    Stop Settling (The Mediocrity Intervention)

    Do you ever find yourself going through life on autopilot—settling for routines, habits, and outcomes that fall short of what you truly want? Without even realizing it, we often accept mediocrity in our health, relationships, work, or personal growth by telling ourselves it’s “good enough” or “better than most.” ​ When we look back on our lives, the last thing anyone wants is to be overwhelmed with regret, wishing we had done things differently, that we hadn’t settled for less, and instead lived in alignment with what mattered most. As a follow-up to last week’s episode, today I’m sharing The Mediocrity Intervention: a five-step process to help you recognize where you’re falling short of what matters most and how to rise above it. I’ll walk you through the five (5) universal reasons we settle and give five simple steps to break free and realign with your highest potential. ​ Mediocrity isn’t an insult—it’s a reality check. And my hope is that this episode will inspire you to raise your standards and take the first step by committing to stopping the pursuit of mediocrity and making excellence your baseline to live an extraordinary life. KEY TAKEAWAYS What mediocrity really means (and why it’s not an insult) The five universal reasons we settle for less than we want How comfort zone addiction and short-term gratification keep us stuck Why lack of clarity leads to “good enough” instead of extraordinary The five-step Mediocrity Intervention to rise above settling Why courage is the antidote to mediocrity Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/606 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

    Identifying and Living What Matters Most

    If someone asked you if your family, health, or relationships are your top priorities, you’d likely say, “Of course!”. But would your calendar or eating habits tell a different story? Today, I’m going to walk you through a simple three-step process to help you identify, affirm, and live in alignment with what matters most to you. This idea was inspired by a speech I gave at a mastermind, where I felt called to speak not about books or business, but about life’s most important priorities. I’ll share some of my own struggles with being hyper-focused on work and the powerful lessons I learned during my battle with cancer that forced me to reevaluate everything. My hope is that this episode inspires you to pause and reflect on your own life. I encourage you to set aside 10 minutes today to write down what matters most to you, why it matters, and one small change you can make this week to align your schedule with your values. Taking these simple steps now will help to ensure that years from now, you can look back on your life with pride, not regret. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Universal Priorities That Matter Most  Why Many People Say Family Comes First—But Live Out of Alignment The Story That Sparked the Front Row Dads Movement How My Cancer Journey Helped Redefine My Daily Choices and Routines The Three-Step Affirmation Formula for Living Your Priorities Identifying and Living What Matters Most Prevents End-of-Life Regret Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/605 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

    How to Grow and Monetize Your Personal Brand with Rory Vaden

    When most personal brands fail to achieve their full potential, it’s not because the message isn’t valuable; it’s generally because the focus is diluted, the strategy is scattered, and the mission gets lost in the noise.  Most entrepreneurs are trying to be everywhere at once, chasing multiple income streams, or mistake branding for self-promotion. The result? Limited results and a message that never reaches the people who need it most. And as you’ll hear from today’s guest, “The Best Form of Marketing Is A Changed Life.” Rory Vaden is a Hall of Fame keynote speaker, bestselling author of Wealthy and Well-Known (get the audiobook FREE here), and co-founder of Brand Builders Group. His clients include leaders such as Lewis Howes, Ed Mylett, Amy Porterfield, and John Maxwell, and his expertise helps mission-driven messengers turn their reputation into revenue without compromising their purpose. In our conversation, Rory shares why personal branding is first and foremost a spiritual mission, how service (not self-promotion) is the key to long-term success, and why multiple streams of income is the wrong strategy when you’re starting out. You’ll also learn the five proven ways to monetize a personal brand, why fear is a signal of self-centeredness, and how clarity of mission removes fear altogether.

    How to Build Emotional Intelligence and Transform Every Area of Your Life with Dr. Travis Bradberry

