657: How Chris Wark Beat Stage 3 Cancer Without Chemo and Healed Naturally (REPLAY)
If your doctor said chemotherapy is your only option, would you automatically say yes? If you or someone you love is facing a cancer diagnosis, or you simply want to do everything you can to prevent it, this conversation may completely change the way you think about healing, health, and the questions you should be asking right now. Today, I’m joined by my good friend, Chris Wark. Chris was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at just 26 years old, shortly after getting married. After surgery, his doctors told him chemotherapy was required, but Chris chose a different path. He radically changed his diet, leaned into his faith, and over the last two decades has remained cancer-free. He later turned that experience into , a platform that has helped millions of people find hope, guidance, and practical support. In our conversation, we talked about what it really means to take ownership of your health, especially when the stakes couldn’t be higher. We explore the mindset shift from being a passive patient to becoming an active participant in your healing, along with the role faith, nutrition, and lifestyle can play when you’re facing one of the most difficult moments of your life. We also dive into the questions many people never think to ask their oncologist, why Chris believes healing begins with believing it’s possible, and how forgiveness, gratitude, and reducing stress can impact your health in powerful ways. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Chris Wark Was A Pivotal Resource For Me Life Isn’t Fair: Chris Wark’s Stage 3 Cancer Diagnosis Trusting God & Finding Meaning in Hardship A Prayer Is Answered: A Path to Reject Chemo Healing Is Possible: The “Beat Cancer Mindset” How to Have Better Conversations With Your Doctor Questions Everyone with Cancer Should Be Asking Diet Tips & Daily Habits That Reduce Cancer Risks The Second Leading Cause of Cancer Is Surprising How to Connect & Learn From Chris Anger Is Toxic But Forgiveness Heals Pain Practicing Gratitude Is The Ultimate Stress Reliever Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

656: Staying Motivated When You Feel Anything But

656: Staying Motivated When You Feel Anything But
Do you struggle to keep yourself motivated throughout the year? I certainly do. In fact, I’ve been struggling with it today. Whether it’s perfectionism, fear of the unknown, or simply feeling exhausted, there are plenty of days when we don’t feel motivated to take the actions necessary to achieve our goals. In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I call the four cornerstones of motivation: clarity, commitment, discipline, and faith. I’ll explain why you shouldn't wait around hoping to feel motivated, and why learning to act your way into feeling can help you generate the motivation you need to move forward. I’ll also share how I use these principles in my own life when I’m struggling with perfectionism or stepping outside my comfort zone, why your feelings can be unreliable indicators of what you should do, and how maintaining unwavering faith can keep you moving forward when your effort hasn’t produced the results you hoped for yet. KEY TAKEAWAYS Motivation is a system you generate, not a feeling you wait for. The four cornerstones of motivation: clarity, commitment, discipline, and faith. How to “act your way into feeling” when motivation is lacking. Real commitment starts when you stop negotiating with yourself. How discipline builds confidence by following through on your commitments. Why unwavering faith is the belief that consistent actions will lead to a desired outcome.

655: What to Do When Your Identity Stops Working with Ruby Fremon

655: What to Do When Your Identity Stops Working with Ruby Fremon
Sometimes the tools that have always helped you manage stress suddenly stop working, and keeping a positive mindset isn't enough. When that happens, the answer isn't to push harder or immediately look for the silver lining. Sometimes you need to acknowledge what you're going through and allow yourself time to get the support you need. Today's guest, Ruby Fremon, knows firsthand what that feels like. Ruby is an author, coach, and someone I've had the privilege of knowing for years. She's also the author of and has spent the last several years studying Somatic Experiencing. She works with high-achieving leaders who have reached a point where they know they can't keep living and leading the way they have been. In 2022, Ruby was at the highest point of her career when a traumatic event involving the death of her dog triggered a very unfortunate series of events. Over the next few years, her mental and physical health declined; she stepped away from the business and identity she had spent years building, and eventually reached a point where she was contemplating taking her own life. In our conversation, Ruby shares what helped her survive the darkest season of her life and explains why healing doesn't always mean immediately finding the positive in what happened. We also talk about how trauma can affect the way you experience life, practical ways to build your capacity to move through difficult emotions, and how losing the person you thought you were can ultimately help you reconnect with who you really are. KEY TAKEAWAYS What happens when the regular life tools stop working Why healing doesn't always begin by finding the silver lining The importance of acknowledging what you're actually going through How Somatic Experiencing can help build emotional resilience True regulation means increasing your capacity to experience emotions How your identity is usually shaped by past experiences How A dark night of the soul or season can challenge your sense of self Why high achievers need to stop trying to do everything alone Finding the right support can change your healing journey Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

