The irony of freedom.

Everything in this life is a trade-off. Even freedom. Let’s think about financial freedom for a moment. With money, you have unlimited resources — you can do anything you want. Travel to every country, eat the best food, and live your dream experiences. What most people forget is that freedom tends to come at a cost. 

Since you traveled to every country, maybe you missed out on time spent with your family. Maybe after eating the best food, that home-cooked meal doesn’t taste the same. The point is to broaden your perspective. Take the time to think about the things you desire. Are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve your goals?

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I share my thoughts on freedom and the need for a holistic perspective. With freedom, you live with abundance. However, that freedom came at a cost. The irony of freedom is that you must have discipline as well.

In this episode, you’ll learn…

• Let’s talk about freedom. (0:46)
• An 11 year old’s decision. (4:06)
• When a vax is a not a vaccination. (8:21)
• Beware of supplements. (12:28)
• Read labels and do your own research. (16:13)

A book will make you a credible source.

Authority and credibility are potent characteristics of the mind. There have been countless studies on how people perceive authority figures. For example, one study showed that simply wearing a white lab coat (posing as a doctor) caused people to act entirely differently than they normally would. 

When you’re an expert in your industry, people view you in a different light. Instead of questioning your processes, they shower you with respect and admiration. Becoming highly knowledgeable will help advance your career. And writing a book is just one way to establish your authority on a given subject.  

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I sit down with Joshua Sprague to share the behind-the-scenes of writing a number one bestselling book and much more. Additionally, we cover tips for career pivoting, pushing through mental resistance, and how to accelerate skill development in any industry.

In this episode you’ll learn about…

• Mexico vs Montezuma. (0:46)
• Creating a lifestyle of a King. (8:48)
• Infusing pain into the story you’re telling. (22:09)
• Are you a writer? (34:42)
• Digging into the book writing challenge. (44:20)
• Being rebellious with your morning routine. (54:56)

A self-audit can go a long way.

Let’s take a moment to think about where life is right now for you. Imagine those little, joyful moments where you get to take a step back. What about those moments make them unique? 

Many times, it’s how you talk to yourself. You “get” to spend time in the sun and appreciate nature. Instead, some of us will say we “have” to do some of these opportunities. And that may not be the best way to talk to yourself. 

If you find yourself using this verbiage for things you should enjoy on paper, it might be an excellent idea to take a step back. Have tough conversations with yourself and think about ways you can appreciate the little things. 

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I share how you can conduct a self-audit, a perspective you can view life through (especially if you’re an entrepreneur), and my experience in appreciating the little things. When life becomes chaotic, taking a step back is essential to ensure you’re on the path that suits you best.

In this episode, you’ll learn…

• Taking time to self-audit. (0:46)
• What you resist, persists. (5:32)
• Alex Hormozi’s teaching. (11:02)
• Get to instead of Have to. (17:13)
• Educate with the intent to leverage others. (22:05)

Have the tough conversations.

Tough conversations typically begin with a series of deep-diving questions. They’re an uncomfortable, unavoidable part of life. Although many of us look to hide and avoid these situations, they will always find you. And tough conversations aren’t only with other people — oftentimes, they’re with yourself. That’s why intention is a crucial part of these conversations. 

For Matt Halson, having these conversations with himself and his partner has brought about an entire change in lifestyle. And you can bring about that same transformation. Previously, Matt had a victim mindset. That mindset has evolved through the power of intent. You should be a student, a learner. Be intentional and curious with your questions as you probe deeper.

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, we discuss the steps Matt took to transform his life, how to have tough conversations, and learning to live every day with purpose. From learning about the primal man to getting in touch with his emotional side, Matt shares the immense impact of living with balance.

In this episode you’ll learn about…

• The man from down unda’. (0:46)
• Doing the work while keeping life together. (9:39)
• Speaking truth vs stonewalling. (22:01)
• Your partner is feeling isolated and alone. (34:40)
• Holding to healthier boundaries & deep understanding. (46:26)
• Pivoting when values shift. (55:52)

How to get breakthrough results under any circumstance.

Joy and happiness lie on the other side of discomfort. Like many things in life, it’s counterintuitive to believe that discomfort is the driving force behind these freedoms. Embodying and pushing through discomfort isn’t easy – yet that’s the exact reason it brings fruits like happiness, success, and freedom. 

