Most people avoid the emotions and challenges that would change them. That’s why they stay stuck.

In this episode, I’m sharing the tools to become a badass - someone who creates extraordinary results by building mental toughness and emotional resilience.

This isn’t about positive thinking. It’s about stepping into your power and knowing challenges will come with it.

You’ll learn to build emotional strength by processing, not avoiding feelings. You’ll develop behavioral strength to keep moving forward when you mess up. And you’ll see why impossible goals are the key to redefining your identity.

Stop operating from weakness. Start operating from power.

What You Will Discover:

• Why making the decision to be a badass requires telling people and committing publicly.
• How to build mental strength through repetition, exposure, and intense work periods.
• The three reasons setting impossible goals transforms your identity and results.
• Why anticipating worst-case scenarios and planning for them strengthens you before obstacles arrive.
• How emotional resilience means embracing fear, doubt, and insecurity rather than avoiding them.
• The difference between coddling (which weakens) and self-love (which strengthens).
• Why badasses are built on piles of failures, mistakes, and judgments.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is in how you face obstacles.

Your brain is hardwired to seek comfort and avoid growth, which keeps you stuck in mediocrity - in the ordinary.

This wiring, known as the Motivational Triad, is great for survival but terrible for achieving greatness.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the obstacles that stand between you and the badass version of yourself and the key to overcoming them.

What You Will Discover:

• Why your brain's motivational triad (conserving energy, avoiding pain, seeking pleasure) directly sabotages extraordinary achievement.
• How fragility and constant excuse-making weaken your ability to create results.
• The hidden cost of approval-seeking and why you're wasting energy trying to please people you don't even respect.
• What drama and negativity bonding really do to your mental fortitude and creative capacity.
• The difference between self-love and self-coddling, and why one strengthens while the other weakens.
• How to use negative emotions as opportunities to build strength instead of reasons to retreat.
• Why accepting you're both good and bad, right and wrong, frees up massive energy for creation.

Success isn’t reserved for a select few. It’s available to anyone willing to become the person who creates it.

In this three-part series, I’m answering the question I get asked over and over: How do you create the success you want in your life?

The answer isn't about being the smartest or having a perfect past.

It’s about developing two key traits: mental strength and a productive work ethic. These aren’t optional. They’re the foundation of extraordinary results.

In this episode, I share my journey to becoming a badass in business and how I built Self Coaching Scholars into a $10M+ program. You’ll learn why simply believing you can achieve success isn’t enough. You have to believe you are the person who creates those results.

What You Will Discover:

• The two identifiable characteristics every badass possesses and why both are essential.
• How mental strength differs from mental weakness and what it actually requires to develop
• Why work ethic isn't about hustling 24/7 but about producing significant results quickly
• The real reason people fail (hint: it's not lack of capability)
• How childhood trauma can actually contribute to developing mental toughness
• Why announcing your badass identity matters more than keeping it private
• The connection between handling criticism and creating extraordinary success
