In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, host Matt Lupi delves into the Marshmallow Experiment, a cornerstone of psychological research that continues to offer profound insights into human behavior and success. Originally conducted over six years with hundreds of children, this fascinating study presented youngsters with a tantalizing choice: enjoy one marshmallow immediately or wait fifteen minutes for a doubly sweet reward. The children who demonstrated the ability to delay gratification not only scored higher on cognitive tests, coped better with stress, and achieved higher SAT scores but also laid the groundwork for a successful future.

Fast forward to 2018, a groundbreaking follow-up study with over 900 participants shed new light on the enduring impact of socio-economic factors, such as affluence and poverty, on a child's capacity for self-control. Intriguingly, despite assumptions that our digital age might erode our patience, subsequent replications of the experiment have shown an increase in the duration children are willing to delay gratification. Could it be that modern technology and the ability to think more abstractly are actually enhancing our executive functions, including self-control?

Join Matt as he explores the significance of these findings and provides actionable strategies for improving our own ability to delay gratification. From satisfying basic needs and setting long-term goals to developing a supportive network and mastering distraction techniques, this episode is packed with insights and tips for anyone looking to harness the power of patience for personal and professional success. Whether it's choosing $100 today or $500 next month, or saying no to a cheat meal in favor of fitness goals, learning to delay gratification is, as M. Scott Peck eloquently put it, "the only decent way to live." Tune in to discover how you can apply the lessons of the marshmallow test to define and achieve your own success.

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of the brain, focusing on a key player in our mental and emotional landscape: the anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC). Known for its integral role in cognitive control, emotional regulation, pain processing, and decision-making, the aMCC is a cornerstone of our neural architecture that responds and adapts to the challenges we face. But what happens in our brain when we push our limits and step outside our comfort zones?

Join us as we explore how tackling difficult tasks not only strengthens the aMCC but also enhances our overall brain function, making us more resilient to stress and better equipped to handle fear and anxiety. We'll unravel the science behind neuroplasticity and how engaging in challenging activities can lead to significant improvements in our cognitive and emotional abilities.

But it's not just about the hard stuff; it's also about our perception of stress and fear in our lives. Often, we magnify these feelings, allowing them to dictate our actions and mindset. This episode sheds light on the importance of stress and fear, discussing how these emotions are not the giants we often make them out to be. Instead, they are essential components of our survival toolkit, designed to alert us but not immobilize us.

Through personal anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, we'll provide you with actionable insights on how to harness the challenges you face to strengthen your brain and transform your approach to stress and fear. Whether you're looking to boost your mental agility, enhance your emotional resilience, or simply curious about the incredible adaptability of the human brain, this episode is for you.

So, plug in, tune out the noise, and discover how doing hard things can lead to significant growth, not just in the anterior mid-cingulate cortex, but in every aspect of your life. Let's embark on this journey of discovery and empowerment together!

Welcome to another empowering episode of Define Success with your host, Matt Lupi. In today's episode, titled "The Goal Setting Toolkit," Matt delves into the profound world of goal setting, breaking down the science and strategies behind achieving success in any aspect of life.

In this enlightening discussion, Matt explores the fundamental question: What is a goal? A goal is not just a distant aspiration; it's a conscious effort aligned with your values, the driving force behind your actions. Matt draws from the extensive research of Edwin Locke and Gary Latham, who conducted over 400 studies on goals, to unveil the science of effective goal setting.

Locke and Latham's findings underscore the importance of specificity, difficulty, acceptance, feedback, and deadlines in setting and achieving goals. Specific goals propel you to higher performance levels, while challenging yet attainable objectives push you to grow. Acceptance of your goals is crucial, requiring a personal commitment akin to a private meeting with yourself. Feedback is the compass guiding your progress, and deadlines infuse urgency and effectiveness into your pursuit.

However, Matt doesn't stop there. He explores the common pitfalls of goal setting and shares insights from the book "Self" by Kathleen Vohs and Brandon Schmeichel. With a touch of humor, he discusses the importance of self-regulation, urging listeners to recognize that change begins within, much like the lightbulb that has to want to change itself.

Dr. Andrew Huberman's perspective adds a new layer to the conversation, emphasizing that dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with pleasure, peaks not when a goal is achieved, but during its pursuit. Matt encourages listeners to find joy in the daily grind, understanding that progress and consistency yield greater rewards than the ultimate achievement.

