  • The Inner Work of Outward Success: Barrett Brooks on Mastery, Fatherhood, and Emotional Growth

    The Inner Work of Outward Success: Barrett Brooks on Mastery, Fatherhood, and Emotional Growth
    Oct 9 2025
    This episode is a special one. After a year of interviewing thoughtful, world-class guests, I wanted to share more of my own story. So I asked my dear friend, and episode 01 guest, James Clear, to turn the mic on me. We talk about the formative moments in my life— from childhood patterns and baseball memories to the inner work I’ve done to stop striving without purpose and start accepting myself more fully. I share why I believe that most successful people already know what to do—they just need help getting past their individual emotional blockers. We explore the coaching frameworks I use, the lessons I’m still learning, and why I no longer believe I have to suffer to do good in the world. This is the most personal conversation I’ve ever had on the show, and I’m incredibly grateful to James for holding it with so much care. Let’s get to it!

    We’re Back: Good Work Season 02
    Sep 30 2025
    We’re back for Season 02 of Good Work! I’ve always believed there’s more to success than titles, wealth, or the next business tactic. This season, I want to explore the kind of work that calls us higher, to work rooted in purpose, values, and service to others. It’s about asking bigger questions: What are we here for? How do we reach our full potential and make a meaningful impact? Join me as we go beyond the typical surface-level business strategies to uncover the inner journey that shapes authentic, fulfilling outward success. If you’re ready to dig deep, I can’t wait to share this season with you. Let’s get to it!
