Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
Isn’t it easier to feel grateful when life is going well? Everything seems simpler when things are great personally, professionally, financially, and your relationships are thriving. But what about when life gets tough? Maybe you’re dealing with a broken heart, struggling to pay your bills, or facing a loved one’s hospitalization. In those overwhelming moments, practicing gratitude can feel impossible, but it’s also when we need it most. In today’s episode, I’m exploring why heartfelt gratitude has its greatest power not when life is easy, but when life is hard—and how to...

When you see someone talking to themself in public, your first thought might be that person is a little crazy and maybe has mental health issues. But what if it’s actually one of the most powerful forms of self-leadership? 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. I’ll share a story about a close friend who inspired me with his daily “self-talk” practice, and how I came to realize he wasn’t acting crazy—he was actually being very...

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. Today, I’m joined by my friend and co-author of , Dwayne J. Clark. Dwayne is the CEO of Aegis Living and a longevity expert who’s spent 40 years studying the daily habits and mindset of over 80,000 people—many who’ve lived well into their 90s and beyond. In our...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

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,...

Today’s guest, CEO, entrepreneur and bestselling author, Chris Ducker, has built multiple successful companies and brands all over the world. After suffering a horrific burnout at the end of 2009, he set a goal to become a virtual CEO - and achieved it by November of 2010.
Now, nine years later, Chris has freedom in his business. He works an average of six hours a day, four days a week, helping others build virtual businesses like his.
At the core of his success is this fact: Chris has created his own personal brand, which he has applied to everything else he has ever aspired to create. As the founder of Youpreneur and the author of The Rise of the Youpreneur, he helps people shift their mindsets, cultivate great reputations, and truly serve the people who need them.
Today, you’re going to hear Chris’s speech that he gave at this past December’s Best Year Ever Blueprint LIVE Experience. He digs into his 3-step process to help entrepreneurs develop their personal brand, the power of having your own online community, and shares stories - from his own life and others - that show you why what he does works so well.
