Jesse Levine was my first mentor, and it's safe to say that his impact on my life has been as crucial to my success as that of any other person. In fact, when people ask me who I attribute my mindset or my success to, I always say, "It's half mom and dad, and half Jesse." We met when I was 19, and Jesse was 23. He was my manager at Cutco—the #1 manager in the 50-year history of the company—and he didn't just help me break national sales records, he helped me to fulfill my potential in ways I never even knew existed. With a combination of vision, talent, and high standards, Jesse brings out the best in people consistently. His enthusiasm is contagious, and as a serial entrepreneur, he brings it to every single project he takes on. Today, Jesse joins the podcast to share a few fun stories from our time at Cutco, including how he reached goals seen as impossible by managers 10+ years older than he was when he reached them, how to get highly talented people to buy into your vision, and how he makes things happen that have never been done before.

Gone are the days when education was something that only happened at the start of your career. The name of today's game, both personally and professionally, is to be constantly learning: just enough, just in time, and never stopping. In today's podcast, I have an intriguing conversation with Danny Iny – the CEO of Mirasee – who is on a mission to provide business education that equips professionals and entrepreneurs with the tools to impact their communities and change the world. I met Danny at a mastermind in Austin and was instantly impressed by his character, integrity, and value-driven approach. He cares deeply about the people he serves. Today, he joins the podcast to talk about the problems facing our education system and job market - and how you can use this transformational time to both get ahead and empower others. But… before you listen to the podcast, you can get a free copy of Danny's new book, Leveraged Learning: How the Disruption of Education Helps Lifelong Learners, and Experts with Something to Teach. In it, he explores robust, affordable, and viable new models of education for both students and educators alike. (*You can download Danny's book for free, here.)

While in the midst of battling cancer (three days after I received a 96-hour chemotherapy treatment), I left the hospital in Houston, TX and flew to Orlando, FL and gave my signature keynote speech in front of 2,500 distributors at the Pure Romance 2017 World Conference. It was the most terrifying speech of my life (because of the circumstances, which I expand on in the opening minutes of today's podcast) and somehow turned out to be one of the best speeches I've ever given! Today's podcast is a special episode – the audio from that speech. You'll hear the story of the several times I hit rock bottom in my life, how I came up with the Miracle Morning, and the "emotional invincibility" strategy I've used to deal with everything life has thrown at me, and which you can use to maintain a positive emotional state in the midst of anything life throws at you (car accidents, cancer, traffic, bad days, difficult people… anything!) If you've never heard my Miracle Morning keynote before, now's a great opportunity to listen. If you have, I hope you enjoy this refresher.

Many people rely on multiple cups of coffee or products like 5 Hour Energy to get through the day. Far more of us choose not to prioritize our health until it becomes a serious issue - and one thing we often don't think about is how the food we eat impacts our energy levels and resulting motivation (or lack thereof) throughout the day. Today, I'm talking to you about how to change that in order to naturally feel more energetic and live a longer, healthier, happier life. By the end of this episode, I want you to start to choose foods based on long-term health consequences instead of just taste. Along the way, I'll share with you insights from my own eating habits, strategies to transform your overall diet, and how you can still eat yummy food for every single meal.

Patricia Moreno has been training, mentoring, and educating people all over the world for over 30 years. Her struggles with weight (she weighed in at 212 pounds in 8th grade), eating disorders, and body image led her to create IntenSati - a multidisciplinary study of fitness, martial arts, nutrition, dance, and spiritual practice, which is now taught by thousands of instructors all over the world. I met Patricia at a speaking event and quickly discovered that she views fitness as a "spiritual" practice beyond just the physical. In other words, you've got to be fit both inside and out. And since beating cancer, I've realized that our HEALTH is not merely important, it needs to be our #1 priority, otherwise we won't have the energy to optimize and enjoy our other priorities. Patricia's work has been acclaimed by international experts and featured in publications such as Shape, Vogue, and O: The Oprah Magazine, and I'm thrilled to have her on the podcast to share her story and introduce you to the power of "Spiritual Fitness."

Who are the people in your life who rub you the wrong way because of what they say or do? Is there anyone who you hold resentment towards? Maybe it's much deeper than just being "rubbed the wrong way"—maybe you've been wronged and deeply hurt by someone in your life. In today's solo podcast episode (this may be one of the most important episodes I've ever recorded), I explore why we judge others, how that's detrimental for us, and how to never judge another person again—no matter what they say or do—so that you never have to suffer from the negative emotions that judgment creates. I also share my own experiences with forgiving people who have wronged me, practicing unconditional love, and why I always replace judgment with empathy—even with difficult people and in seemingly impossible situations.

