How to Stop Comparing Yourself So You Can Be at Peace w/ Matthew Hussey
“When I’m honest with myself about how pathetic I am in certain areas, that’s really helpful”
That might sound harsh but it’s true. The moment you can be obsessively HONEST with yourself, that's the moment everything changes. My guest this week on the Own YOUR Future Podcast understands this on a deep level.
Matthew Hussey’s journey to becoming the leading DATING EXPERT and confidence coach for women started when he was 11 years old! He read Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and it set him on a path at an early age. He realized that the things you believe about yourself or think you’re “stuck” with like anxiety, shyness, anger, being “bad” at relationships, etc – can actually be changed.
It’s those FOUNDATIONAL teachings that ultimately led to him becoming a New York Times bestselling author, international speaker, and relationship expert.
Matthew has the number one dating advice channel in the world. His YouTube videos have been viewed more than 470 million times and his content reaches over 10 million followers each week! But you’ll hear Matthew share things he’s rarely ever been asked or shared publicly – not even on his own channel! Plus we cover:
💛Why you’ll never be able to ENJOY your success if you don’t do the inner work
💛How to have more moments of PEACE
💛Why it’s ok to SETTLE
💛How to be more CONFIDENT
💛What leaves men desperately UNHAPPY and how to fix it
You’re going to want to save this one to your favorites to refer back to!
Matthew is the real deal when it comes to helping you become better in your relationships and after helping so many women become more confident and find love, he’s learned a few things that we can all benefit from.

Grab my book The Underdog Advantage for FREE (just cover s&h) and find out why being underestimated is the greatest advantage you can have.
We all have stories from the past that hold us back and that negativity is cumulative, it builds up over time. Your unsupportive teacher, a parent, negative friends, the news…
It used to impact me too until one day I just decided to use the power of can’t and turn it into I MUST!
And that’s what Alex Hormozi and I talked about this earlier this week so if you missed that episode you MUST go listen to it!
We both know what it’s like to have people underestimate you, not believe in you, doubt you…
And we both know what it’s like to go for it anyway, push past insecurities, and turn negativity into fuel for success.
In this quick episode today I want you to walk away knowing:
👏 You’re in total control of your destiny
👏 Why being an underdog is your greatest advantage
👏 The 3 things you need to ensure success (Alex used these)
👏 How to become unstoppable
Thanks so much for listening to this episode. It really means a lot and I hope it serves you and helps you see that those things you think are disadvantages are truly your greatest superpowers.
Let me know in the comments your greatest takeaway from this episode. And why not make today the day you turn “I can’t” into “I MUST!”

Take the Shot or Lose the Chance w/ Alex Hormozi
“If you say you have no proof of anything, I’d say you’re DELUSIONAL”
This week’s episode with ALEX HORMOZI will change the way you think about starting with nothing, making decisions, and building a business.
I met Alex via text message and we developed a friendship that I truly cherish and it’s been an honor to watch his meteoric rise both in business and social media.
It’s because Alex understands the value of learning from other people, self-education.
Whatever he’s going after, he finds those that are doing it at the highest level and seeks mentorship and guidance from those people…
And that’s why I’m super excited to share this episode with you so you can learn from Alex and take your life to the next level. You’ll walk away from this episode with…
☑️The power of conviction
☑️Why starting with NOTHING is the best place to start ☑️How to build confidence
☑️ A simple but powerful tool to gain clarity on WHY you make decisions (or really WHO you’re making decisions for)
☑️Why the goal of sales is to help people make decisions, not get stuck in the “miserable maybe”
☑️The pain that Dean cherishes and how you can reframe pain and use it as a benefit
This episode is full of actionable advice that you can put into practice today from someone who is playing the game at the highest level…
Alex Hormozi is an American entrepreneur and investor. He scaled four companies to $120M+ in cumulative sales across four different industries (software, service, ecommerce, and brick & mortar) in under 4 years without taking on outside capital.
He’s widely considered an acquisition and monetization expert. He and his wife Leila are the managing partners of Acquisition.com, a portfolio of companies funded by their own private wealth. The companies generate $200,000,000 per year in aggregate. He also makes mistakes and candidly shares his painful lessons with aspiring entrepreneurs to help them avoid his pitfalls.
I can’t wait for you to listen to this episode because it has the power to completely transform your life if you not only listen but put what we share into action.
And stay until the end when Dean asks Alex who he’d like to thank… it’s a moment that will really make you think about the people in your life.

Overcome Insecurities and Achieve Success
Have you ever felt not worthy, not good enough, or not lovable? I think we’ve all felt that way at some point right? No matter your level of success, no matter how much personal development you do… these feelings and emotions still come up from time to time.
No one would ever think that despite all of Lewis Howes’ success he STRUGGLED with those same feelings of unworthiness, imposter syndrome, not feeling lovable. But he did because of a PAINFUL past that was holding him back from becoming the man he truly wanted to be…
And the biggest difference between Lewis and his success and those who stay stuck in their lives is… Lewis put in the WORK and if Lewis can do it, so can YOU!
That’s what I’m breaking down for you in this quick episode…
The work of HEALING your past and using it as fuel for the future, the work of being VULNERABLE and asking for help, the work of stepping into your GREATNESS and making an impact on the world…
Because if you’re going to blame your past for what went wrong… why don’t you blame your past for giving you a hunger for more?
After being in this industry for 27 years, I’ve seen that the human condition is the same year after year but it’s the ones who are willing to be BRAVE, to admit their faults, to see the gaps and gain capabilities to fill them that achieve the life their DESIRE and DESERVE.
You are good enough. You are lovable. You are worthy of achieving your dreams and goals. I want to help you realize that.
Enjoy this quick episode and if you got something out of it, share it with a few friends that near to hear this today and if you haven't, make sure you go listen to the full episode with Lewis. Click here to listen.
See ya soon.

How to Create a Life You’re Obsessed With | Behind the Scenes of my interview with Marie Forleo
The last few years have taught us a lot but one of the biggest things I’ve seen is people are starting to reimagine what’s possible, a renewed sense of hope… they’re starting to DREAM again.
So if you’ve ever had a dream this episode is for you.
So many of you are in the middle of a TRANSFORMATION or a reinvention and I think that’s pretty amazing because as my dear friend Marie Forleo said: “We need the diversity of expressions to have the harmony, the orchestra that’s going to heal our world. And we need everyone to play their own part.”
There were so many incredible moments from my conversation with Marie, and I couldn’t help but think about my amazing wife Lisa the whole time we were talking because I’m watching her go through a season of transformation, of discovering her UNIQUE gifts so she can leave her own legacy…
And I think a lot of you will relate, especially if you’re a mom or woman in business, but this episode has something for EVERYONE including:
✅ Questions to ask yourself so you can LET GO of judgment and take action
✅ Why having a coach is the GREATEST gift anyone can have
✅ The importance of discovering YOUR unique gifts
✅ Why being uncomfortable is a GOOD thing
✅ How being true to yourself is the ULTIMATE recipe for success
I have no doubt you’ll come away from this episode ready to take inspired, uncomfortable action toward making your dreams a reality because Marie was once a bartender and dance teacher with a BIG dream and today she has a thriving business, worked with Oprah and helped millions of people just like you realize their dreams.
Now it’s YOUR TURN.
Remember, someone else's success is just evidence it’s POSSIBLE for you too.
Let me know in the comments, what’s YOUR big dream? 👇
