  • Unraveling The "Be-Do-Have" Paradigm

    Unraveling The "Be-Do-Have" Paradigm
    Jun 3 2025
    Ever feel like you're doing all the right things but still not getting what you want? That’s where the Be-Do-Have paradigm comes in. Most people have it backwards. They think once they have the success, time, love, or clarity—they’ll do the right things and finally be who they want to be. But that’s not how it works. If you want lasting results, alignment, and peace that doesn’t crack under pressure—you’ve got to flip the script. In this episode, I break down the Be-Do-Have framework through a powerful lens—drawing from the book Beyond Body Beyond Mind by Dr. Sukhi Muker. I walk you through how to live it out, how to spot where you're off, and how to train the habit of BEing in real-time—especially when life feels chaotic. This isn't theory. It’s the difference between temporary change and transformation that sticks. Let’s get into it. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?

  • Stop Drifting—The 5 W’s That Realign Your Life

    Stop Drifting—The 5 W’s That Realign Your Life
    May 28 2025
    Are you really living... or just reacting? In this episode, I’m handing you a tool for deep, no-BS introspection: the 5 W’s of Radical Self Awareness. This isn’t some surface-level journaling prompt. This is a mirror. A spotlight. A call-out and a call-forward—all in one. You'll explore: Who is influencing your thoughts, energy, and identity What you’re truly committed to (and what you say you're committed to) When you tend to abandon yourself Where your environments are either draining or fueling you Why you haven’t leapt yet—even though you know it’s time This episode was sparked by an email from a listener, Benjamin Foley. We connected over our shared approach to fear—leaning into it. Not running from it. Benjamin’s article, “Advice On Anxiety No One Tells You”, lit a fire under me, and now I’m passing that torch to you. You don’t need another checklist. You need a pattern interrupt. You need to sit with these questions like your life depends on it—because in a way, it does. Radical self awareness is the first step to radical self leadership. And the only person who can give you that… is you. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY? Download the free "trust account" app from the YourDay Balance Game, and start building trust with YOURSELF today!

  • The Truth About Balance: Why You’re Out of Alignment (And Don’t Know It)

    The Truth About Balance: Why You’re Out of Alignment (And Don’t Know It)
    May 23 2025
    What if the reason life feels so off... is because your wheels are out of balance? In this episode, I introduce you to a powerful framework called The Body Vehicle—a tool I learned through the YourDay Balance Game that completely shifted how I understand (and live) life balance. Here’s the idea: If your life is a car, you’ve got five essential wheels—Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Social, and Physical. When those wheels are under-inflated, over-inflated, or straight up missing... your ride through life gets bumpy. Uneven. Chaotic. This isn't just metaphor—it’s feedback. And in this episode, I break it all down: What each of the 5 wheels represents How to tell when you're out of alignment Simple ways to get back in balance without adding more to your plate If you’ve been grinding through life, wondering why it feels so damn hard despite doing “all the right things,” this episode is your mirror. Time to check your tires. Let’s smooth out the ride—together. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?

  • The Personal Development Trap: Why Chasing Growth Might Be Holding You Back

    The Personal Development Trap: Why Chasing Growth Might Be Holding You Back
    May 2 2025
    When’s the last time you stopped to actually see your growth? Not the goal you're chasing. Not the next version of you that you think you should be. I'm talking about a real, honest pause—to look back and say, “Wow, I’ve come a long way.” In this episode, I unpack a few powerful moments where I caught myself in the act of growth—one with my wife, one with myself—and what it taught me about self-mastery, presence, and how easily we overlook our own evolution. If you're someone who's been "doing the work," you probably have a high bar. But here's the truth: constantly chasing better without stopping to acknowledge the wins is a fast-track to burnout and self-judgment. In this episode I talk about: Why high achievers struggle to recognize their own healing The cost of skipping acknowledgment What real growth looks like in relationships and in the mirror How to build in reflection without losing momentum This isn’t about staying stuck in the past. It’s about using your progress as proof—you’re not who you used to be. And that matters. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?

    Apr 23 2025

  • The 3 Mindsets That Have Transformed My Confidence, Relationships and Wealth

    The 3 Mindsets That Have Transformed My Confidence, Relationships and Wealth
    Apr 16 2025
    In today's episode I'm sharing with you three mindsets that have been the biggest catalysts for my personal transformation over the past 4 years. From my self confidence, to the quality of my relationships, to my ability to attract money and create wealth, these 3 things have been the spark for them all. This episode was inspired by a question I was asked last week, "What would you attribute to the huge transformation you've made in your life over the past 4 years?". Here's where I was: I didn't trust myself. I had low confidence that I could do and achieve what I wanted to in life (financially, career wise, goal wise, in relationships, etc.) I wore a mask of physical confidence -- friends saw me as a person who was confident in my body, but internally I judged, and compared and told myself that I was never big, strong, "black" enough. I had complete financial immaturity. I was totally scarce minded. Afraid to look at my bank account. Anxious during financial conversation. I was swimming in student loan and credit card debt, and had no plan to get out because I was so scared of my personal finances. I had a lukewarm intimate relationship with my wife (dating at the time). We both came into the relationship with fears, judgements, negative self talk, and that created a lukewarm bedroom. Where I am 4 years later: Insane confidence in myself, that's grounded with humility. I have come to understand things about myself, how I operate, what I'm capable of, that I never knew before. realized I'm stronger, smarter, more resourceful, kind, compassionate, passionate, sexy, courageous than I ever knew possible. Also realized that I don't know it all, that my growth is contingent upon my ability to seek and receive feedback powerfully. That's where my humility comes from. I have a strong, passionate, loving, trusting relationship with my wife. connected, not attached. Amazing sex and intimacy. We feel confident to explore the parameters of our relationship and what loving one another unconditionally means. For us that looks like non-monogamy. We're married and love each other completely, and we support one another in creating powerful, intimate relationships with other people (physically, spiritually, emotionally....all of that) Iv'e opened myself up to receive abundance and generate more money today than I ever have, with much less effort. I have confidence in my ability to achieve the goals I set out. I'm able to take risks and do things that no one else around me is doing (quit my job to pursue a passion, right before having a baby, start a podcast, leverage my gifts and talents, build an online empire). Listen to the episode to hear the 3 mindsets that have led to all of these personal transformations. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?
