653: How to Stay Laser-Focused On Your Dreams (Even When Everything Goes Wrong) with Seth & Tori Bolt
Episode 653
Wednesday, September 16, 2026 • Duration 59:58
One thing I've learned in life is that achieving your biggest goals rarely happens exactly the way you think it will. Things go wrong. Plans fall apart. You get knocked down, and sometimes you have to start all over again. But just because the path changes doesn't mean you have to give up on the vision.
And today's guests have gone through all of that and ultimately built what my wife and I consider sacred ground—a place that has taken our marriage and relationship to a whole new level.
Today, I'm joined by Seth and Tori Bolt, the husband-and-wife team behind Bolt Farm Treehouse. Seth spent 23 years as a founding member of the Grammy-nominated band NEEDTOBREATHE before stepping away to start a family and focus on the business he and Tori built together.
What started as a treehouse Seth built with his dad for their honeymoon eventually became an 11-year entrepreneurial journey filled with incredible highs and several brutal setbacks. Despite all of the challenges, they now have a world-renowned mountaintop destination designed to help couples recharge, reconnect and deepen their love for each other.
In our conversation, Seth and Tori share their incredible journey building Bolt Farm Treehouse, along with the setbacks and sacrifices they faced along the way. We also talk about staying grounded through seasons of uncertainty, creating unbelievable experiences that bring people closer together, and the lessons they've learned from more than a decade of pursuing their dream.

652: How to Build Your Network to Achieve Your Goals with Jayson Gaignard
Episode 652
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 45:49
Nobody achieves anything meaningful alone. Yet, we're led to believe that success means being "self-made."
The truth is, the relationships you surround yourself with can either keep you where you are or help bridge the gap between where you are today and the person that you aspire to become.
Today, I'm joined by my good friend Jayson Gaignard, author of Community Made: The Truth About Success and the Relationships That Create It and founder of Mastermind Talks. When Jayson got married, he had only two people at his bachelor party: his brother and brother-in-law. But today, he's created an extraordinary network of entrepreneurs and leaders and just recently sold 20,000 copies of his book on Kickstarter, despite having roughly 2,500 Instagram followers.
In our conversation, Jayson shares three simple questions to help you intentionally decide who belongs in your life and why generosity is the foundation of meaningful relationships.
He also explains why asking someone "How can I help you?" doesn't actually help the person you want to help, how to make people feel genuinely seen, and how you can build relationships with extraordinary people even if you don't have money, status, influence, or an existing network.

651: How to Fix Your Metabolism, Build Muscle, and Lose Fat Fast with JJ Virgin
Episode 651
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 • Duration 01:01:53
What if losing weight is actually making your metabolism worse?
JJ Virgin has spent more than 40 years studying nutrition, fitness, and metabolism. She's a four-time New York Times bestselling author who has helped millions of people lose fat, build muscle, and improve their health.
And she believes we've been taught to think about weight loss completely wrong.
In her new book, The Metabolism Fix, JJ explains why getting lighter doesn't necessarily mean you're getting healthier. Losing the wrong kind of weight can leave you weaker, slow your metabolism, and make it easier to regain fat.
So why does metabolism seem to slow as we get older? Why can dieting repeatedly make the problem worse? Is cardio actually helping you lose body fat? And what are GLP-1 medications really doing to your muscle?
JJ also explains why the number on your scale may be one of the least useful ways to measure your progress, and what you should be paying attention to instead..
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Build Muscle And Lose Fat Fast
Why Your Metabolism Isn't Broken
The Scale Can Damage Your Metabolism

