- 2 hours 1 minuteWhy Willpower Never Actually Changes You | Peter Crone
There's one reason your new habits never stick, and it has nothing to do with willpower.
Peter Crone has spent decades coaching PGA Tour golfers, Major League Baseball athletes, and top executives on the subconscious wiring behind their results, and he breaks down why force can override a habit but never an identity.
He explains why most relationships start as attachment and codependency instead of real love, why hatred is a wound you carry inside yourself, and why the story you keep telling about your pain is the thing keeping you stuck in it.
You'll hear why the mind isn't the brain, why you can't heal from the same level of consciousness that created the problem, and why chasing certainty is the exact thing keeping you anxious.
This conversation will change how you see the parts of yourself you've spent your whole life trying to fix.

You could hand two people a million dollars and one of them would be broke again within a year. The other builds a legacy. The difference has nothing to do with luck.
Anthony O'Neal, author of Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, walks through the five phases that took him from borrowing money for car speakers to building a real estate portfolio he pays for in cash.

This conversation gets honest fast. You'll hear what it actually felt like to write a will in your 30s, why his family assumed something was wrong the moment he brought it up, and the real reason his bank account resets to zero every few months even now.

17 August 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 36 minutesWhy No Is More Powerful Than Yes | Chris Voss
You've been taught that YES means you won. Chris Voss says it's usually the moment you get played.
The former lead FBI international kidnapping negotiator built a career proving the opposite of what most of us believe about persuasion. NO isn't rejection. It's the moment the real conversation starts. YES, more often than not, is a counterfeit answer people give just to get you off the phone.
Voss is the founder of The Black Swan Group and the author of Never Split the Difference, and in this conversation he breaks down the exact language that turns a stuck negotiation into a done deal. You'll hear the calibrated questions he used to save hostages, and the same questions people are now using in boardrooms and car dealerships.
He also gets specific. What to say when someone dismisses your price. How to ask for an upgrade without ever demanding one. Why the words you choose in the first nine minutes of any conversation decide how the rest of it goes.
This one will change how you hear the word NO for the rest of your life.
Chris’ Books:
Empathy and Understanding In Business
Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It
In this episode you will:
- Learn why a fast YES is usually a fake yes and how to spot it in real time
- Discover the calibrated question format Chris used in real FBI hostage negotiations

- Build a simple script for getting upgrades, discounts, and better deals anywhere

14 August 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 41 minutesBruce Lipton: The Program Running 95% of Your Life
You've been running on a program installed before you could even talk, and you had no say in writing it.
Cell biologist and former medical school professor Bruce Lipton spent his career studying epigenetics and quantum biology, and he says your subconscious recorded almost everything about how to live before age seven. That program runs 95% of your day on autopilot, and you're the one person who can't see it while it's playing.
Stress hormones don't just make you anxious. They shut down your immune system and reroute blood away from your gut, which is why kids get sick right before exams and adults get sick the moment a hard season finally ends.
Quantum physics says the material world you're so sure of is an illusion, and once that clicks, the way you see your relationships, enemies included, changes completely.
Bruce lays out the myths keeping humanity trapped in a cycle of self-destruction and the honeymoon shift that rewired his entire life after 40 years of running the wrong program. This is the science behind changing your story for good.
BOOKS:

In this episode you will:
- Learn why 95% of your day runs on subconscious autopilot and how that program got installed

- Recognize how quantum physics reveals the material world as an illusion and what that means for your relationships

12 August 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 22 minutesThe Grief Expert Who Discovered a Sixth Stage | David Kessler
Your grief is not the thing keeping you stuck. Running from it is.
David Kessler spent years working alongside Elisabeth Kubler-Ross before everything he taught got tested against his own life, when his son died unexpectedly and the grief expert became the one who needed help.
He talks about sitting in a grief group with his own books on the table and still not being able to say the words out loud. About discovering there is a stage past acceptance, one built on meaning instead of just getting through it.
You will hear why anger is often just pain wearing a disguise, why your triggers are actually a map back to what needs healing, and why the people who seem to have it all together are usually the ones running the hardest.
This conversation will change how you think about every hard thing you have survived and every hard thing still ahead.

10 August 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 29 minutesWhy Forced Positivity Is Making You Miserable | Susan David
Some feelings get labeled good. Others get labeled bad. That single belief might be running your entire life.
You'll hear why chasing happiness on command wears you down instead of building you up, and why the fastest path to resilience runs straight through the emotions you've been avoiding. Susan David, the psychologist and researcher behind the book Emotional Agility, has spent over two decades studying why some people bend under pressure and others don't.
She breaks down the difference between having an emotion and being owned by it, using a simple image you'll carry into your next hard day. You'll hear about the notebook she started writing in as a teenager that nobody else could read, and how her father answered the one question she couldn't stop asking him.
Susan and Lewis get into why negativity isn't always the enemy, how self bias quietly convinces you that other people were right about your limits, and what it actually takes to stop reacting and start responding.
You are not the feeling that showed up today. You are the whole sky it's passing through.

