What Separates Dreamers From Quitters

It Takes Leaders with Vision to Help People with Dreams
Have you ever stopped to remember that every single person you meet has a dream? Some of those dreams are massive&mdash;building companies, creating wealth, impacting millions of people. And some are simple but just as powerful&mdash;a dream for peace, joy, or to be truly happy again. In this episode, I&rsquo;m breaking down one of the most important truths I&rsquo;ve ever learned: it takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams.
I share how your love&mdash;love for your family, your spouse, your children, your team&mdash;has to be greater than your fear, your adversity, or your obstacles. Because if you&rsquo;re not attaching your vision to something bigger than yourself, it&rsquo;s too easy to quit. I walk you through the difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational&mdash;and why only one of these creates lasting transformation.
We talk about the role of vision in leadership, not just in business, but in your home and in your own life. Whether you&rsquo;re leading a company, raising a family, or leading yourself, your job is to sell the dream&mdash;again and again&mdash;until everyone around you can see what you see. And here&rsquo;s the key: it can&rsquo;t just be words. You have to validate that vision with massive action so others know it&rsquo;s real.
I share how leaders from Jesus to Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs created movements because they didn&rsquo;t just speak dreams, they embodied them. And I give you a roadmap for becoming that kind of leader&mdash;the kind whose love and vision make them unstoppable. Because the truth is, your dream isn&rsquo;t just about you. It&rsquo;s about the people whose lives you&rsquo;re meant to change when you finally step into your calling.

What It Takes to Overcome the Unimaginable Feat. Austin Hatch

How Do You Keep Going When Life Hits You Twice?
Today&rsquo;s guest, Austin Hatch, is a living, breathing miracle&mdash;and one of the most inspiring men I&rsquo;ve ever had the privilege to sit across from. Austin survived not one, but two plane crashes. The first claimed the lives of his mother and siblings. The second, just eight years later, took his father and stepmother and left Austin in a coma, fighting for his life. Yet somehow, against all odds, he not only survived&mdash;he found a way to thrive.
In this conversation, Austin and I go deep into what it takes to get back up when life knocks you down harder than you ever thought possible. He shares how he rebuilt his body, his faith, and his identity after losing almost everything&mdash;and why gratitude, not bitterness, became his anchor. Austin&rsquo;s story is not about avoiding pain; it&rsquo;s about choosing purpose through it, believing that God can still write a story of victory even when tragedy has stolen so much.
We talk about what it means to carry grief without letting it define you, to forgive life for what it&rsquo;s taken, and to find meaning in the middle of unimaginable suffering. Austin&rsquo;s journey to eventually fulfill his dream of playing basketball for the University of Michigan is a testament to what happens when resilience meets faith.
This episode is about more than survival&mdash;it&rsquo;s about transformation. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered whether you can rise again after devastation, Austin&rsquo;s story is living proof that you can.

What’s Keeping You From Living At 100%

Raise Your Identity, Raise Your Life
Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you work, life somehow snaps you back to the same level&mdash;like there&rsquo;s an invisible ceiling holding you down? That ceiling is your identity. In this episode, I break down why your identity is the thermostat of your life&mdash;the unseen regulator that determines how much success, love, happiness, and fulfillment you&rsquo;ll allow yourself to experience.
I&rsquo;ll walk you through what I call the &ldquo;holy trilogy&rdquo; of raising your identity: faith, intention, and association. These three elements are the most powerful levers you can pull if you want to raise the temperature of your life and start living at a higher level. I share how my faith has been the foundation that allows me to walk with confidence, why giving yourself credit for your intentions can immediately increase your self-worth, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can elevate you beyond what you ever thought possible.
This conversation isn&rsquo;t just about theory&mdash;it&rsquo;s about practical action. I&rsquo;ll show you how to evaluate the people you spend the most time with, why emotional maturity is the hidden trait you need to look for, and how to separate yourself from associations that lower your identity. More importantly, you&rsquo;ll learn how to step into the character you were born to play&mdash;the version of you that God created to do something meaningful and great in this world.
You weren&rsquo;t put here to live small. You were born to contribute, to grow, and to impact others in ways both big and small. And the key to unlocking that life isn&rsquo;t out there somewhere&mdash;it&rsquo;s already inside you, waiting to be raised.

Why Who You Become Matters More Than What You Do Feat. Dr. Josh Axe

What if the key to healing isn&rsquo;t just physical&mdash;but spiritual, emotional, and mental too?
In this powerful conversation with my friend Dr. Josh Axe, we dive into what true health really means&mdash;and it goes way beyond diet and exercise. Josh has helped millions of people worldwide reclaim their health, but what I love most about him is that he&rsquo;s not afraid to connect the dots between your body, your mind, and your faith. We talk about how the struggles you face in your health often mirror the struggles in your spirit and why healing starts from the inside out.
Josh opens up about his own journey&mdash;the heartbreak of watching his mom battle illness, the setbacks he faced building his career, and the doubts he had to fight through to stay on his calling. What came out of those seasons wasn&rsquo;t just knowledge&mdash;it was wisdom. And today, he&rsquo;s sharing that wisdom with us in a way that will completely change how you think about your own health.
We also talk about why so many people chase quick fixes and end up more broken than before. Josh and I break down how to build rhythms in your life that actually last&mdash;from the food you eat, to the way you handle stress, to the faith practices that keep you anchored. This is about creating alignment in every part of who you are so you can operate at your best.
If you&rsquo;ve been frustrated with your health, if you&rsquo;ve been carrying stress or pain that feels heavier than it should, or if you&rsquo;ve been asking God for healing but not sure where to start&mdash;this conversation is going to give you clarity, hope, and practical steps forward.
