Drawing from his own experience with burnout and achievement-driven anxiety, he explains why defining what “enough” looks like is essential for protecting relationships and well-being, how solving for peace can create a stronger foundation for success, and why anxiety should be viewed as a signal rather than something to eliminate. Dr. Delony also explores the importance of building margin, separating identity from achievement, and listening to what the body is trying to communicate. ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com   YouTube: https://youtu.be/k3fydZH7ejE  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-john-delony-best-selling-author-podcaster-mental/id1484783544  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Ya78CnHZQAmf1yHsnGnzQ  ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary

Drawing on neuroscience and his work with people experiencing anxiety, panic, and post-traumatic stress, he explains how unresolved experiences can keep the nervous system activated long after a threat has passed. Dr. Wood breaks down how education and nervous-system awareness can help reshape these responses, why accumulated trauma can make future adversity more difficult to handle, and how resolving past experiences can build greater resilience. He also explores how his TIPP Method differs from traditional talk therapy and why understanding how the mind processes trauma can create lasting emotional change. ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com   YouTube: https://youtu.be/I8EI1tHisQE  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-don-wood-ceo-at-inspired-performance-institute-unlocking/id1484783544  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3fqUZBrJYbegKzHaGlfnvp  ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary

A Grammy-winning producer and songwriter, he built the roster that launched Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes, and The Judds while racking up over 1,500 Top Ten records across country, pop, and Christian music. He simultaneously served as Lieutenant Governor of California under Jerry Brown, stepping in as Acting Governor whenever Brown left the state. Every major label has tried to buy Curb Records. He's turned them all down. ➡️ Show Links https://www.instagram.com/curbrecords/ https://x.com/CurbRecords  ➡️ Podcast Sponsors Hubspot - https://hubspot.com/   Huel - https://huel.com/scott (Code: scott) NetSuite - https://netsuite.com/scottclary/  Framer - https://framer.com/design (Code: SuccessStory) LinkedIn Ads - https://linkedin.com/scottclary  Upwork - https://upwork.com/  Dell - https://dell.com/dell-pro   AutoPilot - https://www.joinautopilot.com/landing  Cohesity - https://www.cohesity.com/datacloud  Whatnot - https://www.whatnot.com/ Monarch - https://www.monarch.com/ (Code: success) Cash App - https://cash.app/ (Code: cashapp10) MyFitnessPal - https://podcasts.myfitnesspal.com (Code: SCOTT) Scribe - https://scribe.how/success (Code: SuccessStory) Noom - https://www.noom.com/  ➡️ Talking Points 00:00 – Intro   02:15 – Why Mike Curb Never Sold His Label   04:38 – The Secret to 60 Years in Business   08:49 – Starting a Record Label at 18   13:40 – Building a Business Around Creatives   21:18 – Can Anyone Really Spot a Hit?   25:54 – Sponsor Break   28:43 – How Creatives Survive Failure   32:20 – Becoming MGM President at 24   40:12 – How AI Will Change Music   44:33 – Sponsor Break   49:08 – Why AI Won’t Replace Artists   53:08 – How to Survive Every Tech Shift   1:02:00 – Reimagining Classic Music With AI   1:03:51 – Why Giving Back Gives Success Purpose   1:07:16 – The Most Important Life Lesson