To help you dial in your goals, Matt offers practical tactics. Ask yourself if a goal is truly worth pursuing, write it down consistently, track your progress, and find an accountability partner. However, he cautions against falling into the dopamine trap and reminds us that the journey is never truly done. Always see the bigger picture and consider what comes next after achieving a goal.

Tune in to Define Success to equip yourself with the Goal Setting Toolkit, unlocking the secrets to turning your aspirations into tangible achievements. Get ready to embrace the pursuit, find joy in progress, and redefine your path to success!

In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, Matt Lupi recounts an extraordinary achievement alongside his companions, Matt Worthington and Richard Gilpin, as they collectively conquered the formidable challenge of completing 1,010 pull-ups in a mere 5 hours. Employing a strategic approach, the trio executed 3 pull-ups every minute on the minute, showcasing both physical prowess and mental resilience throughout the grueling endeavor.

As the trio battled fatigue and the tempting prospect of surrender, a powerful mantra resonated in their minds: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." This profound insight encapsulates the essence of their journey—a testament to the indomitable spirit that emerges when individuals unite for a common goal. Undertaking such a physical and mental feat alone would border on the impossible, and even if achieved, the victory would be hollow and devoid of shared triumph. Instead, these comrades not only conquered the challenge but did so in the company of friends, fostering an atmosphere of mutual support and accountability. The result? A resounding success fueled by the collective strength and inspiration drawn from one another.

Join host Matt Lupi on this insightful episode of the Define Success Podcast as we delve into the powerful concept that can reshape your life—The Hedgehog Concept. Discover the keys to unlocking your true purpose and achieving lasting success.

The Hedgehog Concept is a business strategy framework introduced by Jim Collins in his book "Good to Great." Collins and his research team studied a set of companies that made the leap from being good companies to truly great ones. They found that these great companies shared common characteristics, and one of them was what Collins called the Hedgehog Concept.

The Hedgehog Concept is based on the idea of a hedgehog, which, when threatened by predators, has one very effective response: it rolls itself into a tight, spiky ball. In the context of business strategy, the Hedgehog Concept represents the intersection of three circles:

  1. Passion: What you are deeply passionate about.
  2. Best at: What you can be the best in the world at.
  3. Economic Engine: What drives your economic or resource engine.

The idea is to find the overlap of these three circles, focusing on activities or pursuits that align with all three aspects. According to Collins, great companies focus on doing a few things exceptionally well rather than trying to be everything to everyone. By concentrating on what they are truly passionate about, excel at, and drives their economic engine, companies can achieve long-term success and greatness.

The Hedgehog Concept encourages organizations to identify their core strengths and stick to them, avoiding the temptation to spread resources and efforts thin across unrelated areas. It's a framework that promotes clarity and simplicity in strategic decision-making.

In this episode, Matt Lupi explores the wisdom of the Hedgehog Concept, a transformative business strategy introduced by Jim Collins. But it's not just for corporations; it's a roadmap for individuals seeking clarity in their life's journey. Uncover the three crucial elements—passion, mastery, and economic drive—that converge to reveal your unique life purpose.

Matt dives into real-life stories and practical tips on how the Hedgehog Concept can guide you towards a fulfilling and purpose-driven life. Learn how to identify what truly ignites your passion, understand where your skills shine the brightest, and align your pursuits with what fuels your personal and professional growth.

If you're ready to redefine success on your terms, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in as Matt Lupi explores the Hedgehog Concept, offering actionable insights that will empower you to find your purpose and live a life that truly matters.

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Define Success Podcast with your host, Matt Lupi. In today's episode, we dive deep into the profound question that plagues us all at some point: "If not now, then when?"

Procrastination is a universal struggle that we've all encountered to varying degrees. How many times have you harbored a brilliant idea or set ambitious goals, only to let them languish, unfulfilled? If you claim you've never experienced this, it's time for some introspection because, let's face it, we're all guilty to some extent.

But why do we procrastinate? There are usually two main culprits. First, there are moments when we're just too comfortable in our inertia, succumbing to laziness. No sugarcoating needed – it happens. Second, there are times when the goal at hand doesn't quite light the fire of passion within us. Taking action in such situations can feel as painful as pulling teeth.

