You’re in for a very special conversation today. I’ve got my man Brett Klika back in the IMPACT house. You may remember him from Episode 327 where he shared his raw, heart-wrenching story of love, loss, and life after the sudden passing of his wife, Lisa. That was nearly three years ago. And today, Brett’s back—and this time, he’s bringing some incredible news, wisdom, and HOPE. Brett has just released his brand-new book Energy 100, and let me tell you—it is powerful. It’s already a bestseller and it’s changing lives left and right. This isn’t just a book;...

I actually get on the whiteboard during today’s podcast episode and coach you on my “3-Circle Check-in” or sometimes what I refer to as my “3-M Framework” that WILL help you personally & professionally.
Specifically In this episode, I coach you through:
- How to stop trying to be everything to everyone.
- Check out my “3-Circle Check-in” or “3M Framework”: MISSION. MARGIN. ME.
- How to best assess YOUR energy, mindset, and physical health (ME).
- How aligned you are with your PURPOSE (MISSION).
- How your finances and financial bandwidth doing (MARGIN).
- And how to make practical, strategic changes in your life & biz right NOW based on where you want to go and what your mission and vision dictates.
We’re going deep on personal leadership. I’m bringing the whiteboard heat today. Whether you're listening during a workout, a walk, or a plane ride—this is a good “heart-to-heart” talk on some specific things you can do to recapture your mind, body, soul…and LIFE!
No more trying to be everything for everyone. Get back to YOU! The best version of YOU. Let’s be sure to create margin, stay on mission, and let’s create MASSIVE impact together!
