Episode Summary
Are you ready to jump?
Melanie Curtis has jumped out of an airplane more than 11,000 times. What have you done today?
Kidding aside, it takes a lot of courage to do something difficult, but there’s more to success and fulfillment than learning how to skydive without having a panic attack.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Melanie Curtis, author of How to Fly, about fear, courage, starting over, trying new things, trying hard things, and just trying in general. It’s a great conversation you don’t want to miss!

Episode Summary
We’re Busy, But Isn’t That The Problem?
It’s one thing to acknowledge that you’re busy — it’s another to do something about it.
Most of us know we are doing too much, but if we don’t take the time to prune our responsibilities, we will forever be seeking success without ever being able to enjoy it.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Tanya Dalton, author of On Purpose, about what it takes to get unstuck, how to fix the problem of being too busy, and how we always have the power of choice in any situation.

Episode Summary
Life has a tendency to get busier. It’s easy to add more, and taking time off has to be intentional, pre-planned, and filled with the few things that genuinely breathe life back into you.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss sabbaticals, creative breakthroughs, and slowing down in order to speed things up the right way.
I also share my new plan to take a break from this podcast for the first time ever. Don’t worry, it’s not long and won’t start for a while. 🙂

Episode Summary
The Opposite of Getting Stuck is Taking Action
Whenever I find myself stuck, I know that I need two things: a wake up call and a new set of habits to guarantee long-term success.
Recently, I found myself stuck between projects, stuck in my health goals, and stuck in my overall mood about getting things done. The way forward was a lifestyle shift that is based on what I chose to do (and choose not to do) everyday.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss 5 habits I eliminated and 5 new healthy habits that replaced them.

Episode Summary
Who doesn't love a good challenge? Most people.
The funny thing about challenging activities is that they are only truly daunting to those who never attempt them.
Think about that. Do you find difficult tasks super challenging after you have successfully completed them? Probably not — and for a good reason.
The challenge transformed from a perilous, fear-inducing hellscape into something radically new, beautiful, and possible.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how doing hard things (like working out twice a day) can reintroduce you to yourself in ways you never imagined.

Episode Summary
Living in the shadows is not living.
One of the most difficult personal growth challenges in existence is to live authentically to who you are without interference from others.
Living true to yourself means making decisions that will almost unequivocally upset people you know, love, and trust. It’s going to hurt — at least, that’s what we tend to assume.
My friend David Hooper (host of Build a Big Podcast) talks all the time about flying your flag, standing for something, and spreading a message based on who you are at the core.
It’s time for you to get out of the shadows and fly your flag. Are you ready?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the personal side of personal growth, how to fly your flag, and how to live true to the one life you have.

Episode Summary
Is it time to leave Twitter?
Social media has always had a place in my adult life, but should it?
I have taken breaks from social media apps and platforms in the past, but never for more than a few days at a time. Is that healthy? Is there a better way to connect, market, stay in touch, follow trends, or just simply know what’s going on in the world?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss life without less social media, and how to stop looking for something that isn’t there.

Episode Summary
Do we rise to the occasion when it matters most? Actually, no.
It’s a common misconception that we rise to the occasion when we are under stress or challenged to be our best.
What actually happens is that we fall to the level of our training, habits, and default behaviors. In other words, we act in accordance with our set point.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss what a set point is, how you can change yours, and what that means for your future ambitious goals.

Episode Summary
What Do You Believe In?
Afew years after I graduated college, and a few years before I launched my podcast, I spent a lot of time listening to others.
A big chunk of my listening time was devoted to personal development audio programs, and one program stood out for a while: This I Believe from NPR.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss an essay I submitted to NPR’s show and how my belief in extremes has shaped my decision-making for nearly my entire life.

Episode Summary
Quick! Don’t think. What would you do if you could do anything?
This was the question posed to me by one of my closest friends when I was in my mid-twenties.
My answer? Public speaker. I didn’t think — I just blurted it out. That’s what I wanted then, and it’s who I am today.
The picture above is one I snapped right before going on stage and hosting an awards ceremony earlier this summer. Afterwards, I was told repeatedly how my presence and presentation fit the event, and it sank in like never before — I was meant to do this.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I share 10 strategies to determine what you were meant to do. You are meant to bring greatness to something, and we’re going to figure it out together.

Episode Summary
Grouping similar tasks is more powerful than you believe.
Where is the most time lost on any given day?
It’s not a trick question. The answer is between tasks — both between different types of tasks and between similar ones. We lose time when we change our focus and mode of work.
Batching is the biggest productivity secret hiding in plain sight, and it’s time we took full advantage of it.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss unbalanced batching and the power of grouping similar tasks in order to save time and increase productivity nearly overnight.

Episode Summary
January 1st is just a day like any other.
Change happens when you decide to change.
There is no special day. There is no Day 1 other than the day you choose to begin — and that does NOT have to wait for a new year, a new season, a new opportunity, or a new excuse to delay starting right now.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the value of change when you decide to change. True transformation is based on you reaching the breaking point of refusing to live as you have been living — nothing more, nothing less.

Episode Summary
Do you know why you fail?
You fail because you don’t have the systems you need to guarantee your own success. You don’t have the guardrails, the focus, or the insight to know where you succumb to distraction, comparison, or predetermined defeat.
Yes, you are your own worst enemy — but you can change that.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to never fail again by building the 10 guardrails that can guarantee your success in any endeavor.

Episode Summary
The Only “Wrong” Choice is Not Choosing At All
Fear of failure is a monster — and it’s eating away at your potential every time you choose not to choose.
The classic paradox of being stuck between 2 meals, choosing neither, and starving to death is a perfect illustration of what it means to forgo making a decision because the fear of choosing the wrong option wins out.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss why doing nothing is far worse than choosing the “wrong” next decision.

Episode Summary
My normal state of being is in motion. I stay active, drink coffee, check off items on my to-do list, and move from one thing to the next, to the next, to the next.
However, that doesn’t mean I’m doing this right. There is immense power in doing “nothing” (or what we think of as nothing).

Episode Summary
Bouncy Balls? Yes! Absolutely, Yes!
There’s a reason why my primary online course is called The Rockin’ Productivity Academy. The word “Rockin'” was chosen on purpose.
When I picture my best workday, there is a specific vision that flashes through my mind: working hard on something I love while singing, dancing, smiling, or some combination of all those.
We all need to smile more. We all need to play more. In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how you can incorporate adult recess into your workday.
This is not an anti-work philosophy. On the contrary, it’s a work-super-hard-while-having-the-time-of-your-life mantra.

Episode Summary
Are you setting your sights too low?
I have been pursuing ambitious goals for years, but just how ambitious are they really?
As I have pursued various levels of productivity, I am always drawn back again and again to goals that greatly inspire me — not just sound hard.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Kara Loewentheil about setting impossible goals by redefining how you think about yourself and the work you devote yourself to each and every day.

Episode Summary
The right tools can make all the difference.
If you work from home you know that it’s not the same as being in an office. I have worked from home since 2014, so I’ve nearly forgotten about life in a cubicle (but not completely).
Aside from the lack of coworkers (which I find to be refreshing), you may find it’s actually harder to get your work done simply because you don’t have access to your favorite resources (like that enormous printer/copier combo machine).
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the top 10 work-from-home tools, tech, and other useful gadgets for getting work done AND having fun at the same time!

Episode Summary
Self-Help has a bad reputation — or does it?
Depending on who you ask, “self-help” can be a dangerous term, or a life-changing one.
I grew up without any working knowledge of the personal development industry, but my discovery of it in my early twenties radically (and permanently) changed my life.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the role of self-help in personal growth and its clear place in society as an industry ripe for a good scam. Both things are true, and I’ll break down exactly what we can do about all of it.

