What would you do if life gave you a 3% chance to live?

In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, host Matt LeBris sits down with John Ulsh, a husband, father, entrepreneur, and survivor of a devastating car accident that nearly claimed his life.

John’s story isn’t just about survival — it’s about the radical grace required to rebuild when everything you knew is gone. He opens up about waking up from trauma, learning to take life one first step at a time, and the mindset that transforms setbacks into starting points.

This conversation is a reminder that there are countless ways to go backward, but only one way to move forward — through grace, patience, and a willingness to begin again.

If you’ve ever felt like you were starting over, this one’s for you.

• The mindset shift that helped John find purpose after tragedy

• How to give yourself grace when life sets you back

• Why progress isn’t linear — and why that’s a good thing

• The importance of redefining strength as acceptance instead of perfection

• How to take your next “first step,” no matter how small

In this episode, Panache Desai and Matt LeBris dive into what happens when we stop trying to fix the unfixable, surrender control, and embrace who we truly are. We explore how ambition and success can mask deeper wounds, why so many of us feel “empty” even after we’ve achieved, and how letting go of past identity can open the door to lasting peace. Panache shares powerful insights, practical steps, and stories about what it really looks like to live with presence, self-love, and authenticity.

Who This Episode is For...

• Anyone feeling exhausted from chasing success that never satisfies.

• People longing for peace, presence, and authenticity.

• Black Sheep & non-conformists who often feel different or out of place.

• Those who are ready to stop “working on themselves” and instead begin “being themselves.”

Key Takeaways From This Episode...

• Success and achievement won’t heal past pain — acknowledging we are powerless over the past is the first step toward freedom.

• Surrender is not giving up; it’s a shift from doing-ness to being-ness.

• Love of self is foundational: you can’t truly love others if you haven’t accepted and embraced yourself.

• Letting go of control doesn’t mean inaction; it means trusting the natural unfolding.

• Imperfection, mortality, human vulnerability—they’re essential. When we stop pretending and start being profoundly human, joy and peace follow.

In this episode of the Decoding Success Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Robert Glover, author of the international bestseller No More Mr. Nice Guy. Together, we unpack the hidden ways we suppress our desires, betray our authenticity, and live for approval — and more importantly, how to break free.

Dr. Glover shares:

• How to recognize the “lie coach” in your head that keeps you playing small.

• Why so many of us pursue goals that were never truly ours.

• The difference between emotional fusion and healthy differentiation (and why it’s the key to real freedom).

• How to start reclaiming your suppressed desires — without guilt, shame, or fear of rejection.

• Why authenticity is always a process, not a one-time choice.

Whether you’ve struggled with people-pleasing, codependency, or simply not knowing what you truly want in life, this conversation will give you permission — and the tools — to step into your full, authentic self.

I want to let you in on something that hit me hard recently:
If you’re “playing it cool” in life, chances are… you’re actually just playing yourself.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down a moment that made me reflect deeply — a missed opportunity on a Brooklyn street that left me with instant regret. I’m sharing it because I know I’m not the only one who’s ever let fear get dressed up in confidence.

We convince ourselves we’re being smooth. That we’re in control. But deep down, we’re just scared — scared of looking dumb, getting rejected, or not living up to the version of ourselves we’re trying to project.

I dive into:

• Why “playing it cool” is costing you the life you want

• What fear looks like when it’s wearing designer clothing

• The hard truth about opportunities: they don’t wait for you to be ready

• Why it’s better to live with a “no” than a “never know”

• How to start acting like the version of yourself you’re trying to become

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, holding back your voice, or missing shots you know you were meant to take — this one’s for you.

Let them see you try. Let God see you try. You're not here to play it cool — you're here to play it real.
