To experience success, you've got to grind yourself to the bone until the tank is empty —right? No, thank you. But how often do we do unnecessary work —simply because it feels like we should? I know I have, and I've met too many people who may be "successful" but are exhausted and burned the hell out. We need a new paradigm, and that's what my guest today is all about —Greg McKeown. Greg has dedicated his career to discovering why some people break through to the next level and others don’t. The definitive treatment of this issue is addressed in McKeown’s New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. As well as frequently being the #1 Time Management book on Amazon, this book challenges core assumptions about achievement to get to the essence of what really drives success. In this episode with Greg, we dive into his brand new book, Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most. 🎟️ PRE-ORDER & CLAIM YOUR $200 INSTANT COURSE 🎟️ I'm excited to announce my brand new book, Hustlers & Seekers: How To Crush It and Find Fulfillment Without Losing Your Mind.

You’re told to grind, 10X your goals, crush it —then you’re told to detach, create space and align with universal frequencies Deepak would foam the mouth for. So the question becomes —who’s right!?!?! Well, they both are: Humans are hard-wired to chase a compelling horizon, to strive for an inspiring future that gets us up in the morning. (We’ll call this, uh, Hustle.) But that’s not all. We’re also wired to seek answers, to learn about ourselves, to go inward, and create deep levels of meaning, purpose, and aliveness. (We’ll call this, uh, Seeking.) Here’s the problem: Too much Hustle leads to overwhelm, exhaustion, a nagging feeling of lack and “never enough.” Too much Seeking leads to minimal integration, not bringing a goal to life, and an endless cycle of insight.

On The Shortness Of Life by Seneca is one of my all-time essays, what I consider a “wake up” essential —and one I return to when I need a reminder to stop waiting. Here’s the truth: We don’t have much time left in this experience —and soon it will all be over. And yet, like Seneca says: We waste most of our time. We waste most of our energy. We waste most of our experience. Until one day —it hits us on how it’s almost over and mortality is staring us in the face and then: We realize it’s too late. We realize it’s nearly over. We realize it’s not happening. There’s countless passages I love inside On The Shortness Of Life by Seneca —but one stands out: "They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn." —Seneca, On The Shortness Of Life In other words: What are you waiting for? In this Quick Hit, I'll reveal 5 crucial lessons from Seneca's Essay On The Shortness Of Life.

There is no chance of you bringing your dreams to life rolling ‘solo’ or surrounding yourself with energy vampires who tell you to “play it safe” —who are triggered by your growth. Here’s the deal: Most people want to see you grow —until a certain point: Until your growth is a reflection of their drifting. Until your growth is a reflection of their wandering. Until your growth is a reflection of their being stuck. And then, almost as a subconscious tick —they’ll start to tell you: “It’s risky to go out on your own.” “Are you sure that makes sense?” “You should be realistic right now.” And they enable your excuses to ensure you stay the same so they feel a little better about themselves. (This isn’t a character flaw per say, this is human nature.) Instead, surround yourself with real friends who hold you to excellence —and compel you to dig deeper. In today's Quick Hit, I'll share 3 ways to level up your tribe for your ultimate success.

This coming week is going to be the best one of your entire year, right? Here's the deal: Aiming at nothing equals distraction. Aiming at nothing equals comparison. Aiming at nothing equals randomness. When I talk to people who are “stuck” or not making progress—I always ask: What does winning the week look like? There’s zero clarity. There’s zero specifics. There’s zero commitment. There’s zero focused work. I’ve been there too: I’d spend nine hour a week on fantasy football while setting the record for Bank of America overdrafts…7 according to Karl. So, what’s a better way to create the best week of your year? In this Quick Hit, you'll discover the 7 ways to ensure you have an incredible week.

Having a million dollars in your checking account will make you happy, right? Not quite —unless you've done the inner work of fulfillment, letting go of the past and loving who you are. Which is why we can acquire the corner office, the $250,000 salary and even the dream relationship: And still feel off and like something is missing.
