- 1 hour 15 minutesStart With Yourself: The Mindset That Built an Empire | Emma Grede
Emma Grede's most surprising confession is that she never saw her childhood in East London as a disadvantage.
While raising her younger sisters, skipping school, and watching Oprah to find her blueprint for life, she was quietly building the belief that she was more capable than anyone around her. That unshakable self-trust is the thread running through everything she has built, from Good American to SKIMS to the Obama Foundation board.
For anyone who has ever let fear, self-doubt, or the weight of other people's opinions keep them stuck, Emma's story is a direct challenge to reconsider what is actually holding you back.
This conversation will show you how to stop measuring yourself against everyone else's standards, put money at the center of your plan without shame, manage your emotions like a skill rather than a sentence, and build a life that is entirely your own design.
The Greatness Playbook: The Self-Led Success Edition
Emma’s book: Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life
In this episode you will:
- Discover how to reframe your hardest life experiences as the very thing that makes you exceptional rather than the thing that holds you back.
- Learn why putting money at the center of your goals is not greed but the clearest path to freedom, and how to stop apologizing for it.
- Understand the practical steps Emma used to manage anger and emotional reactivity starting at age nineteen, and how that discipline became one of her greatest competitive advantages.
- Break free from the trap of other people's opinions by building a personal scorecard rooted in your own values, not what the world expects of you.
- See how to think in seasons so you can go all in when it counts, protect what matters most, and make tradeoffs without guilt.

13 April 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 3 minutesHow to Protect Your Brain and Live Longer | Dr. Andrew Weil
Dr. Andrew Weil drops a counterintuitive truth right out of the gate: avoiding head trauma and quitting smoking are the two most powerful things you can do to prevent cognitive decline, yet almost no one talks about them in the brain health conversation.
Most of us are chasing the latest supplement or biohack while ignoring the chronic stress quietly flooding our brains with cortisol and damaging the very region responsible for memory and emotion.
Dr. Weil connects the dots between what you eat, how you breathe, who you spend time with, and how long your brain stays sharp. His 4-7-8 breathing technique alone has generated millions of views worldwide and outperforms anxiety medication in his clinical experience.
More than any single protocol, though, he returns again and again to one root cause behind poor relationships, chronic illness, and unfulfilled potential: not yet learning how to genuinely love yourself.
Dr. Weil’s books:
- Mind Over Meds
- Fast Food, Good Food
- True Food
- Spontaneous Happiness
- Why Our Health Matters
- Healthy Aging
- The Healthy Kitchen
- Eating Well for Optimum Health
- Eight Weeks to Optimum Health
- Spontaneous Healing
- Natural Health, Natural Medicine
- From Chocolate To Morphine
- Health and Healing
In this episode you will:
- Discover the two most overlooked factors driving cognitive decline and what to cut from your life immediately to protect your brain
- Learn the free, 60-second breathing technique Dr. Weil calls the most powerful anti-anxiety method he has ever found
- Understand how your gut microbiome connects to your brain health and which fermented foods rebuild it most effectively
- Identify the foods and environmental toxins doing the most damage to your long-term cognitive function
- Explore why loving yourself is not a soft idea but the actual foundation of healthy relationships, emotional resilience, and lasting well-being

8 April 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 52 minutesWhy You're Still Broke (And It Has Nothing to Do With Money) | Myron Golden
Myron Golden drops a revelation early in this conversation that stops you in your tracks: if you are broke, you are not spiritually bankrupt, you are spiritually deceived.
Most people carry a hidden belief that money is evil and that having it requires doing something wrong, a lie so deeply embedded that it quietly sabotages every financial decision they make.
Myron connects that deception to universal struggles around worthiness, fear of success, and the painful tension between faith and financial ambition. He then lays out the practical path forward: awareness is the first move, because you cannot change what you cannot see, and most people are blind to the abundance already surrounding them.
Whether you are stuck at your first dollar or trying to break from six figures to seven, Myron shows you that the ceiling is never a money problem, it is always an identity problem, and the shift starts with how you complete the sentence "I am..."

- Shift your entire sales approach by understanding the difference between convincing and persuading

- Break the "I am not" identity trap that keeps you locked out of the abundance already available to you

6 April 2026, 7:00 am - 2 hours 28 minutesHow to Develop Unbreakable Self-Discipline | Shi Heng Yi
Shi Heng Yi has spent nearly four decades studying and teaching the Shaolin philosophy of self-mastery, and his core insight may be the most honest thing you hear all year: the reason you are not where you want to be is not bad luck, bad timing, or lack of talent.
It is one of five ancient hindrances operating in your mind right now, without your awareness.
So many people feel the pull of desire for things that do not serve them, carry ill will they cannot explain, move through the day in a fog of restlessness, or quietly doubt whether any of it is even possible for them.
These are not character flaws or signs of weakness. They are predictable mental states that have been mapped and studied for thousands of years, and you can learn to see them clearly.
In this conversation, Shi Heng Yi teaches you his four-step RAIN method for catching a hindrance in the moment and moving through it with discipline rather than reaction. Whether you are building something, healing something, or simply trying to show up fully in your own life, this episode gives you the internal tools to stop being ruled by your mind and start leading it.
Shi Heng Yi’s book Shaolin Spirit: The Way to Self-Mastery
In this episode you will:
- Identify the five mental hindrances that silently block your goals and learn why every human being faces all five of them
- Understand why your intention behind a goal determines whether you will sustain it or abandon it when things get hard
- Apply the four-step RAIN method to recognize and move through disruptive mental states in real time
- Discover why gratitude is not optional when it comes to building a life worth living
- Learn how to calibrate your vision so it is large enough to pull you forward and grounded enough to act on today

