  • Life Happens FOR You not TO You

    Life Happens FOR You not TO You

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Episode Overview

    What if your greatest challenges weren’t holding you back—but building you up?

    In this episode, we unpack a deceptively simple quote that carries massive weight:

    “Everything in life happens FOR you, not TO you.”

    It’s not just about staying positive—it’s about reclaiming your power.
    We talk about the mindset shift that separates reactive thinking from resilient growth, and how to start using your hardest moments as fuel instead of friction.

    In this episode, you'll learn:
    ✅ How to reframe adversity into meaningful progress
    ✅ Why tracking your gains builds confidence and clarity
    ✅ How resilient people use perspective to bounce back stronger

    Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or facing personal battles—this one will hit home.

    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    From Victim Mode to Empowered Mindset

    ✔ Most people ask: “Why is this happening to me?”
    ✔ But the most successful leaders flip the question: “What is this here to teach me?”
    ✔ Your pain has a purpose—but only if you decide to use it.

    Try this shift:

    Replace “I failed” with “I learned.”Replace “I have to” with “I get to.”

    Building Resilience, One Day at a Time

    Resilience isn’t a gift—it’s a practice. It’s built by:
    ✔ Tracking progress, even when it feels small
    ✔ Reframing setbacks into preparation
    ✔ Modeling vulnerability and bounce-back for others

    Three Questions to Reflect On

    1️⃣ Where in your life are you currently reacting instead of reframing?
    2️⃣ What past hardship ultimately helped you grow the most?
    3️⃣ How can you see today’s challenge as a setup, not a setback?

    Three Actions to Take Today

    1️⃣ Rewrite the Story
    Take one frustrating situation and write three ways it could be working for your growth.

    2️⃣ Teach the Mindset
    Share this “life happens for you” perspective with someone on your team or in your circle.

    3️⃣ Track the Gain
    Start a daily “win” journal. No win is too small. Momentum builds from acknowledgment.

  • Ruthless Clarity – The Discipline of Saying No

    Ruthless Clarity – The Discipline of Saying No

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Episode Overview

    In a world full of constant demands, distractions, and shiny opportunities, focus feels like a luxury.
    But what if the key to breakthrough success isn’t about doing more—but about doing less with unapologetic clarity?

    In this episode, we explore a powerful quote:

    “You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, unapologetically—to say no to other things.”


    If you’ve ever felt spread thin, overwhelmed, or off-track, this episode will help you:
    ✅ Refocus on what matters most
    ✅ Learn how to say “no” without guilt
    ✅ Build a calendar that reflects your real priorities

    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    The Hidden Power of Prioritization

    Most people don’t fail because they lack ambition—they fail because they can’t protect their priorities.

    ✔ Every "yes" is a trade-off
    ✔ Every "maybe" is a slow leak of energy
    ✔ Every distraction disguised as “urgency” keeps you from long-term progress

    Saying No Isn’t Rude—It’s Responsible

    In high-performance environments—sports, business, life—saying no is leadership.

    You say no to:

    DistractionsEgoChaos pretending to be opportunity

    1️⃣ What’s the ONE thing that matters most this week?
    Focus your schedule, energy, and attention around it.

    2️⃣ What have I said “yes” to that’s pulling me off course?
    Audit your calendar. Cut or delegate what doesn’t support your goals.

    3️⃣ Where do I need the courage to say no?
    A meeting, a project, a commitment—or maybe an outdated mindset.

    Three Actions to Take Today

    1️⃣ Identify Your Top Priority for the Week
    Write it down. Guard it like your future depends on it—because it does.

    2️⃣ Audit Your Commitments
    Go through your schedule. What needs to go? Free up space for what matters.

  • Unattainable Goals Appeal to Heroes

    Unattainable Goals Appeal to Heroes

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    What if your biggest goal isn’t big enough?
    In this episode, we explore the powerful idea behind one of Ray Dalio’s most striking quotes:

    “Unattainable goals appeal to heroes.”

    This episode is a call to stop playing it safe and start thinking heroically. If your goals don’t scare you, stretch you, or challenge everything about your habits, then maybe you’re not aiming high enough.

