What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show!

Today we’re diving into the one thing that impacts every area of your life, career, and happiness—self-leadership. Before you lead a team, a company, or a family, you’ve got to learn how to lead yourself. And let’s be honest—it’s the hardest job of all.

Joining me today is Jim Williams, and we unpack what it really means to lead yourself with clarity, humility, and discipline.

We break down:

✅ Why self-leadership is mental warfare—and worth the battle

✅ How to identify your strengths, gifts, and blind spots

✅ Why chasing money without alignment leads to burnout

✅ How to build mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual freedom

✅ The danger of staying in the wrong “lane” too long

We also talk about how corporate culture and bad leadership training often push people to “fix their weaknesses” instead of developing their superpowers. The truth? You can’t lead others well if you’re not first grounded in who you are and what you’re meant to do.

🔥 CHALLENGE: Ask yourself: In what area of your life are you not leading yourself well right now? Get brutally honest. Then take ONE step to change it. If today’s episode brought you value, do me a favor—Like, Subscribe, and Share this with someone who needs to hear it!

What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show!

Today’s episode hits home for every entrepreneur, leader, and high performer—what you avoid owns you. Whether it’s a tough conversation, a business decision, or a personal commitment, the things you put off don’t just disappear… they quietly take control of your mindset, your energy, and your results.

Joining me today is Eric Guy, and we dig into:

✅ Why avoidance creates invisible prisons—not freedom

✅ How procrastination and delay lead to emotional and mental fatigue

✅ The compounding cost of avoiding small problems in business and life

✅ How facing what you’ve been putting off unlocks peace and progress

✅ Four powerful questions to help you stop avoiding and start acting

We also share personal stories of delay, regret, and breakthrough—how unfinished conversations and unresolved tension snowball into burnout, broken trust, and missed opportunities. But when you confront what’s uncomfortable, you create space for real leadership, clarity, and freedom.

🔥 CHALLENGE: Pick ONE thing you’ve been avoiding and handle it in the next 24 hours. Freedom doesn’t come from comfort—it comes from courage.

What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show!

Today, we’re unpacking a powerful truth—real leadership isn’t about volume—it’s about presence, consistency, and emotional control. In a world full of noise and ego, true leaders lead with calm, clarity, and example—not with shouting.

Joining me today is Mark Perkins, and we break down:

✅ Why consistency beats intensity in leadership

✅ The damage caused by reactive, emotional leadership

✅ How calm leaders create high-performing teams

✅ Why trust is earned in quiet, daily actions—not grand gestures

✅ How strong cultures are built on steadiness, not shouting

We also dive into the importance of creating a team environment where people feel safe to make decisions, learn from mistakes, and ask for help—without fear. Great leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about building a culture that grows people.

🔥 CHALLENGE: Ask yourself—how do people feel when you walk in the room? Are you building trust through how you show up daily? If today’s episode brought you value, do me a favor—Like, Subscribe, and Share this with someone who needs to hear it!

What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show!

Today, we’re diving into the one resource we all get in equal measure—time. If you’ve ever said “there’s not enough time in the day,” you’re not alone. But the truth is, the problem isn’t time—it’s priorities.

Joining me today is Tyler Joe Stratton, and we’re having a powerful conversation about purpose, productivity, and how to align your calendar with what actually matters.

We unpack:

✅ Why “not enough time” is a myth—and what to do instead

✅ How to prioritize peace over pressure

✅ Real tactics to protect your calendar like it’s a bank account

✅ The danger of chasing success without fulfillment

✅ How to re-center your life around purpose, joy, and presence

We also talk about the seasons of sacrifice, saying no to the wrong things, and why peace—not money, cars, or status—is the real finish line.

🔥 CHALLENGE: Treat your time like currency. Every yes is a withdrawal—so ask yourself: is it an investment or just a spend?

What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show!

Today, we’re unpacking one of the biggest separators between average and elite—discipline. Motivation might get you started, but discipline is what keeps the rock moving up the hill. When you study high performers, you’ll see one trend: they do what needs to be done—especially when they don’t feel like it.

Joining me today is Eric Guy, and we dig into:

✅ Why discipline is the real driver of lasting success

✅ The difference between hype, motivation, and consistent habits

✅ How to stay committed when nobody’s clapping for you

✅ Why your vision determines your daily discipline

✅ How to lead yourself before you can lead others

We also talk about the power of proximity, generational impact, and how discipline isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up with purpose every single day, even in the unseen hours.

🔥 CHALLENGE: What’s one area of your life that’s been coasting on motivation instead of discipline? Audit it today, and build a better routine around it.

We’ve hit halftime in 2025, and now it’s time to get honest, get real, and gear up to finish strong. If the first half didn’t go exactly how you planned, that’s okay—what matters now is how you respond.

Joining me today is Jim Williams, and we’re diving into what it means to be a second-half savage. This episode is your call to audit, adjust, and attack—because greatness in Q4 starts with clarity in Q3.

We break down:

✅ How to honestly evaluate your goals, habits, results, and energy

✅ Why auditing your calendar may be the key to your next breakthrough

✅ How small adjustments to your focus create massive momentum

✅ The difference between vision and pipe dreams—and how to set real targets

✅ How to create non-negotiables that actually move the needle

We also share reflections from the recent Top Contractor School meetup—a gathering full of energy, strategy, connection, and support. It’s proof that you can’t do this alone and that the right environment will fuel your next level.

🔥 CHALLENGE: Write down your top 3 wins—and top 3 missed opportunities—from the first half of the year. Use that list to build a focused, relentless second-half game plan.