3 April 2026, 7:00 am - 2 hours 50 secondsThe Real Reason You Can't Stop Self-Sabotage | Dr. K
Dr. K, the Harvard-trained psychiatrist known for his work with gamers and high performers, drops a truth that reframes everything: your negative identity isn't a flaw — it's your mind's attempt to protect you from failure.
Most people go through life trying to upgrade from a loser identity to a winner identity, never realizing that both are traps that warp how you see reality.
If you've ever wondered why motivation disappears the moment a goal feels out of reach, or why doing everything right still leaves you feeling empty, this conversation answers it in a way that actually makes sense. Dr. K breaks down the neuroscience of why you can't control your thoughts, why goals can secretly fuel procrastination, and why the most powerful thing you can do happens entirely inside your head.
By the end, you'll see that the path to real change isn't about believing harder or wanting it more, it's about understanding how your mind actually works and learning to respond differently to what it generates.
In this episode you will:
- Discover why your negative identity is protecting you and why trying to eliminate it is the wrong move
- Understand the critical difference between being capable of something and believing you can do it, and why confusing the two keeps people stuck
- Learn why goals can actually kill your motivation and what to focus on instead
- Recognize that you can't control your thoughts, only how you respond to them, and why that distinction changes everything
- Apply Dr. K's framework for processing setbacks without letting them collapse your sense of self

1 April 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 40 minutesHow Faith, Neuroscience, and Meaning Work Together | Arthur Brooks
Arthur Brooks opens with a startling truth: most of us are living inside a simulation, sacrificing meaning for dopamine hits from our devices. He explains that your brain has two operating systems, the ME self and the I self, and technology has hijacked the wrong one.
Through neuroscience and ancient wisdom, Brooks maps the exact pathway from phone-enslaved to fully present, showing how boredom is not the enemy but the gateway to transcendence.
The conversation moves from digital detox protocols to the four-stage neurochemistry of falling in love, then lands on something deeper: why success never delivers the happiness it promises. Brooks shares the specific daily rituals that transform relationships, the surprising intimacy of praying with your partner, and why your smartphone on the dinner table literally blocks your ability to bond with others.
This is not another self-help conversation. This is the operating manual for being human in an age designed to keep you distracted.

30 March 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 26 minutesThe Hidden Cost of Success Nobody Talks About | Rainn Wilson
Rainn Wilson built one of the most beloved characters in television history and still woke up most days feeling like he was not enough.
He opens up about the painful truth that becoming famous on The Office only amplified the emptiness he already carried, moving from a three on his inner peace scale before the show to barely a four or five during its peak seasons.
Rainn traces how unprocessed grief, ego, addiction, and a relentless hunger for more kept him stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction no amount of success could break. He shares how it was not until his late forties that he genuinely began to believe the words he had been saying for a decade, that he was enough, and how the death of his father, deep therapy work, and a committed spiritual practice finally gave him the foundation he had been chasing through achievement.
This conversation is a permission slip to stop measuring your inner life by outer results and start tending the garden inside yourself that no one can take from you.
Rainn’s books:
In this episode you will:
- Discover why fame, money, and success made Rainn equally as unhappy as being broke, and what that reveals about the real source of contentment.
- Understand how ungrieved pain silently drives the ambition, addiction, and comparison that keep you stuck in cycles of dissatisfaction.
- Learn the spiritual framework Rainn uses, drawn from Buddhism, the Baha'i Faith, and positive psychology, to move through disappointment without carrying it forward.
- Recognize the difference between saying an affirmation and actually beginning to believe it, and what consistent inner work looks like over years, not weeks.
- Explore how reparenting your inner child and building a daily gratitude and contemplation practice can shift your baseline from chronic discontent to genuine peace.

27 March 2026, 7:00 am - 43 minutes 27 secondsEverything You Want In Life Comes When You Let Go | Lewis Howes
Lewis opens with a confession: he built a successful business, a massive audience, and a full life on paper and still couldn't enjoy any of it because he was building from fear, not freedom.
That same trap is what keeps so many driven people stuck, running faster on a treadmill that leads nowhere. When you tie your identity to outcomes and try to control every result, every person's opinion, and every timeline, you cut yourself off from the very abundance you're chasing.
In this solo episode, Lewis walks you through five specific things to release, from the outcome obsession to the timeline pressure society puts on you, so you can finally stop suffering through your own story.
The shift is not about working less; it is about moving with more peace, more clarity, and more faith than you have ever allowed yourself to have.

Dr. Sue Morter discovered something most people spend their lives ignoring: the body is not just a physical object but an energetic system carrying the suppressed emotions, unresolved wounds, and hidden beliefs that quietly shape every area of your life.

That personal crisis became the doorway to a practice that has since helped thousands of people worldwide break free from pain, disease, burnout, and stuck patterns.

23 March 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 8 minutesHow Generational Trauma Is Secretly Running Your Life | Dr. Mariel Buqué
Dr. Mariel Buqué opens with a revelation that stops you in your tracks: trauma isn't just something that happened to you, it is something that was passed down to you at the genetic level, beginning at conception.
Most people move through life in a low-grade survival state, reacting to triggers they cannot explain, carrying the emotional weight of ancestors who never got the chance to heal. This is why depression, anxiety, and a persistent sense of not being enough feel so impossible to shake, they were wired in long before you had any say.
Dr. Buqué walks you through how to regulate your nervous system daily, how to challenge the limiting beliefs that run your life, and why healing your body first unlocks your ability to think, create, and finally thrive.
The work is hard and it bends you into uncomfortable shapes, but today is always a good day to start breaking the cycle.