Episode Summary
Sunrises are Beautiful, but are they Productive?
You may not expect this opinion from a guy who has devoted his career to the concept of early rising, but … no, you don’t have to wake up early to be productive.
As much as I love to beat the drum over and over again about the immense value in dominating your day before breakfast, it’s not the only path to fulfillment, success, or ambitious achievement.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss what The 5 AM Miracle actually embodies, why you should consider all of your options, and why you should ignore my advice on occasion.

Episode Summary
What Exactly is Metabolism?
Health is often a wild west of confusion. Metabolism is frequently listed as something we need to improve, but there’s a common belief that we can’t change it.
I’m a huge fan of learning as much as I can about anything that can improve my life, and learning a little more about metabolism can have a huge impact on your health.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Angelo Poli, founder of MetPro, about what metabolism is, how it works, and how you can improve your personal metabolism.

Episode Summary
Get the most from your mornings.
There’s no reason to wake up early unless there’s a REALLY good reason to wake up early. As much as I love my 5:00 am wake up calls, most people do not (and I never did).
So, what changed? The answer is as simple as it gets: I found activities I LOVED and that provided real, tangible benefits in my life.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss my top 7 productivity strategies to complete before 7:00 am.

Episode Summary
A year is long enough to change your whole life.
Most advice on habits recommends you stick to your new rhythm for 21 days, or even 30 days, if you want to keep it for the long run.
Nope, that’s not going to cut it. Real habits need so much more life behind them to bring out the comprehensive beauty of lifelong change.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the 365-Day Challenge, and how you can transform just about anything with the right recipe of time and struggle.

Episode Summary
Addiction? Bad habit? What’s the difference?
For years I would brush off the idea that I had an addiction to anything of value, but that was and is a lie.
If you’re stuck with a bad habit that is causing real consequences in your life, it’s worth taking a deeper look to see exactly where you are in the spectrum of addiction.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss my history with various addictions and bad habits, and the key changes I have made to shift my life in a new, healthier, and more honest direction.

Episode Summary
Is it really that simple? Yes.
All you need is a goal to clarify your next actions and achieve your next breakthrough.
Goals have tremendous power, which is why it’s so surprising so few people have set intentional goals. If want to take your life and work to the next level, goals are always the answer.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Jon Acuff about his new book, All it Takes is a Goal.

Episode Summary
Why do you do big things?
Sometimes it’s obvious why we do things, but often it’s a mystery.
What if you have to do something you don’t want to do? What propels you forward? I’ve often found myself brainstorming pros and cons about a big decision merely because I haven’t yet tapped into the core driver of my next action.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I interview Kevin Miller, host of the Self-Helpful podcast and author of the book, What Drives You: How to Discover Your Unique Motivators and Accelerate Growth in Work in Life.

Episode Summary
From persistent problems to stellar solutions.

In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss making a mental pivot that can shift you away from the problems, challenges, and annoyances of life into the solutions, opportunities, and results we are all seeking.

How many #1s are on your to-do list?
Not everything matters. In fact, very little does.
How do you avoid the trap of doing things just to do things — to check boxes just to feel the endorphins from checking boxes?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to avoid the trap of busyness and begin a life of simple and profound achievement.

Indecision is a brutal (self-generating) obstacle.
Are you stuck right now between a rock and hard place? If so, what call will you make?

Episode Summary
Ready to start over? Again?
I can’t tell you how many times I have restarted my exercise routine. 100 times? 1000 times?
The thing about restarting is that we do it all the time — especially for those parts of life and work that don’t ever go away.
Your fitness is not something you solve once in your twenties and then reap the benefits of for decades.
If you stop working out … well, you lose what you gained faster than you’d likely prefer. And then — you guessed it — you have to start over.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to restart from zero and snowball your success into a manageable longterm solution.

Episode Summary
It’s not aging ... it's ...
I have interviewed Dr. Shivani Gupta a few times on my podcast, but this one was different.
Shivani challenged me to think about aging through the lens of inflammation, through the excuses we make about how we feel, and through the opportunities we have to rediscover our most vibrant selves now.
Inflammageing, an age-related increase in the levels of pro-inflammatory markers in blood and tissues, rests at the core of her message. We are inflamed, and we can fix it.
If your health is not where you want it to be now, this conversation might shift you into the right mindset to begin a new and healthier path forward.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas, about the wonders of aging the right way.

Episode Summary
Can you travel the world in a carry-on?
Yes, even if you have never done it before and really don’t want to try.
My wife Tessa and I recently spent a couple of weeks bouncing between countries in Europe with less luggage than we’ve ever traveled with before. We were both apprehensive to even try it, but it worked wonders for our experience.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I chat with my wife Tessa about travel tips, tricks, and productive packing to make the most of your next excursion.

Episode Summary
Are you ready to dominate your day before breakfast?
I launched The 5 AM Miracle Podcast on Monday, July 1, 2013. In podcasting years that makes me an old man, and I honestly never thought I’d be here today celebrating this milestone.
10 years of podcasting on one show is not unheard of — but it’s rare. When this show first launched I hoped I’d make it a month. Somehow I pulled off a decade, and I’m excited for many more to come.
The opportunities to share what I’ve learned, connect with thousands (maybe millions?) of people around the world, and spread the message of positive & productive personal development has radically shifted nearly everything about my life, business, and outlook on the future.
The episode this week is a look back at the past, but it’s also a hopeful view on the future.
Join me. After all, this podcast is for you.

Episode Summary
Your digital junk is exponentially worse than you think.
The problem with the cloud is that it’s in the cloud.
Remember the last time you looked into your junk drawer, spare closet, or garage and saw a huge mess? The good news is that all of those spaces are limited. The cloud is not.
If you want to organize your life, your digital world has to be part of that process.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to organize everything that matters with a particular focus on your digital junk drawer.

Episode Summary
What Do You Believe In?
Afew years after I graduated college, and a few years before I launched my podcast, I spent a lot of time listening to others.
A big chunk of my listening time was devoted to personal development audio programs, and one program stood out for a while: This I Believe from NPR.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss an essay I submitted to NPR’s show and how my belief in extremes has shaped my decision-making for nearly my entire life.

Episode Summary
Total confidence in what to do next is everything.
I have thought a lot about productivity over the years, and one question comes back again and again in a way I can’t ignore: what is my next action?
More importantly, am I confident in my decision about what comes next?
I can make to-do lists for days, but are they reflective of my actual highest priorities? Will these actions move me towards my goals? Or are they distractions?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss my updated Weekly Review process (version 4.0), and how I am now making smarter and more confident decisions about what do to next.

Find #1 and Double Down on It
There is always one thing that makes the biggest difference — one thing that, when amplified, produces more results than nearly everything else combined.

Episode Summary
The Only “Wrong” Choice is Not Choosing At All
Fear of failure is a monster — and it’s eating away at your potential every time you choose not to choose.
The classic paradox of being stuck between 2 meals, choosing neither, and starving to death is a perfect illustration of what it means to forgo making a decision because the fear of choosing the wrong option wins out.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss why doing nothing is far worse than choosing the “wrong” next decision.

Episode Summary
Plans are great … until they aren’t.
Mike Tyson understands what it means to have your well-laid-out plan squandered by the enemy (in his case literally being punched in the face).
How do you respond when your calendar becomes a naive list of fantasies? When your well-intentioned project morphs into a severely delayed set of ideas that will likely never come to fruition?
In other words, when life happens, how do you respond?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to respond proactively to life’s twists, turns, and punches in the mouth. We have more control than we realize, even in the moments when we feel like we have absolutely nothing to offer.

Episode Summary
Grouping similar tasks is more powerful than you believe.
Where is the most time lost on any given day?
It’s not a trick question. The answer is between tasks — both between different types of tasks and between similar ones. We lose time when we change our focus and mode of work.
Batching is the biggest productivity secret hiding in plain sight, and it’s time we took full advantage of it.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss unbalanced batching and the power of grouping similar tasks in order to save time and increase productivity nearly overnight.