7 August 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 49 minutesHow Jesse Cole Turned Baseball Into a Billion Dollar Show
He slept in his socks on a garage floor because it was too filthy to touch. That was Jesse Cole eight years ago, broke, sleeping on an air mattress, betting everything on a wooden bat baseball team nobody wanted.
Jesse is the founder of Fans First Entertainment and the man behind the Savannah Bananas, the "Find Your Yellow Tux" author who turned a dying college summer league into a movement that now plays in front of millions.
He explains the moment he realized baseball itself was broken and why he studies Walt Disney more than any business book. He also opens up about the night his wife got a text from a birth mother on Mother's Day that changed their family forever.
You'll hear how a bat trickster became a starting first baseman and how a Broadway A-lister ended up pitching in front of 80,000 fans. Jesse still signs autographs until the very last fan leaves, every single night.

5 August 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 13 minutesThe Trauma That Hurts People Most (And Never Gets Named) | Patrick Teahan
A calm, healthy relationship can feel more dangerous to you than the chaos you grew up in.
That's hypervigilance. It hates the absence of a threat, so it manufactures one, even when you're finally safe. Patrick Teahan, a clinical social worker and childhood trauma educator, breaks down why your body still reacts like it's protecting a nine year old.
You're not overreacting. You're replaying. Teahan explains how most people experience the present entirely through the lens of childhood, filtering every text and every silence through wounds that happened decades ago.
This episode gets into inner child work, re-parenting, and the murky question of when going no contact with a parent is healing versus when it's avoidance. You'll hear what real boundaries look like when love and abuse get tangled together.
By the end, you'll understand why healing isn't about proving your parents wrong. It's about finally believing you were a good kid the whole time.
In this episode you will:
- Discover why your nervous system treats calm, safe relationships as a threat
- Learn Patrick's three-part healing framework of finishing business with your family of origin, re-parenting your inner child, and doing the deeper work of intimacy

- Explore when going no contact with a parent is genuine healing and when it becomes avoidance
- Uncover the link between childhood trauma, imposter syndrome, and your ability to manifest the life you want

3 August 2026, 7:00 am - 2 hours 15 minutesHow to Design a Life That Runs Without You | Rob Dyrdek
A clinical hypnotist told him the problem in one sentence. You don't believe, at a subconscious level, that you were meant to be successful.
That was Rob Dyrdek in his twenties, long before the professional skateboarder turned MTV star turned venture studio founder built a portfolio of brands and walked away from a run of exits. He tracks every minute of his day. He rates his life, his work, and his health on a scale of zero to ten, every single night.
What the data told him is not what you would expect. The discipline is not the reward. It is the entry fee.
He calls what he built the Machine Method, and he applies it to everything. Companies, relationships, health, a hundred-year plan for a family that does not exist yet.
The part that will stay with you is what he says about luck. He refuses to pretend he earned all of it, and he is unnervingly clear about what makes it show up more often. You are already designing your life. The only real question is whether you are doing it on purpose.
In this episode you will:
- Learn the Machine Method, the discovery to diligence to launch to scale process Rob uses to build and sell companies
- Discover why he rates his life, work, and health on a zero to ten scale every single day and what the correlation reveals
- Overcome the stuck stress that quietly drains your capacity long before you sit down to work
- Recognize the difference between failing with clarity and getting blindsided, and why one is survivable
- Build a life design where automation comes first, optimization never stops, and the process finally starts giving energy back

31 July 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 42 minutesThe Neuroscience Behind Why You Can't Manifest What You Want | Dr. James Doty
You're manifesting every single day. You're just doing it the wrong way.
That's according to Dr. James Doty, a Stanford neurosurgeon and neuroscientist who has spent decades studying what actually happens in your brain when you set an intention. His new book, Mind Magic, breaks down the neuroscience most manifestation advice leaves out completely.
Here's the block nobody talks about. It's not a lack of belief. It's fear. It's shame. It's insecurity running your nervous system without your permission, and it's keeping you stuck in survival mode instead of the state where real change actually happens.
Doty grew up in poverty with an alcoholic father and a mother who attempted suicide multiple times. A stranger in a magic shop taught him a technique that rewired how his brain worked, and decades later he's the one teaching it to brain surgeons and first responders.
This conversation gets into the exact mental shift between wanting something and needing it, why self criticism sabotages your relationships, and the small daily ritual Doty still uses to reset his nervous system every single morning.
Dr. Doty's books:
Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything
In this episode you will:
- Learn the neuroscience difference between hedonic happiness and lasting fulfillment
- Discover why fear and insecurity are the real blocks to manifesting anything
- Overcome limiting beliefs using the value tagging technique to reprogram your subconscious

29 July 2026, 7:00 am - 2 hours 5 minutesThe Childhood Question That's Secretly Running Your Life | Aaron Doughty
There's one childhood question that's secretly running your whole adult life.
Aaron Doughty asks it straight: who did you have to be as a kid to receive Mom or Dad's love? Whoever that was became the role you're still performing, the pattern you keep mistaking for your identity.
Aaron built a YouTube following of over a million people teaching exactly this kind of subconscious pattern work, and in this conversation he walks through his SHIFT framework for breaking free of people pleasing, self reliance, and the need to be liked.
You'll hear why the dark side of people pleasing is buried anger, why setting a boundary can make you look like the bad guy before it makes you free, and why someone else's tension was never actually your job to manage.
Aaron also opens up about losing his mom, the message she sent him two hours before she died, and what he now believes real freedom actually feels like.
In this episode you will:
- Learn the SHIFT framework for breaking the subconscious patterns that keep you stuck
- Discover why people pleasing is a childhood survival strategy, not a personality trait
- Recognize the difference between healing someone and enabling them