    If there’s one hidden force sabotaging your health, happiness, relationships, energy, and productivity, it’s your emotions. Most of us were never taught how to manage them, which leaves us stressed, reactive, and held back from the life we want. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the key to changing that. My guest today is Dr. Travis Bradberry—bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0 and The New Emotional Intelligence, with over 5 million books sold and a following of 2.6 million on LinkedIn. Recognized as the world’s leading expert on EQ, his research has helped millions unlock greater success and fulfillment. In this conversation, Dr. Bradberry unpacks the science and strategies of emotional intelligence—from the “anger funnel,” to perspective shifts, to why you can’t increase your EQ without first increasing your self-awareness. You’ll discover how EQ impacts stress, happiness, conflict, and energy—and how small, repeatable behaviors can literally rewire your brain and put you on the path to a higher EQ. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Emotional Intelligence Matters More Than Ever How Our Brains Give Emotions the Upper Hand Tools to Rewire Emotional Pathways The Role of EQ in Stress Management Two Ways That EQ Impacts Happiness The Difference Between IQ and EQ Why EQ Is the Antidote to Stress The Power of Perspective Shifts Why Self-Awareness Is the Foundation of EQ Relationship Management: Losing Battles to Win Wars Simple Phrases That Rewire Your Brain Integrating EQ into Your Miracle Morning Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/603 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

    How to Go From Burnout to Balance with Chris Ducker

    If you’ve ever felt burned out, stretched too thin, or guilty for even thinking about taking time off—you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. That’s why today’s conversation with my good friend Chris Ducker hit so hard. Chris is a wildly successful entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Youpreneur. But despite building a thriving business, he ended up flatlined—literally. Diagnosed with acute anxiety, depression, and adrenal failure, Chris was forced to face the cost of nonstop hustle. In his new book The Long Haul Leader, Chris shares the framework he created to move from burnout to balance: a simple Life OS built on four pillars—impactful work, loving relationships, personal mastery, and hobbies. We dig into why hustle should only ever be a season (not a lifestyle), how to protect your energy, and why self-care isn’t selfish—it’s strategy. If you want to create lasting success without sacrificing your health, happiness, or relationships, this conversation will give you the permission and tools to finally make it happen. KEY TAKEAWAYS Chris’s Journey of Success, Burnout, and Health Issues The Life OS Framework: 4 Pillars for Sustainable Success The 4 Areas of Life That Are Essential for Health and Joy Hustle vs. Habits: Why Hustle Shouldn’t Be a Lifestyle The “Stop, Stay, Start” Exercise for Clarity and Focus The Power of Permission to Reclaim Your Time and Life How to Connect with Chris and Find His Book Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/602 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

    You Have More Control Over Your Life Than You Think with Ron Lynch

    Life can be hard. Things happen that we don’t see coming. And while you can’t always control the circumstances, you always have control over how you respond. That’s the throughline of my conversation with Ron Lynch. He’s lived life as a true Renaissance man—from writer, director, and producer to cook, inventor, traveler, and philanthropist. He’s built billion-dollar brands and mastered dozens of skills, but what really sets him apart is his ability to choose joy, no matter what life throws his way. In our conversation, Ron shows how that same mindset applies to staying relevant and resilient in today’s world. He explains why developing a wide range of skills is your best defense in a future being reshaped by AI, how to approach learning without adding overwhelm, and why your emotional state is always within your control, even in difficult or uncertain times.  We also explore Ron’s powerful “Introduction from God” exercise—a practice that forces you to confront who you want to be remembered as, and challenges you to live in alignment with that vision every single day. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why You Have More Control Than You Think Choosing Peace Instead of Stress and Anger The Da Vinci Model for Becoming More Useful How to Learn New Skills Without Overwhelm Skills That Won’t Be Replaced by AI Why Artisan Trades Are Making a Comeback The One Truth Most People Avoid Facing How Faith and Science Intersect in Purpose Discovering Your True Purpose in Life Writing Your “Introduction from God” The Difference Between Happiness and Joy Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/600 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

    How to Receive Divine Guidance and Unlock Your Best Ideas

    Ever notice your best ideas don’t come when you’re forcing yourself to “figure things out”? They show up in the shower, on a walk, or drifting off to sleep. That’s because inspiration flows when you quiet your overactive, ego-driven mind and create space for divine guidance. Today, I’m sharing how I learned to replace overthinking with what I call “divine downloads” — ideas that feel like they come straight from God, your highest self, or collective consciousness. I’ll walk you through a powerful story from a recent mastermind that reminded me how life-changing it is to act on inspiration the moment it arrives (before doubt talks you out of it). By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to create more space for inspiration, capture those ideas before they fade, and turn them into the kind of meaningful action that transforms your life — and the lives of those you care about most. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Difference Between Thinking and a Thought How Overthinking Blocks Inspiration The Mastermind Moment That Inspired Me Acting on Inspiration Before Thinking Yourself Out of It Creating Space for Divine Downloads Why You Must Capture Ideas Immediately Turning Inspired Thoughts Into Action Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/599 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.
