Trip Ison is a speaker and the host of the Ain't Dead Yet Podcast. Trip has an incredibly inspiring story as he used to be addicted to drugs and alcohol. He had a stable career but found himself unfulfilled, unhealthy and unhappy.

On the night before his birthday, he looked himself in the mirror and had a conversation with himself. It was in that moment he decided that enough was enough. He was no longer going to live below his potential, as an overweight man, and not pursue his God given purpose. 

The next day, Trip ran a mile and sharped his mindset. This was a catalyst for him to complete a full Ironman and compete in ultramarathon races. 

Trip is a big proponent of spreading his story to the world as a source of inspiration. In 2024, he began public speaking to help the youth make better decisions and learn from his mistakes.

I am so proud of what Trip is doing and the man he is today. This episode is packed with inspiration and can who you that you can change your life.

Lexi started her journey in 2020 while she was still working as a dental hygientist. As the world shut down and her gym closed due to the pandemic, she started posted fitness content on her Instagram. As she received good feedback from others and acquired social proof, she went all in on Lexi J Wellness and was eventually in a position within less than a year to quit her job and go full-time on her business.

This year, Lexi has spent a lot of energy on her in-person events. Lexi was in Austin, TX hosting two workout events for the local community here, and even had supporters from around the country fly in to attend. These workouts were amazing and a great way to connect with others!

In this episode, we discuss Lexi's evolution as an entrepreneur and creator. We touch on her ability to lead by example, as Lexi dives into how she positively impacted her father who suffered from four heart attacks to eventually lose 100 pounds. One of my favorite parts of the conversation was Lexi's persistance when it came to working with 1st Phorm. Lexi was denied from being a 1st Phorm ambassador 3 times, until they finally brought her on and she is now one of the top athletes for the company. 

Lexi is a huge inspiration to me and so many others. This was a special interview, as Lexi was one of my dream guests for a while. I hope you enjoy this episode!

In 1519, Cuban conquistador Hernan Cortes led his men to the Mexico coastline to defeat the Aztecs. This was a task that was basically a death wish, based on the Aztecs collective strength and barbaric tendencies. Cortes was able to energize his men, well, up until it was time to fight. When his men starred death, fear and discomfort in the eyes, they asked to retreat back to complacency. Cortes demanded "burn the ships". There was no going home. They were to win or die trying. 

This powerful historical story is one that applies to all of our lives. Success sounds appealing and we are all motivated by the outcome of hard work. However, many people fold when it comes to taking action. This is because action comes with stress, failure, discomfort and more. Us as humans HATE these feelings. However, these feelings are required for growth. Everything that we want in life is on the other side of fear.

This podcast is all about how you can apply Cortes' 3 simple words to your life. Remove all options that lead to your lack of commitment. Go all in on your personal goals and watch your life evolve in front of your eyes!

In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, Matt discusses:

• The story of Hernan Cortes
• What to learn from the fall of the Aztecs
• Why humans hate the feeling of discomfort
• How to become more committed to your goals
• Why you should remove unnecessary options that hold you back
• Call to action!

Throughout the process we pushed each other and scratched and clawed until the 75th Day was over. This challenge took discipline, mental toughness, physical strength and confidence. 

After successfully completing the challenge, Ricky and I sat down to discuss the outcome of the challenge. We discuss lessons learned, the hardest days and encouragement for anyone who wants to try! Ricky reflects on who he was on a person before Day 1 and how the challenge dramatically changed that. Matt shares how he learned a profound lesson about 75 HARD that completing it was not the end, it was the beginning of living a more successful life. 

In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, Ricky and Matt discuss:

• Biggest takeaways from 75 HARD
• Our cheat meal cravings throughout the challenge
• Who we were on Day 1 compared to Day 75
• The moments where we almost failed
• What inspired us to start 75 HARD
• How this challenge relates to defining and achieving success
• Big achievements
• Dealing with doubt from others
• Fighting self-doubt
• Making incredible physical and mental gains
• Why everyone should try the challenge
• Much More!

Each morning you wake up with new opportunities. The outlook of your day is determinant on how you spend your first moments. Do you wake in the morning and instantly check your phone, emails or the news? Or do you stay away from technology, move your body and put yourself in a position to grow? Too many people fall in the former group. The latter group is filled with individuals who already have an advantage of you that day and are in a better position to complete tasks, live a healthy lifestyle and reach their goals. Although these people may hold the same goals, the same job, etc, the difference maker is their morning routine. 

