Success isn’t about complex strategies or overnight transformations—it’s built on small, consistent actions that add up over time. In this episode, I shared how the simplest habits, like practicing gratitude, following up, and staying committed to daily progress, can lead to massive results. Often, what’s easy to do is just as easy not to do, and that’s where most people fall short. By focusing on steady, intentional effort rather than quick wins, we create the momentum needed for long-term success.

The True Cost of Emotional Interference 37:15

לפני 8 hours37:15

37:15

In today’s episode, I break down a system I use to reset negative energy and turn it into aligned, purposeful action. I call it “Cancel, Clear, Connect,” and it’s a tool to shift the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious habits that quietly drain performance and create emotional expenses we don’t realize we’re paying. From internal spirals to inherited trauma, I explain how negativity can linger in thought loops and behaviors, and how to interrupt them before they compound. This method isn’t about chasing positivity. It’s about wiring your mindset to respond with clarity and confidence, especially when the pressure is on and the stakes are high.…

We talk about how he got started with no credit, why personal branding has become a key driver of deal flow, and how door-to-door outreach is still one of the best ways to sharpen sales skills.

From real estate to AI tools and post-event content, this conversation covers what actually works when building lasting success.…

I shared why leading with empathy, consistency, and integrity isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do. True success lies in showing up every day with purpose, treating people with dignity, and staying true to your values. It's not about pursuing flash, it's about earning trust.

In today’s episode, I break down why capturing your true essence through content is the key to building a lasting brand and community. I talk about the difference between authenticity and frequency, and why being consistent with your skills, knowledge, and desire is what resonates most. I also share why finding your purpose isn’t about chasing anything outside of you, but about clearing the interference that blocks what you already are.

I share how chasing money alone led me to lose over $100 million and why reconnecting with gratitude, accountability, and faith allowed me to rebuild a better life. We talk about the importance of asking for help, learning to enjoy what you don't love, and prioritizing daily habits that move you closer to your true potential. This conversation covers why detours are often divine, why self-image sets your ceiling, and how consistent action shapes lasting change.…

We talk about the difference between what people do and who they truly are, and how Dylan’s setbacks became the foundation for his leadership and impact.

Staying Grounded When No One’s Looking 35:06

לפני 6 ימים35:06

35:06

In today’s episode, I share why purpose-driven leadership goes far beyond titles or strategies. It’s about creating cultures built on humility, clarity, and daily renewal. I talk about how transformation comes not from pressure or ego but from recalibrating your energy and leading through service. You’ll hear how gratitude, forgiveness, and joy can fuel long-term resilience, and why comparison is one of the greatest threats to your calling. From overcoming burnout to blessing your critics, I explore how to stay focused on what you’re given instead of reacting to what’s missing. Great leadership isn’t about being impressive.

37:07

In today’s episode, I unpack how Napoleon Hill’s timeless principles can guide a modern career path rooted in clarity, confidence, and purpose. I break down Hill’s 12 career pillars, from definiteness of purpose to accurate thinking, and explain how they align with vibrational awareness instead of rigid timelines. You’ll hear why imagination matters more than intensity, why motivation gets you started but inspiration keeps you going, and how your frequency shows up in what you believe, feel, and do every day. This is a framework for success that doesn’t chase outcomes. It attracts them by staying aligned, consistent, and centered in purpose.…

39:49

In today’s episode, I sit down with James Maslow and Owen Hanson, a former USC walk-on who once brushed shoulders with Heisman winners and ended up running a multimillion-dollar black-market empire. Owen shares how ambition and access turned him from sports agent to international drug trafficker, and how a stint in federal prison sparked a new kind of hustle. From mop-bucket ice cream experiments to launching the first 20g protein ice cream bar from a halfway house, his story is as surreal as it is instructive. What started as a bet for fast cash became a lesson in patience, reinvention and the real cost of unchecked ambition.…

How to Build a Culture 34:31

לפני 16 ימים34:31

34:31

In this weeks ‘Friday Training’ episode, I shared why culture, not charisma or short-term wins is the foundation of any great organization. When companies shift from being founder-centric to culture-centric, they build something that can weather change, inspire people, and last well beyond any one leader. We discussed the three pillars of lasting culture: a clear purpose, empowered people, and systems that support shared values. Real impact comes when culture is lived every day, not just posted on a wall. If you want your business to thrive long-term, focus on the habits, beliefs, and structures that will stand the test of time.

I share why simplicity isn't about doing less, but about doing what matters with clarity and intention. When we let go of the need to impress, we reclaim energy to innovate, connect, and serve at a higher level. I explore how to reframe goals through the lens of purpose, apply the AAA strategy of alignment, action, and adjustment, and shift from chasing to attracting.

In today’s episode, I break down how to use rules as instruments for growth instead of letting them box you in. From Napoleon Hill to Don Miguel Ruiz, I explore how principles, not rigid systems, shape consistent success. I share the mindset behind bending rules with intention, evaluating motive before action, and asking uncomfortable questions that protect your time, energy, and trust. Whether it’s a team decision or a business deal, clarity and adaptability are the real power moves. When you treat rules as tools, not as limits, you give yourself permission to evolve, align with purpose, and own your hustle without apology.…

David shares how these principles are embedded in every hiring decision, every product launch, and every moment with his 2,200-person team. We talk about what it means to lead with intention, how he manages expectations in a dream job setting, and why staying grounded in purpose has helped TaylorMade thrive across decades of transformation.…

In today’s episode, I talk about what it means to actually walk the walk—not just in business, but in faith, giving, and leadership. I break down the idea of the “infinite loop of giving” and why asking for help is just as important as giving it. I share how losing $100 million was the greatest form of protection I could’ve received and why true faith means trusting the process even when the evidence looks like a setback. If you’ve ever felt guilty for asking or unworthy of receiving, this is the message. Giving only works if you’re open to receiving too.…
