Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

Implementing a new habit rarely feels life-changing at first. Going for a morning walk and getting a few minutes of sunlight, or visualizing checking something off a to-do list, might sound like activities that barely move the needle.
Yet over time, those small actions often become the difference between feeling stuck and becoming the person you're capable of being. And after reading the first chapter of Jon Gordon's newest book, The Power of Positive Habits, I felt the benefits from that one simple action in the first 5 minutes.
Jon is the bestselling author of 33 books, including The Energy Bus, which has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide. But before becoming one of the most respected voices in leadership and personal development, Jon struggled with negativity to the point that his wife told him their marriage wouldn't survive unless he changed. That wake-up call led him on a journey that transformed his mindset, career, and life.
In our conversation, Jon shares the habits that reduce friction and make it easier to follow through, why becoming your own greatest encourager can change everything, and how letting go of the past can unlock the mental blocks that prevent you from becoming the best version of yourself.

What happens after you die? It's a question that has fascinated humanity for thousands of years. Today's guest has an answer that might surprise you. 
Dannion Brinkley has been clinically dead multiple times, and what he learned from those experiences led him to one extraordinary conclusion: nobody ever dies.
Dannion is the bestselling author of Saved by the Light and Secrets of the Light, a hospice volunteer with nearly 50 years of service, and one of the world's most well-known near-death experience survivors. 
After being struck by lightning in 1975 and clinically dead for 28 minutes, Dannion says he experienced what he calls a panoramic life review that completely transformed the course of his life.
Dannion has devoted his life to helping people face death without fear. He has spent more than 34,000 hours at the bedside of veterans in the VA, provided hospice support to over 2,000 people during their final days, and helped build one of the largest end-of-life volunteer programs for veterans, the Brinkley Center Foundation.
In our conversation, Dannion shares what he has learned from decades spent helping people navigate life's final transition, why he believes no one truly dies, what happens during the panoramic life review, and how we can live in a way that brings more love, service, and meaning to the people around us.

AI is evolving faster than most of us can comprehend. And for many people, it's creating a very real fear about the future. If machines can outthink us and eventually outwork us, what does that mean for our careers, our purpose, and even our identity? 
Perhaps an even better question is: what does it mean to be human in the age of AI?
Today, I'm joined by Jeff Burningham. Jeff is an entrepreneur, investor, and author who has built more than a dozen companies valued at over a billion dollars and recently released his powerful new book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI. Unlike most conversations about AI that focus on productivity, efficiency, or making more money, Jeff explores something much deeper: how AI can actually help humanity reconnect with wisdom, presence, empathy, and the qualities that make us uniquely human.
In our conversation, Jeff explains why AI is not just a technological disruption, but a spiritual challenge and a mirror reflecting humanity back to itself. We talk about fear, optimism, consciousness, emotional regulation, and why wisdom—not intelligence—may become the most valuable human trait moving forward. 
If you've felt uncertain or overwhelmed about where humanity is headed, this episode will challenge the way you think about both AI and yourself.

One of the biggest challenges parents face today is creating a real connection with their kids in a world where phones and screens dominate so much of their attention.
And here's where it really hits home. We only have "18 summers to create lasting connections" with our kids before they become adults, so why not make the most of it?
Today, I'm joined by two of my favorite people, Mike and Lindsay McCarthy. Mike and Lindsay are the co-authors of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families and the Miracle Morning for Parents and Families Playbook.
Mike is also the CEO and co-founder of the Gobundance mastermind and co-created Fambundance with his wife, Lindsay. Together, they've spent more than a decade helping families create stronger relationships, healthier communication, and intentional family meetings and habits through events and their family legacy framework.
In our conversation, we talk about the systems and values that have helped them create a deeply connected family culture, how intentional parenting evolves as your kids grow older, and why creating shared experiences and family traditions can shape your children long after they leave home.

The truth is, almost everyone struggles with procrastination. It keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns, convinces us to wait for the "perfect" time to take action, and gets in the way of what we truly want. Whether it's starting a business, improving your health, writing a book, or having a difficult conversation, procrastination often becomes a roadblock between who we are and who we want to become.
Today, I'm joined by Jon Acuff. Jon is an 11-time NYT bestselling author, a top-100 INC keynote speaker, and has just released his newest book, Procrastination Proof. Jon has spent years studying mindset, perfectionism, and the habits that keep people from taking action to achieve their biggest goals. His ability to simplify complicated ideas into practical frameworks has helped millions of people create meaningful change in their personal and professional lives.
In our conversation, Jon explains why procrastination isn't actually a character flaw or a sign of laziness, but a "solution" we use to avoid discomfort, fear, uncertainty, and criticism. We unpack the mindset patterns that keep people stuck, the hidden reasons why we procrastinate, and why so many people mistakenly believe they "work best under pressure."
Jon also shares a 4-step framework that makes someone "procrastination proof," along with practical ways to overcome perfectionism and finally stop delaying the life you truly want. If you've ever felt stuck between your intentions and your actions, this episode will help you close that gap and start moving forward.