Episode Summary
Living in the shadows is not living.
One of the most difficult personal growth challenges in existence is to live authentically to who you are without interference from others.
Living true to yourself means making decisions that will almost unequivocally upset people you know, love, and trust. It’s going to hurt — at least, that’s what we tend to assume.
My friend David Hooper (host of Build a Big Podcast) talks all the time about flying your flag, standing for something, and spreading a message based on who you are at the core.
It’s time for you to get out of the shadows and fly your flag. Are you ready?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the personal side of personal growth, how to fly your flag, and how to live true to the one life you have.

Episode Summary
Sunrises are beautiful, but are they productive?
You may not expect this opinion from a guy who has devoted his career to the concept of early rising, but … no, you don’t have to wake up early to be productive.
As much as I love to beat the drum over and over again about the immense value in dominating your day before breakfast, it’s not the only path to fulfillment, success, or ambitious achievement.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss what The 5 AM Miracle actually embodies, why you should consider all of your options, and why you should ignore my advice on occasion.

Episode Summary
Is it time to leave Twitter?
Social media has always had a place in my adult life, but should it?
I have taken breaks from social media apps and platforms in the past, but never for more than a few days at a time. Is that healthy? Is there a better way to connect, market, stay in touch, follow trends, or just simply know what’s going on in the world?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss life without less social media, and how to stop looking for something that isn’t there.

Episode Summary
Joy is the missing ingredient you've been looking for.
Push harder! That’s the common message most of us hear when we want to change our lives — but what if it’s wrong?
What if joy is the thing we need more than anything else? What if we can tap into our own source of joy and come out better for it?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with author Neal Samudre about his book, Start From Joy, and how we can all radically transform our lives when joy takes hold.

Episode Summary
January 1st is just a day like any other.
Change happens when you decide to change.
There is no special day. There is no Day 1 other than the day you choose to begin — and that does NOT have to wait for a new year, a new season, a new opportunity, or a new excuse to delay starting right now.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the value of change when you decide to change. True transformation is based on you reaching the breaking point of refusing to live as you have been living — nothing more, nothing less.

Episode Summary
Who doesn't love a good challenge? Most people.
The funny thing about challenging activities is that they are only truly daunting to those who never attempt them.
Think about that. Do you find difficult tasks super challenging after you have successfully completed them? Probably not — and for a good reason.
The challenge transformed from a perilous, fear-inducing hellscape into something radically new, beautiful, and possible.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how doing hard things (like working out twice a day) can reintroduce you to yourself in ways you never imagined.

Episode Summary
1% sounds like nothing … until it doesn’t.
High achievers love big progress, huge leaps forward, and massive success — but that’s hardly the whole story.
Tiny steps are everything. 1% growth is seemingly insignificant, but it adds up faster than you would imagine.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the 1% rule, and how you can achieve dramatic results with only incremental improvements.

Episode Summary
What does sustainable health look like?
As a guy who has pushed the envelope of his own health to both extremes (think overweight and stagnant all the way to running marathons every weekend), I know what it’s like to struggle to find a healthy balance.
Personal health boundaries are based on the idea that you know what it means for you to do too little, or too much. You have the self-awareness to make adjustments when you feel your mind, body, and soul reaching unhealthy levels of performance (or a lack thereof).
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with personal trainer Ted Ryce about setting boundaries that actually help you reach the goals you set for yourself.

Episode Summary
What if you didn't have to think about it?
The key to any great habit is turning your brain off.
Sure, you’ll need to think upfront to build the system, but the beauty kicks in when the system takes over and you just sit back and reap the benefits.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how you can guarantee time for fitness, what it takes to workout consistently, and why your environment is the biggest factor in determining your results.

Episode Summary
Quick wins are tempting, but there’s a better way.
I have to admit that I LOVE quick wins. When I’m able to check off a bunch of tasks in a row to start my day, I feel revved up and ready to tackle so much more.
But, what if it’s a trap? What if checking many boxes is not as productive as checking the right boxes?
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss why doing the hard things first matters more than you can imagine. When you change the order of events in your day you will not only get more done, you will get what matters done every time.

Episode Summary
Discomfort is not pain — and the difference matters.
If you have spent any time with a sports coach, disciplined high achiever, or anyone who has sacrificed greatly for their success, you have likely heard that pain is required for growth.
That sentiment is only partially correct, and it causes more harm than good.
The reality is that growth often requires discomfort, not pain. Discomfort means you are actively stretching beyond your current level of comfort, ability, or area of familiarity.
Discomfort does NOT mean you have to arduously torture yourself to reach your next level of success.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how you can become comfortable with discomfort and how exponential growth can be achieved when you leverage your own willingness to step just outside your bubble.

Episode Summary
Are you unqualified?
Or do you just think you are?
Have you ever been tapped to do a job that felt beyond your skills or abilities?
Have you ever felt unprepared, unqualified, or that you were just faking it? Imposter Syndrome, the “collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success”, is a real thing and it may be holding you back more than you know.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I chat with my wife Tessa about Imposter Syndrome, how each of us has experienced it, and how we have each found our own methods around it.

Episode Summary
My favorite non-fiction author strikes again!
Your dreams require sacrifice, but not the kind you may be imagining.
I have spoken at length on my podcast about Steven Pressfield‘s non-fiction books, and his latest has joined the ranks of my favorites for one simple reason: I need to hear this message on repeat until the end of time.
What’s his message? Do your work. Sit in your chair and begin.
That’s it. Well, there’s a lot more to it than that, but we’ll start there.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss Steven Pressfield’s latest non-fiction book, Put Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants to Be, and how you can defeat both self-sabotage and procrastination.

Episode Summary
Why is it taking sooooooooooo long?
Success is a journey, but it doesn’t have to be a long one.
I recently saw an article from a serial entrepreneur who claimed to have launched a business from scratch and made over $1,000,000 in 9 months. Is it true? Maybe. Is something like this possible for you? Certainly.
We all have the potential to achieve enormous goals quickly, as long as we avoid distraction and move in a direct path towards what we want. It’s really not much more complicated than that — until normal human behavior kicks in.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss the fastest and most direct path to success, and why we tend to squander our own potential when given the chance.

You are just 1 big idea away from transformation.

Episode Summary
You are meant to do more.
I don’t know you, but if I had to guess I would say that you believe you have more to give, more to pursue, more to accomplish, and more to experience in your life.
But, there is something holding you back. There is something stopping you right now from making a different choice.
Let’s change that.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I talk about the role that fear plays in holding you back from your higher calling.

Episode Summary
Welcome to your news-free, personal growth zone.
I won’t say I hate the news, but I really do.
Many years ago I jumpstarted a personal growth journey through the lens of a few select authors and speakers who shared a common perspective: what you consume matters, and traditional news is just awful.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss why I never discuss current events on the show, and how consuming news in any form shapes your personal growth trajectory.

Episode Summary
Do we rise to the occasion when it matters most? Actually, no.
It’s a common misconception that we rise to the occasion when we are under stress or challenged to be our best.
What actually happens is that we fall to the level of our training, habits, and default behaviors. In other words, we act in accordance with our set point.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss what a set point is, how you can change yours, and what that means for your future ambitious goals.

Episode Summary
Quick! Don’t think. What would you do if you could do anything?
This was the question posed to me by one of my closest friends when I was in my mid-twenties.
My answer? Public speaker. I didn’t think — I just blurted it out. That’s what I wanted then, and it’s who I am today.
The picture above is one I snapped right before going on stage and hosting an awards ceremony earlier this summer. Afterwards, I was told repeatedly how my presence and presentation fit the event, and it sank in like never before — I was meant to do this.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I share 10 strategies to determine what you were meant to do. You are meant to bring greatness to something, and we’re going to figure it out together.

