Brad Young CHANGE 2025

We are living inside the most sophisticated disinformation machine ever built. Every platform you scroll is optimized for one thing, and it's not truth. It's engagement. And nothing engages a human brain faster than confident, simple, emotionally charged nonsense. Nuance doesn't trend. It's complicated and we're still studying it doesn't get you a single share. But here's the one truth THEY don't...

I told you last time you didn't have a knowledge problem. You had a doing problem. And some of you actually listened. Some of you picked your one thing and you did it, and I'm proud of you, genuinely. But most of you? Most of you nodded along, felt something in your chest, and then went right back to the exact same life, just with a new excuse to explain why this time doesn't count either. So we'r...

Let me ask you something, and I want you to be honest, because there's nobody in this room but you and me. How many times have you started? How many Mondays? How many "new me" declarations? How many gym memberships, journals, plans, and promises you made with your whole heart and then quietly abandoned three days later? Count them. Really count them. That number right there, that graveyard of good...

Every hour you spend raging over the latest political headline is an hour you didn't spend building your future. That's the trap, and most of us walk right into it. In this episode of The CHANGE 2025 Podcast, we expose how political tribalism hijacks your focus, shrinks your thinking, and quietly drains your bank account. When your identity belongs to a team, you stop asking hard questions. You st...

Two researchers, Dunning and Kruger, ran a study. And what they found will make the hair on your neck stand up. The people who were the worst at something, the absolute bottom of the barrel, were the most confident that they were great at it. Read that again. The dumbest people in the room were the surest of themselves. And the people who actually knew their stuff? They were humble. They doubted t...

This episode, Cable News Makes You Dumber, is not about taking sides. It is about taking responsibility. It is about understanding how the constant stream of outrage, fear, conflict, and emotional manipulation rewires your brain without your permission. It is about recognizing that the loudest voices in your life are often the ones that benefit the most from keeping you confused, angry, and distra...

This episode, Goals That Stick, is about getting brutally honest about what it takes to set goals that survive real life. Because in Two Thousand Twenty Five, ambition is everywhere. Everyone wants more. More money. More meaning. More freedom. More discipline. More impact. But wanting more does not create more. What creates more is structure. What creates more is clarity. What creates more is alig...

Today we are stepping into one of the most important pillars of the entire CHANGE system. Communication. And I do not mean public speaking. I do not mean corporate messaging. I do not mean carefully crafted statements. I mean the way you talk to people in real life. The way you talk to yourself. The way you express truth. The way you handle conflict. The way you set boundaries. The way you show up...

This episode, Mindset Reset, is about rewiring the way you interpret adversity so it becomes a catalyst instead of a cage. Because in 2025, setbacks aren’t rare they’re constant. Plans fall apart. Opportunities shift. People disappoint you. Life throws curveballs you didn’t ask for and didn’t prepare for. And most people respond by shutting down, spiraling, or losing momentum. But the CHANGE frame...

This episode, Rewire Your Day, is about taking the CHANGE framework which is Communication, Habits, Attitude, Network, Goals, and Education and applying it directly to the rhythm of your daily life. Not in theory. Not someday. Today. Most people today are living in reaction mode. Their day is shaped by interruptions, impulses, and whatever demands show up first. They communicate without intention....

Right now, while you're hearing my voice, your phone is buzzing. Something is lighting up. Some notification, some ping, some little red dot begging for your attention. And you know what? You're probably fighting the urge to look at it right now. That's exactly the problem.

I know that pull — the late‑night walk to the kitchen, the afternoon crash that whispers for sugar, the cycle of promises made and promises broken. I’ve felt the frustration of starting strong, only to watch myself slip back into the same patterns. And for a long time, I blamed willpower. But the truth is harsher and more liberating: this isn’t weakness. It’s addiction. Food addiction — especially...

