THE ED MYLETT SHOW

What does real leadership look like when the building is on fire…literally? In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend and guest host Michael Savage and a man whose life defines servant leadership at the highest level, Vice Admiral James W. Crawford III. Jim was inside the Pentagon on 9/11 when it was struck. He later helped advise on some of the most consequential military decisions of our generation. And today, he serves as President of Texas Southern University, shaping the next generation of leaders. This conversation is not about flashy leadership. It’s not about titles, money, or Instagram fame. It’s about character. It’s about humility. It’s about what you draw on when all eyes turn to you and the pressure is on. Jim said something that stopped me in my tracks. In times of stress, you either become who you are or you revert to your training. That day in the Pentagon changed the trajectory of his life. And yet, when he talks about it, you hear gratitude, not ego. Service, not self. We went deep into what leadership really demands. Humility as a shield against ego. Authenticity in unguarded moments. Mission first. People always. Jim opened up about imposter syndrome, about looking in the mirror at three stars on his uniform and still being astounded it was him. He shared how working on his grandfather’s tobacco farm shaped his values, and why he chose education over seven figure corporate roles after retiring from the Navy. His answer was simple and powerful. Service does not end when the uniform comes off. If you are an entrepreneur, a founder, a CEO, a parent, or someone who simply wants to lead your life better, this is a masterclass. We talked about raising agile thinkers in an AI driven world. About how fear can freeze you if you let it. About why the best leaders are not the smartest person in the room, but the one who knows where their reservoir of strength comes from when the storm hits. Jim’s reservoir is his faith. Yours might be something else. But you better know what it is. This episode reminded me why I started this show in the first place. Real leadership is about people and for people. And when you get that right, everything changes. Key Takeaways: Why humility is the leader’s greatest shield against ego and arrogance What it means to be authentic in unguarded moments Mission first. People always. How to integrate both without burning out How to lead through crisis by reverting to your training and values Why constant learning and agility are essential in an AI driven world The importance of identifying your personal reservoir of strength before the storm comes How service can and should continue long after titles and uniforms are gone Share this with someone who wants to lead better, serve deeper, and live with greater purpose.

What if the most dangerous thing in your life isn’t failure… but the fact that you’re not the one driving? In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together two men who know what it feels like to lose control of their lives and then fight their way back into the driver’s seat. Darren Waller and Rod Carew open up about addiction, pressure, identity, faith, and the discipline it takes to reclaim your life when it starts spiraling. I share a story in this episode about a terrifying cab ride I took with my daughter. For 25 minutes, we were completely out of control. Someone else was driving recklessly, and we were just passengers in the back seat. That experience became a metaphor for something I see all the time. So many people are not actually driving their own lives. Their fears are driving. Their past is driving. Their addiction to approval is driving. Their anger, insecurity, comparison, or trauma is driving. And they are just along for the ride, hoping it does not end in a crash. Darren Waller talks about what it was like when addiction was behind the wheel of his life. From the outside, he was living the dream. Inside, he was losing control. He shares how recovery forced him to confront what was really driving him and how taking radical ownership changed everything. Rod Carew shares his journey from humble beginnings to Hall of Fame greatness, and how discipline, faith, and personal responsibility kept him focused when the spotlight and expectations could have easily taken over. This episode is about awareness. You cannot fix what you are unwilling to face. If you are reacting instead of choosing, if your emotions are dictating your behavior, if you keep repeating the same patterns and calling it bad luck, there is a good chance you are not in control. And the truth is, until you decide to take the wheel back, your life will keep zigging and zagging in ways you do not want. I want you walking away from this conversation asking yourself one powerful question: Who is driving my life right now? Because once you are honest about that, you can change it. You can grab the wheel. You can slow things down. You can choose a different direction. But you cannot do that if you stay in the back seat. Key Takeaways The 7 signs you may not be in control of your own life How fear silently dictates your decisions and limits your future Darren Waller’s journey from addiction to elite performance Rod Carew’s discipline blueprint for staying grounded in success Why radical ownership is the first step to real freedom How to move from being reactive to being intentional The one question that can instantly shift your trajectory This is your wake up call. You were not born to sit in the back seat of your own life. It is time to take control. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What If Your Next Shot… Your Next Sale… Your Next Decision… Is the One That Changes Everything? Today I’ve got one of your all-time favorite guests back on the show, and there’s a reason the downloads go through the roof every time he’s here. When I sit down with Alan Stein Jr, you get value in every single minute. We’re talking about mindset, emotional control, confidence, intensity, and what it really takes to separate yourself from the pack. Alan’s new book, Next Play, isn’t just about sports. It’s about life. It’s about what you do after you miss the shot, lose the sale, get knocked down, or make a mistake you wish you could take back. We unpack what Alan calls having a “whiteboard memory.” The great ones erase the miss and step into the next moment like it never happened. Think about that. How many of us drag the last mistake into the next opportunity? How many people let one bad quarter, one breakup, one failure define their identity? Alan and I talk about why attaching your self-worth to outcomes is a trap. Confidence is not built on results. It’s built on process, preparation, keeping the promises you make to yourself, and mastering the fundamentals. That’s where real separation happens. We also dive into one of the most powerful lessons I’ve ever heard about excellence. Alan shares the story of working with Kobe Bryant at 3:30 in the morning. Not flashy drills. Not tricks. Just relentless attention to the basics. Kobe told him, “I never get bored with the basics.” That line alone could change your life. The great ones do not skip steps. They do not get distracted by hype. They obsess over mastery. And they stack that obsession for years. That is how you create separation no one can catch. But this episode is not just about performance. It’s about fulfillment. Alan challenges the idea that we should chase happiness. Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is built. It’s built through resilience, emotional regulation, accountability, and learning how to move to the next play without becoming a victim of the last one. We talk about parenting, leadership, business, relationships, and what to do when you’re flat on the canvas and need a way forward. If you’re in a season where you need a reset, this conversation is your blueprint. I’ll tell you this. The most powerful thing Alan said today is that your next play can be your best play. Not because the last one was perfect, but because you learned from it. Your mistakes are not your identity. They are part of your collage. And if you’re willing to forgive yourself, adjust, and step forward with intention, your next 50 years can be your best 50 years. This one will hit you right between the eyes in the best way possible. Key Takeaways: Why you must separate your emotions from your performance How to build confidence through process instead of outcomes The power of mastering the basics and stacking consistency over time What to do when you’ve failed and need to create your next play Why fulfillment beats chasing happiness every time How accountability and emotional regulation shape leaders and families If you’re ready to stop replaying the last mistake and start attacking the next opportunity, this episode is for you. Let’s go make your next play your best one.

What if the only thing standing between you and your next level is the story you keep telling yourself about not being good enough? In this mashup, I bring together some of the toughest, most battle tested men and women I know to talk about something almost nobody wants to admit. That quiet voice that says you do not belong here. That you are not ready. That you are going to get exposed. You are going to hear from Michael Chandler, Damar Hamlin, Fallon Taylor, Andre Ward, Michael Chandler, Jason Wilson, and Dean Graziosi as they open up about imposter syndrome, doubt, setbacks, and the defining decision to rise anyway. Michael Chandler talks about the thermometer in your life and how many of us unconsciously cool ourselves down when success starts heating up. He shares how a little bit of imposter syndrome can keep you humble and hungry, but how letting it dominate your thinking will sabotage everything. Andre Ward breaks down what it really means to absorb a punch and still throw one back. Not just in the ring, but in life. Fallon Taylor and Damar Hamlin remind us that sometimes you do not find your strength until you are forced to confront your fragility. Jason Wilson speaks powerfully about identity and manhood, and what it takes to believe you are worthy of the stage you are standing on. Dean Graziosi brings it home with the truth that you cannot give away what you have not built within yourself first. One of the biggest themes in this episode is preparation. Confidence is not something you wish for. It is something you earn. When you prepare at a level that most people are unwilling to, you begin to silence that voice that says you do not belong. The separator in life is not talent. It is the ability to take a hit, keep your composure, and keep moving forward without obsessing over what everyone else thinks. You are going to hear story after story of people who did not feel ready, did not feel qualified, did not feel worthy, but chose to act anyway. They did not wait for the doubt to disappear. They built a new self concept through action, discipline, faith, and relentless preparation. That is how you close the gap between who you are today and who you are capable of becoming. If you have ever questioned whether you belong in the room, whether you are capable of the dream in your heart, this episode is for you. You were not born average. You were not born to sit on the sidelines of your own life. You were born to max it out. And the moment you decide you are worthy of the stage is the moment everything begins to change. Key Takeaways Why a small amount of imposter syndrome can fuel growth, but letting it dominate will cap your potential How preparation builds real confidence that no critic can take away The true separator in life is the ability to absorb a punch and keep throwing Why your self concept determines the temperature of your success How to stop worrying about public perception and start running your own race The power of earning your belief in yourself through discipline and action Why you have a duty to maximize your gifts so you can serve others at a higher level 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What If Self-Confidence Isn’t the Answer and Self-Trust Is What You’ve Been Missing? Most people think the opposite of self-doubt is confidence. In this conversation, Dr. Shadé Zahrai completely flips that belief on its head. She is a behavioral researcher, bestselling author of Big Trust, and one of the most insightful minds I’ve ever sat down with when it comes to understanding why high performers still struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and that constant feeling of not being enough. I’ll be honest, her work challenged some of the things I’ve taught for years, and that’s exactly why this episode matters. We dive deep into why waiting to feel confident is keeping so many people stuck and why self-trust always has to come first. Dr. Zahrai breaks down the four core attributes that shape how we experience doubt, including acceptance, agency, autonomy, and emotional adaptability. She explains why doubt isn’t something to eliminate, but something to rise above by strengthening who you are underneath it. If you’ve ever felt like an anxious overachiever who keeps pushing but never quite feels settled, you’re going to feel seen in this conversation. One of the most powerful parts of this episode is how expectation bias quietly shapes your reality. Dr. Zahrai shares fascinating research that shows how the scars you believe you’re carrying can completely change how you experience conversations, relationships, and opportunities, even when those scars are not real. We also talk about why validation from achievement, praise, or external approval is one of the most dangerous traps high performers fall into and why it leaves so many successful people feeling empty. We also get extremely practical. Dr. Zahrai walks through tools that actually work, including how to stop obsessing over outcomes, how to quiet the inner critical voices that sabotage momentum, and why self-forgetting through service is one of the fastest ways to restore confidence. I also share a technique from her book that has already changed how I deal with worry, and if you’re someone who struggles with anxiety or rumination, this alone is worth listening to the episode. This conversation is not surface-level motivation. It’s real inner work. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you know you’re capable of becoming, this episode will give you a framework to rebuild trust in yourself and move forward with clarity and peace. Key Takeaways Why self-trust always comes before confidence and action The four core attributes that protect you from self-doubt How expectation bias shapes your relationships and results Why obsession with outcomes erodes self-belief A simple daily practice to reduce worry and overthinking How to quiet your inner critic without forcing fake positivity Listen now, and start building the kind of trust in yourself that no setback can take away.