We often find ourselves caught in the web of our daily schedules. Even when life isn't overwhelmingly busy, it's easy to believe that there's no room for a new habit, morning routine, or side hustle. Consequently, we end up taking no action on the very things we claim to desire. The truth is, what we fail to prioritize, we inevitably fail to achieve.

In such moments, it's essential to ask yourself that powerful question: "If not now, then when?" The answer to this question can lead to one of three outcomes:

  1. Immediate Action: You recognize that it's your ego holding you back, and you understand the importance of getting to work. Matt Lupi shares his experience of preparing to cold plunge – his mind initially resists, but he conquers that resistance with action.

  2. A Plan for Action: You come to terms with the fact that "someday" is not a day of the week. Matt Lupi, for instance, reveals how he resurrected his consistent saving and investment habits by setting specific goals, timelines, and commitments. No more vague promises to yourself.

  3. No Pursuit at All: Sometimes, it's okay to embrace the fact that you can't juggle 20 different things simultaneously. If your plate is already full or you're presented with opportunities that don't align with your true passions, it's perfectly acceptable to say no. Matt Lupi candidly explores those moments when his ego tempted him to follow others' paths, only to realize that the pursuit was not aligned with his true desires. This episode will help you find peace in recognizing when to say no and focus on what truly matters.

Join us as we navigate the complexities of procrastination, self-awareness, and the power of making the right choices at the right time. Don't miss this thought-provoking episode of the Define Success Podcast with Matt Lupi. Remember, success begins with understanding that question: "If not now, then when?"

In this episode of the Define Success podcast, host Matt Lupi explores the transformative potential of building small daily habits to achieve success. He emphasizes that true success stems from the consistent daily actions we take, rather than relying on grand events or opportunities. Matt introduces the concept of the Cumulative Effect, which refers to the collective impact of repeated or accumulated events over time.

Matt provides examples to illustrate the Cumulative Effect in action. Saving money, for instance, involves consistently adding quarters to a piggy bank, eventually accumulating enough to purchase something significant. Similarly, making incremental improvements to fitness and nutrition, such as increasing daily protein intake or engaging in regular exercise, yields noticeable changes in one's body and overall well-being. Conversely, neglecting small maintenance tasks, like cleaning the sink, leads to a mounting mess and increased stress.

The episode delves into the importance of recognizing the power of daily actions. Matt highlights that the small choices and habits we engage in on a daily basis have a profound impact on our lives. Drawing from the analogy of a penny versus $5 million, he emphasizes that small actions, when consistently practiced, accumulate and can yield substantial results.

Matt urges listeners to avoid settling for less and instead embrace the transformative potential of daily habits. It is easy to underestimate the power of consistent, small choices that align with our goals. Failing to make these small choices can hinder progress and keep us from reaching our desired outcomes.

To overcome overwhelming goals, Matt suggests breaking them down into daily habits. By focusing on small actions performed consistently, even the most daunting goals become achievable. He shares a personal example of preparing for an ultra marathon, illustrating how running just one mile a day can make a significant difference over time.

Furthermore, Matt emphasizes the importance of making daily habits easy and obvious. By creating schedules, setting reminders, or strategically placing visual cues, we can solidify our commitment to these habits and increase their effectiveness.

The episode concludes by exploring the success of accomplished individuals. Matt asserts that their achievements are not solely the result of innate talent but rather the daily habits they consistently practice. He references Malcolm Gladwell's concept of investing 10,000 hours into a craft, emphasizing the significance of daily dedication and deliberate practice.

In closing, Matt encourages listeners to recognize the power of small daily habits and the Cumulative Effect in shaping their lives. By starting small, remaining consistent, and embracing steady progress, anyone can unleash their potential and achieve remarkable success.

If you have been listening to this podcast for awhile, you will recognize this phenomenal guest. He is the founder of the world’s first luxury concierge company and has expanded his reach as a author, speaker and coach. Steve Sims is back on the Define Success podcast to talk about his new book: Go for Stupid

What would you achieve if you weren’t afraid of being laughed at?

In the age of “gotcha” culture, people are terrified to do anything that might be laughed at. Steve Sims is the exact opposite.

In Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals, Steve teaches you how to ignore what everyone else thinks and go for big, stupid, ridiculous goals. From organizing a private dinner in front of Michelangelo’s David, to securing a tour of SpaceX led by Elon Musk himself, his accomplishments always start with the same questions: How far can I take this? What would make this a stupid achievement? Steve examines famously stupid goals in history, the key habits of successful people, and lessons from his own career to help you let go of your fear and get out of your own way.

Stop overthinking and go for ridiculous, stupid goals. Once you “go for stupid,” you open the door to the life you always dreamed about.

Steve Sims returns to the show to discuss:

  • What inspired him to write a new book
  • Why should goals be ‘stupid’
  • Working with successful people and what is the common denominator
  • Dealing with rejection
  • Reminding yourself of your dreams
  • How Steve defines success

In 1519, Cuban conquistador Hernan Cortes led his men to the Mexico coastline to defeat the Aztecs. This was a task that was basically a death wish, based on the Aztecs collective strength and barbaric tendencies. Cortes was able to energize his men, well, up until it was time to fight. When his men starred death, fear and discomfort in the eyes, they asked to retreat back to complacency. Cortes demanded "burn the ships". There was no going home. They were to win or die trying.

This powerful historical story is one that applies to all of our lives. Success sounds appealing and we are all motivated by the outcome of hard work. However, many people fold when it comes to taking action. This is because action comes with stress, failure, discomfort and more. Us as humans HATE these feelings. However, these feelings are required for growth. Everything that we want in life is on the other side of fear.

This podcast is all about how you can apply Cortes' 3 simple words to your life. Remove all options that lead to your lack of commitment. Go all in on your personal goals and watch your life evolve in front of your eyes!

In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, Matt discusses:

  • The story of Hernan Cortes
  • What to learn from the fall of the Aztecs
  • Why humans hate the feeling of discomfort
  • How to become more committed to your goals
  • Why you should remove unnecessary options that hold you back
  • Call to action!

Completing this challenge will show you how to 100x your confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, self-belief, fortitude, and grittiness. The challenge consists of 75 days of 2 45-minute workouts (one being outdoors), 10 pages of non-fiction reading, drinking a gallon of water, following a diet, no cheat meals, no alcohol and take a progress picture. Every. Damn. Day. If you fail, you go back to Day 1.

After successfully completing the challenge, Ricky and I sat down to discuss the outcome of the challenge. We discuss lessons learned, the hardest days and encouragement for anyone who wants to try! Ricky reflects on who he was on a person before Day 1 and how the challenge dramatically changed that. Matt shares how he learned a profound lesson about 75 HARD that completing it was not the end, it was the beginning of living a more successful life.

In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, Ricky and Matt discuss:

  • Biggest takeaways from 75 HARD
  • Our cheat meal cravings throughout the challenge
  • Who we were on Day 1 compared to Day 75
  • The moments where we almost failed
  • What inspired us to start 75 HARD
  • How this challenge relates to defining and achieving success
  • Big achievements
  • Dealing with doubt from others
  • Fighting self-doubt
  • Making incredible physical and mental gains

Each morning you wake up with new opportunities. The outlook of your day is determinant on how you spend your first moments. Do you wake in the morning and instantly check your phone, emails or the news? Or do you stay away from technology, move your body and put yourself in a position to grow? Too many people fall in the former group. The latter group is filled with individuals who already have an advantage of you that day and are in a better position to complete tasks, live a healthy lifestyle and reach their goals. Although these people may hold the same goals, the same job, etc, the difference maker is their morning routine.

Many people may tell you to wake up at 4am, 5am, or 6am. Hours that people would never set their alarm for unless an absolute necessity. Although waking up when the rest of the world is sleeping has a lot of merit, it is not necessary. What is more important is completing a morning routine, regardless of the time you wake up. This routine is unique to you. It can be 20 minutes or 2 hours. It can include a heavy lifting session or 20 minutes of meditation. It can include yoga or time blocking. The contents and length of your morning routing are up to YOU.

However, there is a method that you should follow as the mare minimum. Introducing the PEAK method. This 4-prong method will ensure that your day starts on the path of success.

P - Plan/Prepare

  • The P in the PEAK Method stands for Plan or Prepare. This means that you should create structure for your day in the form of time blocking, a to-do list or building a calendar.