Many people may tell you to wake up at 4am, 5am, or 6am. Hours that people would never set their alarm for unless an absolute necessity. Although waking up when the rest of the world is sleeping has a lot of merit, it is not necessary. What is more important is completing a morning routine, regardless of the time you wake up. This routine is unique to you. It can be 20 minutes or 2 hours. It can include a heavy lifting session or 20 minutes of meditation. It can include yoga or time blocking. The contents and length of your morning routing are up to YOU.

However, there is a method that you should follow as the mare minimum. Introducing the PEAK method. This 4-prong method will ensure that your day starts on the path of success. 

P - Plan/Prepare

• The P in the PEAK Method stands for Plan or Prepare. This means that you should create structure for your day in the form of time blocking, a to-do list or building a calendar. 

E - Educate

• The E in the PEAK Method stands for Educate. Start your morning by strengthening your brain with a informational podcast, book or YouTube video. 

A - Activity

• The A in the PEAK Method stands for Activity. Moving your body in the morning in the form of any exercise will boost your energy, productivity and overall health. 

K - KILL

• The K in the Peak Method stands for Kill. You have big goals and a busy day ahead of you. Attack your day with urgency and kill any task in front of you!

Everyone gets motivated. Everyone wants to put in the work when it is convenient for them. Everyone loves the "idea" of success. However, many people fold when the motivation runs out, when it is not convenient for them, when they do not want to put in the work to achieve success. This is discipline. Discipline is putting in the work that you need to put in, even when you do not want to. And your lack of discipline is holding you back.

Discipline is an art. It is the Swiss army knife that is versatile and necessary to complete many jobs. Most of us don't have that tool in the shed. Or it is not sharpened. If this is you, you are in the right place. Discipline is the best way to achieve success, build confidence and get sh*t done!

In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, we discuss: 

• What discipline is and why it is important
• Wake up call for the lazy
• Lessons learned from Tartar tribes
• How discipline can change every aspect of your life
• Daily Non-Negotiable List
• Power List to create every night

Harry Gray, aka MeatMafiaHarry is half of the Meat Mafia Podcast, co-founder of Noble Origins, operates a marketing agency and serves as a leader in the Austin community. Harry grew up playing sports and noticed his health begin to change. As he began to invest more into his nutrition, his life began to change. It wasn't until Harry took a leap of faith from his career to move to Austin and dive into entrepreneurship when his life began to change exponentially. 

Through Meat Mafia, Harry and his best friend Brett are striving to change the way the world views food. This is not a new fad diet. They are instead simplifying how we look at food, and preach simple, effective options to optimize health. 

His next venture was to start a nutirition product. Noble Origins is a grass-fed whey protein complex with liver, heart and collostrum. Noble is delicious and has taken over in Austin, TX. 

On top of all of this, Harry and his team operate a marketing agency where they help wellness brands with social media, writing, emails and more. 

Harry is also a dear friend of mine and a leader. He leads by example in fitness, as he is currently doing 1,000 step ups every day until he gets 1,000 people to take on the challenge themselves. Harry also helps run a Mens group in Austin, TX where we physically and spiritually challenge ourselves every week, creating a strong brotherhood.

As Matt continues to develop his business and strives to be the best in the landscaping industry, he is also on the path to success where he wants to achieve personal success, but also teach his team how to become millionaires.

Matt also shares how his life changed due to hiring mentors and coaches such as Andy Frisella and Ed Mylett. He has learned a lot from these business leaders, but urges listeners to seek out their own form of information, often FREE, in the form of podcasts, books and interviews.

"You can pay now and play later, or you can play now and pay later. But either way, you are going to have to pay". This excellent quote was provided by John C. Maxwell in his book, Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success". This quote expands on the principle that today is important for your future. Your actions today will determine if your future is filled with success, or failure. Which path are you headed on based on your daily actions?

In this episode, host Matt Lupi provides you with a call to action to make today count. On the journey to success, a fee must be paid. Dues are collected. You can either choose to pay these dues now while you are still young, hungry and full of energy OR you can defer these dues until later in life, filling your days with stress, unfulfillment and worry. Either way, you have to pay. Would you rather pay now and play later, or play now and pay later?

Many people desire success but lack the work ethic that success requires. Each day, we can pay dues toward our finances, mindset, education, relationships, emotions, spirituality and more. Investing in these critical areas of life now will blossom into future success, where you can then play freely. Rather than taking vacations while work still clouds your mind and brings you stress, you can instead live freely and do what you want, when you want, with who you want, if you just make the decision to pay your dues NOW. 