What happens when winning stops feeling like enough and achievement quietly turns into a trap? In this mashup episode, I want to talk about something I see all the time with high performers. People who are doing well on the outside but feel empty, restless, or disconnected on the inside. This conversation is about escaping the achievement trap and redefining success in a way that actually brings peace, fulfillment, and joy. I sit down with LeAnn Rimes to unpack what it looks like to grow up chasing validation and applause, only to realize later that external success cannot heal internal wounds. LeAnn opens up about the emotional cost of performing for approval, the courage it takes to slow down, and how self awareness and self compassion became the real breakthroughs in her life. Her honesty is powerful and it speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt pressure to keep proving themselves. I also bring in Rob Dyrdek, who shares how redefining his definition of winning changed everything. Rob talks about shifting from grinding nonstop to building a life by design, where happiness, relationships, and impact matter just as much as productivity. This is a masterclass in intentional living and understanding that fulfillment is not found in the next milestone, but in alignment with who you really are. Throughout this mashup, I break down the mindset shifts that help you move from chasing achievements to creating meaning. We talk about why so many driven people feel unfulfilled, how comparison fuels the trap, and what it actually takes to feel proud of your life, not just your resume. If you have ever thought, I should feel happier than this by now, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Why constant achievement can quietly disconnect you from fulfillment How external validation creates pressure instead of peace The mindset shift from proving yourself to accepting yourself How to redefine success in a way that supports happiness and relationships Why slowing down can actually accelerate clarity and purpose This is about learning to win without losing yourself. It is about success that feels good to live with, not just impressive to look at. My hope is that this episode gives you permission to redefine the game and start playing it in a way that truly serves you. ⁠⁠⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the pain you’re fighting isn’t coming from your body at all, but from patterns wired deep inside your brain? In this powerful conversation, I sit down once again with one of the most impactful thinkers I know, Dr. Daniel Amen, to unpack a truth that changed how I see stress, pain, trauma, and healing. This is his fourth time on the show, and there’s a reason you keep asking for him. Dr. Amen has helped millions of people understand their brains better, including me, and his newest work hit me harder than any book he’s written before. We go deep into the idea that pain is not just a signal from your body, but a story your brain is telling. Whether it shows up as back pain, anxiety, depression, or chronic stress, the root often lives in specific brain circuits that get hijacked by trauma, unresolved emotion, inflammation, and unhealthy habits. I open up about my own childhood, the stress patterns I still carry, and how those experiences changed my brain in ways I never fully understood until now. Dr. Amen breaks down the pain HQ loop and explains how emotional pain, physical pain, and even moral or spiritual pain can trap you in cycles of suffering that feel impossible to escape. We talk about adverse childhood experiences, why unresolved rage often turns into chronic pain, and how habits like poor sleep, diet, and suppressed emotions quietly flip genetic switches that impact not just you, but future generations. But this conversation is not just about understanding the problem. It is about getting out. We walk through the healing loop and the exact tools that calm the brain, raise heart rate variability, and restore control over your nervous system. From diaphragmatic breathing and progressive relaxation to journaling, EMDR, hyperbaric oxygen, and nutritional support, this episode is packed with practical ways to take your power back. If you have ever felt stuck in your body, your mind, or your emotions, this episode will change how you see yourself. The real question Dr. Amen leaves us with is simple and life-altering: Is what you’re doing right now good for your brain or bad for it? Answer that honestly, and everything starts to shift. Key Takeaways: Why pain is often created and amplified by brain circuits, not just physical injury How childhood trauma and stress hijack the brain’s pain and suffering pathways What the pain HQ loop is and how it keeps people stuck in chronic stress and pain Simple daily practices that calm your nervous system and improve brain health Why your habits today affect your children and grandchildren more than you think This is one of those episodes you’ll want to listen to more than once and share with someone who’s been carrying pain they cannot explain.

