Uncommon Results Require Uncommon Things. There Is No Exception.
Let’s talk about the uncommon life — because the logic is almost embarrassingly simple: if you do what everybody else does, you tend to get what everybody else gets. If you want uncommon results — in health, finance, relationships, business — it follows that you must do uncommon things. In this episode: what I was […]
Stop Setting Goals. Start Setting Standards.
Another insight from the US trip: a speaker who said he doesn’t have goals — he has standards. It’s a profound nuance. Instead of writing down outcomes you want, you delineate who you intend to be — the body, lifestyle, relationships and work that are simply non-negotiable — and you live to that standard. Fresh […]
Mindset Drives Everything — And Nobody Wants That to Be True
An uncomfortable truth: mindset drives pretty much everything. The most transformational truths are platitudinal — so woven into the culture that they’ve lost their gravitational force. From Napoleon Hill onward, the idea stands: your belief about what’s possible is the preeminent tool of transformation. And here’s why people resist it: if it’s true, we’re responsible […]
You Cannot Live Your Life Walking Forwards Looking Backwards
An unpopular opinion today. So many people are convinced they cannot move forward until every issue from their past is fully processed — and I believe we’re swimming in what I call Big Therapy: an industry that, at its worst, keeps people circling the same story for years. To be clear: real suffering is real, […]
How I Stopped Being Afraid — Two Realizations That End Fear
Fear and anxiety have become a pan-cultural phenomenon — and something I wrestled with for many years and genuinely no longer do. In this episode, the two realizations that got me there. First: I am not God. So much fear comes from the misplaced belief that we can control reality — and worry feels like […]
Hell on Earth Is Meeting the Person You Could Have Been
Last week in Florida I heard one of the finest presentations of my life — six hours from Keith Cunningham, and I’d happily have doubled it. At one point he paused and said something that landed like a hammer: hell on earth would be to meet the person I could have been. Imagine encountering, in […]
You Have a Moral Duty to Make Something Extraordinary of Your Life
You have a moral duty to make something extraordinary of your life. You’ve been given one single, precious life — the clock is running, and eventually it stops. The question you face every morning: what will you do with this next block of twenty-four hours? So many people spend their days in distraction and disillusion, […]
