In 'The Purpose Driven Life', Rick Warren guides readers through a personal 42-day spiritual journey to transform their understanding of life's purpose. The book addresses three fundamental questions: Why am I alive? Does my life matter? What on Earth am I here for? Warren emphasizes that real meaning and significance come from understanding and fulfilling God’s eternal purposes for each person. The book is divided into short chapters, each designed to be read as a daily devotional, and includes God's five purposes for life: to love God, to be part of His family, to become like Christ, to serve Him, and to tell others about Him[2][4][5].

Are you letting self-doubt run your life—or are you finally ready to fight back?
In this Mashup episode, I’m pulling together life-changing conversations with some of the most mentally tough, spiritually grounded, and relentlessly committed leaders I’ve ever sat down with: Stephen A. Smith, Michael Chandler, Leila Hormozi, Ryan Hawk, and of course, you're going to hear from me too. Every one of us shares a common thread—confidence wasn’t something we were born with, it was built brick by brick through the actions we took and the beliefs we rewired.
I open up about the painful origins of self-doubt, how those voices in your head? They were planted there by someone else—and they don’t belong to you. I break down the actual steps I use to build real self-confidence, the kind rooted in keeping promises to yourself, stacking small wins, and giving yourself credit where it counts—your intentions. Because if you don’t believe you deserve to win, you’ll never claim the life waiting for you.
You’ll hear Michael Chandler talk about faith over fear in the literal cage fight of life, and how preparation—not perfection—is what fuels his self-worth. Leila Hormozi shares the raw truth of managing anxiety and using fear as a compass, not a stop sign. Stephen A. Smith brings fire as he talks about owning the stage, mastering your craft, and never negotiating with your commitments. And Ryan Hawk drills into the leadership side of confidence—why your environment and the temperature of your inner circle are everything.
This episode is loaded with real talk, real tools, and real breakthroughs. There’s nothing surface level here. It’s about how to overcome the lies you’ve believed and step into the version of yourself that already exists—you just need to meet them.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why self-doubt isn’t yours to carry—and how to eliminate it
- The process I use to build unshakable self-confidence
- Michael Chandler’s mindset for stepping into the cage with nothing to lose
- How fear is often a mask for your next breakthrough (Leila Hormozi)
- Why your inner circle either lifts your thermostat or cools it down (Ryan Hawk)
- Stephen A. Smith’s killer mentality: “The audience is waiting to hear from me”
This episode isn’t just about confidence—it’s a roadmap to reclaim your identity, your purpose, and your belief in what’s possible for your life. Now it’s your turn to take action.
