Optimizing my diet for energy and longevity has been a huge passion of mine for over 20 years now. And yet, I was diagnosed with cancer. So, what did I learn from what I did right and what I could have done better? Today, I want to share my journey with you and some simple str...

Procrastination is something we all struggle with, and it prevents us from achieving our goals and dreams. If you're a human being, I know you can relate! We all put off things we know we need to do, no matter how important they are. In today's episode, I want to talk to you about four (4) of the primary reasons we procrastinate and propose four (4) solutions to these common challenges we all face...

How consistent are you when it comes to doing what you need to do to achieve your goals? Be honest with yourself!  If you feel like you're not as consistent as you want or need to be, that's okay. Consistency is something even high achievers struggle to maintain, and there's nothing wrong with needing help in this area.  In today's episode, inspired by a survey I sent to the Miracle Morning commun...

If you want to change your life, you must change what you focus on. An affirmation is simply intentionally designed language for the purpose of directing your focus toward something you aspire to change or embody in your life. In today's episode, I'm going to share my latest affirmations with you. If you've followed me for a while, you probably know that I truly believe affirmations—when done corr...

If you've been paying attention to the news lately, you know that the cost of pretty much everything is on the rise. Food, housing, gas, utilities, and other goods rose by 9.1% over the past 12 months—a 40-year high! Most people can barely sustain the life that they have, let alone make enough money to live the life of their dreams. And while it's natural to feel scared during these times, I want...

I recently came across an eye-opening, insightful passage by an unknown author. In it, the writer talked about what purpose really is in a way I had never quite heard before. I shared it across social media and people expressed that it really resonated with them. So, today I want to share that passage with you. Then, I want to help you explore different ways to look at your purpose in life. You'll...

How does it make you feel when people you know—whether it's your family, friends, co-workers, or acquaintances on social media—have opposing views on topics that are important to you? I recently made a post on social media that prompted a lot of critical feedback, and those comments inspired today's episode. Having disagreements with coworkers, clients, friends, and especially family members can b...

Today's episode was inspired by a message I received from a listener. They told me that they'd made some bad choices in the past, don't trust themselves anymore, and asked if I would do an episode on how we can develop our self-confidence, or get it back when we've lost it.  The reality is, even very confident people struggle with self-confidence at times, or in certain areas of their life. So, ho...

Underneath all the ways you identify yourself—your name, age, body, race, profession, attributes, and accomplishments—at your very core, who are you?  This is the question that we are exploring in depth today. The simple answer is: you are pure consciousness. And you have the power to elevate your consciousness, be more of who you truly are, and change how you experience every moment of your life....

Sometimes "How's life?" can be one of the most challenging questions to give a straight answer to. It's like, Uhh, which part of life are you referring to? When life is difficult, are you able to stay on track, keep sight of your goals, and keep your priorities in order? Or do all the things that are bringing you down leave you feeling exhausted, stressed out, and discouraged? It's easy to feel li...

If you were to lose half or more of your income in the next few months, what would you do? I ask you this question because that's exactly what happened to me during the Great Recession of 2008, and many financial experts are forecasting that the next recession could be right around the corner. Today, I want to share with you the four (4) things I did in 2008 to turn my financial situation around a...

Earlier this year, we talked about how to prepare yourself "logistically" for the challenges that might be on the horizon, such as the likelihood of a major recession, and supply chain issues that are causing shortages of everything from baby formula to microchips to paper, and most concerning - the coming food shortages that many have been anticipating.  But no matter how much logistical preparat...

If you are married and have kids, today's episode is for you. In what has become a bit of an annual Father's Day tradition, I'm excited to welcome my good friend Jon Vroman back to the podcast to explore these topics, although through a lens that applies to anyone who is married and has kids. Jon is the founder of Front Row Dads, a brotherhood of 300+ men who are actively committed to leveling up...

Are there areas of your life that you'd like to have a significant breakthrough in, such your business, your career, your health, your income, an important relationship, a challenge you're facing, or your overall happiness and emotional well-being? If you answered "yes" (and I'm assuming you did), do you have a process, a formula, or a system in place that enables you to intentionally and consiste...

If I were to ask you what your #1 priority in life is, how would you respond? Would the answer be clearly defined, and do your day-to-day actions align with what you say is most important to you? It seems that far too many of us don't really think about this, as we're focused on just getting through another day. Or, there's a massive disconnect between what we say and what we do . And BTW, I've de...

Outer freedom gives you the ability to create the circumstances that you want for your life. Inner freedom allows you to enjoy your life, regardless of the circumstances. These concepts exist in an inherent conflict with one another. When we pursue outer freedom, there's a part of us that feels like our life could be better, and when we focus on our inner freedom, part of us celebrates the fact th...

Most of us don't like to admit that we worry about what other people think of us, but it's definitely something I've struggled with. Have you ever stopped to consider the impact that worrying what others think has on you, such as causing stress, perpetuating insecurity, and hurting your self-confidence? How nice would it be to go through life without being deterred by anyone else's opinion of you?...

How much time do you spend in nature compared to how much time you spend indoors, staring at a screen? I recently realized that my screen-to-nature ratio was way out of balance, and so I decided to do something about it. In today's podcast episode, I'm inviting you to take two simple actions in the next 24 hours—one of which I've been doing for years to naturally heal my body, and another that has...

What does it mean to move from emotional reactivity to Emotional Enlightenment? How do you go from unconsciously allowing outside forces to determine your emotional state to consciously choosing which emotion best serves you in any given moment or situation? For over 20 years, this has been an area of focus for me. I've learned how to accept what I can't change, to experience painful emotions in a...

Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. We all have an "ideal," a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we're in "the GAP." However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we're in "the GAIN." Today's guest, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, is one of my all-time favorite authors....

If you've ever wanted to write a book, whether that's to increase your income, to positively impact people's lives, grow your business, or leave a legacy—even if you aren't sure what to write about or don't consider yourself to be a good writer—you won't want to miss today's podcast! You may have heard me say this before, but writing and self-publishing a book ( The Miracle Morning ) was one of th...

Michael O'Brien's last bad day was July 11 th , 2001. Riding his bike in New Mexico, he was hit head on by an SUV traveling 40 miles per hour and left crippled on the side of the road.  "I remember the sound of me hitting his grill… the thud I made as I crashed onto the asphalt below, and the screech of his brakes." Wanting to make the best of the situation, Michael promised himself that if he sur...

If you're someone who meditates, your practice probably entails taking 10-20 minutes out of your busy day to sit in silence. Does that time give you a sense of peace, calm, and clarity? Most likely—for those 20 minutes. But what happens when you end your meditation? Do you continue to go through your day with those same levels of peace, calm, and clarity? Or do you become reactive to the outside f...

From time to time, we all tend to settle for less than we truly want and are capable of, at least in some areas of our life. Today we're going to explore how to identify which areas you're settling in, what's causing you to settle, and then commit to taking simple actions that will move you forward and set a course for a Level 10 life. About six months ago, as I was journaling, I realized that I w...

What if you could be completely in control of what you think, how you feel, and what you do? I mean, wouldn't that kind of be the ultimate superpower!? Consider that you do have that power. When you change your perspective, it changes the way you think, the way you feel, and the actions you take, which enables you to change your life. Thus, the key to changing your life begins with changing your p...