    ✅ Set goals that truly stretch your identity and performance
    ✅ Eliminate comfort and excuses from your process
    ✅ Take consistent, bold action—starting today

    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    What Makes a Goal “Unattainable”?

    Most of us set goals that are safe, manageable, and logical. But Dalio challenges us to go further—toward the impossible.

    ✔ Unattainable goals demand a new level of clarity, execution, and discipline
    ✔ They force you to break old patterns and abandon comfort zones
    ✔ These goals don’t just measure progress—they redefine who you become


    Ask yourself:

    What’s the dream you’ve stopped speaking out loud because it feels too bold?What would change if you actually committed to chasing it?

    Three Actions to Take Today

    1️⃣ Write the Goal You’ve Been Afraid to Say Out Loud

    Not the “safe” one.The one that makes your heart race.The one you’d pursue if fear didn’t get a vote.

    2️⃣ Identify One Constraint You Need to Eliminate

    Time? Distraction? Doubt?Name it, plan it, remove it.Progress starts with making room for possibility.

    3️⃣ Commit to 7 Days of Bold Action

    Pick one action per day that supports your “unattainable” goal.Go all-in for one week.Track your progress. Reflect. Adjust.

    🔥 Unattainable goals aren’t impossible—they’re invitations to rise.

  • Know Yourself. Plan Your Climb. Reach the Summit.

    Know Yourself. Plan Your Climb. Reach the Summit.

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    You can’t reach the summit if you don’t know where you’re starting—or where you’re headed.

    This episode is about the power of self-awareness and strategic thinking when it comes to chasing big goals. Inspired by The Summit Mindset, we explore how the highest achievers don’t rely on luck or momentum—they operate with a clear, honest understanding of themselves and a detailed plan to match.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    ✅ Why self-awareness is the foundation of strategic growth
    ✅ How to use your strengths and weaknesses as fuel for the climb
    ✅ Three practical tools to help you stay aligned and intentional

    Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or climbing your personal mountain—this episode will challenge you to stop winging it and start mapping it.

    Why Self-Awareness and Strategy Go Hand-in-Hand

    Ambition and hard work are important—but without direction, you’re just burning energy.

    ✔ Self-awareness gives you the starting point.
    Know what energizes you. Know what drags you down. Know your story—and own it.

    ✔ Strategy gives you the map.
    A well-thought-out plan doesn’t limit your growth—it amplifies it.

    Three Practical Moves for Strategic Clarity

    ✅ 1. Run a Strength + Weakness Audit
    Take 5 minutes. Grab a sheet of paper.

    ✅ 2. Build a Daily Vision Tracker
    Break your long-term vision into daily moves.

    ✅ 3. Create a Strategic “Stop Doing” List
    Success isn’t just about what you do—it’s also about what you stop doing.

    Three Actions to Take Today
    1️⃣ Use One Strength Today – Choose a strength you’ve been neglecting—and put it to work.
    2️⃣ Build a 7-Day Goal Plan – Write out a one-week roadmap that moves you toward your biggest current goal.
    3️⃣ Drop One Bad Habit – Be honest. What’s one mindset, excuse, or habit you need to leave behind to move forward?

  • Building Teams That Push Each Other Forward

    Building Teams That Push Each Other Forward

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Getting pushed by a teammate doesn’t always feel good—but it often means they care.

    In this episode, we explore how trust transforms feedback, conflict, and accountability into tools for growth—not tension. When there’s trust on a team, pushback feels like support, not criticism.

    We break down:
    ✅ Why trust isn’t about being nice—it’s about being real
    ✅ How to build a team culture where healthy conflict is welcomed
    ✅ Three ways to develop trust that fuels accountability and high performance

    If you lead a team—or want to be part of one—that challenges each other to get better, not just get along, this episode is for you.

    Three Ways to Build a Trust-Driven Team

    ✅ 1. Redefine Conflict as Commitment
    Most teams avoid conflict. Great teams embrace it.
    Conflict means people care enough to speak up, because they’re invested in the outcome.

    ✅ 2. Encourage Constructive Pushback
    The best ideas often come from respectful disagreement.
    Trust deepens when team members know they’re safe to speak up—even if they see things differently.

