Can you imagine if all of your dreams, inspirations, and the things you wanted out of life were stripped away from you in a moment? It makes you really consider what matters most. Our guest actually did die at the age of 20, after being hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70 MPH. After six days in a coma, he woke up only to be told he’d never walk again. Well, not only can this person walk – he’s run a 52-mile ultramarathon, built a successful business, and wrote an incredible bestselling...

Do you wish there was someone in your world willing to hold you accountable? Most of us want someone in our life who has a vision of what’s possible for us and is willing to take a stand for our greatness, even when we’re fighting for our limitations. Tim Beverlin found that person – and he found it in the form of a five-year-old girl. In this episode, Tim shares his own 66-day journey so you can see what it looks like to leverage accountability and form that first power habit – and...

If you want to build an extraordinary business, if you really want to serve your customers at the highest level, your best bet is to build habit-forming products. We’ve struggled with this ourselves, and in our journey to learn more about creating world-class products we stumbled across a book called Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products. Hooked was enlightening and the insights are helping in our own business, so we invited the author, Nir Eyal, to teach us more about what it...

Are you limiting the possibilities of anyone in your world? We believe that leadership is teaching people how to think so that they can get what they need when they need it – but too often, we limit those around us, especially when it comes to creativity. However, achieving extraordinary results, even if you’re not an artist or don’t consider yourself creative, requires a level of unfettered creativity. Todd Henry, host of The Accidental Creative, joins this episode to share how we...

What if we told you that, every single day, in spite of your best intentions, you were accidentally diminishing the capabilities of the people in your world? And what if we told you that, instead of putting a ceiling of achievement over other people's’ heads, we can learn to become smarter and multiply their possibilities moving forward? It’s a big concept, but in The ONE Thing, we teach you how to think BIG and go small – so today we want to offer you the small actions you can take to...

In the last episode, Keith Cunningham shared the story of losing $100MM, the lessons he learned, and the habits that allowed him to make that money back in spades. If you haven’t already listened, we highly recommend checking it out (and taking notes). In this episode, we continue that conversation and Keith teaches us why thinking is the most important thing in business, and some of the questions that we need to think about if we want to achieve extraordinary results. Want to win a...

Can you imagine a habit so powerful that it was worth investing $100,000,000 to acquire it? Our guest, Keith Cunningham, joins us for a two-part interview because he literally paid that tuition – but he learned a lot from losing $100MM, and built habits that allowed him to make that money back, plus some. Now Keith is traveling around the world teaching others how they can acquire this ONE habit that will make everything else in their business life easier or unnecessary, and he wrote...

How do you think about creating wealth… or do you even think about it? In this episode, we reveal the mindset required to create a net worth of $20M, $100M, or even more. The people we are talking about today did not inherit their money – they just think differently about wealth creation. To teach us about this mindset, we are talking to Richard C. Wilson, CEO of the Family Office Club Association, the largest community in the industry with offices that manage in excess of $1...

Are you doing the same thing every day, working hard, without actually living your purpose? Sometimes it takes something catastrophic to compel us to do something different, or to take an action that we previously didn’t have the confidence to take. For Jeff Sanders, host of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast, it took being hospitalized for him to realize that most of the things on his calendar simply didn’t matter. Jeff completely changed the way he manages his time, and the experience...

Today, we want to take you on a journey. We host this podcast to show you new ways to live The ONE Thing at a higher level, and one of the ways that we learn best is through story, or through other people’s experiences. Our guest, Dan Quiggle, was well on his way to building a successful business – but the number of hours he worked prevented him from doing the thing that mattered most: being a father who was present for his daughter. While you listen to Dan’s story, assess where you...

Imagine each of the seven circles of your life – spirituality, physical health, personal life, relationships, your job, your business, and your finances – is a ball, and you are juggling them. What happens if you drop the relationship ball? If you drop that ball, it breaks. We find that people often spend so much time focusing on their job, business, and finances that they, ultimately, end up neglecting their relationships, spirituality, health, and personal life. Jordan Harbinger,...

Are you empowering the people on your team? Anyone can be a leader, and a good leader empowers the people around them to take control of their time and focus on their priorities. On this episode, we have an opportunity to discover how The ONE Thing has been implemented by the #1 highest ranking official in the U.S. Air Force, Chief Master Sergeant Kaleth O. Wright, to more effectively lead his team, manage his time, and protect this country. In this episode you will...

Have you ever blocked out time on your calendar for something that really mattered, and then life got in the way? We know it happens to us, and has happened, at some point, to all of the 1,700 people who attended the keynote that we are sharing in this episode. This is part two of a two-part series on time blocking secrets. In part one, we discussed some of the changes you can make in your life to move forward on the road to mastery. In this episode, we answer questions about what...

Have you ever tried time blocking? If so, do you have a habit of time blocking every single day and protecting that time, no matter what? If you answered no, don’t worry. We haven’t mastered this habit either, and we all struggle with this. But we are trying to do better and improve, every single day, and we have learned a lot that we’d like to share with you. This episode is the first half of a keynote we delivered on time blocking secrets, in which we focus on how you can begin to...

When it comes to The ONE Thing, the tip of the iceberg is your results, or your profit – but what lies underneath the surface, supporting those results? We can’t get the right results if we don’t take the right actions, we can’t choose the right actions if we don’t know what our priorities are, and we can’t know what your priorities are if we don’t have clarity on our purpose. That’s why we’re sharing a conversation with a woman who is completely driven by purpose, and we encourage you to...

Do you know how to show up as the most effective leader that you possibly can? We know that many of you are leaders – business owners, entrepreneurs, or employees in a management role – who are out to make a big change in the world, and you want to influence the people around you to create a big impact. But how? To find out, we sat down to speak with Mark C. Crowley, the author of Lead from the Heart: Transformational Leadership for the 21st Century. In this episode you will...

When you go to social events, are you networking or are you not working? We’ve been there – going to networking events and masterminds without really getting or giving any value in the experiences that we share with others. But with a little bit of knowledge, we can stop wasting time and start networking with purpose. To help us, we sit down with a human behavior expert: Vanessa Van Edwards, the lead investigator at her research lab, Science of People, and the bestselling author of...

Have you ever found yourself getting home after work and sitting down with the people who matter most to you... but then your mind goes somewhere else? We know that many of you are struggling to stay present, every day, so we wanted to share this conversation between Geoff Woods and Trevor Mauch, host of the CarrotCast. Trevor invited Geoff onto his show, but then we ended up turning the tables to ask questions about how he can start being more present. As you listen to the episode,...