What if your biggest memory struggles have nothing to do with your intelligence and everything to do with how your brain is wired? In this mashup episode, I bring together four of the most respected minds in brain performance and human potential to break down how memory really works and how you can unlock it at a much higher level starting today. If you have ever said “I’m just bad at remembering names,” “I can’t focus,” or “I don’t retain what I read,” this conversation is going to change how you see yourself. You’re going to hear from Jim Kwik, Dr. Caroline Leaf, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and John Assaraf as we unpack the four primary brain types and why trying to learn the same way as everyone else is holding you back. Jim Kwik explains how identifying your dominant brain type allows you to finally work with your mind instead of fighting it. Dr. Caroline Leaf dives into the science of neuroplasticity and how your thoughts and habits literally reshape your brain over time. Dr. Joe Dispenza connects memory, focus, and emotional regulation, showing how stress and identity can either enhance or hijack your ability to learn. And John Assaraf breaks down how belief systems and repetition program your subconscious to either expand or limit what your brain retains. What I love about this mashup is how practical it is. This is not theory for the sake of theory. These are real tools you can use to read faster, remember names, improve focus, make better decisions, and even communicate more effectively with the people around you. You will start to see why some people thrive in fast paced environments, why others excel at deep analysis, and why creativity, empathy, and logic all play different roles in how we store and retrieve information. I truly believe that once you understand how your brain is designed to operate, you stop labeling yourself as broken or behind. You start seeing your mind as an asset that simply needs the right operating system. This episode will help you stop forcing strategies that do not fit you and start building memory, focus, and confidence in a way that feels natural and sustainable. If you are serious about improving your performance, your learning, and your ability to show up at your best, this mashup will give you clarity and momentum. Your brain is capable of far more than you have been taught. It is time to unlock it. Key Takeaways: The four primary brain types and how each one processes information differently Why forgetting information is often a strategy problem, not an intelligence problem How stress, emotions, and identity directly impact memory and focus Practical techniques to improve retention, recall, and learning speed How to communicate and collaborate better by understanding other brain types Why aligning your learning style with your brain wiring accelerates growth ⁠⁠⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the key to healing your body, calming your mind, and extending your life has been inside you the whole time? In this episode, I sit down with one of the most important scientists alive today, Dr. Kevin Tracey, and I do not say that lightly. Kevin is a neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and the pioneer behind a discovery that could fundamentally change how we treat disease, mental health, and inflammation. I have wanted him on this show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. This is one of those episodes where you grab a notebook, because it will completely shift how you think about your body, your brain, and your health. We break down the vagus nerve in plain English and why it may be the master regulator of inflammation, stress, trauma, and longevity. Kevin explains how chronic inflammation is linked to most of the diseases that shorten our lives and how the nervous system acts like the brakes that keep inflammation from spinning out of control. He walks us through the groundbreaking FDA approved therapy using vagus nerve stimulation that is already helping people with rheumatoid arthritis get out of wheelchairs, return to work, and reclaim their lives. And yes, he believes this is just the beginning. We also go deep into the connection between childhood trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and physical disease. Kevin explains how unhealed stress can leave a biological imprint on the nervous system for decades and how that imprint can quietly drive inflammation throughout the body. We talk about depression, anxiety, heart rate variability, and why your body may be stuck in fight or flight without you even realizing it. This is not theory. This is real science, explained in a way that actually makes sense. Then we get practical. We talk about daily habits that cost nothing but can make a real difference. Breathing, prayer, meditation, cold exposure, exercise, sleep, and why doing hard things on purpose can build both mental resilience and physical health. Kevin is refreshingly honest about what science knows, what it does not know yet, and what questions we should be asking next. That humility is exactly why I trust his work. This conversation left me fired up, hopeful, and honestly in awe of what is coming next in medicine. If you care about your health, your performance, your longevity, or understanding how your mind and body truly work together, this is a must listen. And do yourself a favor and grab his book The Great Nerve. There is not a wasted page. Key Takeaways Why inflammation is at the root of most chronic disease and how the nervous system controls it How the vagus nerve acts as the brake pedal for stress, trauma, and inflammation The revolutionary FDA approved vagus nerve therapy already changing lives How childhood stress can biologically shape your health decades later Simple daily practices that may help calm your nervous system and improve wellbeing If you want to understand the future of health and how to take control of your body from the inside out, this episode will open your eyes.