Tasty + Nutrient Dense = What’s Not to Love?

There is nothing I love more in the world of productivity than pure focus.
Sure, I love to cross finish lines and finish big projects — but on a daily basis I strive for focus in order to gain traction that is otherwise just an illusion.

1% sounds like nothing … until it doesn’t.

Episode Summary
What does it take to excel while working from home?
I began working from home 8 years ago (well before the pandemic) and I know a thing or two about what it means to be productive AND love getting things done outside a traditional office.
Yes, you need a checklist (especially if you control your entire calendar).
No, working from home is not super awesome all the time (and it’s not for everyone).
Yes, you can be productive while wearing whatever you want (but there’s a risk here).
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I share my checklist to optimize working from home, which includes gear, calendars, clothing, healthy food, and more!

Episode Summary
Do you know why you fail?
You fail because you don’t have the systems you need to guarantee your own success. You don’t have the guardrails, the focus, or the insight to know where you succumb to distraction, comparison, or predetermined defeat.
Yes, you are your own worst enemy — but you can change that.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to never fail again by building the 10 guardrails that can guarantee your success in any endeavor.

Episode Summary
Busy? Stressed? Overwhelmed? You need this.
The one thing busy people don’t like to do is slow down. It sounds counterproductive and like a waste of time when they could just keep moving.
The problem is that activity does not always equate to productivity.
Busyness and efficiency are not friends.
There is a better way.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to complete a weekly review, especially if you are an over-programmed high achiever who desperately needs a break.

Episode Summary
Being “well-rounded” is a bit of a curse.
I have been told countless times throughout my life that I am “well-rounded”, which sounds like a compliment – but it backfires if you’re not prepared for what it really means.
Success does not usually come from doing many things well.
Instead, most success originates from expertise, focus, and forgetting all about balance (at least as most people would describe it).
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss unbalanced success and how you can leverage it to your advantage.

Episode Summary
How does anyone ever do anything?
They show up.
You already know how this works because you have been there before countless times.
Whenever I begin a new habit, workout program, or project, there is only ever one goal in mind — just show up. Nothing more, nothing less. If I show up, I give the magic a chance to do its thing.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss why showing up is the only way to ever do anything.

Episode Summary
Does running before breakfast sound like torture?
I promise you, the exact opposite is true.
I know it sounds early (it is), and it sounds challenging (it can be), but running the trails at 5:00 am is where I fell in love with early mornings and it’s why I keep doing it today.
I don’t have a way to logically or emotionally appeal to you that this is worth trying, I’m simply telling you it is and it changed my life forever.
Convinced yet?
No?
Ok, well at least listen to the episode where I beg and plead for you to try it. 🙂
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss a dozen spectacular benefits of early morning cardio workouts, and why adopting this one habit can change your life forever.

Episode Summary
Who doesn't love a good challenge? Most people.
The funny thing about challenging activities is that they are only truly daunting to those who never attempt them.
Think about that. Do you find difficult tasks super challenging after you have successfully completed them? Probably not — and for a good reason.
The challenge transformed from a perilous, fear-inducing hellscape into something radically new, beautiful, and possible.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how doing hard things (like working out twice a day) can reintroduce you to yourself in ways you never imagined.

Episode Summary
Yes, you can be busy AND healthy.
There are some scenarios in life where we believe we have to make a choice that will cut off all other possibilities. We think we can’t have it all.
More often than not, that is true. However, allowing “being busy” to stand between us and our healthiest selves is a travesty. We can be healthy while pursuing our dreams, going to work everyday, and keeping up with our family and friends.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss 10 simple strategies to help you incorporate healthy habits into your already busy schedule.

Episode Summary
Living and working in piles of clutter is exhausting, stress-inducing, and counterproductive.
Imagine a clear desktop on your computer, a clean physical desktop in your office, and a place for everything. Clarity and simplicity is not only possible, it’s the ideal you should plan to achieve.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss my longstanding desktop zero policy and how it has revolutionized how I work and live each and every day.

Episode Summary
Start before you're ready (that means now).
It’s so common to postpone work for later, when later will never actually arrive. We need to move now, before we feel ready, because moving now is exactly how we feel ready.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss Steven Pressfield’s book, Do the Work, and how you and I both can get to work now on what matters now.

Episode Summary

In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss Steven Pressfield’s book, The War of Art, and how you can overcome the resistance that stands between you and your greatest achievements.

Episode Summary
Up is down and left is right ... sort of.
The true path to success for any endeavor is a winding road, but part of that journey is actively going in the wrong direction (or so it seems).
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how backward is forward and how experiencing the opposite of what you want is actually exactly what you need to get what you want.

Episode Summary
Imagine blocking out all the noise.
One of the reasons I have found it challenging to meditate consistently is that I often find myself in environments that make focus nearly impossible.
Recently, I spent a few sessions inside an infrared sauna, followed by a float tank — and it’s remarkable what a locked door can do for focus (not to mention self-care and your mental health).
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss float tanks, isolation, focus, meditation, and deep contemplation, and how we all have the ability to focus more than we realize.

Episode Summary
Feeling stuck? It's time for an adventure!
Whether we realize it or not, we need to be bad at things.
Let me rephrase that. We need new beginnings, new challenges, and new opportunities to expand our minds, our abilities, and our potential.
Being bad at things is just another way of saying we are new, we are learning, and we are willing to do what others are afraid to do: fail.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss why always being a curious beginner is the best path to getting unstuck, and launching your life and career into new worlds of possibility.

Episode Summary
Trick Question: What is distracting you right now?
Answer: It doesn’t matter because we are always distracted by something. However, knowing why you are distracted may solve more problems than you can imagine — and the answer lies in the space you are in right now.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how you can define your ideal focus environment, simplify your workspace, and get more done with less effort by simply changing your location.

Episode Summary
Yes, I am a highly-caffeinated, Type A guy. I am also a rule follower, box checker, and perfectionist.
I am the A+ student, leader (not follower), and guy who wants the best at all costs.
In the real world, all of this means that I am a highly stressed workaholic who doesn’t like to fail or look bad when I produce anything for public consumption. I want an all-star result on the first try, and that’s just not realistic.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how the “all-or-nothing” perspective is terribly flawed, and what most of us need most of the time is a willingness to start, fail, and start again.

Episode Summary
Why is everything so hard? Does it have to be?
I have talked about Greg McKeown and his first book, Essentialism, many times on my podcast because the core message spoke directly to me: I need to do what matters most.
But, often times what matters most is hard work, or it’s just hard to make the time to prioritize the priorities.
On The 5 AM Miracle Podcast this week I share a best of episode where I spoke with Greg McKeown about his latest book, Effortless, and how we can make it easier to get the things done that need to get done.

Episode Summary
What do you think about?
During the last few weeks I have been slowly plodding through an audiobook by Brian Tracy, who is one of the world’s most recognized experts in personal growth.
One of the lessons I learned years ago from Brian, and one that he repeats many times everywhere he goes, is that “you become what you think about most of the time.”
This mantra has been changing my life in numerous ways, and in this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how this mantra can change your life as well.

Episode Summary
What would it take for you to get great sleep?
The foundation of every great day begins with a great night’s sleep.
But, the opposite is also true: the inability to focus, execute, and feel your best is always tied to low-quality sleep.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Veronica Lee, the Founder and CEO of Remrise, about what it takes to improve our sleep and maintain great sleep hygiene for life.

Episode Summary
We’re Busy, But Isn’t That The Problem?
It’s one thing to acknowledge that you’re busy — it’s another to do something about it.
Most of us know we are doing too much, but if we don’t take the time to prune our responsibilities, we will forever be seeking success without ever being able to enjoy it.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Tanya Dalton, author of On Purpose, about what it takes to get unstuck, how to fix the problem of being too busy, and how we always have the power of choice in any situation.

