What does it look like to build a successful life without losing sight of the things that matter most? On Episode 345 of the Never Stop Getting Better Podcast, I sit down with Shay Robbins, Chief Strategic Officer and Senior Financial Planner at Robbins Financial, author of Dangerous Christian, husband, father of six, and member of the teaching team at Woodland Hills Family Church in Branson, Missouri. Shay has professionally led more than 6,000 people and written and delivered more than 500 unique messages. But this conversation goes far beyond business or financial planning. We talk about faith, family, leadership, money, stewardship, purpose, and legacy. Shay shares what he's learned about leading people, building a strong marriage and family, integrating faith into the workplace, and making financial decisions that reflect what you actually value. We also dive into a question that all of us eventually have to answer: What are you really building? Because getting better isn't simply about accumulating more, achieving more, or becoming more successful. It's about becoming a better steward of what God has already placed in your hands. Your relationships. Your influence. Your resources. Your opportunities. Your life. This is a conversation about making sure the things we spend our lives chasing don't cost us the things that matter most. Never Stop Getting Better. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS Why leadership starts with caring about people How faith should influence the way we lead What it means to be a "Dangerous Christian" Why money is a tool—not the destination Aligning your finances with your values Lessons from leading thousands of people Building a strong marriage and family Raising six kids while leading professionally Success vs. significance Stewardship, purpose and legacy How to identify what actually matters What Shay is doing to keep getting 1% better

Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket Email: edoctorate@gmail.com Great leadership isn't just about what you know. It's about how well you know, understand, value, and connect with the people you lead. On today's episode of the Never Stop Getting Better Podcast, Coach John Perry sits down with Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket—award-winning principal, TEDx speaker, two-time bestselling author, and one of District Administration Magazine's Top 100 Education Influencers. Dr. Rachel serves as principal of a National Blue Ribbon School in Maryland and has spent more than 20 years in education. Throughout her career as a teacher, mentor, assistant principal, principal, professor, author, and speaker, one principle has remained at the center of her leadership: relationships matter. In this conversation, Rachel and Coach Perry dive into relational intelligence, building trust, creating great cultures, developing leaders, accountability, boundaries, burnout, and what it takes to lead people well. We talk about why highly talented leaders can still struggle when they fail relationally, how trust impacts performance, why people need to feel valued, and how leaders can create environments where people want to belong, contribute, and grow. Whether you lead a classroom, football team, business, school, church, or family, this conversation is packed with practical leadership lessons you can use immediately. Because ultimately, leadership isn't about your title. It's about your influence. And influence begins with relationships. Never Stop Getting Better. CONNECT WITH DR.

You can't consistently pour into others if you've allowed yourself to become empty. In this Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares the story of a frustrated baseball coach who realized his players weren't just listening to his words—they were matching his energy. Then, on his way to work one morning, he found himself driving behind a truck carrying a water tank. Water was spilling over the sides, and written on the tank were three words: NEVER RUN DRY. Sometimes leadership isn't about asking more from the people around us. Sometimes it's about taking a look at what's inside of us. Because whatever fills you eventually flows from you. If frustration fills your tank, frustration spills out. If negativity fills your tank, negativity spills out. But when you fill yourself with God's Word, gratitude, wisdom, encouragement and truth, those things begin spilling onto the people around you. Your family feels what's in your tank. Your coworkers feel what's in your tank. Your players feel what's in your tank. Everybody you lead eventually experiences what you're filled with. This week's 1% challenge: What's filling your tank? And when life bumps you, what's spilling out? Fill up before you show up. Never Stop Getting Better.

On Episode 343 of the Never Stop Getting Better Podcast, John Perry sits down with Chuck Hepola, Director of Athletics and Head Football Coach at Evangel University. Coach Hepola has built Evangel into a consistent championship contender while becoming the winningest head football coach in program history. But his impact reaches far beyond the scoreboard.

A man sees a butterfly struggling to escape its cocoon and decides to help. He cuts the cocoon open, thinking he’s making things easier. But the butterfly never flies. The lesson is powerful: sometimes struggle is not the problem. Sometimes struggle is the process. In this episode of Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares the story of the butterfly and the cocoon and connects it to leadership, parenting, coaching, adversity, and growth. We often want to rescue people from hard things. We want to remove the resistance, fix the problem, and make life easier. But if we step in too quickly, we may rob people of the very struggle they need to become stronger. Great leaders know the difference between support and rescue. They don’t abandon people, but they also don’t remove every challenge. They stay close. They encourage. They teach. They believe. And sometimes they simply say: “Keep going. You can do this.” In this episode: Why struggle can build strength The difference between helping and rescuing Why leaders shouldn’t remove every hard thing How adversity can prepare us for what’s next How E+R=O applies in difficult seasons Why coaches, parents, and leaders must learn when to step in and when to let the process work Don’t cut the cocoon too early. Let the struggle do its work. And Never Stop Getting Better. Presented by CoxHealth.

What if greatness isn’t built through one massive breakthrough, but through hundreds of small improvements nobody notices? In this week’s Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares the story of British Cycling and performance director Dave Brailsford, who became obsessed with the idea of marginal gains — improving everything by just 1%. They improved equipment. Recovery. Sleep. Hygiene. Training. Even the smallest details others would have ignored. None of it looked revolutionary. But together, those tiny improvements began to compound. The result? British Cycling went from decades of mediocrity to becoming one of the most dominant cycling programs in the world. This episode is a reminder that extraordinary results are usually built from ordinary things done exceptionally well. The world sees the breakthrough. It rarely sees the 1%. In this episode: Why small improvements matter How marginal gains compound over time Why details become your competitive advantage The importance of respecting the work nobody applauds How to identify your own 1% today You don’t need to become 100% better overnight. Just find one thing. Improve it. Stack it. Repeat it. Never Stop Getting Better. Presented by CoxHealth.