654: Mom of 4 Goes from Civil Engineer to $300K Content Creator with Stephanie Fisher
Have you ever had a dream that you gave up on because you tried and it didn’t work out right away? One of the biggest mistakes someone can make is assuming that failing once or twice is proof that they’re not capable of achieving their goals. In most cases, we simply haven’t given ourselves enough time to learn, grow, and become the person capable of making that dream a reality. Today, I’m joined by Stephanie Fisher, a mother of four and former civil engineer who completely reinvented herself as a full-time content creator. Just over a year ago, Stephanie was waking up at 4:00 AM, raising four young kids, working a full-time engineering job, and trying to build an audience on Instagram. After months of making virtually nothing from her content, her consistency eventually paid off, and she’s now on track to earn 3X what she used to make as an engineer. In our conversation, Stephanie shares how she went from roughly 100 followers to building a successful business and creating more time and financial freedom for her family. We also talk about the pivotal moments that changed the trajectory of her life, the unexpected opportunity that came from losing her engineering job, and how pursuing her dream has allowed her to make a bigger impact while being more present with her family. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s never too late to reinvent yourself and pursue a dream. Any skill can be learned if you put in the reps. Focus on the actions that you can control, not the results. Give yourself enough time to become great at something How Stephanie’s discipline helped adapt her morning routine. Consistency matters even when you’re not seeing immediate results. How to use other people’s success to keep yourself motivated. The importance of self-care when life feels overwhelming.

653: How to Stay Laser-Focused On Your Dreams (Even When Everything Goes Wrong) with Seth & Tori Bolt
One thing I’ve learned in life is that achieving your biggest goals rarely happens exactly the way you think it will. Things go wrong. Plans fall apart. You get knocked down, and sometimes you have to start all over again. But just because the path changes doesn’t mean you have to give up on the vision. And today’s guests have gone through all of that and ultimately built what my wife and I consider sacred ground—a place that has taken our marriage and relationship to a whole new level. Today, I’m joined by Seth and Tori Bolt, the husband-and-wife team behind . Seth spent 23 years as a founding member of the Grammy-nominated band before stepping away to start a family and focus on the business he and Tori built together. What started as a treehouse Seth built with his dad for their honeymoon eventually became an 11-year entrepreneurial journey filled with incredible highs and several brutal setbacks. Despite all of the challenges, they now have a world-renowned mountaintop destination designed to help couples recharge, reconnect and deepen their love for each other. In our conversation, Seth and Tori share their incredible journey building Bolt Farm Treehouse, along with the setbacks and sacrifices they faced along the way. We also talk about staying grounded through seasons of uncertainty, creating unbelievable experiences that bring people closer together, and the lessons they’ve learned from more than a decade of pursuing their dream. KEY TAKEAWAYS How Bolt Farm Treehouse helps couples reconnect with each other Staying laser focused is essential to achieving your biggest goals How to keep going when your original plan falls apart Building in public with authenticity helps people connect with your journey Be at peace by saying no to opportunities that distract from your mission How the Miracle Morning helped Seth and Tori persevere Learn from mentors instead of figuring everything out yourself How delaying gratification leads to achieving bigger goals Finding purpose and opportunity in your greatest adversity Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

652: How to Build Your Network to Achieve Your Goals with Jayson Gaignard
Nobody achieves anything meaningful alone. Yet, we’re led to believe that success means being “self-made.” The truth is, the relationships you surround yourself with can either keep you where you are or help bridge the gap between where you are today and the person that you aspire to become. Today, I’m joined by my good friend Jayson Gaignard, author of and founder of Mastermind Talks. When Jayson got married, he had only two people at his bachelor party: his brother and brother-in-law. But today, he’s created an extraordinary network of entrepreneurs and leaders and just recently sold 20,000 copies of his book on Kickstarter, despite having roughly 2,500 Instagram followers. In our conversation, Jayson shares three simple questions to help you intentionally decide who belongs in your life and why generosity is the foundation of meaningful relationships. He also explains why asking someone “How can I help you?” doesn’t actually help the person you want to help, how to make people feel genuinely seen, and how you can build relationships with extraordinary people even if you don’t have money, status, influence, or an existing network. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Nobody Is Truly Self-Made How To Intentionally Design Your Peer Group Three Questions For Choosing The Right Relationships Generosity Is The Foundation Of Meaningful Relationships Six Ways To Make People Feel Genuinely Seen Why Gratitude Gains Power Through Witness Deepen Relationships By Showing Up When It Matters How To Build A Network Without Money Or Status One Cold Email Can Open Life-Changing Doors Use Service To Get Into The Right Rooms Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

