    MaxOut Your Life: Lessons on Youth and Success

    If you could go back and give advice to your younger self, what would you say? That’s the question I got recently from a young man at a live event, and it’s one that hit me hard. I realized that I'd give up every dollar, every luxury, just to relive that energy, that drive. The truth? Right now is the youngest and most powerful you’ll ever be again. Whether you’re 20 or 53, there’s no better time to start living fully, with focus and intention. One of the biggest lessons I wish I’d learned earlier? Only control what you can. So much of my life I spent trying to control outcomes, people’s opinions, or circumstances. But focusing on what I couldn’t change drained my energy and stole my peace. Imagine the freedom if you could just let go of that need to control every little detail and focus solely on what’s in your hands—your actions, your attitude, your growth. That’s where the power lies. In this episode, I dive into the importance of protecting your energy—what I call your vibrational frequency. The highest energy wins. The most successful people aren’t just the most skilled or the smartest; they know how to show up with full presence, clarity, and focus when it matters most. To reach that level, you’ve got to stay aligned with your purpose and keep the distractions, doubts, and energy-draining worries out of your way. Finally, I talk about raising your standards, not just setting goals. Goals are great, but they come and go. Standards? They shape who you become. Decide what level you’re truly comfortable with in every area of your life—relationships, finances, fitness—and watch how that “thermostat setting” drives you to either rise or cool back down. You will never exceed what you think you deserve, so set that thermostat high and surround yourself with people who challenge you to stay there. Key Takeaways: Focus only on what you can control, and let go of the rest. Protect your energy and show up with your best frequency. Set and maintain high standards—don’t settle for less. Surround yourself with people who push you to elevate. This is your moment. Max out your life, kick some butt, and live so that, at the end, you’re proud of every single choice. God bless, and go all in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    The 3-Step Success Formula with Jesse Itzler

    What Are You Waiting For? Breakthroughs Start Where Fear Ends!" In this episode, I’m thrilled to sit down with Jesse Itzler, an unstoppable entrepreneur, ultra-endurance athlete, and master of unconventional experiences. Jesse's journey is built on facing down fear, embracing challenges, and doing what most people would never attempt. From creating Marquis Jet and selling it to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, to venturing into the unknown time and time again, Jesse’s story is proof that success is found on the other side of risk. Jesse dives into the art of tackling “the wall” — that point where fear, doubt, and hesitation threaten to stop you. He talks about how he built a mindset that not only pushes through but thrives in uncertainty. When he realized he wanted to experience private jet travel but couldn’t afford it, Jesse and his partner went straight to NetJets with nothing but a vision and unshakeable conviction. Against the odds, they secured a deal with Buffett’s team, setting the foundation for what became a game-changing business. We also get into why Jesse believes routine kills creativity and how he designs his life around extraordinary experiences. He shares his practice of "Kevin's Rule," a commitment to creating meaningful experiences every two months. Jesse has made it his mission to build a “life resume” filled with unforgettable moments and deep connections. Key Takeaways: Face the Fear Wall: Success often waits on the other side of your greatest fears. Innovate Without Limits: Breaking from tradition can be a competitive advantage. Build Your Life Resume: Pursue experiences that enrich your life and create unforgettable memories. Be Irreplaceable: In every role—parent, partner, or professional—make yourself invaluable. Time is Scarce, Act Accordingly: Treat each moment like it’s priceless, because it is. This episode is packed with strategies to turn ambition into action. Jesse’s journey reminds us that life is too short to play it safe. Start building the life you want—one bold step at a time! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    The Mental Game: How a Fighter Uses Mind Games Before the Big Fight

    Unstoppable Mindset: Discovering the Edge That Sets Champions Apart In this special mashup episode, we’re peeling back the layers of what separates the good from the great, and the great from the unstoppable. You’re about to dive into the minds of legendary athletes, entrepreneurs, and influencers, all revealing the strategies they use to dominate in high-pressure situations and overcome relentless challenges. We kick off with a powerful conversation on mental toughness from boxing champion Andre Ward, who shares how he harnesses fear and channels it into fuel. "Fear is real," he admits, "but courage steps in anyway." We also hear from wrestler Mark "The Undertaker" Calaway, who lived his life in the ring as a relentless character, pushing the limits to not only win matches but leave an unforgettable legacy. These champions don’t just prepare physically—they build a mental fortress that lets them stay steady under pressure, even when the world is watching. Throughout, Tim Grover, the trainer behind icons like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, breaks down how a relentless commitment to winning means being brutally honest with yourself. He says, "Winning doesn’t care about your feelings; it cares about how bad you want it.” Grover’s insights into pushing past fear and failure give you a glimpse into the “winning mindset”—the mental resilience that keeps these athletes at the top of their game. We round out the episode with Trent Shelton and Ed discussing how to turn pain into purpose. Shelton’s story of overcoming personal tragedy is a reminder that your greatest trials can become your most powerful victories. He says, “Your perspective can be your prison or your power,” reminding us that every setback has the potential to set us up for a massive comeback. Key Takeaways: - How to channel fear into courage under pressure from champion Andre Ward - Tim Grover’s no-excuses approach to winning and the importance of a “made-up mind” - The mindset that drives relentless preparation from Mark "The Undertaker" Calaway - Why your hardest moments can lead to your greatest strengths, with Trent Shelton’s story of transformation If you’re ready to learn from the greats and step up your mental game, this episode is your blueprint for building an unbreakable mindset.

