    BRYAN & SHANNON MILES: Leading Through Change and Loneliness

    Entrepreneurship promises freedom—but it also comes with a unique set of challenges that many don’t talk about. In this episode, The Double Win Show welcomes Bryan and Shannon Miles, co-founders of Belay and the nonprofit O’nr, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a thriving business without losing yourself in the process. From hiring their first virtual assistant in 2011 (who later became CEO!) to navigating the emotional weight of selling a business, Bryan and Shannon share their hard-won lessons on leadership, transitions, and making decisions that align with your values. Memorable Quotes “Here’s the magic phrase: ‘In order to be faithful to my existing commitments, I have to say no.’”“I am responsible for myself and my leadership. And I know that if I extend myself too far, I’m not the best version of who I want to be.”“If I’m saying yes to everything and I’m overcommitting and my schedule is absolutely full, there’s no space for creativity. There’s no space for dreaming. There’s no space for new ideas or realizations.”“A lot of business owners are lonely, actually isolated.”“As leaders, part of our job is just kind of to help people settle and know they’re safe.”“Stewardship is just simply managing something for a season of time… While we’re there with our employees and leaders, we’re stewarding our relationships with them.”Key Takeaways The Loneliness of Leadership. If you’re feeling isolated as a business owner, there’s good news: You’re not the only one.The Skill of Saying No. Implement this mental shift to help you stop overcommitting without the guilt.Getting Buy-In For Change.

    ANDREW ABELA: The Habits That Change Everything

    We all know that habits shape our lives. But which habits actually matter? In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Andrew Abella, founding dean of the Bush School of Business and author of Superhabits, to discuss a framework for building a flourishing life. Andrew shares how ancient wisdom, backed by modern science, reveals the core virtues that drive success—and how anyone can develop them. If you’ve ever wondered where to start when it comes to personal growth, this episode is your answer. Memorable Quotes “Cultivating self discipline is not about stifling a desire. It’s about redirecting it gently into a more productive direction.”“There is a specific set of habits that is far superior.”“Vitrues are specific habits of excellence.”“Every [virtue] all of us have inside us. They just need to be activated… by practicing them.”“There’s a freedom that comes from growing in self-discipline, because instead of being a prey to whatever desire that you have, you’re in charge.”“For an adult who’s looking at harmless social media, the problem is you are wasting your desire to know on stuff that is not going to help you.”Key Takeaways The Four Pillars of Success. Prudence, justice, courage, and self-discipline form the foundation of a flourishing life, shaping how we think, act, and grow.The “Which Habit?” Problem. Most habit books focus on how to build habits, but the real challenge is knowing which habits will lead to lasting success.The Power of Restraint.

    JAY PAPASAN: One Question to Upgrade Your Life

    In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael and Megan sit down with bestselling author Jay Papasan to talk about the secret to extraordinary success: focus. Jay unpacks why most people struggle with distraction, how to create an environment for deep work, and why small, consistent actions lead to massive results over time. Memorable Quotes “Our focus muscle depends on how long we’ve been using it and how much distraction we have to deal with every day.”“If it’s important enough, it belongs on my calendar.”“When you get really good at your one thing, you don’t just get many results. Your impact gets larger and larger over time.”“Extraordinary starts this way: It starts small and it grows so much faster than we can imagine.”“There’s two groups of people in life: doers who don’t have space to dream and dreamers who don’t have space to do.”“It creates anxiety and fear because it matters. We don’t want to fail at the things that matter most to us.”“Our culture rewards busy people who move fast and get things done.”“It should always be situational. When do we need to be fast? When do we need to be slow?”“If you’re going to do something extraordinary, it’s not going to be because you did millions of things. It’s going to be because you did that thing and the handful of things that matter around it extraordinarily well.”“Everything in life that matters happens pretty slowly.” Key Takeaways The Focus Bunker: How to design a workspace that protects your attention so you can do your best workThe Domino Effect: The science behind tiny actions that lead to exponential growthThe Myth of Busyness: Why getting a lot done doesn’t mean you’re moving forward (and what does)The Value of Slow: How taking your time can actually speed up your success—and why the best things take timeRituals for High Performance: Small habits that make big results inevitable (and how you can implement them today.)Resources The One Thing by Gary Keller & Jay PapasanThe One Thing PodcastWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/UnMEk4qAJcw This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

