    ATG 289 | Bravery is One Size Fits You: Why Curiosity is the Key to Courage

    07/06/2026 | 14 mins.
    What's brave for me won't be brave for you, and vice versa. I once had a woman share that driving over a bridge was a brave moment for her. I drive over bridges all the time without thinking about it, but paperwork? That sends my heart rate through the roof. In this third episode of our Bravest Summer Ever series, I'm breaking down the second key to bravery: curiosity. Most people aren't curious about themselves because they're running so quickly through life. But when you get curious, you develop self awareness, which is a superpower all its own. I'll teach you three questions to ask yourself to identify your brave moments and give you homework that will change how you see your week. When you're curious, you learn about yourself. When you learn about yourself, you can be braver than ever before. Because bravery is one size fits you, not one size fits all.

    ATG 288 | The First Key to Bravery (And Why You'll Never Be Brave Without It)

    06/29/2026 | 13 mins.
    Want to know the secret to bravery? It's not what you think. In this episode, part of my "Bravest Summer Ever" series, I'm revealing the first of three keys to bravery, and it's so obvious you might miss it: goals. Here's the truth: no one is brave "just because." That would be dumb. Bravery is uncomfortable, challenging, and requires sacrifice. So why would anyone choose it? Because they have big, beautiful, sexy goals they're in love with. Goals that get them out of bed at 4:55 AM. Goals they can't stop thinking about. I'd rather watch YouTube than write some days, but I want to hold a finished book in my hand, so I have to be brave enough to focus. Desire leads to bravery. Every successful goal requires it, and every goal inspires it. So let me ask you a tough question: What do you want? You don't have to tell me, but you better tell yourself.

    ATG 287 | Bravest Summer Ever: Why Fear Has Had Enough of a Run (Part 1)

    06/22/2026 | 15 mins.
    Fear had a pretty good run the last few years. It kicked our butts, didn't it? But I'm over it, and I think it's time we take back the territory we lost. That's why I'm starting a new 5 episode series called "Bravest Summer Ever." In this first episode, I'm breaking down three reasons why we need to talk about bravery right now: fear had its moment and it's enough already, bravery is the only thing every successful person has in common (it's the skill that unlocks every other), and most importantly, you can learn it. Bravery isn't something you're born with or without. It's a skill anyone can master. I'll share definitions of bravery, from "motion despite emotion" to "putting miles between you and your desire to quit," and give you your first homework assignment: What does brave mean to you? Over the next few weeks, you're going to become braver than you've ever been. Let's rally.

    ATG 286 | What Your Favorite Airline Says About You (And Why It Matters)

    06/15/2026 | 16 mins.
    After 14 years of travel, I finally achieved Delta Diamond Medallion Status. But here's the thing: it took me over a decade even though I fly 100 times a year. Why? Because time is the currency I care about most. In this episode, I'm breaking down what your airline choice reveals about your priorities and why understanding your real values changes everything. If you live in Atlanta, Delta is unbeatable with Sky Clubs and first class upgrades. But I live in Nashville, and flying Delta means adding 2 to 4 hours to every trip through connections. That's 200 hours a year I'd lose. Your words don't reveal what you care about, your actions do. Whether it's airlines, yard work, or cars, the choices you make every day show who you really are. I'll teach you how to match your actions to your intentions, because that's the soundtrack that always leads to excellence. The choices you make, make you.

    ATG 285 | Stop Saying "Late Bloomer": The 4 Words That Will Change Everything

    06/08/2026 | 14 mins.
    I used to introduce myself as a "late bloomer" on hundreds of podcast episodes. It sounded casual, even humble. But here's what I was really saying: "I should have learned this earlier. Smarter people figured this out years before I did. I'm behind." That broken soundtrack has been quietly wreaking havoc in my life for years. In this episode, I'm exposing one of the most dangerous phrases you might be saying right now and showing you the four words you should say instead. Whether you learn something new at 30, 50, or 70, whether you accomplish a goal this year or next, whether you finally clean that garage or lose those 20 pounds, there's no official age when you're supposed to do any of it. Shame cannot answer the question: "When was I supposed to know this?" Because there is no answer. You're not a late bloomer. You're right on time.