    What's REALLY Holding You Back from Financial Freedom

    Are you truly prepared for the future, or are you just hoping things will work out? In today’s episode, I’m sounding the alarm on where we’re heading financially and what that means for your future. This isn’t just about goals or dreams—this is about waking up to the reality of what’s happening around us. The cost of living is skyrocketing, wages are stagnating, and inflation is eating away at our savings. Whether you’re 22 or 62, it’s time to take a hard look at where you are and where you’re going.

This trend isn’t getting any better, and if you don’t make changes now, you could find yourself working harder just to keep your head above water. It’s time to stop waiting for someone else to save you—no politician, no influencer, no external force is going to fix this for you. I’m challenging you to think about your career, your spending habits, and your future. If you’re not earning enough, it’s time to consider new skills, a side hustle, or even a complete career change. The world is evolving fast, and so must you. I’m not going to sugarcoat it—this path won’t be easy. But if you want to rise above the average, you’ve got to be willing to put in the work and develop skills that make you undeniable. Remember, your future won’t be shaped by chance—it will be determined by the actions you take today. This episode is about confronting the truth, taking control of your life, and making the decisions that will set you and your family up for success. Key Takeaways: - The alarming gap between rising costs and stagnant wages - Why relying on traditional savings or a single income stream may not be enough - The importance of developing skills that make you irreplaceable - How to think differently about spending and saving in today’s economy - Why now is the time to take control of your financial future This episode is your wake-up call to stop coasting and start making strategic decisions about your life. It’s not about fear, but about preparation. The future is coming whether you’re ready or not, and today’s the day to decide where you fit into it. Max out your life! Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ever wonder what true wealth is? In today’s episode, I sit down with Scott Galloway, a fierce thinker, NYU professor, and one of the most influential voices on business, technology, and modern society. Scott pulls no punches as he redefines what it means to be truly wealthy—and why it goes beyond the numbers most people think about. Together, we confront the gap between appearances and actual financial security, touching on the lifestyle traps that can lead high-earners to economic stress, while those who live strategically build lasting wealth. Scott and I also dig into the concept of following your passion. For all the young people out there, Scott makes a compelling case for honing your talents in practical fields, building toward mastery rather than just "following dreams." We’re breaking down what it really takes to succeed in a world that loves glamorizing the "overnight success" without showing the grit behind it. We also tackle the future of artificial intelligence and what it means for today's workforce. Scott warns us that AI itself isn’t the enemy, but ignoring its potential impact on every job market could be. For anyone worried about the future, his advice is simple but profound—learn the tools of the new economy so you're always ahead of the curve. Finally, we take a hard look at some tough societal issues, from the challenges facing young men today to the influence of social media on youth mental health. Scott’s unapologetic take on the need for positive male role models, community involvement, and emotional resilience is a wake-up call to us all. Key Takeaways: True Wealth: Why wealth is about security, not salary, and how to focus on what really matters. Practical Passion: The balance between passion and talent, and how to build a career that sustains both. AI Advantage: How to future-proof your career by mastering the essentials of AI. Building Strong Men: The importance of male mentorship and community in shaping resilient young men. Social Media’s Toll: The hidden costs of social media on youth mental health and what to do about it. This episode isn’t just an interview; it’s an education in life strategy. Tune in, take notes, and be ready to rethink how you approach wealth, success, and influence in every part of your life.

