You can spend thousands on sleep supplements, fancy mattresses, or wearables — but if you're breathing wrong while you sleep, none of it matters. In this episode, Brian Gubernick breaks down a simple, almost ridiculous-sounding hack that's made a measurable difference in his performance: mouth taping. Yep — taping your mouth shut before bed. It's not a TikTok stunt. It's science-backed. By training your body to breathe through your nose, you can improve recovery, hydration, heart rate variability, and morning energy. Brian shares his personal data, explains the research behind nasal breathing, and reminds us that sometimes the biggest performance gains come from the smallest tweaks. Because when you change how you breathe, you change how you sleep. And when you change how you sleep, you change how you perform. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

Dr. Wayne Dyer once said, "Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change." Sounds simple, until you actually live it. In today's episode, Brian Gubernick breaks down how one shift in perspective can completely rewrite your outcomes. From Slack turning a failed video game into a $27B business, to Netflix reframing DVDs into digital dominance, to Airbnb transforming air mattresses into a global hospitality movement -- every major breakthrough starts with a new lens. Brian unpacks how your brain's filters -- your experiences, beliefs, and expectations -- quietly shape what you see and what you miss. And more importantly, how to train your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to spot opportunity instead of obstacles. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

High performers crave clarity. We want the full picture before we move — but in business and life, waiting for 100% certainty is often just a way of stalling. In this episode, Brian unpacks Jeff Bezos' "70% Rule" from his 2017 Amazon shareholder letter — the idea that most decisions should be made with about 70% of the information you wish you had. You'll learn the difference between one-way doors (irreversible decisions) and two-way doors (reversible ones), and why the best leaders operate with decision velocity — acting fast, learning faster, and compounding progress over time. If you're sitting on a decision right now, this episode will push you to label it, make the call, and move forward. Because perfect information doesn't make you smarter — it makes you slower. Progress belongs to the decisive. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

Unwritten laws shape our lives more than we realize. The Dunning-Kruger effect reveals that confidence often outpaces competence. Embracing Murphy's Law encourages preparedness over pessimism. Shortening deadlines can actually heighten focus, thanks to Parkinson's Law. Writing down problems helps clarify solutions. Taking extreme ownership fosters accountability. The 80-20 rule reminds us to prioritize impactful actions. Delaying decisions strategically can prevent costly mistakes. These principles equip you to lead with clarity and purpose.

Brian reflects on lessons learned during a NYC Marathon weekend and explores the complexities of drifting friendships. He introduces Hanlon's Razor, urging listeners not to assume malice when mistakes may stem from ignorance or miscommunication. Delving into human nature, he shares how we often default to believing others mean to harm us. The discussion also covers practical applications of this perspective in professional and personal settings, reminding everyone to pause, seek understanding, and foster healthier relationships.

Everyone loves to talk about "work-life balance." Calendar hacks. Perfect routines. Equal attention to everything that matters. Sounds enlightened, right? Except it's a lie. In today's episode, Brian pulls a powerful lesson from one of the most impactful books ever written: The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. The book demolishes the idea that balance is something you maintain. The truth? Balance is a myth… and chasing it is slowing you down. Achieving extraordinary results requires a season of focused imbalance — going all in on the thing that matters most. But there's a catch: you must counterbalance. Life isn't a scale aiming for stillness; it's a pendulum in constant motion. Lean into your big goals — scaling a business, crushing a training block, making a major move — and then swing the energy back before something breaks. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

Growth has a price. And too often, the receipt shows up in the form of relationships that no longer fit the future you're building. In today's episode, Brian breaks down one of the toughest truths he ever learned from a mentor: you will outgrow people — and that's okay. Not because you're better than them. Not because loyalty doesn't matter. But because the higher you climb, the fewer people are comfortable at that altitude. Brian shares personal stories from business and life — moments where ambition created distance, where changing standards exposed misalignment, and where staying loyal to comfort would have meant abandoning potential. He walks through a clear framework for auditing the connections in your world: energy, values, vision, and reciprocity. And he challenges you to face the tension between love and loyalty… and the purpose you're called to live out. If you're serious about becoming the person you're capable of being, you'll have to get comfortable letting some chapters end. That's not betrayal — that's evolution. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

In this episode, Brian Gubernick breaks down one of the biggest lies in business: that showing up is enough. Pros in sports spend countless hours preparing their bodies and minds so when the lights come on, their performance isn't a surprise — it's the inevitable result of disciplined work. So why do so many entrepreneurs wing it? Brian unpacks the athlete's blueprint — conditioning, film study, visualization, recovery, and ritual — and translates each principle into the sport of business. You'll learn how elite performers build a pre-game routine that eliminates doubt, elevates confidence, and ensures you don't just hope to show up strong… you expect to. If every sales call, negotiation, tough conversation, and leadership moment is your game day, then preparation is your competitive advantage. Amateurs rise to the occasion in their imagination; pros fall to the level of their training. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.