    RICH LITVIN: Finding What You Want

    In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller chat with Rich Litvin, bestselling author of The Prosperous Coach and sought-after leadership coach. Rich unpacks how leaders can embrace self-awareness, tackle work addiction, and redefine success by asking one simple but life-changing question: “What do you want?” Memorable Quotes “Most of success is actually about mining your past.”“No one really remembers a comfortable life.”“My favorite coaching question is the simplest one. It’s: What do you want? Especially if you’re really good at helping other people, it’s actually really hard to answer for yourself.”“The most underrated skill in leadership is self-awareness.”“The power of great coaching is that you can see things that others can’t see. And you’re bold enough to say what others won’t dare to say.”“I don’t need to be better at what they do than they are. They’re the best in the planet at what they do. I’m the one who’s bold enough to challenge their thinking.”“If your heart tells you to say this to do this, then you need to lean into that edge, even if it’s to start off by saying, ‘Hey, I feel a little bit nervous to say this.’”“If you’re addicted to alcohol, to drugs, to sex, to the internet, there’s all sorts of help you can get to support you. If you’re addicted to work, everything is set up to support you in doing more of it.”“You need things that nurture your spirit. And as much as doing work that you love can feel great, it doesn’t always nurture your soul.”“We’re not stronger than that algorithm. We can’t be. So we need ways to support.”Key Takeaways Ask “What Do You Want?” This simple yet powerful question unlocks clarity and reveals what truly matters.Self-Awareness Fuels Success. Great leaders reflect on their actions and embrace honest feedback to grow.Energy Drives Achievement. Identify what energizes or drains you to create more capacity for meaningful work.Growth Comes From Discomfort. The most fulfilling moments come when you step outside your comfort zone.Presence Nourishes the Soul. Activities like walking, reading, or connecting with loved ones demand your full attention and lead to greater fulfillment.Community Accelerates Growth. Honest, supportive relationships amplify self-awareness and help you thrive.Resources Rich Litvin’s Website: richlitvin.comThe Prosperous Coach by Rich Litvin and Steve ChandlerRich Litvin’s 1 Insight PodcastWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/-xmywu_fDi0 This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

