I'm beyond excited to share this week's podcast with you, as I have literally been waiting for over 20 years to talk with today's guest! In 1999, I read the book Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch for the first time, but it wouldn't be the last. In fact, you'll hear today about how that one book has positively impacted my life more than any other. In Neale's newest book, The Essential Path: Making the Daring Decision to Be Who You Truly Are , he explores how feelings of alienation hav...

Has Scribing (aka "Journaling") transformed your life as it has mine? Needless to say, Scribing is a key part of the Miracle Morning S.A.V.E.R.S. and an incredible way to achieve breakthrough insights, solidify your commitments, experience more gratitude, and generate clarity and motivation on a daily basis. Yanik Silver is living proof of this. As someone I've admired for over a decade, I couldn't wait to get my hands on his latest creation: The Cosmic Journal , in which he presents a hand-writ...

What kinds of music do you prefer to listen to? Do you ever consider how that music – and specifically the lyrics – might be impacting your subconscious mind? Personally, I used to listen to music based purely on the sound (see: hip-hop), and although I sang along (mindlessly), I typically didn't pay much attention to the words I was singing, or the impact they might be having on my subconscious. For example, in high school, I regularly blasted rap music (such as Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre) th...

Jim Rohn was one of my greatest mentors. He was a master of presenting complex ideas in an extraordinarily simple way, he was funny, and he had an incredible gift as a speaker and presenter. In fact, a single quote of his, "Your level of success will seldom exceed your level of personal development" was what inspired me to create the Miracle Morning. For 18 years, his business partner was Kyle Wilson - the founder of Jim Rohn International and YourSuccess.com. He worked to promote Jim all over t...

Making mindfulness part of your daily life, especially when you've never done it before, can be incredibly difficult. In fact, many beginners struggle to stick with it. They get distracted by their thoughts, think that they're not good enough at meditation, and ultimately give up before experiencing the life-enhancing benefits that are available to all of us. Cory Allen understands this well. He's the host of the Astral Hustle podcast and author of Now Is The Way: An Unconventional Approach To M...

Few books have made as profound an impact on my life as much as Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It , as that one book quite possibly saved my life (literally). You'll hear why that is today on the podcast, as I had the opportunity to engage in a highly anticipated conversation with the author of one of my all-time favorite books, Kamal Ravikant. Most importantly, you're about to discover why loving yourself – actively and unconditionally – may be one of the most important things you can ...

On last week's podcast, I shared " Why 2019 Was the Worst Year of My Life " (as in by far the most difficult). Being that open and vulnerable was challenging, but your feedback, love, and encouragement was incredible. It's clear that a lot of us had hard years – and like me, you're committing to making 2020 your best year ever. For me, this includes seeing and experiencing the perfection of our lives, and the true joy that comes along with seeing the perfection in yourself. This doesn't mean tha...

Today's episode was tough to record, as it's the most vulnerable I've ever been on the podcast. You'll hear me reveal why 2019 was the most difficult year of my life—by far. I spent most of the year suffering from debilitating anxiety, overwhelming depression, and driven by FEAR. For months, I suffered in silence, wondering what in the hell was wrong with me. I was afraid of being judged, of letting my friends and business partners down, and of never getting my sense of optimism back. Finally, I...

Whether you are an entrepreneur, parent, and/or a provider, it's easy to forget that at the end of your life, your loved ones won't remember the paychecks you took home, the mortgage payments you made, or even what you achieved in your career. What they will remember is the time you spent with them, who it helped them become, and how you contributed to their emotional well-being and quality of life. I learned this the hard way. When I was diagnosed with cancer several years ago, I said that my f...

Achieving anything worthwhile is difficult, especially when you decide to do it alone. Human beings are tribal creatures, and most of us can benefit from some form of structure and community to turn our biggest dreams into reality. In today's special episode (Part 1 of 2), my Chief Miracle Worker and guest-host, Chip Franks, is talking with our friend, Akshay Nanavati, about the game-changing power of having an "accountability buddy" — someone who challenges you to move beyond your comfort zone,...

When I first published The Miracle Morning back in 2012, I was thinking small. I was committed to sharing the daily practice that changed my life, but I was only thinking I'd sell a few thousand copies. But then I started seeing a flood of emails and reviews from people about how the Miracle Morning had enabled them to make profound transformations in their lives, as well, so I committed to a bigger mission of changing millions of lives, one morning at a time . Then, I met Honorée Corder. She wa...

As the name implies, the Thanksgiving holiday is generally a time to give thanks for everything that we're grateful for – but is there more to it than that? Can there be more to your practice of gratitude than simply stating what you're thankful for while you're gathered around the dinner table this Thursday? In fact, there's a huge difference between passive gratitude and active appreciation. People who practice active appreciation don't just experience greater happiness in life - they have the...

Chip Franks – my close friend and Chief Miracle Worker – is going to share several tools and techniques you can use to help with your own meditation pract...

Earlier this year, I accidentally FaceTimed a man named Julio. Julio had just raised approximately $80,000 on a GoFundMe for today's guest, Cort Davies. At the time, I was in the process of starting a nonprofit that was to be called Support the Unsupported, and Cort was founding his own, doing exactly what I wanted to do. His nonprofit, Conscious Cancer, helps cancer patients get the knowledge, holistic resources, and money to help them navigate the stress of bills they can't pay. He's also crea...

At some point or another in our lives, we've probably been told that if we follow our passion, success will follow. However, if you're an entrepreneur, wantrepreneur, or have friends with struggling businesses, you can probably think of more than a handful of experiences that prove that saying wrong. Few understand this better than MJ DeMarco. He's the founder of The Fastlane Forum, a global business community featuring nearly 40,000 entrepreneurs, and Limos.com, a startup he built and grew into...

If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you've probably heard me say that it's not what you learn that really matters - it's what you live that ultimately impacts your life. Why? It's simple: if you don't apply what you've learned, it doesn't do you much good. However, the irony is that how you live begins with what you learn. We can only live a better life to the degree that we learn what exactly that looks like, and what it takes to live it. Few people know this better than Jonathan Lev...

When most people think of "intimacy" it's usually related to physical affection, sex, or romance. However, intimacy impacts a lot more than that—it's also crucial to effective parenting, entrepreneurship, and our relationships with ourselves. Few understand this better than intimacy expert Allana Pratt. She has served as a Guest Expert on The Jenny McCarthy Show, The Huffington Post, People, Forbes, CBS, TLC and FOX . She's also the author of (4) books, the host of the Intimate Conversations pod...

According to legend, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés issued a rather interesting order to his men as they began their conquest of the Aztec empire in 1519. The order was simple: Burn the boats. He wanted his men to realize that they had no opportunity to retreat, so they had to give this fight everything they had. Failure was no longer an option and winning this battle just became that much more important. There is much debate about the legitimacy of this story, both in reference to the true ...

Do you know what's standing in the way of creating and experiencing everything you want for your life? The answer might surprise you. Our cavemen and cavewomen ancestors were biologically programmed to do two things: survive and rest. Our agenda back then was simple: hunt and gather food so that we could sustain life, find shelter, and rest until we needed more food to eat or a new shelter to rest under. We were NOT, however, designed to achieve, to get ahead, or to be successful. So, to this da...