650: Mark Allen Ruegg: A Living Miracle
What would you do if you were told you were diagnosed with cancer and had only 4 to 6 months to live? That’s exactly what happened to today’s guest. Two and a half years ago, Mark Allen Ruegg was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had already spread to his liver and lymph nodes. His doctors hoped chemotherapy could stabilize the cancer and give him more time, but Mark wasn't willing to accept that as the best possible outcome. He wanted to do everything in his power to beat the odds. After discovering the documentary Heal, Mark began taking an integrative approach that combined conventional treatment with major changes to his diet, meditation, spirituality, exercise, stress, and mindset. Within months, his scans showed no evidence of cancer, and even his doctor was stunned when he could no longer find the tumor in Mark's pancreas. But Mark's story didn't end there. Three months ago, a tumor was discovered in his pancreas again. The fears and unknowns came back with a vengeance, sending him into what he describes as a deep, dark place. In our conversation, Mark shares how that recurrence forced him to confront his fear, return to the fundamentals of his Healing Recipe, and recognize the missing ingredient he needed most: unwavering faith. We talked about why healing doesn't have to be an either/or choice between conventional and holistic medicine, what it means to surrender without giving up, and how the combination of unwavering faith and extraordinary effort can help you navigate even the most difficult moments of your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Mark refused to accept a terminal prognosis Combining conventional treatment with an integrative approach The lifestyle changes Mark made after his diagnosis How Mark's cancer disappeared after his initial diagnosis Why Mark believes fear became his greatest challenge What happened when Mark's cancer returned Unwavering faith and extraordinary effort leads to results How to get Mark's Healing Recipe of seven ingredients The journey to becoming someone who fears less Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

648: The Miracle Mind: How Five Minutes Each Morning Can Rewire Your Brain—and Your Life
The first few minutes after you wake up are far more important than you even realize. Before your mind gets flooded with emails, notifications, news, and everyone else’s priorities, there’s a window that will influence your thoughts, emotions, and how you approach the rest of your day. Today, I’m joined by my good friend Jim Kwik, a world-renowned coach and expert in memory, learning, and cognitive performance.

647: Freedom From Suffering with Peter Crone (REPLAY)
08/05/2026
647: Freedom From Suffering with Peter Crone (REPLAY)
What if the limitations you believe about yourself aren't the truth but a prison of your mind's design? Today, we'll explore how our deepest struggles—feelings of fear, not being enough, or childhood trauma—are rooted not in reality but in subconscious stories we've come to accept as true. Those invisible narratives keep us in a state of suffering and prevent us from reaching our full potential. Peter Crone, known as The Mind Architect, has helped world-class athletes, executives, and everyday people rewire their subconscious beliefs and unlock "the power of infinite possibility." Having tragically lost both of his parents by the age of 17, Peter learned firsthand the pain of loss and the impact of unconscious trauma. But rather than letting it define him, he used it as a catalyst to understand the inner architecture of the mind, and now helps others break free from their own constraints. In this conversation, Peter guides me through a live coaching experience and unpacks the nature of emotional suffering, the origins of limiting beliefs, and why healing starts with awareness. If you've ever felt stuck, burdened by the events in your past, or disconnected from your true self, this episode is a masterclass on navigating negative emotions and returning to a place of freedom, love, and possibility. KEY TAKEAWAYS How early life trauma wires subconscious beliefs that shape our identity. The difference between emotional pain and psychological suffering. Why affirmations often don’t work—and the language used to dissolve limiting beliefs. The 10 “primal prisons” that keep us stuck in patterns of fear, shame, and inadequacy. How to access inner freedom through self-inquiry and conscious awareness. A powerful mindset shift for men and women around emotional expression and empathy.

646: What You Want Is Inside of You with Hal Elrod
Why is it that we’ll spend most of our lives believing that happiness, peace, and fulfillment are waiting for us somewhere in the future? Maybe it'll happen after the next promotion, once our finances improve, or when our relationships get better. But what if everything you've been searching for has been not only available to you, but has been inside of you all along? In today's episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest assumptions we've been conditioned to believe: our circumstances determine our emotional well-being. I'll share why lasting peace isn't something we create by changing our lives, but something we uncover by changing our consciousness. I'll also explain why resisting reality is the true source of emotional suffering, how accepting reality can create freedom instead of complacency, and why learning to choose your mental and emotional state consciously may be the greatest superpower you can develop. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why everything you're searching for already exists within you. The hidden cost of resisting reality instead of accepting it. How to consciously choose your mental and emotional state. Why inner peace creates better decisions, relationships, and results. A simple perspective shift that can transform every moment of your life.