    IAN MORGAN CRON: The Path to Flourishing—and Freedom

    In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller interview Ian Morgan Cron, bestselling author, psychotherapist, and Episcopal priest. Ian shares insights from his new book, The Fix, offering a fresh perspective on how the 12 Steps can transform lives—even for those who don’t identify as addicts. This episode dives into universal human struggles, addressing how we numb pain, avoid truth, and search for solutions in all the wrong places. Memorable Quotes “Trying to solve an inside problem with an outside solution doesn’t work.”“Human beings are always on the prowl for a fix, looking for something to distract or numb the big ache of what it means to be simply human.”“All human beings are fundamentally restless.”“The whole point of the 12-step program is to facilitate a spiritual awakening of sufficient force that it expels the need for external solutions to internal problems.”“Real happiness comes when you make memories in community.”“People get sick in secret. They get well together.”“The three most courageous words in the world are ‘I need help.’”“Powerlessness is a superpower. When you finally admit ‘I am powerless’ or ‘I do not have control over nearly as much of life as I think I do’ suddenly a great, great burden is lifted from your shoulders.”“Ultimately what we want for ourselves and the people we love most is freedom.”“All addicts are frustrated mystics.”“As I’ve kind of unraveled the codependency addiction that I had, I’ve realized that I have to just be okay with people not changing. I want them to change. I pray for them to change. But they have to want it.”“Your addiction is just a bad solution to a very real problem.”“The number one addiction? Playing God.”Key Takeaways The Big Ache: Everyone carries a longing—an ache—for more. When unmet, it often leads to unhealthy patterns like workaholism, social media scrolling, or compulsive busyness.A Plan for Transformation: The 12 Steps offer a simple yet profound roadmap to freedom and flourishing, focusing on making peace with God, yourself, and others.Addiction Looks Different for High Achievers: Addiction isn’t always dramatic. For leaders and professionals, it might show up as perfectionism, control, or overworking.Healing Happens in Community: Isolation perpetuates pain; healing requires connection.Surrender Leads to Freedom: Admitting powerlessness isn’t failure—it’s the beginning of true transformation.Resources The Fix by Ian Morgan CronIan Morgan Cron’s Website: ianmorgancron.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/ZA73bOupPL8 This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Whether you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking greater fulfillment, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you align your priorities and grow into the person you’re meant to be. Memorable Quotes “Most worthwhile things are harder and take longer than we think they should… They’re really costly, and often painful, and always testing the limits of our patience.”“These experiences of resistance strengthen the architecture of our character enough to hold the weight of success. Sustainable success demands maturity.”“The hardest problems—the ones that make us want to throw in the towel—are often the exact reason we’re in the room.”“If you could dare to believe it, problems aren’t a bug, they’re a feature—a feature that grows us up.”“You can’t wait until you’ve arrived to start living fully. You have to build the life you want as you go.”“The process of becoming is the best part of being human. That sense of reaching for more, of fulfilling our potential, of growing into the kinds of people our younger selves would admire—that’s the heart of a life well-lived.” Key Takeaways Less is More. Growth requires focus and patience. Overextending leads to burnout, but prioritizing what truly matters ensures lasting impact.Problems Aren’t Problems. They’re not signs of failure but invitations to grow stronger and wiser. Accept them as part of the process.Keep On Going. Success takes time, persistence, and maturity. Stay committed to the journey, even when it’s hard.Remember What Matters.

    DANIEL HARKAVY: Coaching Yourself Toward Flourishing

    In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller sit down with Daniel Harkavy, CEO of Building Champions and author of The 7 Perspectives of Effective Leaders. Daniel shares practical strategies for thriving as a leader by first thriving as a person. From setting boundaries to crafting a life plan, his advice will help you create lasting success at work and at home. Memorable Quotes “[Being well-balanced] elevates leadership efficacy because people are making conscious and subconscious decisions about who you are as a person by what they see, what they observe, how you speak, how you feel.”“It’s very difficult to find a place of contentment if you’re playing the competition game.”“I’m not being driven out of a place of scarcity. I’m being driven out of a place of opportunity and out of a burden to help and an opportunity to make a difference.”“Self-leadership always precedes team effectiveness and team effectiveness always precedes organizational impact.”“Management meetings are a lot of telling. Coaching sessions are a lot of asking.”“I think that is what really needs to be at the heart of a coaching leader: It’s not that you are just comfortable with your people being better than you are. You actually desire it.”“A leader’s effectiveness is determined by just two things: The decisions they make and the influence they have.”“My morning routine is my vacation every day. I get a vacation first thing in the morning. I don’t have to wake up early. I get to.”Key Takeaways Self-Leadership First: Your effectiveness as a leader begins with how well you lead yourself. This includes setting boundaries and prioritizing personal well-being.Boundaries Enable Freedom: Setting clear boundaries helps leaders avoid burnout and stay fully present in their personal and professional lives.The Power of a Life Plan: Taking time to define what matters most reduces regret and ensures intentional investment in all areas of life.Coaching Leadership: Great leaders empower their teams by asking questions, fostering growth, and prioritizing curiosity over control.Contentment vs. Complacency: Strive for excellence from a place of abundance, not scarcity, by cultivating gratitude and staying grounded in what matters.Resources Becoming a Coaching Leader by Daniel HarkavyThe 7 Perspectives of Effective Leaders by Daniel HarkavyLiving Forward by Michael Hyatt and Daniel HarkavyLearn More About Building Champions: buildingchampions.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/buildingchampionsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/building-championsInstagram: www.instagram.com/buildingchampsPerformance Coaching: www.buildingchampions.com/performance-coachingExecutive Retreats: www.buildingchampions.com/executive-retreats Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/obYSZ1sTGP8 This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