Episode Summary
How Do You Know You’re Happy?
For some, happiness is fleeting. For others, it’s a constant battle to overcome.
When we choose to take a deep dive into happiness we often find there’s more to the story than a simple (and temporary) state of being.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Jenn Lim, author of Beyond Happiness, about what it means to achieve happiness, how we can stay true to our authentic selves (including the highs and lows), and how we can rediscover our purpose in turbulent times.

Episode Summary
Do You Feel Trapped in a Life of Your Own Making?
I know this feeling all too well.

Episode Summary
You are WAY more creative than you realize.
I used to believe that creativity was reserved for artists. I thought you had to be a painter, musician, or theoretical physicist to tap into true creativity.
Well, I was wrong on many fronts. Yes, artists are creative … and so is everyone else, including you.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Roger Firestien, author of Why Didn’t I Think Of That?, about the creative process and how we can apply it to solve just about any problem you can imagine.

Episode Summary
The Opposite of Getting Stuck is Taking Action
Whenever I find myself stuck, I know that I need two things: a wake up call and a new set of habits to guarantee long-term success.
Recently, I found myself stuck between projects, stuck in my health goals, and stuck in my overall mood about getting things done. The way forward was a lifestyle shift that is based on what I chose to do (and choose not to do) everyday.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss 5 habits I eliminated and 5 new healthy habits that replaced them.

Does working less sound impossible? It’s not.

Life has a tendency to get busier. It’s easy to add more, and taking time off has to be intentional, pre-planned, and filled with the few things that genuinely breathe life back into you.

Episode Summary
Nearly a year ago I published an episode of my podcast where I explained in great detail why I was breaking up with Evernote after a decade of intense loyalty.
In just the last few weeks I settled upon my replacement, but my productivity system has evolved to align to a new way of working that significantly reduces the need for a tool like Evernote at all.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I outline a new and simpler method to organize what matters while easily and intelligently archiving everything else.

2 weeks ago I took a deep dive into my garage — and it was brutal.
As organized as I am, I’m also a real person who slowly collects “stuff” over time, and doesn’t always have a plan for every single item.

It’s time to roll up your sleeves, grab a few empty boxes, and get ready to organize your junk amazing material possessions like never before. 🙂
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss spring cleaning as a means to dramatically improve productivity, clarity, and peace of mind.

A Marathon is Actually 40,000 Individual Steps
Isn’t that surprising? Running 26.2 miles roughly equates to putting one foot in front of the other 40,000 times.
As much as we value crossing a finish line, it’s the tiny details that make the prize possible.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss tiny habits, but more importantly, I share how just getting started with tiny steps is the true key to big goal achievement.

James Sebastiano Jr. and Mark Waters
A materially successful young man, James Sebastiano Jr., riddled with anxiety, embarks on a world-wide journey of self-inquiry.
From the streets of NY, to the stillness of the Ganges, and deep into the jungles of Peru, he immerses himself in meditation, self-inquiry, and plant medicine to find the root cause of the problem and learn how to finally find freedom from his crippling anxiety.
Along the way, he finds answers to why a person who seemingly has it all can continue to suffer from debilitating panic attacks, recognizing the beauty and power that lies within each of us, if we are willing to go there
Mark Waters is a film director, cinematographer, editor, colorist and photographer driven by his love for the natural world.
Over the past 10 years he has travelled to around 50 countries to explore life as it naturally appears to be.

Episode Summary
The Core of Your Best Health is Likely in Your Gut
I have been a vegan for over 10 years, yet I have never truly prioritized gut health in an intentional way.
Feeling your best is usually about energy and immunity, two things that are significantly enhanced by probiotics, a stellar plant-based diet, and a fit lifestyle.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Pulp Culture founders Brendan Brazier and Mark McTavish about how you can enhance your diet and fitness in ways you likely never would have imagined.

.
Brendan Brazier, a devout vegan since the age of 14, is the formulator and cofounder of Vega (an industry leader in plant based nutrition). He is also the bestselling author of the Thrive book series, as well as Editor-in-Chief of Alive Magazine. As a former professional Ironman triathlete and two-time Canadian 50km Ultra Marathon champion, Brendan is regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities on plant-based performance nutrition.
Mark McTavish followed his passion and built a successful career in the commercial fitness business. With a focus on product design and brand development, Mark spent nearly a decade working with fitness professionals across North America. Mark’s career path came full circle when he realized his dream to craft the healthiest alcoholic beverages on the planet; a convergence of two industries that had previously seemed to be an impossible pairing.

In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I share my tips, strategies, and highly effective rationale for choosing and sticking with my plant-based (vegan) diet for the last 10 years.
You don’t have to be a vegan to benefit from this episode — it’s more about habits than tofu, I promise!

Today, Elizabeth is the owner of Primal Potential. Through her platform of podcasts, coaching, and live events, she has fueled her deepest struggles into a burning passion to help people create transformations and live more fulfilled lives.

John O’Leary
In 1987, John O’Leary was a curious nine-year-old boy. Playing with fire and gasoline, John created a massive explosion in his home and was burned on 100% of his body. He was given a 1% chance to live.
This epic story of survival was first showcased in his parents’ book, Overwhelming Odds, in 2006. Originally printing 200 copies for friends and family, his parents have sold 70,000 copies, most in back-of-room sales at John’s speaking events. It was this book that first invited John to embrace his miraculous recovery and share it with the world.
John inspires nearly 75,000 people at 100+ events each year. He speaks to companies and organizations across industries, such as: sales, healthcare, business, safety, marketing, financial services, faith, education and insurance.
Consistently described as “the best speaker we’ve ever had,” John receives nearly 100% of his engagements from referrals. His schedule is a testament to the power of his message and who he is as an individual. His emotional story-telling, unexpected humor, and authenticity make each of his presentations truly transformational.
John’s first book, On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life, was an instant #1 National Bestseller; 120,000 copies have sold and it has been translated into 12 languages. John’s Live Inspired Podcast is a top 20 for business on iTunes & Inc. Magazine. His online community is 200,000 strong.
John considers his greatest success to be his marriage to his wife Beth, their four children and his relationships with friends and family.

278 - When we get swamped with work it’s so common to want to dump whatever we can onto the shoulders of someone else.
But, what if there was another way? What if delegation wasn’t the first or best choice?
Most of the people I have coached, and most of the people I see struggling, fall into the trap of delegating for all the wrong reasons.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I dispel the myths and break down what it truly means to lighten our workload (while keeping our budgets intact).

Yep, I just had back surgery.
I have preached for years about the importance of health as it relates to getting things done, but I have never personally experienced such a jolting wake-up call with my own well-being (and ability to do anything on my own) as I have in the last few months.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I unpack A LOT of my backstory (pun intended) pertaining to a history of sciatic nerve pinches that literally crippled me in more ways than one.
That’s My Spine
And yes, the picture above is an X-ray taken of my spine just a few weeks ago.
This is the X-ray that led to the MRI in the ER, that led to the surgical removal of part of my spine.
It’s been an intense few months, and my story will hopefully help you know when to make the right call to prioritize your personal health over absolutely everything else.

