Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

If you practice The Miracle Morning (and specifically the S.A.V.E.R.S.), I think you're going to love today's *special* episode of the Achieve Your Goals podcast! Today, we're doing something a little different. Instead of our usual podcast format—where our guests talk about how they achieved their goals and how to get more done—I'm giving the floor over to my good friend and Chief Miracle Worker, Chip Franks, for a training and tutorial to help you get the most out of your Miracle Morning "Scribing" (aka "Journaling") practice. Among many things, Chip has one of the most effective Scribing practice I've ever seen. Though he goes through almost 250 pages in his journal every month, he rarely spends more than about 15 minutes a day scribing. He believes that it is the most important personal-development practice that exists and a powerful way to turn ideas into action. Chip also journals to deal with anxiety and overwhelm, have a conversation with himself, and become an objective third-party with himself when he needs it the most. Today, Chip joins the podcast to share 10 techniques to optimize your Scribing practice. I'd love to see you commit to giving the ones that make sense for you a try - and see how scribing can change your life for the better.

I've got some sad news, which you may have already heard. One of the most inspirational people I've ever met, Sean Stephenson – known around the world as the "3 Foot Giant" – passed away last week, after a wheelchair accident. Sean dedicated his life to helping people, and I was blessed to know him as a friend and mentor. Today it is my privilege to share some of his inspiration with you by giving you an opportunity to listen to the last interview that he and I did together. Because of a rare bone disorder, Sean was predicted not to survive at birth. In fact, he'd suffered over 200 fractures by the time he turned 18. However, Sean has survived, thrived, and lived a life that has inspired millions around the world. He's appeared on Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has online videos with 10+ million views, been the subject of a TV series for A&E called 3 Foot Giant, and published a book titled Get Off Your But: How to End Self-Sabotage.

So, what is the purpose of life? Today, I want to help you answer that question by asking you to consider a couple of others: What if the purpose of life isn't about achieving or attaining anything?

I want to help you to discover the true purpose of your life and realize that you may already have what you've been searching for, for your entire life.

According to legend, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés issued a rather interesting order to his men as they began their conquest of the Aztec empire in 1519. The order was simple: Burn the boats. He wanted his men to realize that they had no opportunity to retreat, so they had to give this fight everything they had. Failure was no longer an option and winning this battle just became that much more important. There is much debate about the legitimacy of this story, both in reference to the true intentions of Cortés and whether the actual burning took place at all. However, regardless of the accuracy in this particular case, this phrase "Burn your boats" has become popular advice in the context of business and success. In today's episode, my friend and best-selling author, Tim Grahl, and I discuss why burning your boats may be the wrong strategy and one you want to avoid, and then we share what we believe will be a much better approach for your to take your success to the next level and beyond.

Do you know what's standing in the way of creating and experiencing everything you want for your life? The answer might surprise you. Our cavemen and cavewomen ancestors were biologically programmed to do two things: survive and rest. Our agenda back then was simple: hunt and gather food so that we could sustain life, find shelter, and rest until we needed more food to eat or a new shelter to rest under. We were NOT, however, designed to achieve, to get ahead, or to be successful. So, to this day human beings unconsciously abide by our inborn human nature, and it prevents us from creating and experiencing what we deeply want to create and experience in our lives. On today's podcast, I share raw, unfiltered thoughts and powerful, life-changing information that can help you transcend your innate human nature (that is holding you back). You're also going to learn about how society conditions us to want things that don't make us happy, why you're always going to be drawn toward taking the path of least resistance, and how to overcome the laws of the universe to do what we need in order to create everything you want and deserve.

Long before Mark Crandall became a member of the Quantum Leap Mastermind program that I recently told you about, he was a lost young man with countless traumatic experiences. He spent time in jail, was a drug addict, and carried an underlying self-hatred. He's since transcended his adversity and become keynote speaker, licensed master social worker, chemical dependency counselor, clinical interventionist, the author of Embrace Your Past, Win Your Future, host of two podcasts, and a highly sought after clinical interventionist. At our last Quantum Leap Mastermind (QLM) retreat, I saw Mark do powerful, transformative work in real time, and it's truly an honor to introduce you to him. Today, he joins the podcast to share how he uses his life to hold a mirror up to those who need it the most. He also shares the belief system he uses to find opportunities to do more, and what you can do to leverage your trauma to live a life in service.

