In today’s episode, I’ll show you how using your own voice can immediately transform your mental and emotional state, elevate your focus, and help you lead yourself through any challenge.

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

What if aging didn’t have to mean slowing down or fading out—but instead became the most vibrant and meaningful chapter of your life? Too many people see 50 and beyond as a slow decline, but the truth is, the way you think, move, and care for your body can completely redefine how you experience your later years.

610: A Letter to My Kids (My Biggest Regrets)

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

Feelings of regret can be one of life’s heaviest burdens. I’m sure most people have choices and decisions that they’ve regretted in their lives, and I’m no different. But what I’ve learned is that regret doesn’t have to be a source of suffering; it can be one of our greatest teachers if we let it. In today’s episode, I thought I’d share a very personal letter that I recently wrote to my kids about the biggest regrets of my life. Things like all the precious moments that I’ve missed that I’ll never get back, and moving away from loved ones I wish I’d stayed close to. These...

609: The Song That Changed My Outlook On Life & Transformed My Marriage

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

I think most people would agree that music, and especially lyrics, is one of the most powerful forms of human expression. If you’ve ever heard a song that just resonated so strongly with what’s going on in your life and made you rethink what truly matters, I think you’ll relate to this episode. Today, I’m talking about a song from Teddy Swims that completely shifted my perspective on love, gratitude, and what’s most important in life. At the time, I was in the midst of a petty argument with my wife and dealing with conflict in my marriage. It was a great reminder that, in the...

608: Empower Your Body to Heal with Functional Medicine with Dr. Philip Oubre

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

What if the chronic medical issues that you’re struggling with are just being treated at a surface level and the real cause of the illness or autoimmune condition lies much deeper? The unfortunate reality is that traditional healthcare has forced us to accept medications and quick fixes that manage symptoms instead of resolving the root issue. Today’s guest is someone who I trust dearly and has helped me significantly improve my own health and cognitive function. Dr. Philip Oubre is my personal functional medicine doctor, a board-certified physician who helps patients uncover and heal the...

607: How to Live and Love Fully with John O'Leary

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

When life knocks us down or tragedy strikes us or our loved ones, it’s easy to think life is unfair and wonder, “Why me?” But what if your greatest challenges—past and present—are actually divine opportunities for growth and contribution? My good friend, John O’Leary, knows this better than most. At just 9 years old, a gas can exploded, burning 100% of his body, and he was given virtually zero chance of survival. Yet he not only survived, he thrived, and has shared his inspiring story with millions of people around the world. And if that wasn’t enough, his life story...

606: Stop Settling (The Mediocrity Intervention)

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

Do you ever find yourself going through life on autopilot—settling for routines, habits, and outcomes that fall short of what you truly want? Without even realizing it, we often accept mediocrity in our health, relationships, work, or personal growth by telling ourselves it’s “good enough” or “better than most.” When we look back on our lives, the last thing anyone wants is to be overwhelmed with regret, wishing we had done things differently, that we hadn’t settled for less, and instead lived in alignment with what mattered most. As a follow-up to last week’s episode,...

605: Identifying and Living What Matters Most

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

If someone asked you if your family, health, or relationships are your top priorities, you’d likely say, “Of course!”. But would your calendar or eating habits tell a different story? Today, I’m going to walk you through a simple three-step process to help you identify, affirm, and live in alignment with what matters most to you. This idea was inspired by a speech I gave at a mastermind, where I felt called to speak not about books or business, but about life’s most important priorities. I’ll share some of my own struggles with being hyper-focused on work and the powerful lessons I...

604: How to Grow and Monetize Your Personal Brand with Rory Vaden

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

When most personal brands fail to achieve their full potential, it’s not because the message isn’t valuable; it’s generally because the focus is diluted, the strategy is scattered, and the mission gets lost in the noise. Most entrepreneurs are trying to be everywhere at once, chasing multiple income streams, or mistake branding for self-promotion. The result? Limited results and a message that never reaches the people who need it most. And as you’ll hear from today’s guest, “The Best Form of Marketing Is A Changed Life.” Rory Vaden is a Hall of Fame keynote speaker,...

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

If there’s one hidden force sabotaging your health, happiness, relationships, energy, and productivity, it’s your emotions. Most of us were never taught how to manage them, which leaves us stressed, reactive, and held back from the life we want. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the key to changing that. My guest today is Dr. Travis Bradberry—bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0 and The New Emotional Intelligence, with over 5 million books sold and a following of 2.6 million on LinkedIn.

Today you’ll learn not only why all of us often struggle to make time for self-care, but what you can do right now to double down on your self-care practices (without letting them consume your day) and face your biggest challenges in a meaningful, manageable way.