E - Educate

  • The E in the PEAK Method stands for Educate. Start your morning by strengthening your brain with a informational podcast, book or YouTube video.

A - Activity

  • The A in the PEAK Method stands for Activity. Moving your body in the morning in the form of any exercise will boost your energy, productivity and overall health.

K - KILL

  • The K in the Peak Method stands for Kill. You have big goals and a busy day ahead of you. Attack your day with urgency and kill any task in front of you!

Everyone gets motivated. Everyone wants to put in the work when it is convenient for them. Everyone loves the "idea" of success. However, many people fold when the motivation runs out, when it is not convenient for them, when they do not want to put in the work to achieve success. This is discipline. Discipline is putting in the work that you need to put in, even when you do not want to. And your lack of discipline is holding you back.

Discipline is an art. It is the Swiss army knife that is versatile and necessary to complete many jobs. Most of us don't have that tool in the shed. Or it is not sharpened. If this is you, you are in the right place. Discipline is the best way to achieve success, build confidence and get sh*t done!

In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, we discuss:

  • What discipline is and why it is important
  • Wake up call for the lazy
  • Lessons learned from Tartar tribes
  • How discipline can change every aspect of your life
  • Daily Non-Negotiable List
  • Power List to create every night

"You can pay now and play later, or you can play now and pay later. But either way, you are going to have to pay". This excellent quote was provided by John C. Maxwell in his book, Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success". This quote expands on the principle that today is important for your future. Your actions today will determine if your future is filled with success, or failure. Which path are you headed on based on your daily actions?

In this episode, host Matt Lupi provides you with a call to action to make today count. On the journey to success, a fee must be paid. Dues are collected. You can either choose to pay these dues now while you are still young, hungry and full of energy OR you can defer these dues until later in life, filling your days with stress, unfulfillment and worry. Either way, you have to pay. Would you rather pay now and play later, or play now and pay later?

Many people desire success but lack the work ethic that success requires. Each day, we can pay dues toward our finances, mindset, education, relationships, emotions, spirituality and more. Investing in these critical areas of life now will blossom into future success, where you can then play freely. Rather than taking vacations while work still clouds your mind and brings you stress, you can instead live freely and do what you want, when you want, with who you want, if you just make the decision to pay your dues NOW.

In this episode, Matt discusses:

  • The importance of paying now, instead of playing
  • Ways to pay your dues NOW and every day
  • How to become proactive, rather than reactive
  • The benefit of playing later, without stress and obligation
  • A visualization exercise
  • The expense of success increases with your age
  • 4-step plan of action to make today matter

For the last quarter century, Rich Cardona has either been working, advancing his education, or serving our country. Throughout that time, Rich has always had a voice in his head saying, "You aren't even reaching your full potential." Rich found my that after successfully retiring from the Marine Corps in 2015 the reality is that often times he was disinterested, distracted, and ambivalent. He was meandering through life. Upon retirement, Rich had the thought that "nobody would give a sh*t that I flew a $24m aircraft", which led him to a short career with Amazon. In June 2018, he uprooted his life (and family) and ventured out into an unfamiliar landscape; entrepreneurship. And now, he shares how he has absolute and total responsibility for everything wonderful, terrible, and unexpected that results of this life altering decision.

Throughout the next steps in his life, Rich has had a lot of experience in leadership. Despite this, he felt as if he was "just a number" working at Amazon and reflects how this "was a very unsettling feeling". Rich got tired of this after he saw his life moving in a negative direction. He then created a sense of urgency in his life and left. He now specializes in creating personal branding content for personnel and leaders. He strives to engage in authentic and candid chats that can allow audiences to see the makeup of companies' most influential personnel. In this new space, Rich feels fulfilled, satisfied and successful. And he is here to show us how to accomplish the same.

Together, Rich and Matt discuss:
- Lessons learned from the Marine Corps
- Taking the next step in your career
- Bringing leadership to any role, boosting your teams productivity
- "Run the race that you're in"
- How and why to create more urgency your life
- How to identify "fakers" and why hard work outlasts all
- Looking at what lies ahead in your life
- Develop the belief that you can create something
- Rich's definition of success
- MUCH More!