    ✅ 3. Model Vulnerability as a Leader
    It starts at the top. When leaders admit mistakes and ask for feedback, they set the tone for psychological safety and openness.

    Three Actions to Take Today
    1️⃣ Ask for Feedback – Invite one team member to give you honest input on how you can improve.
    2️⃣ Recognize a Push – Think back to a time someone challenged you in a positive way—and thank them for it.
    3️⃣ Start a Trust Ritual – Open team meetings with a quick check-in or gratitude share to strengthen connection.

    🔥 Great teams don’t avoid tension—they use it to get better. Start building the kind of trust that fuels growth.

  • The Power of Presence – Mastering the Moment

    The Power of Presence – Mastering the Moment

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    In a world full of distractions, being present is one of the hardest but most valuable skills to develop. We’re constantly pulled in different directions—notifications, deadlines, worries about the future, regrets about the past. But the truth is, the only thing we ever truly have control over is right now.

    In this episode, we dive into:
    ✅ Why presence is the key to better decisions, relationships, and success
    ✅ The three core pillars of presence—Awareness, Acceptance, and Engagement
    ✅ How to train your mind to focus on the now and eliminate distractions

    If you struggle with distractions or find yourself constantly thinking about the past or future, this episode will help you refocus and master the present moment.

    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    Why Presence Matters

    ✔ The present moment is where action happens. It’s the only place you can make an impact.
    ✔ When we dwell on the past or stress about the future, we miss the opportunities right in front of us.
    ✔ Being present isn’t about ignoring the future or forgetting the past—it’s about fully engaging with what’s happening now so we can build a better future and learn from our past.

    The Three Pillars of Presence

    ✅ 1. Awareness – Recognizing When You're Distracted
    Most of us operate in autopilot mode—physically present but mentally elsewhere. True presence starts with awareness.

    Pause and Observe. Check in with yourself throughout the day—where is your mind?Create Distraction-Free Zones. Set boundaries for when and where you check your phone or email.Practice Active Listening. Instead of thinking about what to say next, be fully engaged in conversations.

    ✅ 2. Acceptance – Letting Go of the Past and Future
    We resist the present because we’re stuck in regrets or anxieties. But presence means accepting where you are and embracing uncertainty.

    Reframe Your Perspective. Instead of thinking, I should have done this differently, ask, What can I do now?Release the Need for Perfection. The present isn’t about getting everything right—it’s about showing up fully.Breathe. When stress pulls you into the past or future, use deep breathing to anchor yourself in the now.

    ✅ 3. Engagement – Taking Action in the Moment
    Being present isn’t passive—it’s about fully immersing yourself in what you’re doing.

    Single-Task Instead of Multi-Tasking. Give 100% to one task at a time.Set Intentions for Each Activity. Before starting something, remind yourself why it matters.Find Flow. Engage in activities that challenge and absorb you completely.

    Three Actions to Apply This Today
    1️⃣ Pause and Check In. Throughout the day, ask yourself, Am I fully present right now? If not, refocus.
    2️⃣ Eliminate One Distraction. Choose one thing (social media, emails, background noise) to limit for deeper engagement.
    3️⃣ Savor One Moment. Whether it’s a conversation, a workout, or a meal—slow down and fully experience it.

  • The Power of Self-Belief – Confidence, Initiative, and Optimism

    The Power of Self-Belief – Confidence, Initiative, and Optimism

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    ✅ Why self-belief is the ultimate edge that separates leaders from followers
    ✅ The three core pillars of self-belief—Confidence, Initiative, and Optimism

    ✔ They trust themselves to figure it out as they go.
    ✔ They take action, knowing that learning and growth come from doing.

    The Three Pillars of Self-Belief

    ✅ 1. Confidence – Trusting Yourself to Execute Under Pressure

    Track Your Wins – Start a Confidence Log and write down every success, no matter how small.Step into Challenges – Get comfortable with discomfort by pushing into situations where you must perform.Develop a Competence Loop – The more you practice, the more competent you become—and confidence follows competence.

    ✅ 2. Initiative – Taking Action Without Waiting for Permission
    The people who win in life and business aren’t the ones who wait—they’re the ones who step forward when others hesitate.

