196. Think Big with Mark Victor Hansen (author, Chicken Soup for the Soul; 500M+ copies sold) 📚
“The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.” — William Pollard
One of the most common questions I’m asked is, “How do I get motivated?”
It’s an excellent question.
When my motivation dips, it’s usually because it’s been a few days since I’ve caught up with someone who truly inspires me.
We all know those individuals — the ones who see possibilities where others see obstacles, who find that one compelling reason to act amidst a sea of doubts.
Their energy is contagious. Inspired, you can then channel it into your own creative pursuits.
One of the biggest thinkers I know is Mark Victor Hansen..
With partner Jack Canfield, Mark created Chicken Soup for the Soul, named “the publishing phenomenon of the decade” by Time Magazine. Mark has sold 500 million books in 54 languages, and licensed $1 billion in products.
He also holds a Guinness World Record for the most books on The New York Times Best Seller list at one time.
Today, Mark is the founder of the Mark Victor Hansen Library, a hybrid publishing company for authors who want to leave a legacy and make a difference in the world.
In this episode:
• How big thinking creates big results.
• Tips for aspiring authors who want their book to make a difference.
• Why most businesses fail.
• How to harness your unique gifts for massive abundance.
Let’s WIN THE DAY with Mark Victor Hansen!

190. Beyond Medicine with Dr. Greg Eckel (physician) 🧠
“The natural force within each of us is the greatest healer of all.” — Hippocrates
Are you taking your loved ones for granted? 🧐
Last year I was in the audience when Dr. Greg Eckel shared the story of how he lost his 42-year-old wife to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. It was a harrowing reminder that life is short.
The tragic ordeal led him deeper into the world of regenerative medicine — a journey that began when he noticed the overmedication of children while teaching preschool.
Today, Dr. Eckel is the founder of Energy4Life, a wellness and recharging center in Park City, Utah, and is quickly becoming a global leader in bioenergetics.
Dr. Eckel treats everything from brain health and longevity to chronic illness and hormone imbalance. He also works with patients who are suffering from long COVID and other conditions deemed untreatable.
His approach includes: energy fields; brain scans; mind-body unity; nutrition; genetics; brain frequency; ketamine-aided hypnotherapy; electro-acupuncture; exosomes and stem cells; light and magnetic devices; hyperbarics, and more.
Dr. Eckel is a regular contributor to major television networks, in demand as a keynote speaker, and author of “Shake It Off: An Integrative Approach to Parkinson’s Solutions.” He also served as the President of the Board of Naturopathic Medical Examiners.
In this episode, we go deep into the technology that’s accelerating wellness and reshaping the medical industry.
We’ll also explore:
• The defining moment that changed Dr. Eckel’s life forever.
• What drives degeneration in the body – and his holistic approach to healing.
• Why the medical system can be the very thing keeping you sick.
• How to upgrade your daily routine for more energy, longevity, and happiness.
Let’s WIN THE DAY with Dr. Greg Eckel!