Adversity an inevitable part of life, and the reality is that all of us have more adversity that we will experience in our future. So it's vitally important that we learn how to embrace our adversity and turn it into an advantage. Personally, I view adversity as a GIFT and often our greatest opportunity for GROWTH, and I'm living proof. My two greatest adversities (being hit head on by a drunk driver, breaking 11 bones, and dying for 6 minutes - at age 20… and then being diagnosed with cancer and given a 30% chance of surviving - at age 37) were two of the greatest gifts I've ever received, because both enabled me to learn, grow, and become the person I am today. That's why I'm excited to introduce you to my podcast guest today, Marcus Aurelius Anderson (link to listen to the podcast is below). He is the author of The Gift of Adversity, TedX speaker, US Army veteran, lifelong martial artist, and high-performance mindset coach for leaders, companies, CEOs, and entrepreneurs. Today, Marcus joins the podcast and we talk about how you can find the gifts in your adversity—no matter what happens to you—and turn your adversity into an advantage. Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury while preparing to deploy, died twice on the operating table, and was told he would never walk again. With no other options, Marcus began to see the lessons learned from his injury - and when he saw adversity as a gift, something miraculous began to happen.

On a scale of 1-10, how grateful would you say that you are every day, in each moment, and how present are you for all that you have to be grateful for? Personally, I believe that GRATITUDE is the key to true and lasting happiness, and I would humbly rate myself at a "9" on the gratitude scale. But that wasn't always the case for me. In fact, quite the opposite. Just ask my mom. She'll tell you that, growing up, gratitude was definitely NOT one of my strengths. It wasn't until I learned the power that gratitude has in determining the quality of our lives that I made it a priority and the quality of my life my life has been radically transformed as a result. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was immediately grateful (literally). For what you might be wondering? For the extraordinary adversity that I believed would provide me the opportunity to learn, grow, and become a better version of myself. On today's podcast episode, you'll meet one of the most genuinely grateful people I have ever met – someone whom I deeply admire – Ryland Engelhart. Ryland is the Mission Fulfillment Officer and co-owner of my absolutely favorite restaurant in the world – one that is changing the world – Café Gratitude! Today, he joins the podcast to share how to amplify gratitude and happiness in your life every single day, and how humanity can live regeneratively in relation to nature.

Join me today for a highly entertaining, kinda random, and yet highly valuable conversation with my good friend – the infamous JP Sears. JP is a YouTuber, conscious comedian, emotional healing coach, world traveler, author, and curious student of life. With over 300 million YouTube views across his videos, JP empowers people to live more meaningful lives, using a blend of spirituality and messages to expand consciousness through humor.

I've spoken with many podcasters, influencers, and authors I know about finding a balance and working through this struggle, and even if you're not an author, you've likely found yourself in a situation where you've changed your tone of voice in front of certain clients, friends, and even family members. Today, JP joins the podcast for a discussion about how he delivers serious and empowering messages through the lens of comedy, finding authenticity in being respectable, why the goals you don't meet still matter, and how personal power factors into everything we do.

(If you're human, this applies to you.) :^D I guess you could say this is kind of like me giving you a preview of the audiobook (the first of my books that I actually read the audiobook myself). However, unlike the audiobook (which I read word-for-word), in today's podcast I go WAY off script quite a few times. (That includes kissing my wife in the middle of the episode!) We all face this internal conflict - and we all have to overcome it. This is an unfiltered, unedited look at how we can conquer our limitations and stop living on autopilot, and even if you've already started reading (or listening) to the book, you'll likely discover something new in this episode.

Last week's podcast episode was on How to Become a Millionaire Using the Miracle Equation which is a (30-minute) interview that I recorded on the Eventual Millionaire podcast with Jaime Masters. I shared that with you because I felt it was the most concise explanation/training of The Miracle Equation that I had ever given. This week, we're taking a similar (but more in-depth) path. Today's episode is also a recent interview that someone else did with me, only this time instead of being "concise" it's actually the most "in depth" explanation/training I've ever given on the Miracle Equation, and I did so in this (60-minute) conversation with Mike Dillard on the Mike Dillard Podcast. In this episode, we dive deep and offer new insights into how the Miracle Equation came into existence six years before I created the Miracle Morning, why miracles aren't about praying, waiting, or hoping, the REAL purpose of goals and how to commit to achieving goals (regardless of your outcomes), and the incredible life changes that happen when you make your mission inevitable.