It’s about the juxtaposition. Anything else is better when you have a past experience of being uncomfortable. And being uncomfortable can bring out a truer part of you. Instead of going to the gym because you want to or have to, you go to the gym because you intrinsically understand that it will feel awesome. The moment of squatting 315 pounds may be uncomfortable, after, you’ll have that point of reference and understand the power of discomfort. 

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I sit down with Sterling Hawkins and discuss the vitality of seeking discomfort. Sterling shares his astonishing story of a multibillion-dollar business, why people end up feeling stuck, and the science behind stepping outside of your comfort zone. Evolution has designed us to seek discomfort, and the modern world has stripped that away from us.

In this episode you’ll learn about…

• Getting results No Matter What. (1:06)
• The fruits of hunting discomfort. (8:09)
• Hanging onto past fears. (16:06)
• When deep in discomfort, get outside support. (26:05)
• Surrendering when you’re in lack. (34:16)
• Summoning courage for breaking through. (41:13)

A masterclass on emotional control.

Emotional control is a skill that’s taught by other people. It’s rare that someone can teach themselves about control, self-awareness, and empathy. For some of us, learning to be self-aware and control our negative emotions is a top priority. The first step is accepting that it is a skill and CAN be learned.

Dealing with negative emotions, like fear, typically boil down to how you talk to yourself. Some of us let our core fears define us. And it usually starts with blaming outside circumstances. Take responsibility where it’s due, and your true self will shine through.

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I sit down with Steven Fisher to discuss powerful topics like dealing with fear, addiction, family issues, and so much more. Steven’s experiences are one of a kind; he provides exemplary insights about learning how to empathize, the best way to gain emotional control, and personal anecdotes about his journey as a father.

In this episode you’ll learn about…

• 25 years of experience adding value. (0:53)
• Being knocked off the throne. (9:55)
• The benefit of doing your own work. (19:31)
• You may make a mistake but you are NOT a mistake. (27:52)
• Being a non-judgmental support. (36:08)
• Embodying self-love rep over rep. (42:41)

Pivoting supports positive change.

Self-awareness is a skill that many underutilize. Understanding yourself while objectively observing yourself allows you to see things from a different perspective. There isn’t a hard fast rule for evaluating yourself, as it’s just a way to ensure you remain on the right path. 

Depending on what your goals are, self-evaluation is an avenue for staying the course or pivoting. Additionally, it doesn’t have to solely be from you. Sometimes, your closest friends can provide you insights unseeable through introspection. 

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I talk about some of the key insights to look for when performing introspection. I also, I lay out some ground rules for a successful self-evaluation and some revelations that introspection has brought to me this past week.

Choices aren’t what you think.

Sometimes you may feel yourself boxed in by your external circumstances. You have to pay all of your bills, go to your job every single day, and maybe even indulge in some of your bad habits. And all of these circumstances are true, for the most part. 

Yet you don’t have to let circumstances dictate your life choices 100% of the time. Choices aren’t always what you make of them. Sometimes there is a different perspective you can take. A shift in your mindset.

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I share the mindset shift you can use to feel more fulfilled, another challenge about choices that I encourage you to accept, and some different ways to simplify a complex life. When we’re making decisions, it’s vital to consider alternative perspectives to make a holistic decision.

In this episode you’ll learn…

• On site from Sayulita, Mexico. (0:46)
• Uncomplicating the over-complicated. (4:14)
• You have complete freedom to choose. (7:24)
• Renegotiating our word. (10:34)

What’s your coping mechanism?

For all reactions, there is an equal and opposite reaction. And when missing something (happiness, love, or connection), there’s an equal reaction elsewhere. Coping mechanisms are often the result of these gaps whether they’re from childhood, relationships, or friendships. 

Some of the most common coping mechanisms in America today are binge-eating and drinking. It’s extremely difficult to break free once you’re inside the loop. To escape you’ll need the right tools. Understanding that you have coping mechanisms is the first step to discovering where they come from. 

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I sit down with Chris Magryta to discuss the coping mechanism epidemic, discovering how to break free, and the vitality of understanding where they begin. In addition, Chris shares a simple tip to expand your tool kit and the key to maintaining relationships.

In this episode you’ll learn about…

• The simple solution to happiness. (0:46)
• Adverse childhood events: ACE’s (8:20)
• Lift the veil and continue exploring. (18:42)
• Adding more tools to the toolkit. (28:30)
• Ensuring children are truly listened to. (36:59)
• Finding people who love you for your honesty. (43:38)