In this episode of the Define Success, we go over the difference between the abundant mindset and the scarcity mindset, and why it is crucial for all of us to have an abundant mindset! A scarcity mindset is one where you view life and its resources as limited. On the other hand, an abundant mindset is one where you view life in the lens of infinite possibility. Unlimited money, opportunities, growth, education and love for everyone in the world. Which sounds more desirable? The answer should be easy.

To help your mindset, we include eight ways to develop an abundant mindset, that you can work on TODAY!

  1. Believe in infinite possibilities
  2. Understand the power of your thoughts
  3. Stop comparing yourself to others
  4. Incorporate gratitude as a daily practice
  5. Build win-win situations
  6. Be willing to learn
  7. Create daily affirmations that encourage abundance
  8. Surround yourself with other abundant mindsets

Despite what you may believe, it IS possible to break away from the middle class. It IS possible to develop a strong mindset. And it IS possible to live a life of success, abundance, and financial freedom. As we go through life, you need to think and act like the top 1% in order to be the 1%. The best way to do this is to not run away from problems, but to "embrace problems, look for a solution and profit from that problem.

  • Finding passion in your career choice

Host Matt Lupi is a big advocate for a strong, positive reputation. Throughout my life, I have worked hard to establish a good reputation that can carry me through any endeavor. Between being a podcast host, Eagle Scout, sports agent, college graduate, friend and son, I have focused on putting one foot in front of the other and remember that "people won't remember what you say, people will remember how you make them feel."

In today's age, reputation is everything.

We often think that we need to know everyone, but in reality, we need everyone to know us! Having many eyes on you mixed with a positive impression is a recipe for success that you NEED to tap into.

In this episode we talk all about the importance of a strong reputation, how personal branding impacts your future and actionable steps for you to realize what reputation you give off for the world to see, in any role. If you are someone who desires to develop a stronger network and positively impact those around you, this is the episode for you!

Matt discusses:

● How you have many different roles in life, each coming with different reputations

Returning guest speaker Joshua Grady is an entrepreneur, investor, and business consultant. He became the youngest NFL agent in 2016 at the age of 24 and, a year later, he started his own NFL agency. He recalls those early days trying to get his footing in as an agent several years ago, as “a wide eyed, 23 year old with an ambition to shift the narrative.” Having realized “that far too many athletes were being under taught, under-educated, and misused by agents for far too long,” Joshua was determined to make his mark on the world of professional football. Today, he is blessed to report that he has had a client make an NFL roster every year!

After reflecting on developments in life and business since his last appearance, Joshua states that he wants to be a resource for individuals “who desire to live contrary to the rest of society”: those who shun mediocrity and have an overwhelming urge to be successful in their own, unique way.

In this episode we talk all about Joshua’s journey so far as an agent and what he believes have been key to his relatively quick success in the industry. He preaches the long-game—that what truly counts for those with any type of ambition is making those often-tiny, periodic “deposits of success”. If you are someone who struggles to exercise patience and overcome instant gratification, this is the episode for you!

Together, Joshua and Matt discuss:

● Why your definition of “success” will continually change throughout your life

● How to overcome your fear of failure

● Why the secret to living is giving

● What the successful do to get through the hard times when most people would quit

● The importance of mentorship

● Practical strategies to stay accountable when striving for big goals

● Stop telling and start doing

● What it means to strike a balance between humility and confidence

● Why you need to OVERpromise and overdeliver

● MUCH more!

Today’s guest is an entrepreneur, business coach, podcaster, US Marine veteran, HGTV host and the founder of the Contractor Fight. Whether you go to him for advice on your mindset or for advice on an at-home DIY project, his overarching mission is to encourage you to want more for you and your family. Tom Reber strives to Live Unafraid and joins us today to show you how to lead, inspire and earn your success.

Have you ever found yourself un-disciplined, lazy, or feel like you have no direction? It's okay. We've all been there.

Do you have the courage and discipline to pull yourself out? That is where most of us struggle.

Living a successful life requires discipline and momentum - and lots of it. Rather than laying in bed thinking about how difficult your situation may be, it is time to get up and chase your dreams! That is where Tom Reber comes in. If you are looking for a punch in the mouth of motivation, you are at the right place.

Tom recently broke his foot, right before we recorded this episode. Rather than feeling sorry for himself, Tom said "I will not let this ruin my 75 Hard Challenge". WOW! Talk about commitment. Tom's mindset is on a different level and he shares that with us today. In this episode we discuss:

"Get comfortable with being uncomfortable". You may have heard this quote before. This does not mean discomfort in the sense of going to bed with your jeans on. This means, pushing your mind and body to take action on what you are fearful of. Something that is outside of your current norm. 

