    24 - True North - Separation Season Series

    "Fear is the compass. Resistance is the map." – Joe Wanner The Thing You Resist Is the Thing You Need  In this episode, I break down the two tools that will never lie to you: resistance and fear. And I challenge you with this — the thing you’re resisting most right now is probably the exact thing you’re supposed to do. Not because it’s comfortable, but because it’s costly. Resistance reveals the assignment. Fear confirms its value. If you're still wondering what your next move is, look for the one you keep putting off — that’s where your true north is hiding. Friction Is What Moves You  We live in a world that tries to eliminate friction — but nothing moves forward without it. Planes need drag to lift. Tires need grip to roll. Growth needs challenge to transform. In this episode, I reframe resistance not as something to avoid but as something to press into. Because the more something pushes back, the more it matters. The friction you’re feeling isn’t a stop sign — it’s momentum trying to build. Action Brings the Clarity You’re Waiting For  I close this episode with three books that helped me lean into this mindset: The War of Art, Turning Pro, and Do the Work. These aren’t just books — they’re playbooks for facing resistance, killing excuses, and moving anyway. You don't wait for clarity and then act. You act — and clarity shows up in motion. That’s how you lead your life during separation season: by doing the hard thing you’ve been avoiding and letting it change you.

    23 - Building Momentum - Separation Season Series

    "Momentum works both ways. The question is: which direction are you stacking?" – Joe Wanner Momentum Never Stays Neutral  In this episode, I break down a truth most people ignore: you’re either gaining momentum or losing it — there’s no middle ground. I talk about how the small, daily choices you think don’t matter actually make all the difference. Momentum isn’t just movement. It’s energy stacking over time. And if you're not intentional about it, life will push your boulder backward before you even realize you stopped pushing. The Slight Edge That Changes Everything  Drawing from personal stories, track coaching, and books like The Compound Effect and The Slight Edge, I explain why it’s not about doing more — it’s about doing small things consistently. Just one shift in direction, like a plane off course by a few degrees, determines where you end up in 1, 5, or 10 years. I talk about using this time of year — the curve — as your slingshot, not your slowdown. Start So Small It Feels Stupid  Most people wait for the perfect plan. But real momentum starts with one action you can repeat. I challenge you to pick something simple — walking for five minutes, writing one sentence, stacking one habit — and just begin. The universe, momentum, and even infinite intelligence respond to consistency. And when you move, you don’t just shift your results — you shift who you are.

    22 - Accessing Infinite Intelligence - Separation Season Series

    "You don’t access infinite intelligence with logic — you access it through alignment." – Joe Wanner A Force Bigger Than Willpower In this episode, I walk you through a power most people don’t tap into — not because it isn’t available, but because they aren’t aligned enough to receive it. I’m talking about what Napoleon Hill called “infinite intelligence.” It’s that mysterious force that creates breakthrough ideas, right-place-right-time moments, and inner knowing you can’t explain. If you’ve ever felt stuck, it might not be a strategy problem — it could be a spiritual blockage. The Formula Behind Flow I break down the real, actionable ways you start to command the support of infinite intelligence in your life. It’s not just about thinking positively — it’s about building a life that sends a clear demand: I’m ready. I cover burning desire, unshakable faith, subconscious belief, and the power of speed when you feel a nudge. Success loves speed. Poverty loves delay. You either move when you’re called, or miss what was meant for you. Alignment Unlocks Everything From friendships and fitness to ideas and intuition, I talk about how alignment affects every area of your life. When you’re spiritually aligned and persistent over time, the universe brings people, clarity, and opportunities to your aid. You’re not “lucky” — you’re connected. But infinite intelligence doesn’t reward dabblers. It rewards the committed. And if you want to receive more in your life, it starts with how you’re living when no one’s watching.

    21 - The Power of Spiritual Alignment - Separation Season Series

    "You can’t align with blessing while drifting in distraction." – Joe Wanner The Energy That Works With You — Or Against You In this episode, I share why spiritual alignment matters more than most people realize — especially during separation season. Whether you call it God, the universe, or just divine order, there’s a force that either flows with you or pushes against you. When you’re off track, even a little, it shows up everywhere — in your energy, your relationships, your habits, and your results. Nothing stays neutral. You’re either building or breaking. Your Habits Reveal Your Alignment I challenge the idea that you can “dabble” in self-sabotage without consequences. From casual vices to hidden distractions, I talk about how even one misaligned choice — like one drop of iodine in water — shifts everything. This episode unpacks how true spiritual alignment isn’t about being perfect. It’s about removing what blocks your soul from the good that’s already trying to reach you. A Personal Story of Repentance and Reward I share the real story of how I went from broken and uncertain after a divorce… to finding peace, clarity, and even my future wife — all through alignment. In a freezing cabin in northern Wisconsin, I confronted myself. I repented, I listened, and I wrote down what I truly wanted. What followed was undeniable. You don’t earn spiritual alignment by trying harder — you receive it by getting honest. And when you do, everything starts working for you again.