    Stop Waiting for Perfect Conditions – The right moment will never come—act now.Create a Daily Action Challenge – Do one bold thing every day that moves you forward.Adopt a 'Figure It Out' Mindset – Instead of hesitating, commit to problem-solving on the go.

    ✅ 3. Optimism – Seeing Challenges as Opportunities for Growth
    Optimism isn’t naive positivity—it’s a strategic mindset shift that fuels resilience and long-term success.

    Reframe Setbacks – Instead of asking, "Why did this happen to me?" ask, "What can I learn from this?"Surround Yourself with Growth-Minded People – Negativity kills momentum—choose your circle wisely.Develop a Resilience Ritual – End each day by reflecting on one challenge you overcame and what it taught you.

    Three Actions to Take Today

    1️⃣ Audit Your Mindset – Identify where self-doubt is holding you back and commit to shifting your perspective.

    ✔ A great leader doesn’t just focus on how someone is performing now—they focus on what they’re capable of becoming.

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Episode Overview

  • Why Systems, Not Goals, Determine Success

    Why Systems, Not Goals, Determine Success

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Episode Overview

    Goals don’t create success—systems do. High performers and elite teams don’t just set ambitious targets; they build habits and structures that make winning inevitable.

    In this episode, we dive into:
    ✅ Why most people and organizations fail—not because of weak goals, but because of broken systems
    ✅ How elite performers build daily habits that drive long-term success

  • Why Thinking 10X Makes Success Simpler

    Why Thinking 10X Makes Success Simpler

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Episode Overview

    Most people believe that doubling success requires twice the effort—but what if that thinking is completely wrong? Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan argue that 10X growth is actually easier than 2X because it forces you to eliminate distractions, focus only on high-impact moves, and simplify your approach.

    In this episode, we break down:
    ✅ Why aiming for 10X forces you to stop wasting time on the wrong things
    ✅ How elite performers focus on one big move instead of chasing small wins
    ✅ Three game-changing actions to apply this 10X thinking in your business or career

    If you’re tired of small, incremental growth and want to make massive progress faster, this episode is for you.

    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    ✅ The Power of 10X Thinking

    Hardy and Sullivan challenge the traditional belief that more success requires more effort. Instead, they show that thinking bigger simplifies everything because:
    ✔ 10X forces you to eliminate inefficiencies. You stop doing the 80% of things that don’t matter.
    ✔ You focus only on what truly moves the needle. Incremental progress is replaced with exponential transformation.
    ✔ It changes your mindset. You stop working harder and start working smarter and more intentionally.


    Ask yourself: If you could do just one thing this year that would generate the biggest impact, what would it be?
    That’s your 10X move. Everything else? A distraction.

    Stop Chasing Small Wins, Go All-In on Big Moves
    The biggest takeaway from 10X Is Easier Than 2X is that growth comes from simplification and extreme focus.

    Too often, we spread our energy across too many projects, meetings, and minor tasks that don’t actually move us forward. Imagine cutting all of that out and focusing entirely on the one thing that will truly accelerate your growth. That’s what elite performers do.

    ✔ Instead of multiple goals, pick one big target and pour everything into it.
    ✔ Whether it’s closing a high-value client, launching a game-changing product, or hitting a major revenue milestone, commit fully.
    ✔ Execute relentlessly—because success isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing the right things.

    Three Actions to Apply This Today

    1️⃣ Identify Your 10X Move – What’s the one thing that, if achieved, would create the biggest impact in your business or career? Commit to it.
    2️⃣ Eliminate the Waste – Audit your daily tasks and remove anything that doesn’t contribute to your 10X goal. Free yourself from distractions.
    3️⃣ Track Relentless Progress – Set up a system to measure daily execution on your one big goal. Stay locked in.

  • The Power of Trust in Building Elite Teams

    The Power of Trust in Building Elite Teams

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Episode Overview

    Trust isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of every elite team. Yet, most teams operate in low-trust environments, where people hesitate to share ideas, fear criticism, and prioritize self-preservation over collaboration.