Last week I had the opportunity to be interviewed on the Eventual Millionaire podcast and it was like some kind of out-of-body experience. I don't know that I've ever felt so inspired after an interview! As soon as we finished recording, I told Jaime that I felt it was one of the most beneficial interviews I've ever done (in terms of the benefits for the listener, aka "YOU!") and asked her if she'd be okay with me sharing it with you, and she said "Of course!" :^) So, I'm VERY excited for you to listen to this episode! Jaime and I dig deeper into the Miracle Equation, talk about how to set your mission, and share more stories from my own life about the transformative results - financial and otherwise - that it helped me achieve.

What if I told you that every destructive emotion you've ever felt, are feeling now, and will ever feel in the future is self-created by you and is completely optional? What if I then taught you a way to immediately take complete control of your emotional well-being so that you never have to feel painful emotions again? That's what today's episode is all about. If you can be in control of your emotional state from within, put yourself in a peak emotional state, and manage through the setbacks you face, you don't just feel great about life - you become emotionally invincible. Emotional invincibility is hugely powerful. It makes it that much easier to apply the Miracle Equation, and to truly enjoy every moment in your life. In today's podcast - the fourth episode in my series about my upcoming book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible, to Probable, to Inevitable - I dive deep into why it's so hard to be at peace with all things. We'll explore why you are the cause of your negative emotions and how to transcend them, and I'll share with you my three techniques to implement emotional invincibility in your world.

Dr. Sean Stephenson is what I call a Miracle Maven – someone who lives by the Miracle Equation and has achieved remarkable results, or what I call "tangible, measurable miracles." Because of a rare bone disorder, Sean was predicted not to survive at birth. In fact, he'd suffered over 200 fractures by the time he turned 18. However, Sean has survived, thrived, and lived a life that has inspired millions around the world. He's appeared on Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has online videos with 10+ million views, been the subject of a TV series for A&E called 3 Foot Giant, and published a book titled Get Off Your Butt. Sean's success in life against all odds is a result of his unwavering faith and extraordinary effort. Today, he joins the third episode of the podcast in my series about the two decisions that lay the foundation for my new book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible, to Probable, to Inevitable, to share how he beat his toughest challenges and created a life full of miracles.

"Miracle" is a loaded word. It has many meanings for many different people, ranging from a spiritual/religious connotation and is often attributed to a random or passive act. But what exactly is a miracle? Why should you care? And most importantly - how can you create tangible, measurable miracles in your own life? In today's episode, based on my new book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible, to Probable, to Inevitable, I will take the mystery out of miracles and show you how a combination of Unwavering Faith and Extraordinary Effort will give you the power to overcome even your most difficult challenges and create a Level 10 in any area of your life. I want ALL of us to move from being in awe of the world's most successful people – to joining them. I want you to help ALL of us stop living from a place of stress and fear, and to override our inborn human nature, stop settling for less than we want, and better ourselves and our lives – starting now. In today's podcast, I dig deeper into the mindset behind the Miracle Equation - and share more stories of making extraordinary effort feel ordinary.

What if I were to tell you that there are only two (2) decisions standing between you and everything you want for your life? Long before The Miracle Morning was the "Miracle Equation" – the formula I discovered at age 20, which every successful person has used to defy the odds and create extraordinary, meaningful results – or what I call "tangible, measurable miracles." In today's podcast episode (the first in a new Miracle Equation series), I share how the Miracle Equation came to be and how you can begin to apply it in your life. AND… The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible, to Probable, to Inevitable is my first traditionally published book that is now available for pre-order! I can't wait to share insights, strategies, and knowledge from the book to help you overcome any self-limiting mindsets and behaviors that are holding you back from what you want in life.