650: Mark Allen Ruegg: A Living Miracle
Episode 650
Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 40:42
What would you do if you were told you were diagnosed with cancer and had only 4 to 6 months to live? That's exactly what happened to today's guest.
Two and a half years ago, Mark Allen Ruegg was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had already spread to his liver and lymph nodes. His doctors hoped chemotherapy could stabilize the cancer and give him more time, but Mark wasn't willing to accept that as the best possible outcome. He wanted to do everything in his power to beat the odds.
After discovering the documentary Heal, Mark began taking an integrative approach that combined conventional treatment with major changes to his diet, meditation, spirituality, exercise, stress, and mindset. Within months, his scans showed no evidence of cancer, and even his doctor was stunned when he could no longer find the tumor in Mark's pancreas.
But Mark's story didn't end there. Three months ago, a tumor was discovered in his pancreas again. The fears and unknowns came back with a vengeance, sending him into what he describes as a deep, dark place.
In our conversation, Mark shares how that recurrence forced him to confront his fear, return to the fundamentals of his Healing Recipe, and recognize the missing ingredient he needed most: unwavering faith.
We talked about why healing doesn't have to be an either/or choice between conventional and holistic medicine, what it means to surrender without giving up, and how the combination of unwavering faith and extraordinary effort can help you navigate even the most difficult moments of your life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Why Mark refused to accept a terminal prognosis
Combining conventional treatment with an integrative approach
The lifestyle changes Mark made after his diagnosis
How Mark's cancer disappeared after his initial diagnosis
Why Mark believes fear became his greatest challenge
What happened when Mark's cancer returned
Unwavering faith and extraordinary effort leads to results

Episode 649
Wednesday, August 19, 2026 • Duration 33:57
I've always believed that no matter what happens in our lives, we can choose who we become. Your circumstances may limit what you can do, but they shouldn't prevent you from becoming the person you want to be. No matter how far you've fallen or how hopeless your situation might feel, your past does not have to equal your future.
Today, I'm joined by Robert Valentine. Robert's story is one of the most powerful examples of personal transformation I've ever heard. After years of addiction and spending over 10 years in prison, Robert had a huge breakthrough and decided to take responsibility and change his life. During his third prison sentence, he discovered the Achieve Your Goals podcast and began focusing on personal development to completely transform himself from the inside out.
In our conversation, Robert shares how he rebuilt his identity one day at a time and kept the promises he made to himself. He also shares how he lost 90 pounds, earned his college degree, became a certified yoga instructor, and ultimately rebuilt relationships with his family.
His story is a powerful reminder that no matter where you are today, you can still change who you become and create a better future for yourself.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Why Your Past Does Not Equal Your Future
It Starts With You, Nobody Is Coming To Save You
Take Responsibility For The Life You Want

648: The Miracle Mind: How Five Minutes Each Morning Can Rewire Your Brain—and Your Life
Episode 648
Wednesday, August 12, 2026 • Duration 01:03:40
The first few minutes after you wake up are far more important than you even realize. Before your mind gets flooded with emails, notifications, news, and everyone else's priorities, there's a window that will influence your thoughts, emotions, and how you approach the rest of your day.
Today, I'm joined by my good friend Jim Kwik, a world-renowned coach and expert in memory, learning, and cognitive performance. His first book, Limitless, transformed the way I think about my own brain and helped me improve my memory after the brain damage I suffered in my car accident. His upcoming book, Limitless Daily, gives you 366 simple lessons designed to help you train your brain and master your mind in just five minutes a day.
In our conversation, Jim explains why you should put your "mind before media" and "intention before interruption" every morning, how small daily actions compound into extraordinary change, and why strengthening your human intelligence is more important than ever in the age of AI. He also shares practical strategies to improve your focus, protect your ability to think for yourself, and intentionally become the person that you aspire to be.