What if the real reason most people never reach their dreams has nothing to do with failure at all and everything to do with something far more subtle and dangerous? In this mashup episode, I bring together three powerful conversations that cut straight to the core of what actually derails greatness. I am joined by James Clear, Rich Diviney, and Jason Wilson to expose the silent forces that quietly pull people away from the life they know they are capable of living. This is not about fear of failure or lack of talent. It is about the habits, identities, and emotional patterns that slowly convince you to play smaller than you were born to play. James Clear breaks down how tiny compromises in daily habits compound into massive distance from your dreams. He explains why most people never fall off track all at once, but instead drift through subtle decisions that feel harmless in the moment. Rich Diviney brings a powerful perspective from elite military leadership, sharing why stress, uncertainty, and identity collapse are often misunderstood and why learning to operate inside discomfort is the real separator between those who rise and those who retreat. Jason Wilson adds a deeply personal layer, unpacking how emotional avoidance and unhealed pain can quietly sabotage even the strongest exterior. I also share some of the hardest truths I have learned in my own life. The greatest threat to your dreams is not missing a goal or falling short. It is getting comfortable. It is seeking approval from people who are not living the life you want. It is slowly negotiating with your standards until the version of you that once felt destined for more becomes a stranger. This episode will challenge you to take an honest look at where you may be drifting instead of driving. If you have ever felt like you are busy but not fulfilled, successful but not satisfied, or capable of more but unsure why you are not there yet, this conversation is for you. My hope is that it wakes you up, recenters your standards, and reminds you that the distance between where you are and where you want to be is often closed by awareness and intentional action, not motivation alone. Key Takeaways Why comfort and identity drift are more dangerous than outright failure How small daily habits quietly determine the size of your future What elite performers do differently when facing uncertainty and pressure How emotional avoidance can sabotage long term success and fulfillment Why raising your standards is often more important than setting bigger goals How to reconnect with the version of yourself you were born to become ⁠⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the real breakthrough you are searching for has nothing to do with hustling harder and everything to do with surrender, grace, and presence? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Sage Robbins, and I can honestly tell you this is one of the most powerful interviews I have ever done. I have wanted to have Sage on the show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. Her wisdom, her heart, and the calm strength she carries will meet you exactly where you are. This episode is not about motivation for the sake of motivation. It is about learning how to live with more peace, more compassion, and more truth in a noisy and divided world. We talk about Sage’s upbringing surrounded by recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the 12-step program, and how watching her father, grandparents, and siblings walk through addiction and healing shaped the way she sees humanity. She shares how surrender is not weakness, but freedom, and why so much of our suffering comes from believing life should be different than it is. This conversation opened my own heart as we connected over our fathers, recovery, forgiveness, and what it really means to take responsibility for your inner world. Sage also speaks with rare honesty about grace, humility, and the power of making amends. We discuss why saying “I’m sorry” is one of the most transformative practices in relationships, how ego closes the heart, and why ownership opens it again. She explains how self reflection, not blame, is the gateway to real peace. If you have strained family relationships, unresolved resentment, or feel disconnected from people you love, this part of the conversation will hit home. One of the most profound moments in the episode is when Sage guides us through her daily practice called “60 Seconds of Grace.” It is a simple but life changing reset that brings you back to the present moment. We also talk about how to recognize what is no longer serving you in your life, just like shedding old patterns, judgments, and beliefs that disconnect you from love. This is an episode you will not just listen to. You will feel it. And I promise you will come away changed. Key Takeaways Why surrendering control can create more peace, clarity, and freedom in your life How grace for yourself naturally becomes grace for others The hidden power of making amends and taking full responsibility Why self reflection matters more than being right A simple daily practice to reconnect with peace in just 60 seconds How to let go of what no longer serves you so life can truly begin If you have been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or divided from the people you love, this conversation with Sage Robbins may be exactly what your soul has been waiting for. Please share this episode with someone who needs more grace in their life right now.

What if the real secret to an unbreakable mindset isn’t motivation, confidence, or talent but preparation done so relentlessly that pressure has nowhere to land? In this mashup episode, I bring together some of the most mentally tough competitors and leaders I’ve ever sat down with to break down what it truly takes to build a bulletproof mindset before the moment arrives. This is not about hype or temporary motivation. This is about the unseen work that creates certainty when everything is on the line. When preparation becomes your identity, fear loses its grip and pressure turns into fuel. You’re going to hear from Andre Ward on what separates champions from contenders when the lights are brightest, and why mental toughness is earned long before the first bell rings. Sean Casey shares how consistency and routine create confidence in moments when self doubt tries to creep in. Dabo Swinney breaks down how preparation builds belief not just in yourself, but in your team, your system, and your mission. You’ll also hear from Michael Chandler, who explains how he trains his mind to stay calm in chaos and perform at his highest level under extreme pressure. Terrell Owens opens up about the discipline, focus, and self trust required to thrive when expectations are massive and criticism is loud. And Ryan Hawk brings it all together with insights on how elite performers prepare daily so confidence becomes automatic, not situational. I want you to understand something. Confidence is not something you wait for. It is something you manufacture through preparation. When you know you have done the work, your mind becomes steady, your decisions become clearer, and your performance becomes inevitable. This episode will challenge you to raise your standard for preparation so high that doubt simply cannot survive in your presence. This mashup is for anyone who wants to stop hoping they will show up strong and start knowing they will. If you want a mindset that does not crack under pressure, this is your blueprint. Key Takeaways: Why preparation is the true source of confidence and mental toughness How elite performers train their minds long before the moment matters The role of discipline and routine in eliminating fear and hesitation How belief is built through reps, not positive thinking Why pressure exposes preparation, it does not create performance How to build certainty that travels with you into every arena of life If you want to perform at your best when it counts most, this episode will show you how to prepare like it already matters. ⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What If the Worst Day of Your Life Is Actually Training You to Live Greatly? In this episode, I