Jon Berghoff walked into Christopher Lochhead's Play Bigger keynote at the One Life Fully Lived conference in Sacramento in 2016. Just a few minutes in, Jon realized that Christopher was expertly teaching how legendary companies (like Facebook) become that way by designing a category. Over the last few years, Christopher has gotten one question more than almost any other: "How does 'category design' apply to me if I'm not going to be the next Mark Zuckerberg?" His answer is Niche Down - a book about how "small" entrepreneurs and people who are seen as unique, different or ground-breaking achieve great success by developing niches of their own. He joins the podcast to share success stories of entrepreneurs selling crazy socks, sushi burritos, bundt cakes, reggae, surfing, and more - and you'll almost definitely be surprised by what you learn.

You may remember a month or so ago when I emailed about the experience of me convincing my daughter to watch a documentary, which inspired her to ask me if we could deliver care package to homeless individuals, the next morning. Well, we did exactly that, and I've been blown away by the impact that the film made for her and our family. The film was Look To The Sky, and after being so moved by it, I reached out to the man who made the film, and asked him if I could interview him on the Achieve Your Goals podcast. It is my pleasure to introduce to you, Brett Culp. After serving as a personal cinematographer to Hollywood stars, iconic musicians, authors, athletes, and even royal families, Brett Culp has built a unique career telling tales of everyday superheroes.

It wasn't very long ago that Chip Franks was taken out on a stretcher in the middle of a conference for entrepreneurs after just having a stroke. As his wife cried and his children were alone in their hotel room, one question consumed his mind: "Did I tell them everything I wanted to tell them?" This led to him quitting his job to write a book outlining everything he'd want his kids to know if he wasn't around. The result? Life Lessons From Dad: 101 Ways To Get More Out of Life From Someone Who Loves You - a 685 page handbook for life. Chip is an entrepreneur at heart - he started early, selling calendars door to door as a child, and went on to build and sell a real estate and property management company after 20 years as a broker. He's shared stages with Tony Robbins, Peter Diamandis, Lewis Howes, Daymond John, Simon Sinek, and today, he joins the podcast to share life lessons and his practical instructions for how to realize them.

When Nick Santonastasso was born, he was given a 30% chance of surviving birth. One of only 12 people in the world born with Hanhart Syndrome – an extremely rare genetic disorder that caused Nick to be born with no legs, only one arm, and one finger. Growing up was hard, and Nick found himself self-loathing and thinking about ending his life.

Conversations are at the core of how we interact. We all know that conversations influence us, but we rarely stop to think about how much impact they have on our well-being and our ability to thrive. How effective would you say that you are at having conversations that significantly and positively impact the lives of the people on the other side of those conversations? Jackie Stavros is the author of Conversations Worth Having: Using Appreciative Inquiry to Fuel Productive and Meaningful Engagement, in which she teaches us how we can communicate better and flourish in all areas of our lives. When Jon Berghoff started the Flourishing Leadership Institute, he asked Dr. David Cooperrider for help. David's response? "You need to talk to Jackie. She is a pioneer in the methodology of the work that I do."

Matt Recore (or "Matty" as I call him) is one of my best friends in the world. We met in 1999, our connection was instant, and we stayed up talking like schoolgirls until three o'clock in the morning. :^D Since then, we've developed an extraordinary friendship. He was a groomsman in my wedding, I became an ordained reverend to perform his and his wife's marriage ceremony, he was by my side in both hospitals, during my car accident and my cancer journey, and we both happen to be mildly obsessed UFC fans. :^) Matt was also always financially ahead of everyone else I knew. He became a millionaire and figured out how to build wealth at a young age, and has kept it going—and growing—ever since. Everyone wants to achieve financial freedom to live the life they want, and today Matt joins the podcast to share not just how he did it, but how you can do the same.

A few years ago, I was invited to speak at an event for the non-profit One Life Fully Lived. While I was there, I saw David Osborn speak for the first time, and I was captivated by his rare blend of authenticity, transparency, expertise, and contribution. He shared his story of transforming from a troubled youth into a self-made millionaire, showing us where every dollar came from as he amassed a fortune worth over $70 million. I'd met a few other millionaires, but none at that level - and few who were willing to openly share the real secrets to their success in a sincere effort to help others. You may have seen my email on Monday announcing that David and I co-authored a new book, Miracle Morning Millionaires: What the Wealthy Do Before 8 AM That Will Make You Rich. On today's podcast episode, David shares his story, his background, and gets you inside the mind of someone who has achieved the financial freedom we'd all love to have. No matter who you are or what your personal income level is, you're sure to benefit from his knowledge and insight.

