    The Business Decisions That Define NFL Careers

    In today’s episode, I sit down with two of the greatest running backs to play the game, Steven Jackson and Austin Ekeler. We talk about what it means to live out a dream that has a natural expiration date, and how identity shifts once a playing career ends.

    Why Smaller LinkedIn Audiences Win Bigger

    In today’s episode, I sit down with Aneesh Lal, founder of The Wishly Group, where he helps creators and small businesses build modern revenue engines rooted in trust and alignment.

We talk about why a small, engaged LinkedIn audience can outperform millions of TikTok views, how his three C framework—credibility, character, and charisma—guides every partnership, and why mission always comes before commission. Aneesh proves that meaningful success is never just about the money.

    How Visualization Shapes Reality

    In today’s episode, I sit down with John Assaraf, a two-time New York Times bestselling author known for teaching people how to strengthen the brain’s “neuro muscles” through his concept of Innercise.

We explore how small, consistent actions can rewire thought patterns, build empowering habits, and unlock greater potential. John explains why visualization works, how habits form in the brain, and why reducing goals to the smallest possible steps creates lasting change. His story shows what’s possible when commitment replaces mere interest.
