Are You Chasing Stress Instead of Success?

Do you ever feel like you're constantly chasing the next thing—only to realize you're too stressed to enjoy any of it? I know that feeling all too well. One of my biggest regrets in life is how much time I’ve spent in stress instead of in the moment. And I know I’m not alone.

Stress isn’t happening in the present—it lives in the future. It’s worrying about problems that don’t even exist yet. But here’s the truth: Peace and productivity only exist in the now. If you’re always “future traveling,” always chasing the next achievement, the next milestone, the next weekend... you’ll never truly arrive. In this episode, I’ll share a powerful lesson I learned from a street artist in Central Park that will change the way you approach your dreams.

Because here’s the key—you CAN have big goals and dreams without letting them steal your joy. You CAN move toward a vision for your life while still being fully present in the moments that matter. The difference between success that’s fulfilling and success that leaves you empty comes down to one thing: learning how to balance focus on the future with presence in the now.

This episode is your wake-up call to stop escaping into stress and start living in the richness of the present.

Key Takeaways:

Why stress only exists in the future—and how to break free from it
The difference between having a vision and “future traveling”
A simple mindset shift that will help you enjoy the journey AND the destination
How the most successful people separate from outcomes and stay present
The one thing that will make your relationships, career, and happiness better instantly

Harvard’s Dr. Howard Gardner on Unlocking Your 8+ Hidden Intelligences

Are You Smarter Than You Think?

For years, we’ve been told intelligence is about IQ, test scores, and fitting into a rigid mold. But what if everything you thought about intelligence was wrong? What if intelligence isn't just one thing—but many?

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most influential psychologists of our time, Dr. Howard Gardner, the man behind the groundbreaking Theory of Multiple Intelligences. His work changed the way I see people—including myself—and I know it’s going to change the way you see yourself and those around you. We break down the different types of intelligence and how understanding them can transform your confidence, your parenting, your leadership, and even your business.

Think you’re not smart just because you weren’t great at math? Think again. You may have an intelligence that’s been overlooked your whole life. Dr. Gardner explains how to identify your strengths, unlock your potential, and even help your kids or team members thrive by recognizing their unique abilities.

We also get into the future—how AI is reshaping intelligence, what true leadership looks like, and why being "smart" isn’t enough. We need people who use their intelligence for good, who lead with purpose, and who build lives based on their natural strengths.

Key Takeaways:

The eight types of intelligence and why traditional IQ tests only measure two
How to identify your personal intelligence (or your child’s)
The hidden biases we have about intelligence—and how they impact hiring, leadership, and success
Why AI is changing the way we think about intelligence and what it means for our future
The secret to staying mentally sharp as you age

This conversation is going to shift the way you see yourself forever. Stop doubting your intelligence—start understanding it. Let’s go!

How Facing Your Fears Can Help You Conquer Them

What if your biggest fear is the one thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live?

Fear is a liar. It whispers that you’re not good enough, that you should wait, that failure is too risky. But what if I told you that fear is actually the roadmap to your next breakthrough? In this episode, I sit down with some of the most incredible minds—Tony Robbins, Rich Diviney, Jen Gottlieb, Colin O’Brady, Robin Sharma, John Assaraf, and James Lawrence—to break down how fear is shaping your decisions, holding you back, and how you can use it as fuel to push forward.

Tony Robbins reveals how the media and external noise create unnecessary fear, and how the difference between fear and faith is simply the story we tell ourselves. Rich Diviney talks about resilience—not just bouncing back but coming back stronger—and shares the mindset shift that separates top performers from everyone else. Jen Gottlieb teaches how to put fear in the passenger seat and take control of your life, proving that when you face fear head-on, its power over you disappears. Colin O’Brady takes us through his incredible transformation from being told he’d never walk again to breaking world records by choosing courage over comfort.

You’ll also hear Robin Sharma explain why fear is the gateway to greatness, how we must “hug the monster” and realize that most of what we’re afraid of is an illusion. John Assaraf lays out a step-by-step process to retrain your brain and turn fear into a tool for success. And James Lawrence, the Iron Cowboy, proves that the mind is more powerful than the body, walking us through his moments of absolute physical breakdown—and how he pushed through anyway.

In this episode, you will learn:

How fear creates invisible barriers that are limiting your success

The difference between fear and intuition (and how to tell them apart)

Techniques to retrain your brain and use fear as fuel instead of a roadblock

Why resilience is more than just “bouncing back”—it’s about becoming stronger

The power of pushing past your limits and discovering what you're truly capable of

The truth is, you’re not afraid of failure—you’re afraid of what happens if you actually succeed. But let me remind you of something: you were born to do something great with your life. Don’t let fear rob you of that. The world doesn’t need a smaller version of you—it needs the real you, stepping up, playing full out, and living at the highest level. It’s time to face your fears and conquer them once and for all.