    20 Consistency systems - Separation Season Series

    "Discipline gets the credit, but consistency builds the life." – Joe Wanner The Slow Work That Actually Works In this episode, I talk about the often-overlooked truth that real momentum isn’t built in a breakthrough — it’s built in the boring. We dive into why consistency is the secret weapon most people ignore, and how it separates the ones who talk from the ones who transform. If you’ve been waiting to “feel ready,” this episode is your permission to start small and keep showing up. Stacking the Right Habits Separation season doesn’t reward those who do everything — it rewards those who do the right things over and over. I break down how small, repeatable actions lead to compounding results, and why it’s not about being perfect — it’s about being persistent. The people you admire aren’t more talented. They’re just more consistent in doing what you’re still negotiating with. Consistency Builds Character This episode is a reminder that your habits shape your identity. Every time you show up when it’s not convenient, you cast a vote for the person you’re becoming. If you want long-term success, you don’t need more intensity — you need more consistency. And that starts now, not on January 1st. If the information in these episodes have helped you in your business journey, please subscribe to the show and leave an honest review.

    19 FEAR's Greatest Myth - Separation Season Series

    "Fear will lie to you — but your response to it will define you." – Joe Wanner The Fear That Poses as Logic  In this episode, I break down how fear doesn’t always show up loud — sometimes it sounds like reason, hesitation, or “just being realistic.” Whether it’s fear of success, fear of failure, or fear of being seen, I challenge the belief that fear is a signal to stop. Instead, it might be the exact signal to move. Separation season is about confronting the fears you’ve been agreeing with — even subconsciously. False Evidence Appearing Real  We’ve all heard the acronym for fear, but this episode unpacks how it plays out in real life. I share how fear becomes a lens — distorting your decisions, playing defense with your potential, and making you question the call you already know is on your life. If you’ve been playing small because you’re waiting for fear to leave first, you’ll stay stuck. Fear doesn’t leave. You move anyway. From Avoidance to Ownership  This isn’t about being fearless — it’s about being disciplined in how you see fear. I talk about what it looks like to reframe fear as fuel and walk into the thing you’ve been avoiding. Because at some point, you have to stop negotiating with fear and start confronting what’s underneath it — your beliefs, your identity, and your next level. Fear doesn’t disqualify you. Acceptance of it does. If the information in these episodes have helped you in your business journey, please subscribe to the show and leave an honest review.

    18 What We Accept-Separation Season Series

    "Just because you don’t like where you are doesn’t mean you haven’t accepted it." – Joe Wanner What You Allow, You End Up Living In this episode, I break down one hard truth: if your life hasn’t changed, it’s probably because you’ve accepted the way it is — even if you say you don’t want it. Separation season isn’t about doing 10,000 new things; it’s about owning your current situation and refusing to coast into the new year with the same old habits. You don’t get what you want — you get what you’re willing to accept. The Four Types of People I share a powerful framework I learned from my mentor Jeremy Miner — wingers, dabblers, know-it-allers, and masters. And trust me, only one of those will win long-term. If you’re still winging it or dabbling and expecting full results, this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to choose mastery. One to two small actions done consistently over the next 30–60 days can radically separate you from the version of yourself that keeps settling. The Cost of Inaction This is about more than motivation — it’s about consequence. Every day you delay action is a day you say, “This is good enough.” I challenge you to feel the weight of what you’re tolerating. Let that weight move you. Because if you keep waiting for clarity or the perfect plan, you’ll be right here next year, frustrated that nothing’s changed. Your life is shaped by what you accept — and the price of doing nothing is always higher than the risk of trying.

    17 Embracing Adversity - Separation Season Series

    "You don’t get to choose whether life hits — but you do get to choose what you do next." – Joe Wanner The Reality We Don’t Talk About  If you’ve been facing adversity, battling setbacks, or struggling to rebuild, this episode is for you. I talk about what happens when life doesn’t go as planned — and how personal growth, mindset shifts, and self-discipline are forged in the fire of those moments. We dive into why this season of adversity might be your separation season — the one that defines your next chapter. The Power of Choosing Your Hard  You don’t get to opt out of difficulty, but you do get to choose how you face it. Whether it’s walking through loss, rebuilding after failure, or trying to stay committed when you feel depleted — this episode breaks down how to reclaim your power and choose the hard that leads to transformation. Because not choosing is still a choice. What Comes Out of the Fire  This isn’t about surviving — it’s about growing. Adversity doesn’t just test who you are; it reveals who you’re becoming. I share moments from my own journey where things could’ve broken me but instead became fuel. And I challenge you to ask yourself — what if this storm isn’t the thing stopping you… but the thing preparing you?