Often times we find ourselves on autopilot. Our routines and habits put us into a box of comfort, and it is often difficult to get out of. True growth in life comes from pushing these limits and putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations. 

In this episode, we discuss what being uncomfortable really means. Why is it important to find yourself in uncomfortable situations daily? If you are looking to grow and be more successful, we show how to seek discomfort and how to attack it.

Bein uncomfortable build mental toughness, promotes learning and shows you who you really are.

That is a great question and one that, when answered properly, lead you to greater success. In this episode we talk about what balance is and why it is so important.

The college years are a time to learn new information, but also learn a lot about yourself. For some people, these lessons show that the school system is suppressing their dreams and ambitions. That it can be frustrating to speak with people that do not have a similar mindset. That you are destined for greatness as soon as you are set free.

These are thoughts commonly shared between my friend group and I. I am blessed to be surrounded by several individuals my age that encourage growth mindsets and share successful ideas. Two of these individuals have been with me since 2012. Introducing Erik and Ricky Loudermilk. Fraternal twins that, although have some different hobbies and passions, similarly share a strong mindset.

Erik and Ricky both are Seniors at Pitt and Penn State, respectively. They spend their time away from pre-Med studies by going to the gym, reading, serving as an EMS and trading stocks. I have had countless conversations with them about success, and it was time that we put a microphone in front of us.

In this episode, the three of us discuss a variety of topics. In this episode you can get an in-depth look at how we view success through:

  • Separating ourselves from our peers
  • Investing in our personal development
  • Learning new skills
  • Developing a morning routine
  • Placing importance on family and friends
  • Our inflection points that led to better mindsets
  • Our biggest motivating factors
  • Actionable steps that you should take

Whether you are in college or not, I encourage you to listen to this inspiring conversation. Afterwards, I urge you to have similar conversations with your friends and family members. Promote growth around you and never stop rooting for your inner circle.

In 1993, an Army Ranger special operation mission took place in Mogadishu where their goal was to capture two Somali leaders. During this mission, an unfortunate change of events unfolded which led to two Blackhawks being shot down, 18 deaths, 80 injuries and one missing pilot. This mission left an impact on our nation and armed forces, and the story can now be found in the film, “BlackHawk Down”. Despite the casualties and tragic events from this mission, there are many lessons to be learned for both military members, but also ordinary civilians. Today’s guest, Larry Moores, was impacted firsthand from these events and has been involved in making positive change since that battle. Larry joins us to talk about leading that convoy back in 1993 and the lessons learned since.

As the convoy leader of the mission, Moores needed to effectively lead his men. Throughout difficult training before becoming a Ranger and discipline leading up to the mission, Moores and his men were properly equipped to carry out this mission. However, we all know that things do not always go to plan. When faced with resistance, Moores had to dig deep into his leadership ideals to ensure a safe, effective outcome. It is often in high pressure situations that true leaders step up and rise to the occasion.

Moores reflects on the events of the Battle of Mogadishu and relates it to how he views leadership and success today. During the contemporary world events overseas, it is important to learn from our countries most effective leaders to best understand the circumstances. Larry embodies that title very well and provides excellent insight for the listeners.

What is the Law of Attraction? Does it work? How can I use it? When is it most effective? These may be some questions you have asked yourself when learning about the Law of Attraction. Although it may seem imaginary and ineffective, the Law of Attraction is a powerful tool and if used properly, can result in massive success in your life.

In this episode, we break down what the Law of Attraction is and how you can begin to better understand its processes. This philosophy dates back to the early 1900's when Andrew Carnegie was mentoring Napoleon Hill. He explained that there are two levels of this law: vibrations and attraction. Since then, more research and study has been done to further explain the process and benefits of the Law. We discuss how to better understand your conscious mind and unconscious mind, what the three types of goals are, the best way to visualize a goal and how to operate on a different frequency.

Listening to this episode will give you a more comprehensive analysis of the Law of Attraction and how you can apply it to your life today. But don't forget the most crucial step: The Law of Action. Nothing is achieved unless you get up and make your dreams a reality!