Today, mindfulness expert Julianna Raye and I dive deep into how I got into the practice of meditation, its initial and long-term benefits in my personal and professional life, and how it can enable all of us to both improve our individual lives and be of greater service in the world. When the US economy crashed in 2007, I crashed with it. I lost half of my clients, couldn't pay my mortgage, and didn't know how to turn things around. It was at that point in my life that I started exploring the benefits of meditation and mindfulness. As I began a daily practice, it gave me the power to be present, think more clearly, and optimize my cognitive abilities. The effects were so profound and so transformative that "Silence" became an integral part of my Miracle Morning.

Do you aspire to have both the "time" freedom and "financial" freedom that are available through entrepreneurship? Today's guest, CEO, entrepreneur and bestselling author, Chris Ducker, has built multiple successful companies and brands all over the world. After suffering a horrific burnout at the end of 2009, he set a goal to become a virtual CEO - and achieved it by November of 2010. Now, nine years later, Chris has freedom in his business. He works an average of six hours a day, four days a week, helping others build virtual businesses like his. At the core of his success is this fact: Chris has created his own personal brand, which he has applied to everything else he has ever aspired to create. As the founder of Youpreneur and the author of The Rise of the Youpreneur, he helps people shift their mindsets, cultivate great reputations, and truly serve the people who need them. Today, you're going to hear Chris's speech that he gave at this past December's Best Year Ever Blueprint LIVE Experience.

Do you ever find that you are held back by your fears or self-limiting beliefs? If so, then today's episode is for you. My conversation today is with Kari Romeo, whom I've known and admired for years, ever since we met at the Best Year Ever Blueprint. Kari is a retired Air Force officer, life coach, and author of the new book, Becoming Beautiful: A Personal Journey Towards Happiness. Across all these roles, she has been highly successful, but today you'll hear how she often struggled with questions of self-esteem, self-worth, and whether she was doing enough—as well as with the fact that she felt like she needed to wear a masculine mask in order to succeed in her professional roles. Today, Kari joins the podcast to talk about her journey, how to work through insecurity and reframe the questions we ask ourselves in order to overcome our fears and limiting beliefs, the way her book transformed over the course of writing it, and how you can conquer impostor syndrome and answer your calling.

10 years ago, Brandy and Lance Salazar found themselves on the verge of divorce. However, instead of calling it quits, they gave things one last try and it made all the difference. They learned how to design and create a legendary marriage and today, they're one of the happiest, most fulfilled, and emotionally intelligent couples that my wife and I know. Now they're on a mission to help couples reconnect and stay deeply in love while raising children, which they do through Legendary Couples With Kids. Not only that, but they also co-authored the newest book in The Miracle Morning series, The Miracle Morning for Couples: Create Legendary Connection, One Morning at a Time, which is officially out today! In it, they help answer a simple question for Miracle Morning practitioners: "How do I get my spouse to do this?" Today, Lance and Brandy join the podcast to talk about why maintaining your marriage is such a unique challenge while working and raising kids.

You'll hear me open up today's podcast by saying that "this is the most excited I've been to interview someone in a long time!" I mean that very sincerely, and that is because today's conversation covers a topic that is truly unknown and revolutionary for most people (and something I only recently discovered in my own life). Over the last 21 years, Todd Herman has helped elite athletes, performers, and leaders tap into their "alter egos" and achieve the seemingly impossible. He speaks to over 200,000 people a year in 73 countries, has been featured in The New York Times, CBS Radio, The Huffington Post, Business Insider, and has been called a "training superstar" by The Boston Herald. However, to get there, Todd had to make his own discovery. He knew that inside himself was a confident, self-assured, intelligent person who could help others get better results in their lives and businesses - and found a specific trick (hint: accessing his "alter ego") that helped him activate the traits he needed to achieve his goals. He tells this story in his new book, The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life, and I'm so excited to have him on the podcast today to talk about the tools highly effective people use to defeat fear, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt.

With Valentine's Day around the corner I wanted to talk about love, but not about romantic love. I want to talk about unconditional love—how it affects our happiness, quality of life, and relationships—and how we can amplify it to improve all three. So many people are too hard on themselves, unhappy, quick to condemn and resent others, and upset about their lives - and I want to help change that. In today's episode, I show you how to wake up feeling good, to love yourself and your life, to stop living with judgement and resentments, and to embrace the freedom and power of unconditional love in three big ways.

