kept finding him even when he ran from it, and the moment sitting by a river in Austin, Texas, where it all clicked.
He has now served orphans, refugees, and vulnerable people across Indonesia, Thailand, Uganda, India, Jordan, Tanzania, Egypt, and more, largely on his own dime. His 70-year-old father is his cameraman.
I ask Ryan questions I think most people are afraid to ask: what does it actually feel like to do this? Is it lonely? Is it worth it? What did you have to let go of to get here? And I push Ryan on whether the hit he gets from feeding someone who's starving compares to circling the bases after a home run. His answer stops the conversation.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
- What to do When You're Feeling Helpless: The reframe that unlocks everything for anyone sitting in a hard season wondering what to do next.
- Your Old Identity Has to Die: What Ryan had to pluck out of himself to make room for who he was becoming, and why the most painful part of reinvention is also the most necessary.
- You Don't Have to Be Qualified: Why the people least likely to think they can make a difference are exactly the ones who should
- Collective Consciousness: Learn about the only thing that will actually change the world at scale.
This is an episode you will share with everyone you know!

14 July 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 30 minutes8 Hidden Signs Your Ego is Slowly Ruining Your Life | Ed Mylett
What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances, but the masks you've been wearing?
In this mashup episode, I bring together four extraordinary conversations that all point to one life changing truth. You cannot experience real peace, fulfillment, or freedom until you stop trying to become someone else and start embracing who you truly are. So many of us spend our lives chasing success, approval, achievement, or perfection because we believe those things will finally make us feel worthy. But the truth is, no amount of money, recognition, or accomplishment can heal what we refuse to face inside ourselves. This episode is about dropping the ego, letting go of shame, and finally living from a place of authenticity.
Tom Papa and I have an honest conversation about the difference between confidence and ego, and why humility is actually one of the greatest strengths a person can develop. Lewis Howes shares one of the most vulnerable stories ever told on this show, revealing how years of hiding pain behind achievement kept him from experiencing true freedom. His courage reminds us that our greatest breakthroughs often begin the moment we stop pretending we have it all together. These conversations are powerful reminders that vulnerability is not weakness. It is where real strength begins.
You'll also hear an incredible conversation with Dr. G as we explore how shame becomes trapped in the body and silently shapes the way we think, react, and experience life. She explains why healing isn't about becoming someone new, but about reconnecting with who you've always been underneath the fear, the pain, and the conditioning. Then LeAnn Rimes opens up about navigating criticism, anxiety, and the pressure of living under the world's expectations while learning to define herself from the inside out instead of through other people's opinions. Her honesty is something every one of us can relate to, no matter where we are in life.
I believe one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is the freedom to stop performing and simply start living as your authentic self. The people who inspire us the most are rarely the ones who appear perfect. They are the ones who have the courage to be real. If you've been carrying shame, chasing approval, or believing that achievement will finally make you enough, this episode is your invitation to let that weight go. The world doesn't need another version of someone else. It needs the person you were created to be.
Key Takeaways:
- Why confidence and ego are completely different and how humility creates lasting success
- Tom Papa's perspective on balancing ambition with authenticity
- Lewis Howes' powerful lesson on removing the masks that keep us disconnected from ourselves
- Why vulnerability is one of the greatest strengths a leader can possess
- Dr. G's insights on how shame becomes stored in the body and how healing begins
- How LeAnn Rimes learned to separate her identity from criticism and public opinion
- Why seeking approval from others will never replace believing in yourself
- The freedom that comes from embracing your authentic self instead of chasing perfection
The greatest version of your life begins the moment you stop trying to earn your worth and start believing you already have it. My hope is that this episode gives you the courage to let go of the masks, trust who you really are, and step fully into the life you were created to live.

11 July 2026, 8:00 am - 17 minutes 37 secondsJohn Maxwell's #6 Law of Leadership: The Law of Solid Ground
📥 CLICK HERE to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me.
If people don't trust you, they may listen for a season. But they will never fully follow who you are.
Law #6 of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the Law of Solid Ground, and the principle is this: trust is the foundation of leadership. Everything else stands on it. Without it, every decision gets questioned, every motive gets doubted, and every relationship becomes fragile.
In this episode, John teaches this law with one of the most memorable frameworks in the entire series — a simple illustration that will change how you think about every decision you make as a leader and every interaction you have with the people around you. He also shares the story of a Wall Street Journal interview that stopped a reporter cold, and the answer he gave is one I think about constantly.
I open this episode with something that connects directly to John's teaching: why the promises you make to yourself are the foundation of everything else, and why the person you are in private is ultimately the leader people experience in public.
Here's what you'll gain from this episode:
- Change in Your Pocket: John's framework for understanding exactly how trust is built and lost, and the question every leader needs to ask themselves before their next meeting.
- There Is No Such Thing as Business Ethics: The story John told the Wall Street Journal and what it reveals about the only standard that actually holds up under pressure.
- Character Plus Competence: Why having great character but low competence still fails your team, and why one can never substitute for the other.
- The Integrity Test: John's single question that tells you immediately whether your leadership is getting stronger or weaker over time.
- Trust Is Built in Small Moments: Why the private decisions you make when no one is watching are the ones that determine whether people fully follow you or just show up.

9 July 2026, 8:00 am - 39 minutes 55 secondsHow to Stop Defining Yourself by Your Failures Feat. Dr. Nate Zinsser
You think you know what confidence is. You don't. Not yet.
I brought Dr. Nate Zinsser onto this show because what he teaches is unlike anything you have heard in any self-help book or motivational speech. He is the director of West Point's Performance Psychology Program. He has spent 30 years teaching the most elite military leaders, Olympic athletes, and pro sports teams in the world how to build real, unshakable confidence from the inside out. He is the psychologist behind Eli Manning's two Super Bowl victories over my Patriots, and I'll never forgive him for it.
But here is what got me. This is not about pumping yourself up. This is about rewiring your brain at the neurological level so that confidence becomes your default. And every single one of you can do it starting today.
Here is what you will gain from this episode:
- The Psychological Bank Account: Learn the exact exercise Dr. Zinsser gives every West Point cadet to build a foundation of confidence from the memories and experiences you already have
- The Five Minute Daily Practice: Discover the single most powerful mental training habit you can build, three questions at the end of every day that literally rewire your brain for confidence
- Temporary vs. Permanent: Understand how the most confident people in the world process setbacks differently and how to adopt their framework starting today
- You Are Not a Failure: Learn the most important distinction in this entire episode. You may have failed at something. That does not make you a failure. Dr. Zinsser explains how to stop letting that one lie destroy your confidence
- Preparation and Performance: Find out why the psychology of preparation and the psychology of performance are completely different and why confusing them is costing you
You have everything you need to start building your confidence today. No excuses. #Maxout!
