How to Unlock the Ultimate Version of YOU
In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together four incredible stories that reveal what it truly takes to break through fear, doubt, and pain and step into your ultimate potential. Lewis Howes, Jamie Kern Lima, Damon West, and Rod Carew each share deeply personal moments that will challenge the way you think about yourself, your past, and what’s really possible for your future. If you’ve ever felt like your mistakes disqualified you from greatness or your fear kept you playing small, this episode will show you the truth: you were made to do something extraordinary with your life.
Lewis Howes opens up about one of the most powerful lessons I’ve ever heard on self-worth. He breaks down how the fear of judgment, not failure, is what holds most people back, and how learning to love and accept yourself is the real path to success. His vulnerability is a masterclass in healing and belief. Then, Jamie Kern Lima takes us straight into the heart of courage. You’ll hear how fear shaped her early life, how she faced it head-on, and how she built IT Cosmetics by choosing faith over fear... over and over again. Her reminder that fear is a liar will light a fire in you to stop letting worry and doubt rob your destiny.
Damon West delivers one of the most powerful spiritual lessons I’ve ever heard. After surviving prison and addiction, he shares how surrender, not control, is the key to freedom. His story about learning the “Serenity Line” is a life-changer. You’ll hear what happens when you let go of what’s not yours to carry and start focusing only on what you can control: your thoughts, your words, your emotions, and your actions. And baseball legend Rod Carew reminds us that mental toughness and gratitude aren’t just keys to performance, they’re the foundation of purpose. From handling slumps on the field to losing his beloved daughter Michelle, Rod’s story is a breathtaking example of turning pain into purpose and keeping a promise that continues to save lives.
Every one of these conversations reveals the truth that’s been the heartbeat of my entire life: your past doesn’t disqualify you... it prepares you. The very things you think make you “less than” are what qualify you to impact others. When you embrace your imperfections, face your fears, and surrender control, you start unlocking the ultimate version of you.
