Two heart attacks should have ended Rick Brennan’s story. Instead, he signed up for an Ironman.

If you feel stuck, anxious, or held back by your past, this episode shows you how to rebuild your body, mind, and confidence - one small step at a time.

Rick shares how he turned heart attack recovery into a new mission, and why the mental side of healing was harder than the physical side.

We also go deep on anxiety and depression, with Rick sharing how he reframed anxiety as a sign he cares, how journaling helped him take his own advice, and why so many successful people are secretly insecure.

He then opens up about something he has never shared on a podcast before.

This is a raw talk on men’s health, mental health, discipline, and courage.

If you’re ready to stop waiting and start small, press play now.

From the outside, Sarah Connolly had it all. A business, yoga classes, and a young family. But behind closed doors, she was drinking more than she wanted and it was eating away at her self-respect.

We sat down with Sarah, a grey area drinking coach who has been alcohol-free for seven years. She shares the one question that changed everything. Not “Am I drinking more than them?” But “Am I drinking too much for me?”

Sarah explains why some people can stop at one and others can’t. Hint: it has nothing to do with discipline.

We also dig into the moment Sarah knew she was done, and why she still had six more weeks of drinking first.

You’ll also hear Harvey’s plan for a drinking contract, and Sarah gives her honest take on moderation.

If you’re sober-curious, doing a booze challenge, or simply wondering if your drinking is too much for you, this episode may change how you see your next drink.

Your plan B is killing your plan A.

In this episode, we show you how to build “the dog,”, which is the mental toughness that makes you smile when life gets hard (even if you weren’t born with it).

We also cover how to spot someone with the dog, and why the people around you set your standards.

You’ll hear how four days of TV news shifted one of our mindsets, and why you can’t cherry-pick someone else’s success. We break down Tony Robbins’ PARB loop (Potential, Action, Result, Belief) and why talent is more common than drive.

Maybe you’re an entrepreneur, a recruiter, or stuck in a job you’ve outgrown. If you want more self-discipline, more drive and a clear path to the life you want, hit play now to find out how to get the dog in you.