Are you ready to restructure your life and get more done? Today I am announcing the official launch of The 5 AM Blueprint 30-Day Action Plan, which is a comprehensive program that sends action items straight to your inbox every day for 30 days.
The 5 AM Miracle Podcast Subscribe in iTunes
If you have read my book, The 5 AM Miracle, you are likely very familiar with my 7-step system called The 5 AM Blueprint. (Don't worry, you don't have to read the book to buy the Blueprint or get incredible value out of it.)
This 30-day action plan is a simple way to bring The 5 AM Blueprint to life. It provides daily action items to keep you on track to restructure your productivity systems (and healthy habits) in order to dominate your day before breakfast and accomplish your life's grandest goals!
Launch Ends Friday, January 15th at 11:59 pm PST
During this special launch period you will get access to the 30 days of actionable emails plus 2 FREE BONUSES.
The bonuses include a FREE PDF copy of my new book, The 5 AM Miracle, as well as a discount code to get 50% off my first upcoming webinar!
Now, check out more about what's included in this special offer . . .
What's Included
- 30 Days of Actionable Emails
The 5 AM Blueprint includes 30 days of actionable emails. I will send you one email a day for 30 days. Each email includes 2 simple actions for that day.
In reality, if you completed every action item during this 30-day plan you would be extraordinarily busy. The goal is to keep these action items top-of-mind as you restructure your daily routines, habits, and productivity systems.
It's possible that not all of the action items will apply to your life today, so you can take advantage on those "off days" to keep truckin' along on the rest of your plan.
Click here to learn more.
- BONUS: FREE PDF of My New Book, The 5 AM Miracle The 5 AM Blueprint 30-Day Action Plan provides the opportunity to dig in deep and take bold action. All of the action steps are based on the 7 steps of The 5 AM Blueprint:
Establishing your grandest goals. Implementing the Quarter System. Identifying and optimizing your anchor habits. Creating your ideal morning and evening routines. Adopting the best productivity strategies. Tracking your progress all along the way. Going pro with advanced techniques.
You don't have to read the book first! In case you are wondering, no, you don't have to read The 5 AM Miracle in order to get extreme value out of The 5 AM Blueprint.
However, I will say that the Blueprint will make a lot more sense if you have read the book, and it will provide context for why I make the recommendations that I do. If you would like to buy the paperback copy, you can do so on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
During this special launch period (ending January 15th at 11:59 pm PST) you will get a free PDF copy of the book.
Click here to learn more.
- BONUS: 50% OFF Discount Code for my First Webinar!
I am launching a series of webinars in 2016 and you can be one of the first to get hands-on training with me for only half the price!
I will provide you a discount code that you can use when the first webinar launches in just a few weeks.
Click here to learn more.

I don't know about you, but I get ideas at all hours of the day. When I have a new brilliant thought, I don't want to lose it. So, I have located the best mobile apps for recording ideas on-the-go.
Photo Credit: www.audio-luci-store.it via Compfight cc
The 5 AM Miracle Podcast Subscribe in iTunes Some of my best ideas come about when I am talking. Sure, I get great ideas when I'm writing down my thoughts too, but there is something magical about speaking that makes ideas come to life.
Also, as a guy who loves David Allen's Getting Things Done system, I find that getting ideas out of my head and into a trusted system is the best way to free up my brain for creative endeavors.
Top 5 Mobile Apps for Recording Audio Notes
NOTE: All of these mobile apps are available on iOS devices and there are very similar apps available on Android devices as well.
- Siri
Siri, the built-in voice assistant on iOS devices, may be the best solution for a few reasons. First, Siri is already built-in to your iPhone or iPad. Secondly, the hands-free nature of taking audio notes is hard to beat.
With Siri you can record a transcribed email or text message and send it wherever you'd like, all without using your hands in many scenarios. I love sending emails to my task manager, Nozbe, and to my note-taking application, Evernote. I describe this process in detail on my previous article:
A Hands-Free Method to Remember a Brilliant Idea On-the-Go.
For a true hands-free experience, you can just say, "Hey Siri", and record your message. For most iOS devices you need iOS 8 or higher and to be plugged into a power source to use this feature, but it is now available without being plugged in on iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
- Super Notes
If you are a college student and want to record your class lectures, or if you attend a lot of meetings and would rather capture the audio now and listen to it later, Super Notes may be your new best friend.
I find this app super handy for recording long-form audio and playing it back later. Plus you can take notes in the app while the recording is taking place. This makes it ideal during a speech or meeting when you would like to take notes and not miss a single word.
The free version of the app lets you take a few notes with full functionality, but you will want to buy the pro version if you intend to use this app in the long run.
- Dragon Dictation
Dragon Dictation is well-known as the best desktop app for dictating long form letters, emails, and even whole books. Their free mobile app is a solid dictation tool when used in the right context.
Based on my own usage and after reading many reviews, it appears that the best scenario for this mobile app is when you want to record and transcribe a series of short notes. This app is not designed for use in the car or for a hands-free situation, so using it at home or in the office is best.
- Say it & Mail it Recorder
The Say it & Mail it Recorder was my first mobile audio note-taker and I still find it very useful, though I have moved on to using Siri 99% of the time.
This app is great for recording your own voice and emailing yourself the recording. It doesn't provide transcription, so this app is best when you need to actually hear the recording.
I also used to record my notes while driving and then email myself in the car. Honestly, that's not the safest option because it's not totally hands-free, but it can work. This app is not free, but as of this writing it only costs $1.99.
- Evernote
The Evernote mobile app is incredibly powerful and adding an audio note to any note is very simple.
If you are on-the-go and want to add an audio note, simply open the note and press the microphone button. The recording is added and synced up to your account nearly instantly.
This free app is great for power users of Evernote who want to keep everything in one place.

Getting a guy like me to meditate is a hard sell. I'm not the type to sit still for too long.
However, despite my own apprehensions, and thoughts of beginning a fluffy or "new agey" habit, adopting a daily meditation practice may be one of the best things I have ever done for my sanity or productivity.
Photo Credit: James P. Mann via Compfight cc
The 5 AM Miracle Podcast Subscribe in iTunes I have admitted multiple times on my podcast that I have started and stopped meditating multiple times in my life.
Most recently, I was chatting with Broadway star Stephanie Gibson on episode 117 and she made a great argument for re-starting this on-again, off-again routine of mine.
I decided to do a little digging, start meditating yet again, and finally convince myself to get this habit to stick for good. Hopefully, you will find this as persuasive as I did.
7 Reasons to Meditate Every Day
In my research I found quite a bit of scientific data and even more anecdotal benefits of meditation. Since I'm not a medical doctor, and it's so easy to Google "benefits of meditation based on science," I will share seven reasons to meditate every day through the lens of an over-programmed productivity junkie.
If you're anything like me and you just need someone to tell you why you should stop doing your work on a Thursday afternoon to just sit on a couch with your eyes closed for 15 minutes, this is it.
- You Remember to Breathe
Most guided sessions of meditation, yoga, or even massage therapy begin with 3 deep breaths. For the longest time I associated this practice and breathing deeply with relaxation, and that's true.
However, as I have begun to meditate more I have caught myself in the middle of the day forgetting to breathe. Not that I pass out from lack of oxygen, but I notice my shallow breathing. I notice my stress levels and anxiety with a keener awareness than before.
Breathing is one of the most natural parts of life and yet putting a little intentionality behind it brings this common activity to a whole new level.
When I catch myself in a moment of high tension, I take just a few seconds to breathe deeply and return to my work with the oxygen my brain needs to tackle the task in front of me.
- You Connect the Dots When You Otherwise Couldn't
I am the kind of guy who likes to barrel through a hard task. I clench my fists and fight through the muck, assuming that more force will produce the result I want.
This strategy is successful some of the time, and works well with small challenges, but it only brings headaches and frustration when the challenges get tougher.
Meditation provides a moment of clarity, a break in the madness that lets your subconscious mind do the heavy lifting.
If you're a golfer or baseball player, you know how it feels when you relax and hit the ball on the sweet spot of your club. With minimal effort you can have extraordinary power. That's good meditation.
- The Good Ideas Float to the Surface
Like most people, I was under the impression that meditation was about clearing your mind of all your thoughts. Turns out, that's not quite it.
If you have ever meditated while taking a break from a tough task you know how it feels to have your mind flood with thoughts -- usually so many thoughts you don't know how to handle it.
But, after breathing deeply for a few minutes and slowing down your mind you notice fewer thoughts. Not zero thoughts, just fewer.
What has surprised me the most is that after a few more minutes I still have thoughts, but they are better thoughts. It's as though meditation is a filter that weeds out the nonsense and leaves behind ideas that matter.
Sometimes those ideas are actionable tasks, but most often they are just high-quality positive concepts that I can roll around in my mind and simmer for a few minutes.
After a while, meditation becomes a practice in letting things take all the time they need,
Be honest, how many post-it notes, to-do lists, and random pieces of paper are flying around your office right now? In this week's episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss how to rein in your daily chaos with one central system.