    Patrick Lencioni’s quote from The Five Dysfunctions of a Team makes it clear: real trust requires overcoming the need for invulnerability. The best teams don’t just talk about trust—they build it, brick by brick, through vulnerability, openness, and psychological safety.


    In this episode, we unpack:
    ✅ Why trust is the key differentiator in high-performing teams
    ✅ The overlooked truth about psychological safety in the workplace
    ✅ How vulnerability in leadership creates a culture of growth, not fear
    ✅ Three powerful actions you can take today to strengthen trust within your team


    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    ✅ The Overlooked Truth About Trust
    Trust doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built through consistent, intentional actions that foster psychological safety.

    In high-trust teams, members:
    ✔ Feel safe taking risks without fear of blame.
    ✔ Are encouraged to share ideas—even the ones that fail.
    ✔ Know their contributions are valued, regardless of outcome.

    The mistake many leaders make? They expect trust without earning it. Saying “trust me” means nothing if your actions don’t back it up. If employees fear judgment, punishment, or criticism for making mistakes, trust will never exist.

    ✅ The Role of Vulnerability in Leadership
    Dr. BrenĂŠ Brown, in Dare to Lead, emphasizes that vulnerability is the foundation of trust.

    Leaders who pretend to have all the answers, dodge accountability, or never admit mistakes send the wrong message—that vulnerability is weakness. In reality, it’s the ultimate strength.

    ✔ The best leaders say: “I don’t have all the answers, but we’ll figure it out together.”
    ✔ The best teams welcome honest feedback instead of punishing it.
    ✔ The strongest cultures allow people to fail, learn, and grow without fear.

    When leaders embrace vulnerability, they set the tone for trust, collaboration, and true team cohesion.

    Three Actions to Strengthen Trust in Your Team

    1️⃣ Encourage openness. Create a safe space where team members can share struggles, feedback, and ideas without fear of criticism.
    2️⃣ Model vulnerability as a leader. Be open about challenges, admit mistakes, and show that learning is more valuable than perfection.
    3️⃣ Reinforce trust with action. Support your team when they take risks, show gratitude for their contributions, and ensure accountability without blame.

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Episode Overview

    Greatness and short-term thinking don’t mix. If you want to achieve something truly meaningful, you have to lift your sights and push toward the horizon. Daniel Pink’s quote from Drive reminds us that true success isn’t about chasing quick wins—it’s about having a vision and executing on it every single day.

    In this episode, we dive deep into:
    ✅ Why long-term thinking separates the elite from the average
    ✅ How to reverse-engineer success by focusing on the end goal first
    ✅ Why execution and patience are the keys to making your vision a reality

    If you’re tired of spinning your wheels on short-term distractions and want to start building something truly meaningful, this episode is for you.

    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    ✅ The Power of Long-Term Thinking
    High performers don’t just show up—they show up with a strategy.

    With the teams, athletes, and professionals I work with, we always start with this question: "What does winning look like?" We don’t focus on today’s setbacks—we define the ultimate goal and work backward to map out the necessary steps.

    🚀 Frank Slootman’s book, Amp It Up, reinforces this principle:

    Strategy is critical—but strategy without execution is useless.The best game plan in the world means nothing if you don’t execute daily.

    ✅ Execution & Patience: The Daily Grind Matters
    Having a vision is great—but a vision without execution is just a wish. And execution without a clear vision? That’s just chaos.

    Ben Newman always talks about the power of patience and discipline in the long game. You already know you're going to win. You already know you're going to succeed. But the real question is:

    ➡️ Are you willing to put in the work every single day to get there?

    ✔ Winning is in the daily grind. Greatness isn’t an accident—it’s the relentless commitment to standards, processes, and improvement.
    ✔ Success happens over time, not overnight. The best teams and leaders are consistent problem-solvers, not quick-fix seekers.
    ✔ Every big achievement starts with clarity. The top 1% don’t just work hard—they work with intention.

    Modeling Success – The Fastest Path to Achievement

    🎙️ Episode Title: Modeling Success – The Fastest Path to Achievement
    📖 Inspired by: Nine-Figure Mindset – Brandon Dawson

    Episode Overview

    The fastest way to achieve success? Find someone who has already done it and model their approach. Success leaves clues, and the best athletes, business leaders, and high performers don’t try to figure it all out alone. They study those who have paved the way, dissect their strategies, and apply those lessons to fast-track their own progress.