sit down with Jason Redman, and this is one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. Jason is a retired Navy SEAL who was shot eight times in combat, nearly lost his life, and then rebuilt everything from the ground up. But this episode is not about war stories. It is about how you respond when life ambushes you, how you refuse to quit when fear tries to take over, and how you decide who you are going to become after everything falls apart. Jason shares the truth that surprised me most. The day he was wounded was not the worst day of his life. His darkest moment came earlier, when arrogance, isolation, and shame nearly cost him his career and his life. He opens up about hitting rock bottom, sitting alone with a gun in his mouth, and the moment he realized that choosing to live meant choosing to take responsibility again. We talk about how victim mindset destroys leaders and why true strength always starts with humility. We also break down Jason’s Overcome Mindset, a framework built on awareness, preparation, and action. He explains why bad days are not the enemy, but the training ground for greatness. If you have been knocked down by loss, failure, or fear, this part of the conversation will give you practical tools to get back on your feet without pretending everything is fine. One of the most powerful moments of the episode is the story behind the sign Jason taped to his hospital door after being shot. It was his declaration that no one was allowed to feel sorry for him, including himself. That mindset became the foundation of his recovery and his mission to live greatly, even when life hurts. We also dive into marriage, faith, and what it really takes to build an unbreakable relationship when trauma enters the picture. If you are standing on the edge of something big but fear is holding you back, this conversation is your push. Jason reminds us that action is what unlocks greatness, and that regret is far heavier than failure. Key Takeaways: Why there are no bad days if you are still alive How to develop the Overcome Mindset when life blindsides you Why shrinking your time frame can save you in dark seasons How to stop living in fear after trauma and loss What it truly means to live greatly and honor the people you love This episode is a reminder that you are not broken, you are being built. Get ready to rethink everything you believe about pain, purpose, and resilience.

What if the most dangerous weapon sabotaging your happiness, confidence, and momentum isn’t out there but something you use against yourself every single day? In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together powerful conversations that expose one of the biggest silent killers of fulfillment and success: comparison. I sit down with Lewis Howes, Rachel Hollis, Dr. Robert Waldinger, and Dean Graziosi to unpack how comparison quietly drains our joy, distorts our self worth, and keeps us stuck chasing someone else’s version of success instead of our own. I break down why comparison is the fastest pathway to unhappiness and how it sneaks into every area of our lives, from our bodies and finances to our relationships and sense of purpose. You will hear me explain why it is never your current situation that creates misery, but the story you tell yourself when you compare it to a different time or a different person. This episode is about learning when comparison must be put down and when it can be used strategically as leverage to create real change. Lewis Howes opens up about the internal pressure to measure up and how comparison nearly stole his peace during seasons of growth. Rachel Hollis shares why comparison is the death of joy, especially in a world fueled by social media highlight reels, and how shifting your focus inward restores confidence and clarity. Dr. Robert Waldinger brings the science, revealing what decades of research say about happiness, fulfillment, and why chasing external validation never delivers lasting satisfaction. And Dean Graziosi gets real about how comparison can either paralyze you or fuel your next level, depending on how you use it. This mashup will challenge you to separate happiness from achievement, and to understand the difference between your higher self and lower self. I walk you through how to stop competing in areas where comparison only creates pain, while learning to harness it intentionally when it is time to grow, improve, and evolve. If you have ever felt behind, unfulfilled, or quietly frustrated despite doing “everything right,” this conversation will hit home. By the end of this episode, I want you to feel lighter, clearer, and more in control of your internal world. You were never meant to win someone else’s race. You were meant to master your own lane, live with intention, and build a life rooted in peace, progress, and purpose. Key Takeaways Why comparison is the root cause of unhappiness in nearly every area of life The difference between using comparison for misery versus using it for motivation How social media amplifies comparison and what to do to protect your peace What decades of happiness research reveal about fulfillment and self acceptance How to shift from external validation to internal confidence When comparison can be used as leverage to create meaningful change The mindset shift that allows you to pursue success without sacrificing joy This episode will help you put the weapon down when it is hurting you, and pick it up only when it can truly serve you. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What If the Pain You Survived Is the Exact Reason You’re Meant to Win? In this conversation, I sit down with Nattie Neidhart, and let me tell you right now, this is not a wrestling interview. This is a life interview. Nattie is one of the most accomplished and respected performers in WWE history, but what makes her extraordinary has nothing to do with championships or records. It’s the resilience, compassion, and self belief she forged through family dysfunction, loss, and moments when it would have been easier to stay small. Her story will hit anyone who’s ever felt invisible, underestimated, or unsure of their own voice. We talk deeply about what it was like growing up in one of the most legendary families in professional wrestling while trying to find her own identity as a woman in a male dominated industry. Nattie opens up about living through financial collapse, instability at home, and caring for a father who was quietly struggling with brain injury and addiction. She shares how those early years shaped her work ethic, her empathy, and her refusal to wait for permission to become who she knew she could be. One of the most powerful themes in this conversation is reframing your past. Nattie explains how it’s not the events of your life that define you, but the meaning you attach to them. She walks through how she stopped waiting for the perfect opportunity and instead built her own seat at the table. Whether that meant creating new characters, writing her book The Last Hart Beating, or stepping into opportunities when the timing was far from perfect, she chose progress over permission. We also talk about self worth, comparison, and why chasing success without healing will never be enough. Nattie shares the moment she finally allowed herself to ask, “Why not me?” and how that question changed everything. This conversation is for anyone who’s been doing the work quietly, supporting others, and wondering if their moment will ever come. If you’ve ever felt like your background disqualified you, like your family history defined your ceiling, or like you were meant to stay small to survive, this episode will remind you of the truth. You are not broken. You are being built. Key Takeaways: Why it’s not your past but the story you tell about it that shapes your future How to build confidence when you grew up without stability Why waiting for permission keeps most people stuck How to reframe trauma into strength, purpose, and compassion What it really means to build your own seat at the table This is one of those conversations that heals something you didn’t realize you were still carrying. Share it with someone who needs permission to stop playing small.