What happens when you achieve everything you thought would make life fulfilling, but it doesn't? Today Emily D. Baker and I are going to explore how three words can change your life and set you free. After serving as a deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles for 10 years, she struck out on her own to empower women entrepreneurs. As a consultant, she ensures her clients understand the advice she gives them - instead of leaving them more confused than when she started - and helps them create common sense documents that protect their businesses and make total sense to everyone involved. She's blunt, no nonsense, and loving - and today, she's going to share the three words that will change your life, no matter what stage of life you're in.

Over the last few months, I've been thinking a lot about creating my Miracle Evening routine and experimenting with a few different methods. While the Miracle Morning has been all about putting yourself in peak mental, emotional, and spiritual state – first thing in the morning, I've found that the evening has been an amazing time to look at my life from a perspective of celebration and reflection. Doing this has had profound impacts on my life, helped me work through several major challenges I've faced recently, and led to more breakthroughs than I can count. In today's episode, I take you through my exact process for manufacturing breakthroughs - where I do it, the tools I use, and how it helps me retrain my brain and work through specific issues, such as a newfound anxiety that has greatly affected me over the last few months.

This is the definitive episode where we break down, step by step, how to achieve your goals. I was going to do it solo and give my best advice on goal setting, but I realized that there are people who are better at this than I am. Geoff Woods is my guest today. He is the vice president of The ONE Thing, where he works alongside billionaire Gary Keller and his NY Times bestselling co-author, Jay Papasan, teaching people how to live a life of focus so they can have more and do less. Geoff and I first met when I appeared as a guest on his podcast, and I'm thrilled to be able to finally host him in today's episode. He offers brilliant strategies and insights for people of all kinds - and if you're looking to transform your routine, ask bigger questions, and seek bigger answers, this is a must-listen.

Would you benefit from figuring out how to organize your thoughts while increasing your productivity? Our guest today, Ryder Carroll, famously created a worldwide movement and method known as "Bullet Journaling" (or what I call "Scribing 2.0") that accomplishes both of those, simultaneously. After struggling for years with organizing systems and finding that none worked the way his mind did (after being diagnosed with ADHD), he created Bullet Journaling — a new method to become consistently focused and effective. He shared his invention with friends who suffered from similar challenges, and it went viral. His brand new, New York Times bestselling book is The Bullet Journal Method: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future, and in it, he explores what it means to live an intentional life, one that's both productive and meaningful. Ryder has been featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Fast Company, Bloomberg, LifeHacker, and Mashable. He's also worked with companies including Adidas, American Express, Cisco, Macy's, IBM, and HP.

Sean Stephenson was born with a rare bone disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta. In fact, his parents were told that he likely had mere months to live. 30 years later, Sean is known worldwide as the "3 Foot Giant," and with good reason. He's worked at the White House, can count Richard Branson, Bill Clinton, and His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama among his admirers, has been interviewed by Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel, and has 10+ million views on his videos. He also appears in the upcoming Miracle Morning movie. Sean is a powerful speaker and his mission is to rid the world of insecurity. He appeared at our Best Year Ever [Blueprint] LIVE experience in San Diego last weekend, and his talk was the one I wanted my wife and children to see more than any other.

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Radha Agrawal, who is the CEO, founder and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker and has built a global community made up of nearly 500,000 like-minded people. In case you're not familiar with Daybreaker – it is the early morning dance and wellness movement currently serving almost half a million people by holding events in 25 cities and over a dozen college campuses around the world. Her new book, Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life, answers two big questions: "How the heck do I find my people?" and "How do I create large and meaningful communities in the real world?" Radha spent 18 months synthesizing her key methods for community building, and now she's peeling back the curtain on what she and her team did to build Daybreaker to give you a blueprint for how to create communities of your own. Today, Radha joins the podcast to talk about the importance of building communities, how to find your tribe when you realize you don't belong, how she created and built momentum for Daybreaker, and how to build your personal or professional community - no matter what your goals are.

