In this Playbook Radio episode, I talk about how thoughts reproduce after their own kind, the same way Scripture describes seeds and plants reproducing.

Using my experience traveling in Warsaw and a Spanish class rule from high school, I illustrate how imm...

In this episode, I dig into Neville Goddard’s idea of “living from the end” — mentally stepping into the reality of your goal before it shows up physically. Instead of getting stuck on how much something will cost, how long it’ll take, or whether you’ll even get the chance, I talk about why it’s more powerful to just live as if you’re already there. I share the example of pre-med students wearing...

I talk about the NBA Champion New York Knicks and what happens when competitors who are locked in meet more talented opponents who aren’t as focused.

Your mind takes you up or down—you...

In this episode, I reveal the powerful psychology behind Pat Riley's 2006 NBA Finals strategy that led the underdog Miami Heat to victory over the favored Dallas Mavericks.