Smoothies have been a central element of my morning routine for over 2 years. In fact, my breakfast smoothie is one of the key reasons I have been able to keep pace and get more done as my life gets busier and the demands get tougher.
Photo Credit: skampy via Compfight cc
The 5 AM Miracle Podcast Subscribe in iTunes In the summer of 2013 my trusty Cuisinart Duet PowerBlend died on me and I was thrilled! I wasn't thrilled because I disliked this blender -- I was thrilled because I finally had an excuse to get a Vitamix!
I bought a Vitamix 5200 and immediately began making amazing smoothies every morning for breakfast and my whole world changed.
Ok, that sounds dramatic, but honestly, chugging a 64-ounce fruit smoothie from a Vitamix blender may be the absolute greatest way to begin your day.
7 Reasons to Drink a Morning Smoothie
I do realize that there are many options when it comes to your morning meal, but I'm a bit biased towards smoothies. Here's why.
- Packed with Nutrients
I don't know any better way to fill your body with Mother Nature's best than through a well-blended smoothie. Among all of the fruits and veggies available to you in the produce section of any grocery story, farmer's market, or fruit stand, you can pick just about anything and blend it to your heart's content.
Since I began drinking a smoothie for breakfast I have not been to the doctor for any illness. I have avoided common colds, the flu, and sinus infections -- all of which I used to get on an annual basis. This amazing reality gives me even more confidence to continue consuming the best blended food on the planet.
- Tastes Fantastic
Yes, you can easily make yourself super tasty smoothies and you SHOULD! The more you focus on taste the more likely you are to continue this amazing healthy habit.
I have talked quite a bit about green smoothies in the past, and most people are not convinced they want a salad for breakfast. The good news is that you don't have to go the distance and blend kale and chia seeds because fruit works just as well.
In fact, I would recommend you focus on nothing but tasty fruit until you have solidified your new morning breakfast routine. You can always get creative and add in leafy greens later.
- Tons of Energy
If you know me, you know energy is the most effective weapon in my productivity arsenal. Fruit smoothies and green smoothies alike both provide incredible energy through natural sugars that your body can put to use right away.
In combination with my morning liter of water and a double espresso, my morning smoothie rounds out a triple threat of energy, nutrition, and hydration.
- Pairs Well with Exercise
Working out early in the day can have huge benefits, but it can be tough to work in a breakfast that won't upset your stomach or make your workout feel sluggish. Smoothies are a perfect pair with running, strength training, or yoga.
I have found it best to drink a small amount of your smoothie, bust through a quick and intense workout, and then finish off the smoothie during your recovery period. In this way you won't feel pressured to drink all 64-ounces (2 liters) of your smoothie in one sitting.
- Easy to Make & Customize
When it comes to cooking or preparing food, I am super lazy. Mostly, I find that spending more time in the kitchen than I need to is extraordinarily frustrating when all I want to do is get back to my tasks for the day.
In less than 10 minutes you can blend together a large tasty smoothie and get back to your life without having to cleanup a huge mess later. Don't forget that you can blend just about any ingredients you want, which makes smoothies one of the most customizable meals in existence.
The more you focus on taste the more likely you are to continue this amazing healthy habit. - JEFF SANDERS

On many mornings I make 1-2 blenders worth of smoothies,

Connect on Social Media Facebook Group • Instagram • Twitter • LinkedIn Episode Summary Smoothies have been a central element of my morning routine for over 2 years. In fact, my breakfast smoothie is one of the key reasons I have been able to keep pace and get more done as my life gets busier and the demands get tougher. In the summer of 2013 my trusty Cuisinart Duet PowerBlend died on me and I was thrilled! I wasn't thrilled because I disliked this blender — I was thrilled because I finally had an excuse to get a Vitamix! I bought a Vitamix 5200 and immediately began making amazing smoothies every morning for breakfast and my whole world changed. Ok, that sounds dramatic, but honestly, chugging a 64-ounce fruit smoothie from a Vitamix blender may be the absolute greatest way to begin your day.

I wasn't born a runner, but the trails have a way of transforming even the most unlikely athletes. Surprisingly to me, last month the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) declared trail running an official sport. Validating an outdoor activity like trail running isn't life changing to most people, but it does mean something. There is a growing crowd of fanatics who love nothing more than to spend as much quality time as they can in nature, pouring their heart and souls into the dirt. From my experience, walking, hiking, running, or even just standing on a trail can become a powerful habit, one that is sure to help you dominate your day.

My website was promptly shutdown and the next 8 weeks spawned into more work outside of my natural strength zone than I could have ever imagined. In the seven years that I have been blogging and working with websites I have never been hacked, until now. I ended up paying a few companies hundreds of dollars to clean up the mess and return everything to normal – though the latter never actually happened. Over the course of the last two months I have also spent hundreds of hours restoring services, upgrading servers, writing code, troubleshooting acronyms that I don't understand, and trying desperately to learn whatever I had to in order to regain what I lost. Though getting hacked may sound rough, it was merely the tip of the iceberg — the instigator of the real work yet to come.

Sam interviews many Hollywood celebrities and as each of them open up about their personal stories of triumph and tragedy I can't help but notice one common and powerful similarity – they never had a backup plan. In fact, nearly every successful actor, director, or producer that Sam has brought onto his show started with nothing more than a fantasy to make it big in Hollywood. That's all they had. Many had very little money, zero connections, and nothing more than the determination to succeed without even considering what they would do if they failed. Pushing forward without a Plan B is undeniably scary, and that's the point.

If losing a few pounds is on your bucket list, get ready to kick that goal into action today! There are two stories here. The first began four years ago as a radical experiment with a new diet. The second began months earlier with a dog, a documentary, and a decision. Now, I have always thought of myself as a healthy guy. I was active in sports for years and my weight was never an issue. In fact, I actively tried to gain weight in high school. Thanks to an all-you-can-eat cafeteria in college (and one too many keg parties) I gained 30 pounds in my first semester. You read that right. I put on 30 pounds in just 3 short months. Fast forward to a few years after college and I still had those hefty beer calories following me around. I tried to justify the weight as “hidden muscle” but I wasn't fooling anyone but myself. When I lost 40 pounds a few years ago, I did so with simple choices. No pills — no frills — just good food and some quality time in the bathroom (more on that in a second).

I have been using this productivity strategy for years. Not only is it effective, it just may be one the smartest methods I have found to cut the clutter AND get more done. Why Zero? The concept of Inbox Zero is simple: process every email by the end of every day. Why Zero? Because it guarantees 100% effectiveness. Think of it this way, if you wanted a surefire system that you could trust and believe in, you would likely expect the system to be leak proof. In other words, you would want your trusted system to address every issue, without forgetting even a single detail. That is what Inbox Zero promises. No leaks. Nothing forgotten. Nothing overlooked.

The glue that holds everything together is this simple and powerful concept: dominate your day before breakfast. Three years ago when I was first beginning my own journey into early mornings I realized right away that there was a huge opportunity sitting right in front of me. After waking up at 5:00 a.m. on the first day, and heading out for a run, I concluded that this had to happen again. Within a few weeks I noticed a dramatic improvement in my daily productivity and my health. Though I didn't have a name for it yet, I was already putting the pieces together for my own 5 AM Miracle, which was made possible by optimizing the most important hours of the day.