What if the very thing you’re avoiding is the key to deeper love, stronger relationships, and real fulfillment? In this powerful mashup episode, I bring together some of the most honest and transformative conversations I’ve ever had about love, connection, and vulnerability. Too many people want intimacy without exposure, connection without risk, and love without discomfort. And the truth is, that trade never works. In these conversations, we get real about why most people struggle in relationships and how learning to be vulnerable is not a weakness, but the ultimate strength. You’ll hear from Jay Shetty on why self love and emotional awareness are the foundation of every healthy relationship, and how avoiding hard conversations quietly erodes connection. Humble The Poet shares deeply personal insights on emotional walls, fear of being hurt again, and why vulnerability is the bridge that allows love to flow both ways. His perspective will challenge how you think about pain, empathy, and what it really means to open your heart. I also sit down with LeAnn Rimes, who opens up about self acceptance, emotional healing, and the courage it takes to truly be seen, especially after public pain. And Matthew Hussey breaks down the patterns that sabotage modern relationships, from fear of rejection to the need for control, and how emotional honesty changes everything. This episode is not just about romantic love. It’s about the relationship you have with yourself, the walls you’ve built to protect your heart, and the cost of keeping them up. If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m never doing that again,” after being hurt, this conversation will speak directly to you. Love does not require perfection. It requires courage. And vulnerability is the price of admission. Key Takeaways Why vulnerability is the foundation of real connection, not a liability How emotional walls meant to protect you often become prisons The difference between self love and self avoidance Why sitting with pain is sometimes the fastest path to healing How fear of being hurt again quietly sabotages relationships The skills required to build intimacy in a distracted, guarded world If you want deeper relationships, more meaningful love, and a stronger connection to who you really are, this episode will challenge you, stretch you, and move you. The life you want is on the other side of the conversations you’ve been avoiding. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the most important lesson of your year isn’t what you accomplished, but who you became along the way? In this special year end "Best of 2025" mashup, I’m bringing together some of the most powerful conversations from the past year to help you reflect, reset, and step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and conviction. These moments are not just highlights. They are reminders of what actually moves the needle when it comes to faith, discipline, purpose, and becoming the best version of yourself. You’ll hear from the late Judge Frank Caprio, whose wisdom and compassion remind us that character always matters more than circumstance, and from Marcus Stanley, who breaks down what it really takes to build wealth without losing your values or your soul. These conversations hit at the heart of leadership, responsibility, and what it means to win the right way. I also bring you insights from Kim Perell and Brendon Burchard, two people who understand momentum at the highest level. Kim shares the mindset shifts required to scale ideas into impact, while Brendon delivers timeless truths about consistency, energy, and showing up every day when motivation fades. This is about discipline over hype and alignment over shortcuts. You’ll also hear powerful reflections from Sahil Bloom and Humble The Poet, who challenge the way we think about time, success, and inner peace. These conversations slow you down just enough to ask better questions about your life, your priorities, and who you are becoming when no one is watching. That awareness is often the missing piece between wanting more and actually living more. As we close out the year, I want this episode to serve as both a mirror and a compass. A mirror to reflect on what 2025 taught you, and a compass to help you move forward with intention. If you listen closely, you’ll hear one common thread throughout every conversation. The people who win long term are the ones who decide who they are going to be before life decides for them. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Why character and compassion are non negotiables for lasting success How to build wealth and impact without compromising your values The disciplines that separate high performers from everyone else Why clarity about time and priorities changes everything How self awareness becomes the foundation for peace and fulfillment What it really means to finish a year stronger than you started it If you’re ready to close this year with gratitude and step into the next one with purpose, this episode is for you. ⁠⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the reason you are not living your dream has nothing to do with your ability and everything to do with a few invisible forces quietly working against you? In this mashup episode, I go deep on what I believe are the five biggest dream killers that stop people right before they break through. This is not a surface level conversation about motivation or habits. This is about the internal battles that quietly steal your future if you do not recognize them early. I sit down with Lewis Howes to unpack the real reasons talented, driven people stall out, lose momentum, or walk away from the life they were meant to live. We talk about discouragement and why it often shows up the moment you are closest to something meaningful. I explain how discouragement removes courage from your decision making and how awareness alone can strip it of its power. Lewis shares his own experiences with setbacks, self doubt, and learning to stay in belief even when results are not immediate. This is the kind of conversation that reminds you that feeling challenged does not mean you are off track. It often means you are exactly where you need to be. We also dive into doubt and delusion, two dream killers that work quietly but relentlessly. We break down how doubt is fueled by lies about your worth and ability, and how delusion distorts reality by making problems feel bigger or success feel farther away than it actually is. I share why most breakthroughs are closer than people think and how one decision, one conversation, or one moment of courage can change everything. Finally, we tackle what I believe is the most dangerous dream killer of all: delay. I explain why waiting for perfect conditions is one of the fastest ways to guarantee regret. Lewis and I talk about the cost of hesitation and why successful people move with urgency, even when they do not have every answer. If you have been telling yourself you will start someday, this episode is your wake up call. Dreams have an expiration date, and the time to act is now.