In this episode, Matt discusses: 

• The importance of paying now, instead of playing
• Ways to pay your dues NOW and every day
• How to become proactive, rather than reactive
• The benefit of playing later, without stress and obligation
• A visualization exercise
• The expense of success increases with your age
• 4-step plan of action to make today matter

For the last quarter century, Rich Cardona has either been working, advancing his education, or serving our country.  Throughout that time, Rich has always had a voice in his head saying, "You aren't even reaching your full potential."  Rich found my that after successfully retiring from the Marine Corps in 2015 the reality is that often times he was disinterested, distracted, and ambivalent. He was meandering through life. Upon retirement, Rich had the thought that "nobody would give a sh*t that I flew a $24m aircraft", which led him to a short career with Amazon. In June 2018, he uprooted his life (and family) and ventured out into an unfamiliar landscape; entrepreneurship.  And now, he shares how he has absolute and total responsibility for everything wonderful, terrible, and unexpected that results of this life altering decision.

Throughout the next steps in his life, Rich has had a lot of experience in leadership. Despite this, he felt as if he was "just a number" working at Amazon and reflects how this "was a very unsettling feeling". Rich got tired of this after he saw his life moving in a negative direction. He then created a sense of urgency in his life and left. He now specializes in creating personal branding content for personnel and leaders. He strives to engage in authentic and candid chats that can allow audiences to see the makeup of companies' most influential personnel. In this new space, Rich feels fulfilled, satisfied and successful. And he is here to show us how to accomplish the same.

Together, Rich and Matt discuss:
- Lessons learned from the Marine Corps
- Taking the next step in your career
- Bringing leadership to any role, boosting your teams productivity
- "Run the race that you're in"
- How and why to create more urgency your life
- How to identify "fakers" and why hard work outlasts all
- Looking at what lies ahead in your life
- Develop the belief that you can create something
- Rich's definition of success
- MUCH More!

In this episode of the Define Success, we go over the difference between the abundant mindset and the scarcity mindset, and why it is crucial for all of us to have an abundant mindset!

Unlimited money, opportunities, growth, education and love for everyone in the world. Which sounds more desirable? The answer should be easy.

To help your mindset, we include eight ways to develop an abundant mindset, that you can work on TODAY!

Connor Meekins is a nutrition coach and the owner of LionFit. LionFit is a personal transformation company with a primary focus on nutrition coaching, health & fitness insights, and an elevated approach to day-to-day living. 

Outside of his work, Connor is a leader in the Austin community. He is someone who influences those around him, leans into his faith, and encourages his community to become the best version of themselves. 

In this conversation, we discuss how Connor took a leap of faith from corporate America and a high paying job. In his mid-20's, his leaders at work would applaud him for "making the top 1% for your age". Even though the money and status was great, Connor had a hole in his heart that could not be filled by his current path in life. 

Last August, Connor decided to walk away from his job and pursue entrepreneurship. He walked away from a six-figure job, and the only proof he had that this would work was previously earning $500 for a nutrition plan he wrote for someone. 

Now Connor is living in his true purpose, established himself as a leader, and has big ambitions to grow even more. 

Steven Pesavento is an active investor who helps clients build wealth & cashflow through Commercial Real Estate Investments at VonFinch Capital. As Host of The Investor Mindset Show & Certified High Performance Coach he has raised $10’s of Millions dollars, invested into $100’s of millions of real estate. Beginning in Single Family as an operator he flipped over 200 houses in under 3 years, prior to expanding into Commercial to focus on building a business around working with his ideal client - successful high income earners like himself
who are investing to create flexibility and independence. Through his Top Rated Podcast and Private Investor Community he brings together real estate investors to not only learn, but also how to put these strategies to work in their lives. Steven can be found at www.VonFinch.com

One of the biggest keys to success that Steven shares is the importance of an abundance mindset. Way too often, we limit ourselves and our mindset, our potential and our finances. Despite what you may believe, it IS possible to break away from the middle class. It IS possible to develop a strong mindset. And it IS possible to live a life of success, abundance, and financial freedom. As we go through life, you need to think and act like the top 1% in order to be the 1%. The best way to do this is to not run away from problems, but to "embrace problems, look for a solution and profit from that problem.

Together, Steven and Matt discuss:

• Finding passion in your career choice
• The process of starting a real estate portfolio
• Taking the leap to what you want and deserve in life
• Leaving a successful business because you "are on the wrong mountain top"
• How success is more than just money and achievements
• "Behind every big move is a set of beliefs"
• Lessons learned from books like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "The 4 Hour Work Week"
• Playing the long game of creating your own path
• Finding mentors and people that we look up to
• Re-wiring your subconscious mind through immersing yourself with new information
• How Steven defines success
• Overcoming a fear of money