647: Freedom From Suffering with Peter Crone (REPLAY)
Episode 647
Wednesday, August 5, 2026 • Duration 51:49
What if the limitations you believe about yourself aren't the truth but a prison of your mind's design? Today, we'll explore how our deepest struggles—feelings of fear, not being enough, or childhood trauma—are rooted not in reality but in subconscious stories we've come to accept as true. Those invisible narratives keep us in a state of suffering and prevent us from reaching our full potential.
Peter Crone, known as The Mind Architect, has helped world-class athletes, executives, and everyday people rewire their subconscious beliefs and unlock "the power of infinite possibility." Having tragically lost both of his parents by the age of 17, Peter learned firsthand the pain of loss and the impact of unconscious trauma. But rather than letting it define him, he used it as a catalyst to understand the inner architecture of the mind, and now helps others break free from their own constraints.
In this conversation, Peter guides me through a live coaching experience and unpacks the nature of emotional suffering, the origins of limiting beliefs, and why healing starts with awareness. If you've ever felt stuck, burdened by the events in your past, or disconnected from your true self, this episode is a masterclass on navigating negative emotions and returning to a place of freedom, love, and possibility.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
How early life trauma wires subconscious beliefs that shape our identity.
The difference between emotional pain and psychological suffering.
Why affirmations often don't work—and the language used to dissolve limiting beliefs.
The 10 "primal prisons" that keep us stuck in patterns of fear, shame, and inadequacy.
How to access inner freedom through self-inquiry and conscious awareness.
A powerful mindset shift for men and women around emotional expression and empathy.

646: What You Want Is Inside of You with Hal Elrod
Episode 646
Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 37:46
Why is it that we'll spend most of our lives believing that happiness, peace, and fulfillment are waiting for us somewhere in the future? Maybe it'll happen after the next promotion, once our finances improve, or when our relationships get better. But what if everything you've been searching for has been not only available to you, but has been inside of you all along?
In today's episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest assumptions we've been conditioned to believe: our circumstances determine our emotional well-being. I'll share why lasting peace isn't something we create by changing our lives, but something we uncover by changing our consciousness.
I'll also explain why resisting reality is the true source of emotional suffering, how accepting reality can create freedom instead of complacency, and why learning to choose your mental and emotional state consciously may be the greatest superpower you can develop.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Why everything you're searching for already exists within you.
The hidden cost of resisting reality instead of accepting it.
How to consciously choose your mental and emotional state.
Why inner peace creates better decisions, relationships, and results.
A simple perspective shift that can transform every moment of your life.

645: The AI Framework That Will Change Everything For You with Geoff Woods
Episode 645
Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 53:18
A year ago, I had serious concerns about the impact AI could have on humanity. Today, I use it in nearly every area of my life, from my business to my marriage and even with my kids. But learning how to use AI effectively requires a lot more thought and intention, and treating it less like a smarter version of Google.
Today, I'm sitting down with my good friend Geoff Woods. Geoff is the author of the #1 international bestseller The AI-Driven Leader: Harness AI to Make Faster, Smarter Decisions. He helps individuals and executive teams use AI not as a replacement for human thinking, but as a thought partner that helps them solve problems, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions.
In our conversation, Geoff shares his CRIT framework and explains how it can completely transform the way you use AI. He also shares how he created an AI marriage coach and how his executive assistant used AI to completely redefine her role, earning two promotions and putting herself on a path to becoming Geoff's COO.
Whether you're skeptical of AI or already using it every day, this episode will challenge the way you think about what's possible.

644: Peptides: The Real Game-Changer for Your Health with Jay Campbell
Episode 644
Wednesday, July 8, 2026 • Duration 47:27
The healthcare system was designed to manage symptoms, but too often, it fails to address the root cause of why we're tired, inflamed, overweight, and not feeling our best. And with so many people relying on prescription drugs without understanding the deeper connection between their mindset, lifestyle, and biology, it can become very easy to feel overwhelmed by what it really takes to heal and thrive.
That's why I'm excited to introduce you to my friend, Jay Campbell. Jay is a health optimization expert, six-time international bestselling author, and one of the most respected voices in the world on peptides, hormone optimization, and longevity. For more than two decades, he's been researching and teaching people how to move beyond normal and struggling, and start living with more energy, vitality, and control over their health.
In our conversation, Jay breaks down what peptides are, why GLPs and other peptide therapies are on the cusp of becoming one of the biggest breakthroughs in longevity, but also why they're not magic bullets or shortcuts. We also discussed why mindset can either amplify or sabotage your health, how to take more personal responsibility for your healing, and how to find purpose in pain so you can grow through life's most difficult challenges.