How should you respond when you are left with no choice but to start over? Last year I upgraded the operating system on my iMac and my faithful Mac Mail application stopped working. I had been using Mac Mail to manage my daily email for 11 years, so I was a little crushed. I worked tirelessly trying to fix the issue and I was told a new computer was my best bet — not the solution I was looking for. Situations like these happen all the time. We find ourselves at a loss when something we need, trust, and even love dies, forcing us into a fresh start whether we like it or not.

The good news is that there are many solutions to this common problem and today I will share seven strategies to push through the fear and get to work. Over the last few years I have become a master of shallow productivity, getting a lot done while never doing anything that matters. I am an expert at cleaning my house, making tea, and getting to inbox zero over and over again. Unfortunately, my house doesn't need to be cleaned, I have already had more than enough tea, and my emails can wait. So then, what's holding me back? Fear. Plain and simple. Fear of getting started. Fear of doing something hard. Fear of missing out on the rest of my life while I focus exclusively on something that's not worthy of a facebook status update. Yeah, that last one really does cross my mind, a lot.

Playing an iPhone game made me more productive and it made boring work more fun — not because I played the game, but because of how the game is played. I'm not much of a gamer. I don't own any game consoles like the Xbox, PlayStation, or even a Wii. I also don't have any games installed on my phone. On occasion I will download a game just out of curiosity. That's how, 6 months ago, I got hooked on Temple Run and made a phenomenal discovery about addiction, goal achievement, and turning mundane tasks into fun adventures.

Being more productive is not about managing time. Instead, it's all about managing energy. Productivity is based on your life rhythm, staying balanced between crunching and releasing, working hard and playing hard, fully engaging and then completely detaching. We can't burn the candle at both ends and expect long-term achievement. The only viable lifestyle solution is one that allows as much down time as up time. In short, we need a freakin' break.

Much of that system involves the process of closing open loops in order to achieve improved mental clarity and focus, as well as a dramatic increase in productivity. Open loops consist of unfinished projects, nagging tasks to complete, and work that is held in a frustrating state of stagnation. If you want to actually get more done AND be able to invest more of your brain power and physical energy to your work, then closing your open loops is a must.

He was a late riser, typically finding himself crawling out of bed near noon. He also did his best work from 3:00 pm until 10:00 pm, not bright and early like I do. Honoré de Balzac, a French novelist and playwright, took The 5 AM Miracle to the extreme and typically woke up around 1:00 am. He did his best work until 3:00 pm with a short nap around 8 in the morning. How can highly successful people approach their day from near polar opposite directions? It appears that you can tap into your own creative genius by scheduling your life in nearly any way you desire.

With it, you have the power to catapult yourself into success through the wild pursuit of your own curiosity. Without it, your life and work become nothing more than a daily drudgery — a mediocre effort towards an outcome that has no personal value. In other words, enthusiasm matters a great deal. Charles Kingsley, the late historian, novelist, and priest, said that “We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.” I agree. In fact, having something to be enthusiastic about sits at the core of daily productivity and long-term goal achievement.

It can be tough to make time for your side hustle, like starting a new business or pursuing ambitious fitness endeavors. When compared to the rest of your grand life goals, side personal projects can easily be pushed aside and left for dead. Two days ago my wife Tessa and I closed on our first house! I took that picture above an hour after closing and I spent the next hour running through the halls of Home Depot imagining all of the amazing projects we were about to start. Between this blog, my podcast, my other new podcast, coaching, product development, and writing my new book I have been able to squeeze in just enough time for negotiating real estate contracts and family meetings to bring this house project to life.

Despite the fact that I have run marathons in the past, I still find it difficult to make time for the workouts I love. Over the last few years I have swung back and forth between two distinct seasons of my life, one where I prioritize exercise and one where I prioritize my career. It seems as though I can't ever have both at the same time. The reality is that I'm probably less likely to excel if I pursue both simultaneously, but I have found that it is possible to take care of myself while maintaining a busy schedule, and you can do the same.

As an entrepreneur who started his own business while working a full-time job, I know how tough this can be. Building a successful business is tough, even if you have all 168 hours every week to work on it. Taking into account a 40-hour a week job, a family, personal hobbies, personal health, social time, weekly appointments with doctors, churches, car repair shops, and walking your dog, it can be next to impossible to make time for a side business. But (and this is the big but) — it can be done. In fact it happens all the time and I plan to shed some light on this ambitious and worthwhile goal.

As the late Jim Rohn would have put it, “It's the challenge that makes the experience.” A month ago I signed my first book contract and my life has flipped upside down in more ways than one. As I discussed in one of my latest podcast episodes, last month was unreal in its complications and its simultaneous abundance of opportunities. We all want more, but in the same breathe we dread the moment it arrives because we have no idea how to respond. It's easy to make assumptions and predictions about our own future behavior, but when the tables turn and you get what you asked for . . . watch out. It's about to get real.

Focusing in this environment, or getting into my zone, is proving to be a bit challenging. Getting in the zone is a fine art, a dance, no doubt. There is a fine line between being driven by a deadline and panicking with a lack of time; between focusing on a key idea and getting distracted by your own creativity; between working alone in total solitude and being out in public at the whim of endless noise.

In fact, your brain can serve you in more ways than you could ever imagine if you take it to the brain gym. The phrase “use it or lose it” certainly applies to the world of neuroplasticity — a big word that simply means your brain can and does change. For many years brain researchers believed the brain was static, meaning that after a certain growth period the brain would simply stop developing or adapting in a significant way. Turns out, that was far from the truth. Your brain is constantly flexing its muscles, molding itself, and responding to new and challenging stimuli just like your biceps do during exercise. Now, I'm not a scientist, so I'm not going to dive into too much research or the biomechanics of brain development. For now, I'll focus on what you can do today to begin building a better brain, which can lead to dramatic improvements in your creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

I have been tracking my own accomplishments since 2007, when I graduated college, and the results have been eye-opening. I believe everyone (including you) should be tracking every accomplishment, personal and professional, big and small, massively influential and seemingly inconsequential. And yes, this picture above is me celebrating one of my successes. I may have been dancing at someone else's wedding, but I'll make any excuse I can to let go of my daily demands and just let loose. Why You Need to Track Every Accomplishment Tracking my own accomplishments has been extremely beneficial on many levels.

However, despite my own apprehensions, and thoughts of beginning a fluffy or “new agey” habit, adopting a daily meditation practice may be one of the best things I have ever done for my sanity or productivity. I have admitted multiple times on my podcast that I have started and stopped meditating multiple times in my life. Most recently, I was chatting with Broadway star Stephanie Gibson on episode 117 and she made a great argument for re-starting this on-again, off-again routine of mine. I decided to do a little digging, start meditating yet again, and finally convince myself to get this habit to stick for good. Hopefully, you will find this as persuasive as I did.

In this week's episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss what it takes to optimize an accountability partnership to achieve your goals.

We “meet” via Skype every Friday morning for a 30-minute video chat and discuss many great topics to keep both of us on track to achieve our goals. I was really hesitant to begin this process because I really thought I didn't need anyone to hold me accountable to my own goals. Well, I was wrong.

This week's episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast features an interview with Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning. Hal has quite a devastating life story, which will likely blow your mind. But his advice for optimizing your morning routine may be even better. We discuss why Hal radically changed his life on multiple occasions and how he is getting really great results today. Behind the Scenes / Tip of the Week Since today's interview is longer than normal I decided to postpone the “Behind the Scenes” and “Tip of the Week” segments until next week. My previous survey revealed that most of my listeners prefer episodes that are less than an hour. This week's episode is just over an hour, but the interview is absolutely amazing because Hal Elrod is a rock star! Enjoy! Featured Content In this week's episode, I interview Hal Elrod and we discuss:How he literally died for 6 minutes and then came back to life.How the 5-minute rule can help you quickly overcame any tough situation.How to begin an ideal day with the most effective strategies.