What if the year ahead isn’t something you survive but something you intentionally design? As we close out this MAXOUT Your Mind Masterclass series, I want to talk to you about something that might be the most important skill you can develop going into 2026: designing your life on purpose. Too many people drift into a new year hoping things change instead of deciding what they will change. In this final masterclass, I walk you through how to step back, take inventory of your life, and consciously choose what stays, what goes, and what gets rebuilt. I break down the difference between inventing and reinventing your life and why both matter. Your body is constantly renewing itself, shedding old cells and rebuilding new ones. Your mind and spirit deserve the same intentional renewal. I challenge you to stop living on autopilot and start asking better questions. What do you want to feel when you wake up? What kind of progress excites you? What are you actually looking forward to? Because progress creates power, and having something meaningful to move toward is one of the greatest sources of happiness we have. We also talk about why living fully present does not mean abandoning the future. Human beings need something to look forward to. I explain why growth, momentum, and forward vision fuel fulfillment and how chasing progress releases more joy than the moment of achievement itself. If you feel stuck, bored, or disconnected, it might not be because something is wrong with you. It might be because you stopped designing your life and started repeating it. This episode goes deeper into what real happiness and fulfillment actually are. Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is lasting. I introduce the concept of blissful dissatisfaction, which allows you to love your life today while still being hungry to grow. We talk about self worth, identity, vulnerability, and why you must be willing to fully engage with your dreams even when there is risk. Playing small protects nothing and costs everything. As you head into 2026, this is your invitation to become the co author of your life again. You are not behind. You are not broken. You are capable of more than you think. This masterclass will help you raise your standards, renew your mindset, and step into the next chapter with clarity, courage, and conviction. The year ahead does not need to be a repeat of the last one. You get to design it. Key Takeaways Why designing your life is a responsibility, not a luxury The difference between happiness and fulfillment and how to build both How progress and growth create lasting motivation and joy What blissful dissatisfaction really means and why it prevents burnout How self worth, vulnerability, and identity shape your results Practical questions to help you intentionally design your best year yet This is the foundation for 2026.

If you want uncommon results, you have to live by uncommon standards, especially on the days you do not feel like showing up. In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together some of the most disciplined competitors and leaders I’ve ever sat down with to break down what consistency and commitment really look like when the lights are off and no one is clapping. You’re going to hear from people who have won at the highest levels of sports, business, leadership, and life, and every one of them shares the same truth. Success is not built in moments. It is built in habits. Troy Aikman takes us inside what it really means to be trusted as a leader when everything is on the line. He shares why the greats are never outworked, how daily preparation creates belief inside a locker room, and why commitment is proven long before game day. Jim Rome brings his trademark intensity and clarity, challenging the excuses we make and exposing why most people talk about wanting it but never back it up with action. His message is simple and uncomfortable. Consistency is not sexy, but it is undefeated. Gerard Adams opens up about discipline in entrepreneurship and why momentum is built by honoring small promises to yourself every single day. Dabo Swinney shares how faith, standards, and consistency shape culture, not just wins, and why who you become matters more than what you achieve. And Mark “The Undertaker” Calaway gives one of the most powerful reminders you will ever hear about longevity, professionalism, and showing up prepared for decades, not seasons. This episode is about doing the work when motivation fades. It is about staying committed when results are slow. And it is about building a life you can count on because you have become someone who can be counted on. If you feel stuck, inconsistent, or frustrated with your progress, this conversation will reset your standards and remind you what winning actually requires. You do not need more inspiration. You need more follow through. This episode will challenge you to raise your standards, lock in your habits, and finally live with the level of commitment your goals demand. Key Takeaways: Why consistency beats talent every single time How elite leaders earn trust through daily preparation The difference between being interested and being committed Why small habits done daily create massive long term momentum How discipline creates confidence even before results show up What it really takes to sustain excellence over decades, not months ⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