On December 9th, I’m opening my home for an exclusive event where I’ll personally take you through my 12-step System, which has transformed thousands of lives. This is your invitation to MAXOUT in 2025. But make no mistake—this isn't for the timid. It’s for those who want to crush the limits holding them back. There are limited spots left, so secure yours now at https://maxout2025.com. This week's episode is a taste of what you can expect from this amazing event... Romanticize Your Future: The Key to Unlocking Your Best Self Imagine if you could fall in love with your future. Not just daydream about it, but truly romanticize it in the same way you might cherish a loved one. When you care deeply about something, you protect it, nurture it, and give it the attention it deserves. Today, I'm challenging you to approach your future this way—to fall in love with the life you want to create. When you do, the way you show up in the world changes. You start seeing opportunities that were always there, but now they stand out, clear as day. The difference between winning and losing, success and failure, often comes down to a few pivotal moments. These moments define us, and being ready for them is critical. Life’s big breaks don’t come with a warning—they arrive when you least expect them. That’s why preparation is everything. You can’t rely on luck. Instead, you need to be consistently ready for those moments that could change your life. In this episode, I dive into how our thoughts shape our reality and how holding onto positive thoughts for just 15 seconds can shift your energy and set you up for success. I’ll walk you through the concept of "thought stacking," where focusing on a thought for over a minute begins to reprogram your brain to notice opportunities that align with your goals. This isn’t just about thinking happy thoughts—it’s about creating a vibrational frequency that attracts the right people, opportunities, and circumstances into your life. I’m sharing strategies to interrupt negative patterns before they take root and how you can train your mind to stay focused on what you truly want, not what you fear. What if I told you that romanticizing your future could be the key to unlocking a life you can’t wait to live? When you care for your future like you care for someone you love, you’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen. You’ll start seeing the world differently, and that’s when life really starts to transform. So today, we’re not just talking about setting goals or improving your mindset. We’re talking about creating a future so compelling that you can’t help but fall in love with it—and in the process, becoming the best version of yourself. Key Takeaways: The difference between success and failure often comes down to a handful of moments. Holding a thought for over 15 seconds can shift your vibrational frequency, attracting what you desire. Thought stacking can help you reprogram your mind to focus on positive outcomes. Romanticizing your future helps you care for it in a way that makes success inevitable. Interrupting negative thought patterns before they take root is essential to maintaining focus and control. So here’s my challenge to you: Start romanticizing your future. Fall in love with the life you’re building, treat it with the same care you’d give to something or someone you deeply cherish. Remember, you were born to do something great, and someone out there needs the best version of you. Let’s make sure you’re ready for that moment when it comes. And don’t forget, to join me for “MAXOUT 2025" on December 9th for an exclusive event. This will be an intimate experience where you’ll get to learn directly from me in my home.

    How a 17-Year-Old with Cerebral Palsy Defied All Odds to Create a Thriving Business with Drew Davis

    What if you could turn your challenges into your biggest strengths? Today, I’m sitting down with Drew Davis, a young entrepreneur who took a high school project and transformed it into an extraordinary business success. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy and told his idea for Crippling Hot Sauce was “unrealistic,” Drew didn’t just overcome obstacles—he obliterated them. At 19, he’s sold over 250,000 bottles, built a thriving business from scratch, and is donating part of his profits to cerebral palsy research. This isn’t just about business; it’s about resilience, grit, and the power of believing in yourself when no one else does. Drew shares the fascinating story of how he started with nothing but $3,000 of birthday money and an idea. Despite having no business experience and being told by his teacher that the concept wouldn’t work, Drew’s determination to prove them wrong fueled his success. We talk about the early days—mixing sauces in his family’s kitchen, selling out his first batch in 30 minutes, and how a local newspaper story ignited the growth of Crippling Hot Sauce. In this conversation, we unpack the strategies Drew used to scale his company, from branding to leveraging organic and paid social media. His insight into building a brand with heart—donating 5% of profits to cerebral palsy research—shows how a powerful mission can elevate a business. Drew is proof that no matter your age or your challenges, you can achieve greatness when you’re willing to put in the work and believe in your vision. Drew’s humility and humor shine throughout the episode. He talks about how his parents always treated him like anyone else and how this mindset helped shape his confidence. He also explains how he uses humor as a tool to handle adversity and stay grounded. His journey is a masterclass in not letting circumstances define you but using them as fuel to rise above and inspire others. Key Takeaways: How Drew turned a school project into a quarter-million-dollar business. The importance of branding and storytelling in creating a memorable product. Why giving back can be a strategic move for building a brand. How to use failure as a stepping stone for growth. The value of resilience and believing in your vision, no matter the odds. This episode is more than just a success story—it’s a blueprint for overcoming adversity and building something meaningful. Drew Davis is a living example that nothing can stop you when you decide to push past your limitations. Prepare to walk away motivated and ready to chase your dreams with everything you’ve got.