645: The AI Framework That Will Change Everything For You with Geoff Woods
A year ago, I had serious concerns about the impact AI could have on humanity. Today, I use it in nearly every area of my life, from my business to my marriage and even with my kids. But learning how to use AI effectively requires a lot more thought and intention, and treating it less like a smarter version of Google. Today, I’m sitting down with my good friend Geoff Woods. Geoff is the author of the #1 international bestseller . He helps individuals and executive teams use AI not as a replacement for human thinking, but as a thought partner that helps them solve problems, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions. In our conversation, Geoff shares his CRIT framework and explains how it can completely transform the way you use AI. He also shares how he created an AI marriage coach and how his executive assistant used AI to completely redefine her role, earning two promotions and putting herself on a path to becoming Geoff's COO. Whether you're skeptical of AI or already using it every day, this episode will challenge the way you think about what's possible.

639: How To Become Irreplaceable In The Age Of AI with Jeff Burningham
AI is evolving faster than most of us can comprehend. And for many people, it’s creating a very real fear about the future. If machines can outthink us and eventually outwork us, what does that mean for our careers, our purpose, and even our identity? Perhaps an even better question is: what does it mean to be human in the age of AI? Today, I’m joined by Jeff Burningham. Jeff is an entrepreneur, investor, and author who has built more than a dozen companies valued at over a billion dollars and recently released his powerful new book, Unlike most conversations about AI that focus on productivity, efficiency, or making more money, Jeff explores something much deeper: how AI can actually help humanity reconnect with wisdom, presence, empathy, and the qualities that make us uniquely human. In our conversation, Jeff explains why AI is not just a technological disruption, but a spiritual challenge and a mirror reflecting humanity back to itself. We talk about fear, optimism, consciousness, emotional regulation, and why wisdom—not intelligence—may become the most valuable human trait moving forward. If you’ve felt uncertain or overwhelmed about where humanity is headed, this episode will challenge the way you think about both AI and yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why AI Forces Us To Reevaluate Humanity Why AI Is A Spiritual Challenge For Humanity The Human Qualities AI Can Never Replicate Jeff Addresses The Fears People Have About AI Fear vs. Optimism In The Age Of AI Using AI As A Bridge Back To Human Connection How To Use AI Wisely And Mindfully The Real Challenge Facing Humanity Right Now The Choice Is To Focus On Who You Choose To Be Simple Questions That Reveal Your Awareness What Jeff Hopes Readers Take Away From His Book The Conversation About AI Humanity Needs To Have Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

The truth is, almost everyone struggles with procrastination. It keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns, convinces us to wait for the “perfect” time to take action, and gets in the way of what we truly want. Whether it’s starting a business, improving your health, writing a book, or having a difficult conversation, procrastination often becomes a roadblock between who we are and who we want to become. Today, I’m joined by Jon Acuff.

His ability to simplify complicated ideas into practical frameworks has helped millions of people create meaningful change in their personal and professional lives.

We unpack the mindset patterns that keep people stuck, the hidden reasons why we procrastinate, and why so many people mistakenly believe they “work best under pressure.” Jon also shares a 4-step framework that makes someone “procrastination proof,” along with practical ways to overcome perfectionism and finally stop delaying the life you truly want.

Today, we’re exploring how your thoughts shape beliefs, how those beliefs influence your reality, and why making positive changes often begins with the language you use toward yourself. Lucy Osborne is the global leader of intenSati, a movement and mindfulness practice that combines spoken affirmations with physical exercise, and the voice behind the guided S.A.V.E.R.S. practices in the Miracle Morning app. Over a decade ago, she walked into her first intenSati class believing that if she could just get smaller, her life would finally get better. By the end of the class, she experienced real joy and realized that nothing had changed on the outside, only the input she was feeding her mind. In our conversation, Lucy explains why the brain works a lot like ChatGPT, finding evidence for whatever you feed it. She explains how a belief is simply a repeated thought and why you don’t have to believe a new affirmation before you start saying it. We also talk about how guided S.A.V.E.R.S. can help you interrupt morning routines on autopilot, shift your inner voice, and begin creating more joy, confidence, and intention in your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Defining intenSati and Its Health Benefits Lucy’s First Life-Changing intenSati Experience A Belief Is Just a Thought Repeated Bringing S.A.V.E.R.S. to Life Through Guided Practice A Live Demo of intenSati with Lucy How Your Words Impact Your Kids Getting the Most From the Miracle Morning App Where to Connect & Learn More With Lucy Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Today’s guest, J. Brad Britton, is one of my earliest mentors and the co-author of the new book, . J. Brad’s son Sam was diagnosed with autism at age two, and he remained largely non-speaking for most of his life.

You’ll also understand why this conversation is about so much more than autism, what it means to move beyond assumptions and truly see someone, and why becoming a more patient, present, empathetic human being may be one of the most powerful transformations any of us can experience.