    In this episode, we break down how you can leverage modeling as a tool for rapid growth, the difference between imitation and adaptation, and practical steps to start implementing this today.

    Key Takeaways from This Episode

    ✅ Why Modeling Success Works
    Success isn’t random—it’s a process. Ed Mylett breaks it down into three levels:

    Motivation – Gets you started but fades quickly.Inspiration – Seeing others succeed pushes you to take action.Aspiration – The game-changer. When you deeply study and model successful individuals, you elevate your thinking, execution, and results.

    We see this everywhere. Think about Kobe Bryant studying Michael Jordan—not just watching highlights, but analyzing footwork, training, and mindset. In business, entrepreneurs break down Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, and Elon Musk’s strategies to apply them to their own ventures.

    ✅ How to Find and Model the Right People
    Not every role model is the right fit. To truly accelerate your success, you need intentionality in who you study. Here’s how:

    Find someone who has already achieved your goal. It could be a leader in your industry, an athlete, a coach, or even a mentor within your network.Study their habits, routines, and mindset. Read their books, watch their interviews, and follow them on social media. Pay attention to how they think, make decisions, and execute.Reverse-engineer their success. Don’t just admire—analyze. Break down their daily actions, challenges, and systems.Connect and ask questions. If possible, engage with them, join their communities, or even reach out directly. Many high achievers are willing to share insights if you show genuine curiosity.Apply, refine, and make it your own. Don’t copy—adapt. Take what works, integrate it into your daily life, and tweak it to fit your strengths.

    By following this approach, you don’t just hope for success—you create it.

    Three Actions to Apply This Today

    1️⃣ Identify one person who has already achieved your goal and start studying their strategies.
    2️⃣ Implement one habit or system they use that aligns with your journey.
    3️⃣ Find a way to connect with their insights—whether through books, interviews, social media, or direct outreach.

  • Character in Action—How True Leaders Treat Others

    Character in Action—How True Leaders Treat Others

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Episode Summary

    Leadership isn’t about power—it’s about responsibility. True character isn’t revealed in how we treat those who can help us, but in how we treat those who can’t.

    In this episode, we explore a powerful quote from Simon Sinek’s Leaders Eat Last:
    "You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him."

    We break down why real leaders serve rather than command, why character is built in the small moments, and how the way you treat others defines your impact. If you want to be the kind of leader who earns trust, respect, and lasting influence—this episode is for you.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    🔥 Why leadership is about service, not status
    🔥 How great leaders prioritize people over power
    🔥 Why character is built in small, everyday moments
    🔥 The impact of treating everyone—regardless of status—with equal respect
    🔥 Three simple actions to lead with character today

    Key Takeaways:

    ✅ Great Leaders Serve, Not Command

    People don’t follow titles—they follow those who genuinely serve them.Leadership isn’t about managing—it’s about supporting, guiding, and helping your team win.Every leader should ask daily: “What does my team need today, and how can I help?”

    ✅ Your Character Is Shown in the Small Moments

    How you treat the intern, the janitor, the young athlete, or the low-paying customer says everything about who you are.True leadership isn’t about what you say in public—it’s about what you do when no one is watching.People are always observing your actions. That’s what determines whether they trust and respect you.

    ✅ Three Actions to Lead with Character Today:
    🚀 Find one person today who can do nothing for you—and help them anyway.
    🚀 Ask yourself: "What does my team need today?" Then act on it.
    🚀 Treat everyone with the same respect—whether they’re a CEO, a janitor, or a child.

    Challenge for the Listeners:

    Simon Sinek reminds us that true leadership is about how we treat others. So ask yourself: Are you leading with character? Are you serving and supporting those around you?

    Because great leaders don’t just demand respect—they earn it through their actions.

  • Why Systems Beat Goals: The Secret to Winning Every Day

    Why Systems Beat Goals: The Secret to Winning Every Day

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    Why Systems Beat Goals—The Secret to Winning Every Day

    Episode Summary

    Tim Ferriss doesn’t hold back when he says, “Losers have goals. Winners have systems.” At first, that might sound extreme—but if you take a step back, he’s absolutely right. Goals are great for direction, but they don’t create success. Execution does.