We just had Thanksgiving in the United States – a day on which many of us are reminded to give thanks and express gratitude. BUT… Personally, I believe every day should essentially be like Thanksgiving, and maybe even much more than that. The benefits of gratitude are countless, as studies have shown that people who regularly and actively practice gratitude are happier, have better relationships, and even a stronger immune system. That's why today, I want to explore gratitude as a foundational lens through which we experience our lives, relationships, and even adversity. I'll share with you my daily gratitude practice, what it's taught me, and the techniques and strategies I use to deepen and amplify the gratitude in my life.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your life; it means more to me than you might realize. As many of us will be celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, know that I am deeply thankful for you and for our community, and I appreciate that you allow me to be a (small) part of your life. I truly don't take that lightly, as you'll hear in the beginning of today's podcast episode. :^) Speaking of today's episode, although the Miracle Morning has become a huge part of my life, it's just been recently that I've started thinking about creating an evening routine to help me become a better, happier, and more effective person. A practice that I started several weeks ago led me to create a (somewhat rough and unrefined) Miracle "Evening" routine – and it has already led me to some powerful insights and personal transformation. On today's podcast, I take you through the three steps of this evening routine that's almost as new for me as it will be for you – and I highly encourage you to give it a try!

Many of us may not realize it (I'm definitely guilty of this), but we sometimes fall into the trap of being "personal development junkies" - often chasing the high from those incredible "aha!" moments that books give us, but we don't always turn those lessons into real personal development or meaningful life changes. In today's solo episode, I dig into why this is, talk about how to integrate "book summaries" into your reading plan, as well as my personal hacks that help me read more books (hint: there's an app for that) — and how to get more out of them faster than ever before.

Imagine if you possessed 4 powerful questions that would automatically (and almost instantly) put you in a positive state of mind, improve your relationships with every person in your life, and deepen your sense of purpose. For those of you joining us in San Diego next month for the Best Year Ever Blueprint LIVE experience (December 7-9th), this conversation is the PERFECT preview of the event and these are the type of transformative questions that you'll be engaging with next month. Today's podcast episode is an encore presentation of the #1 most popular episode we've ever done, which is an unscripted conversation between me and Jon Berghoff that originally aired live (with 4,000+ people watching), last year, and let's just say it got VERY personal.

Today's episode is the most important I've recorded for you in a long time and ends with me giving you a simple 3-step solution to quickly (and literally) transform any area of your life, as I recently did after having a painful realization... I've been a mediocre dad. That hurts to admit—even to myself. But the other night, I had a profound personal breakthrough when I suddenly realized that I've fallen back into some old patterns and have been settling for mediocrity in the area of my life that matters more to me than anything… my children. Part of the breakthrough was realizing that I've been oblivious, delusional and in denial about this. AND… I realized that being oblivious, delusional and in denial about our blind spots is something we ALL suffer from in one way or another. Thus, it is crucial that we all give ourselves the reality check that I'm sharing with you in today's episode. If you think you're settling for mediocrity in any way, it's time for you to get out of your comfort zone, engage in a reality check, and schedule time for reflection in whatever areas you need to address.

Before today's guest embarked on his mission to save millions of lives, he had to save his own. Scott Harrison was one of New York City's premier nightclub promoters, doing drugs, drinking heavily, deeply unfulfilled and on the verge of self-destructing. In today's podcast episode, he tells me his riveting story of how he came to declare spiritual, moral, and emotional bankruptcy – and uses it as a catalyst to change the world… Now, Scott has made lists such as Fortune's 40 Under 40, Forbes' Impact 30, and was #10 on Fast Company's 100 most creative people in business, as well as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. He is the CEO and founder of Charity Water, an organization dedicated to helping people in developing nations get access to clean and safe drinking water. Charity Water has provided clean drinking water to over 8.5 million people in 26 countries.

Wow. I was nearly speechless during and after my conversation with today's guest, Akshay Nanavati, who is as fascinating as he is brilliant. After serving during the Iraq War, he returned home and found himself suffering from addiction, post-traumatic stress, survivor's guilt, depression, and alcoholism. On the brink of suicide, Akshay discovered a unique way to find gifts in what most of us view as "negative" emotions—such as fear, stress, and anxiety—so that they would no longer hold him back. In fact, these emotions became fuel to help him achieve his greatest goals, including running across 8 countries (on his way to running across EVERY country in the world). His new book, Fearvana, is his actionable guide to transforming fear and struggle into boundless bliss. Today, he joins the podcast to share his unbelievable story and teach us exactly how he turns what should be debilitating adversities into major successes.
