The ONE Thing

Today we are getting raw and vulnerable with all of you. In our conversations with all of you, we've learned that many of you are making excuses for your results – and in reality, the ONE thing you're failing to do is look in the mirror and accept accountability.  JT McCormick had an unfortunate childhood – it's hard for many of us to fathom growing up in his shoes – but in spite of his tumultuous...

We spend 25% of our life, if not more, at work – and many of our workplaces are broken; we lack fulfillment.   We lack control, we lack clarity on where we are going, and too many of us don't feel like we're waking up every day to trade our lives for something of value. If that's a problem for you, you're in the right place.   Today's guest is going to help you get clarity on ONE thing that will h...

Do you struggle with being present?   We talk a lot about achieving extraordinary results, setting goals, and gaining clarity on your priorities.... but one thing that we don't often talk about as much is mastering our mindset. So many of us are constantly thinking about the next thing that we have to do or something that's already happened, and as a result, we're never really in the moment.   If...

Do you talk to the people you care about, especially if you’re a parent, about what their goals are and how they can achieve them?   In episode 117, we heard the story of Holli and Cade McCray, a mother and son who started living The ONE Thing together. In this episode, we're talking to another mother-and-son duo: Nicole and Cooper Hefferman.   Cooper is now living his ONE thing, using principles...

You bring a lot of intention, energy, and focus to your professional world – are you bringing that same focus to your relationships at home?   When we don't plan healthy habits in our relationships – especially our romantic relationships – things tend to fall apart as life happens, and that starts to spill over to every other aspect of our lives.   With over 15 years of experiencing helping couple...

Do you dream of building something BIG?   Today we’re sharing the story of two young men with a dream, Cole Zucker and Guillaume Vidal, who are disrupting the lighting industry with their new business, Green Creative Lighting.

As parents, we are constantly asking ourselves the same question: am I doing a good job? We are responsible for helping a child grow into an adult that will, hopefully, make a massive positive impact in the world – so what will happen if we teach our children the importance of forming habits and focusing on their most important work first? Today we are going to find out. Holli and Cade McCray are...

When your ONE thing is your children, you always have more than one thing going on at any given moment, and it never feels like you're in control of your time.   While many listeners have a strong professional focus, we know that a number of you already have the hardest job in the world: being a stay-at-home parent. This show isn't about featuring big names; it's about showing what it looks like w...

Why are you doing what you are doing? The ONE Thing is about teaching the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results, but many of us fail to ask ourselves that simple question. For many of us, we do what we do to create moments that matter with the people that matter... but, too often, we lose sight of these relationships. We are dedicating the entire month of February, in our Living Y...

Life offers so much – but time is limited, so every day you have to wake up and make choices.   Unfortunately, many of us choose to try to do it all. We have massive ambitions and take massive action but, at the end of the day, we don't feel like we actually got anything done.   Instead of trying to go wide, we have the opportunity to go deep; to be selective about what we choose to learn, have, a...

When in your life were you trained how to communicate with the people who matter most to you?   Many of us have never received this kind of training or received it far too late in life – yet, almost all of us have experienced some kind of conflict in our long-term relationships (whether that be with a significant other, business partner, boss, or employee).   That's why we're sharing this conversa...

Gary Keller once said that the definition of a wealthy person is someone who has the passive income to fund their life's purpose.   Based on that definition, we have to do two things to live a wealthy life: find our purpose, and then build a business that can fund it passively.   Does building that kind of business sound far-fetched? Well, Joseph Gozlan joins us today to show you why it's not. Thi...

After reading The ONE Thing, have you struggled to prioritize and implement it? You're not alone. One of the most common concerns we hear from people who have read the book is that they love the idea, but they struggle to find their ONE thing, and then do it before anything else. Today we're sharing a wake-up call: the incredible story of Tammy Verduzco, who found her ONE thing and then took actio...

If you ask Gary Keller what inspired him to write The ONE Thing, he will tell you that it's about living a life of no regret. How can we make the most out of our limited time here on Earth, and live a life that is extraordinary?   We believe that living a life without regret really comes down to making moments that matter.   Today's guest, Jon Vroman, was inspired by this idea. He founded the Fron...

We don't just want to pump you up with this podcast – we want to ask the tough questions so that you can look in the mirror and be more accountable for your results. We think this is why people who live The ONE Thing achieve so much.   Today we're sharing a conversation with one of you, Kathy Ver Eecke, who was taking massive action and getting things done... until life got in the way. If you put...

The beginning of a new year is a perfect time to look at your business and your life and ask yourself a simple question: what do I want to do differently?   Building momentum begins with a good strategy, so we want to pull the curtain back and share how we planned our year, and the specific things that we're going to do differently this year so that we can achieve extraordinary results.     The ON...

If you are hitting a ceiling of achievement in your life, then you are missing a person – either in the form of a mentor or leverage. Today we are focusing on the leverage side; the people who can take things off of your plate so that you can focus on the 20% work that will allow you to achieve extraordinary results. In episode 50, we talked to today's guest, Gene Rivers, about how he and his wife...

If you want to live an extraordinary life, you have to master something – but it only has to be ONE thing.   For many of us, mastering the ability to communicate with other people, or connect with others, is the ONE thing that will make everything else easier or unnecessary.   Today, we sit down with someone who has mastered the art of asking great questions: Susan Scott, the author of Fierce Conv...