    In this episode, we break down why systems outperform goals every time, why motivation alone isn’t enough, and how high achievers create repeatable structures that drive long-term success. If you’re tired of setting big goals but struggling to follow through, this episode will give you the framework to win every single day.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    🔥 Why goals alone don’t guarantee success—systems do
    🔥 The difference between setting a goal and executing on it
    🔥 Why motivation fades, but systems create consistency
    🔥 How championship teams and elite performers build systems to dominate
    🔥 Three simple actions to start winning with systems today

    Key Takeaways:

    ✅ The Difference Between Goals and Systems

    Goals define where you want to go, but systems determine whether you actually get there.Every team wants to win a championship, but only the ones with elite systems actually do.Every business wants more clients, but the ones that succeed have repeatable sales and marketing systems in place.

    ✅ Why Systems Matter More Than Motivation

    Motivation is temporary. Systems create permanent habits that keep you on track.Championship teams don’t just rely on hype—they rely on structured processes that guarantee success.The question isn’t “Do you feel like doing it?” It’s “Do you have a system in place to make it happen no matter what?”

    ✅ Three Actions to Start Winning with Systems Today:
    🚀 Define your daily disciplines—what repeatable actions move you closer to success?
    🚀 Make your system measurable—track progress, refine it, and stay consistent.
    🚀 Commit to the system, not just the outcome—success isn’t about waiting for results, it’s about executing daily.

    Challenge for the Listeners:

    Are you focused on goals, or are you building the systems that will actually take you where you want to go? Because success isn’t about what you hope for—it’s about what you do every single day.

  • The Power of Focus: Why Doing Less Helps You Achieve More

    The Power of Focus: Why Doing Less Helps You Achieve More

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    The More You Try to Do, the Less You Accomplish – Why Focus Wins

    Episode Description:

    Are you juggling too many priorities and making little progress? In this episode, we break down a hard truth from The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling: "The more you try to do, the less you actually accomplish." Whether in business, sports, or personal growth, overcommitting leads to burnout, stalled progress, and diluted impact. Learn how elite performers sharpen their focus and execute on what truly matters.

    Key Takeaways:

    ✅ Overcommitting kills effectiveness – Spreading yourself too thin leads to mediocre results and frustration.
    ✅ Focus drives mastery – The best teams, leaders, and athletes prioritize one or two key objectives instead of chasing everything.
    ✅ Execution beats busyness – Being busy doesn’t mean being productive. Success comes from disciplined action on high-impact goals.

    Three Actions to Take Today:

    ✅ Identify the one priority that will create the most impact—and commit to it.
    ✅ Eliminate distractions and delegate tasks that aren’t moving you forward.
    ✅ Master one or two key skills before adding more to your plate.

  • Comparing Yourself to Your Highest Potential

    Comparing Yourself to Your Highest Potential

    · DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development

    In this episode, we dive into a game-changing mindset shift inspired by Ryan Holiday’s Ego Is the Enemy. Holiday reminds us that true success isn’t about outpacing others—it’s about measuring yourself against your own potential. In a world overflowing with external comparisons, we often lose sight of the only competition that truly matters: the person we have the potential to become.


    We break down why self-assessment is the key to real growth and how you can escape the trap of measuring success by someone else’s standards. You’ll learn how to replace comparison with reflection, personal accountability, and intentional progress—because the real measure of success isn’t how you stack up against others, but how close you are to becoming your best self.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    ✔ Why comparison is the biggest distraction from your true potential
    ✔ How self-reflection drives real progress and long-term success
    ✔ The power of honest self-assessment in closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be
    ✔ Three actionable steps to start measuring success by your own highest potential

    Three Actions to Take Today:
    ✅ Reflect honestly – Identify one area for improvement and take an intentional step toward growth.
    ✅ Set a goal – Define one specific action that will move you closer to your best self.
    ✅ Eliminate distractions – Stop comparing yourself to others and focus on your own journey.