My energy is the engine behind everything I build — my ambition, my creativity, my discipline, my outlook. And yet, I’ve watched it get drained by the people around me more times than I can count. I’ve walked away from conversations feeling smaller, discouraged, or exhausted, wondering how a five‑minute interaction could derail an entire day. If you’ve felt that, you’re not alone. Protecting your...

I’ve made the promise before — standing in front of the mirror, fired up, convinced that this was the year everything would change. The diet would stick. The workouts would be consistent. The discipline would finally hold. And then, weeks later, the motivation faded, life got loud, and I found myself right back at the starting line. But the problem was never my desire. It was my system. Transformi...

We’re living in an era where information doesn’t just surround us — it hunts us. Every scroll, every notification, every headline is engineered to grab attention, trigger emotion, and pull us into someone else’s narrative. Some of it’s useful. Some of it’s harmless. But a growing amount is crafted to mislead, manipulate, or overwhelm. This is the modern battlefield: separating truth from noise. Mo...

Imagine an education system built not around memorizing facts, but around shaping futures. A system where every student walks out not just knowing things, but becoming someone — a clear communicator, a resilient thinker, a person with a vision and the confidence to pursue it. That’s the transformation I’m exploring today. For decades, we’ve treated test scores as the ultimate measure of success. B...

Have you ever felt that unmistakable pull to do something more — not just to improve your career, your status, or your bank account, but to leave a mark on the world itself? I feel that pull constantly. It’s a quiet, persistent signal inside me, a reminder that I’m meant to contribute, to matter, to shape something bigger and more lasting than my own timeline. I look around and see the world’s cha...

Difficult people test your patience, your professionalism, and your emotional stability—but they also reveal where your communication habits, mindset, and boundaries need strengthening. In the CHANGE framework, navigating these interactions isn’t about reacting to someone else’s chaos. It’s about building a foundation so solid that their behavior can’t pull you off center. This expanded episode re...

Rebuilding your identity after breaking free isn’t about starting from zero — it’s about constructing a version of yourself that can actually carry the weight of the life you want. This episode walks through the CHANGE framework as a blueprint for that reconstruction, showing how Communication, Habits, Attitude, Network, Goals, and Education become the structural beams of a self you don’t have to...

Change isn’t hard — inconsistent change is hard. In Change That Sticks , Brad breaks down why most transformations collapse after the first burst of motivation and how high performers build change that actually lasts. This episode dives into the six‑step framework that locks new behaviors into your identity instead of letting them fade into old habits. Brad explores the mechanics behind commitment...

Today we are looking at How to Use CHANGE to Overcome Personal Chaos. If you're struggling to come up with an answer, you're not alone. And today, we are going to talk about why that is, what it's doing to you, and most importantly, what you can do about it. We're going to use every letter of CHANGE — Communication, Habits, Attitude, Network, Goals, and Education — to build you a real plan. A plan...

Let us begin with an honest conversation about why most goals fail. Because I think understanding the failure patterns is the first step toward building a goal-setting practice that is genuinely different, more durable, and more effective. I have spent years studying this, thinking about it, and working through it in my own life — and there are a few patterns I see consistently. The first failure...

Research has consistently shown that a significant portion of professional opportunities — new jobs, promotions, partnerships, clients, collaborations — never get publicly posted or advertised. They move through conversations. They travel through relationships. Someone mentions your name in a meeting. A colleague recommends you for a project. A contact at a company you have been watching reaches o...

In this episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood success factors in both career and personal growth — your attitude. Not the forced smile kind of positivity, and not the ignore-your-problems kind of optimism. The real, grounded, practiced mindset that helps you bounce back faster, see opportunities others miss, and show up as the kind of person other people want to work with and be around....

How do you build a real connection through a screen? In this episode, we dig into what it truly means to communicate with intention and authenticity in a world where most of our conversations happen digitally. Whether you are on a video call, sending a message in a work chat, or trying to grow your professional network online, the way you show up matters more than ever. This episode walks you thro...