Over her 40+ year career, Linda Smith has reached the summit of the legal profession. She's litigated on behalf of IBM and Intel, and dealt with male egos as big as Michael Dell's and Mick Jagger's without ever breaking a stride. Linda is also a blogger and author at MeanestWomanAlive.com. She writes about confronting gender stereotypes, self-sabotage, alpha males, and how to seize and hold on to leadership positions. She believes that women should abandon the societal norms dictated by men and use their own playbook - as well as uniquely feminine advantages - to dominate in business. Today, Linda joins the podcast to discuss that playbook, Smashing Glass and Kicking Ass: Lessons from the Meanest Woman Alive. We talk about why a lack of women in leadership roles holds both women and great companies back, the potentially traumatic experiences that helped Linda become who she is today, and what "mean" really means.

From the moment I first heard Rob Actis' voice in an audition, I knew that he would be the voice of The Miracle Morning audiobook series.

In October of 2016, I woke up in the middle of the night, struggling to breathe. Days later, I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia—a very rare and aggressive form of cancer—with a survival rate of 30%. I was told that I had a matter of days to start chemotherapy, or I would die. I took a somewhat unique approach to beating cancer that combined the best of Western medicine with holistic practices to detoxify my body as the chemo wreaked havoc upon it. Not only did I survive, but I experienced less side effects than most cancer patients. Today, I'm doing my first solo episode, in a very long time, to tell my story and present the Miracle Equation that helped save my life. Whether you know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, you yourself have been diagnosed with cancer, or you simply want to minimize your risk of ever getting cancer, this episode is for you.

Today I got together with my long-time friend, Carey Smolensky, to discuss an important topic that I don't often talk about – happiness. Carey wanted to know where it sits in relation to passion and the way I live my life, and it was a joy to explore. Carey has also been helping to produce spectacular live events for years, including our annual Best Year Ever Blueprint, and after years of us twisting his arm he's finally producing his own first major event—The Passion Summit—in Chicago on May 7th and 8th. At The Passion Summit, I will be presenting a brand new keynote—titled What Matters Most?—and helping to answer this universal question that we don't typically ask. (If you're interested in attending The Passion Summit, click here to register. Use the code YOPALVIP to save up to $350.)

For the last two years, I've become a huge fan of Aubrey Marcus – podcast host, author, and the founder and CEO of Onnit, the leading supplement company for human optimization. Within the first few minutes of hearing Aubrey's podcast (two years ago) I felt an instant connection with him as a deeply thoughtful, highly evolved, and exceptionally brilliant individual – one who I could learn A LOT from – and I think you will too. Aubrey recently released the book Own The Day, Own Your Life (available now for pre-order) - his personal manual for getting the most out of your body and mind on a daily basis. I'm about halfway through the book now, and I made significant changes to my daily routine – after reading just the first few chapters. Today, Aubrey joins me on the podcast to talk about his book, how to flip the script when the voice in your head is telling you not to do something that's good for you, and how we can set ourselves up for success in a world that doesn't always have our health and well-being in mind.

After many years earning 22 times the national average income, Jayson Gaignard realized that he wasn't 22 times happier, so he decided to walk away. He felt stuck on the entrepreneurial hamster wheel, building a business he hated to buy things he didn't need, to impress people he didn't necessarily like. While he looked highly successful on the outside, he was completely bankrupt on the inside. Fast forward to today, and Jayson's life is virtually unrecognizable from what it was only a few short years ago... Praised by Forbes as a "Networker to Watch" in 2015 and Founder of one of the top events in the world for entrepreneurs — MastermindTalks — which has featured world-renowned entrepreneurs such as Tim Ferriss, Gary Vaynerchuk, James Altucher, Guy Kawasaki, and hundreds more.

What kind of future would give YOU the greatest sense of pride, meaning and fulfillment? We know that when we connect with our strengths, we perform at a much higher level. Yet, far too often, we look at what's wrong, what's broken and what's missing as a way to solve our problems and find fulfillment in our lives. What if instead, we looked at where we've been at our best—and then determined the factors that led to that success by asking better questions. Questions that would not only help us find deeper meaning in our own lives, but would create a shared sense of purpose in the lives of others. That's what you're going to learn about today. In fact, we're doing something a little different. We're going to be replaying a recent conversation between Jon Berghoff and host of The Millionaire Mindcast podcast, Matty Aitchison. When I heard this discussion, I knew I had to share it with our community, as it's loaded with insight! Jon also reminds us that as a leader, you not only need to build the habit and practice of asking great questions, but you also have to build the habit of allowing yourself to not get attached to your first answer. Don't be afraid to let your answers evolve! Copyright © 2017 Miracle Morning, LP and International Literary Properties LLC
