Ever wonder how simply eating steak (yes, just steak) could boost your energy, reduce inflammation, and strip off stubborn weight you’ve carried for years? That’s exactly what Dan Sullivan and I are discussing in this special mini-episode on the Carnivore Diet. We’re talking “all meat, all the time,” how we navigate restaurants and travel, the surprising drop in food cravings, and the best ways to monitor your health so you know exactly what’s happening in your body. Plus, I’ll share why I originally decided to go carnivore after battling colorectal cancer—and how it helped clear my IBS issues for good. If you’re curious about a diet that strips away the nonsense and might radically improve your blood markers, this is a must-listen. Remember, we’re not doctors—just two guys seeing remarkable results.

I've been doing podcasts since the early 2000s - before it was mainstream and way before it was easy. I remember when you needed a "hack" just to get these audio files onto your iPod. (Remember those things?) It's wild to think about how far it's come. Back then, people thought it was a giant waste of time. Now, podcasting is arguably the most powerful, dominant form of media of our time. Here’s why: Podcasts are a dominant media platform because they are intimate and are not regulated.

In 1987, Dan set a goal to live until he was 156. That was ambitious then, but it might not be that ambitious now. Today, we have access to over 750,000 biomarkers that give us real information about what is happening inside our bodies. But the sad truth is, our current medical system is 30 years behind what is actually available - like these biomarker tests. It’s up to you to go get it and take control over your health. Dan and I recently shared a 10 minute podcast on how the carnivore diet has helped us both make a 180 in our personal health. We have dropped unnecessary weight, sure, but more importantly, we feel better, have more energy, and our blood tests PROVE WE ARE HEALTHIER. The tools are available, and taking action could save your life, improve your quality of life, and help you live longer.

When your gut is messed up, your head is messed up. I know this first hand because the reality is I’ve never been the same since I had colorectal cancer. I battled years of gut issues, discomfort, and pain. I’ve tried everything you can think of but nothing has worked as well as the Carnivore Diet. It's been a game-changer and a life-saver. For those who don’t know, the Carnivore Diet is meat only. Now, I know what you're thinking – all meat, no vegetables? It may sound crazy, but trust me, the benefits are undeniable and I have the blood results to prove it. My cholesterol dropped 20% in 30 days and after 11 months, it has been the single best health hack I have used in 10 years. Dan has been on the Carnivore Diet for 6 months and experienced amazing results including losing 20lbs (which greatly relieved the pain from his arthritis). With the carnivore diet and stem cell treatments, Dan’s tendons are being regenerated. You can see all these benefits when you look at him, and he is 80 years old!

You're making good money but working yourself to death, or worse... you’re a "Poorly Paid Thought Leader" with followers but an empty bank account. Sound familiar? JJ Virgin and I have worked together for over a decade, and we've both been through the entrepreneurial meat grinder and lived to tell about it. When I had stage three color-rectal cancer, and went through 33 radiation treatments, I wrote a book, created a course, and the day after my 34th treatment, I spoke at Tony Robbins' Business Mastery. I was 130 pounds, fresh off opiates, and went to get a spray tan so I didn’t look like an alien on stage. At the same time, JJ’s son was hit by a car and in a coma, right in the middle of launching her Virgin Diet empire. She was battling for her business, but most importantly, her son’s life. Talk about crisis management! Here are three golden nuggets from our chat that could save you years of pain: 1. STOP CREATING NEW STUFF: JJ nailed it - entrepreneurs love to create, but hate to sell. When something doesn't work, they create something new instead of fixing what they have. The secret? Create ONE thing, test it with your warm audience, and tweak until it works. If you can't sell it to friends, you won't sell it to strangers. 2. DON'T SCALE TOO SOON: JJ shared how she got burned when The Virgin Diet exploded. She had $500K in shakes ready to ship but no customer service system in place. The result? 300+ angry customer emails on day one while she's sitting next to her son with a coma in the hospital. Scale only after you've got your systems dialed in. 3. BUILD WHAT YOU LOVE (AND DELEGATE THE REST): You CAN build a business doing what you love and very little of what you hate. Why? Because somewhere out there, someone LOVES doing the stuff you hate. Dan Sullivan calls it “The Who. Not How.” Your job is to focus on your genius zone. (And that’s why I run the Superpower Accelerator.) Want to dive deeper into building multiple streams of income the right way?

