During today's conversation, here is a sneak-peek at what you'll hear: About my own drug addiction in my 20s, which I've never spoken about publicly – until now. Why addiction is our #1 health crisis today - and the major misconceptions surrounding addicts (including the fact that an "addiction" can be much more than just drugs or alcohol). Anna's story of how she developed an addiction to cocaine, alcohol, and Ambien, discovered the nature of her addiction while in rehab, and stayed sober after one unsuccessful experiment 18 years ago. The #1 most common trait that all addicts have in common. How you can help people currently struggling with addiction - and the importance of treating people with compassion instead of judgement.

Matt Recore (or "Matty" as I call him) is one of my best friends in the world. We met in 1999, our connection was instant, and we stayed up talking like schoolgirls until three o'clock in the morning. :^D Since then, we've developed an extraordinary friendship. He was a groomsman in my wedding, I became an ordained reverend to perform his and his wife's marriage ceremony, he was by my side in both hospitals, during my car accident and my cancer journey, and we both happen to be mildly obsessed UFC fans. :^) Matt was also always financially ahead of everyone else I knew. He became a millionaire and figured out how to build wealth at a young age, and has kept it going—and growing—ever since. Everyone wants to achieve financial freedom to live the life they want, and today Matt joins the podcast to share not just how he did it, but how you can do the same. He also introduces his new book, How to Purchase Real Estate at 0% Interest: To Help Sellers Get What They Want and To Accumulate Paid Off Houses Faster For Your Retirement, in which he shares stories of how he exploded his net worth.

A few years ago, I was invited to speak at an event for the non-profit One Life Fully Lived. While I was there, I saw David Osborn speak for the first time, and I was captivated by his rare blend of authenticity, transparency, expertise, and contribution. He shared his story of transforming from a troubled youth into a self-made millionaire, showing us where every dollar came from as he amassed a fortune worth over $70 million. I'd met a few other millionaires, but none at that level - and few who were willing to openly share the real secrets to their success in a sincere effort to help others. You may have seen my email on Monday announcing that David and I co-authored a new book, Miracle Morning Millionaires: What the Wealthy Do Before 8 AM That Will Make You Rich. On today's podcast episode, David shares his story, his background, and gets you inside the mind of someone who has achieved the financial freedom we'd all love to have. No matter who you are or what your personal income level is, you're sure to benefit from his knowledge and insight.

Over her 40+ year career, Linda Smith has reached the summit of the legal profession. She's litigated on behalf of IBM and Intel, and dealt with male egos as big as Michael Dell's and Mick Jagger's without ever breaking a stride. Linda is also a blogger and author at MeanestWomanAlive.com. She writes about confronting gender stereotypes, self-sabotage, alpha males, and how to seize and hold on to leadership positions. She believes that women should abandon the societal norms dictated by men and use their own playbook - as well as uniquely feminine advantages - to dominate in business. Today, Linda joins the podcast to discuss that playbook, Smashing Glass and Kicking Ass: Lessons from the Meanest Woman Alive. We talk about why a lack of women in leadership roles holds both women and great companies back, the potentially traumatic experiences that helped Linda become who she is today, and what "mean" really means.

From the moment I first heard Rob Actis' voice in an audition, I knew that he would be the voice of The Miracle Morning audiobook series. As he was recording the first book, he started doing his SAVERS, stopped sleeping in until noon, and, amazingly, discovered that he was narrating a book that was changing his life in real-time. Rob decided at the age of 4 that he wanted to speak to the world. 54 years later, he's a radio personality, commercial voice actor, and the leader of a new movement getting people motivated to take action in their lives. Today, Rob joins the podcast to discuss his new (and first) book, The Law of Action: Gain Perfect Clarity, Boost Your Confidence and Get More Results NOW. We talk about facing your fears head-on, what's really going on when we procrastinate, and how to get unstuck when you're in the planning stage - and truly transform your life.