“I was told I didn't matter, that my only value was in being a good wife and “Achi-Bachi.” But I refused to accept that. I broke free from centuries-old cultural conditioning and trauma and created a new path – the Jamali Method. Jamali is a mission and movement to bring freedom and purpose to Muslim women around the globe; to empower them to break free of the chains of societal and cultural oppression, and step into leadership – for their family, community, and businesses.” Meet Eram Saaed, the world's #1 coach for Professional Muslim women, a catalyst for change, empowerment, abundance and connection bridged by Islamic principles with modern leadership. Born in Pakistan, she was raised in a culture where women’s voices don’t matter and are expected to be silent and submissive. After two failed marriages, physical and emotional abuse, and being financially bankrupt, Eram hit rock bottom. It was then, in her darkest hour, she discovered the infinite wisdom of Allah and developed a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand approach that has transformed her into a global leader. Today, Eram is trusted by and has impacted over 23 million Muslim women worldwide, empowering them to balance faith and freedom. With her daughter Natasha by her side, they offer guidance, tools, accountability, and support to help them achieve clarity, purpose, courage, dignity, self-love, justice, abundance, and freedom bridged with faith. Welcome to the movement. Abundance creates peace. The Jamali Method focuses on three foundations: Jamali Freedom helps you find clarity, confidence and independence regardless of past obstacles and adversity. Jamali Purpose helps you find your passion and purpose based on what your gifts are, even if you can’t see it clearly for yourself at first.

In this episode, Dan reveals that he filled 60 notebooks only for them to be washed away in a flood. He could have mourned this, but instead chose to see it as closure to a past era. Mike shares a similar experience where he threw away every box he had after his divorce. These are life changing moments, where one radical act of letting go, either by nature or by choice, transformed both Dan’s life and Mike’s life. Dan discusses how high achievers struggle with overcoming what seem like small obstacles to many because their attachment to a vision isn’t linked to a measurable, realistic goal. Their vision in general, be it perfection or manufactured by someone else, may not even be “real.” And this can be tragic, and in some cases, fatal.

Timestamps in Essential Quotes History of the Word 'Collaboration: “Meaning, because if you're a World War Two movie buff, in the second World War, collaboration is what got you shot. What it meant was that you were you. You were collaborating with the enemy, and that got you shot." — Dan Sullivan [00:01:47 → 00:02:04] The Shift to a Network Economy: "So my sense is that it's the change in the structure of the economy that has put collaboration into one, a more positive light. But the other thing is, it's now possible to put capabilities together electronically in a way that you could never do in, you know, where you were separated by distance and somebody was talented in Cleveland, another person was talented in Chicago, but they couldn't really collaborate. Now they can." — Dan Sullivan [00:03:08 → 00:03:39] The Essence of Cash Confidence in Entrepreneurship: "Cash confidence means that they don't need the money right away.

Today’s podcast is going to completely shift how you think about hiring and building teams. Dan dropped a major revelation during the conversation - instead of "hiring" people, we should be CASTING them like a theater director casts actors for roles. Dan and Jeff Madoff are working on a new book called "Casting, Not Hiring" and the core concept is brilliant: Don't just evaluate skills and experience. AUDITION people to find the perfect ensemble with the right chemistry, charisma and compatibility to create MAGIC together. Imagine judging potential hires not just on their resume, but on how well they perform and gel with your existing cast. No more ill-fitting "employees" - just an energetic group unified to co-create an incredible performance. Dan and Mike talked about how this casting mindset can infuse work with meaning, excitement and a sense of being part of something bigger than just a job. They explored: There is so much insight in this vision, Mike can't wait for you to experience the "aha!" moments Dan sparked in him. Give the episode a listen and you'll be dreaming of playwright bios and marquee lights for your company in no time.
