Inflammation is where sickness, acidity, and long-term health problems thrive.

In this episode, we break down why most people are not actually sick. They are chronically dehydrated and do not even realize it.

Water is the most overlooked pillar of health. We talk about why most tap water, bottled water, fridge filters, and popular alkaline water fail to properly hydrate the body. Not because water does not matter, but because the wrong kind of water does.

Mikaal Schmitz, founder of Sacred Alkaline Water, joins the show to explain how hydration impacts inflammation, energy, mental clarity, sleep, and longevity.

You will learn:

• Why dehydration fuels inflammation
• The difference between clean water and living mineral water
• Why bottled alkaline water is often misleading
• How minerals and hydrogen affect absorption and energy
• Why many people drink plenty of water yet remain dehydrated
• How whole-home water quality affects both health and property

Mikaal shares his personal journey, years of research, and why water has been ignored in the wellness conversation for too long.

If you are serious about your health, your family, and long-term longevity, this episode will change how you think about every glass of water you drink.

Water is not optional. It is foundational.

Every year, driven people wreck their momentum before the year even starts. They rush into goals. They overcommit. They confuse anxiety with ambition. Then they burn out by February.

In this episode, we break down why January is not for goal setting and why the New Year New You mindset quietly sabotages long term success.

Using a personal story from the Marine Corps Marathon, I explain how even disciplined, prepared people fail when they start too fast and why January should be used for recalibration, not acceleration.

In this conversation, you will learn:

• Why most New Year’s resolutions fail
• Why January feels productive but creates long term drag
• The real purpose January should serve in your year
• How to aim before you fire so effort stops being wasted
• Why small consistent shifts beat dramatic reinvention
• How momentum actually works and why elite performers start slower
• Why systems matter more than motivation
• Why vision and goals are not the same thing

This episode is for entrepreneurs, leaders, and high performers who are tired of repeating the same cycle every January and want a smarter, calmer way to win the year.

If January feels chaotic, this episode will change how you approach the rest of the year.

In this raw, eye-opening conversation, Aaron Velky sits down with addiction and self-leadership expert Craig Perra to unpack why entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and elite performers are disproportionately vulnerable to addiction, self-sabotage, and destructive coping patterns.

You’ll learn:

This episode is for entrepreneurs who want growth without self-destruction.

That’s what Aaron Hale taught me in this episode.

Aaron is a former Army EOD technician who lost his eyesight to a roadside bomb and years later lost his hearing to bacterial meningitis. But what he gained in that darkness is what this conversation is really about: purpose, identity, and a deeper understanding of what true vision looks like.

In this raw, deeply human episode, Aaron shares how he rebuilt his life from the ground up. How he became a father, a husband, an endurance athlete, a chef, and a speaker with no sight and limited hearing. We talk about internal vision, how to stop fighting what you can’t control, and how pain can become your greatest teacher if you’re willing to listen.

If you're navigating identity, change, grief, burnout, or just want to hear from someone who turned unimaginable loss into powerful service, this episode is going to hit hard.

Listen if you're ready to:

• Learn how to find meaning through suffering

In this episode, I’m telling the real story, the business near-death experience LEGO faced, what caused it, and how a razor-sharp vision brought them back from the brink. This isn’t just a toy company comeback. It’s a masterclass in focus, leadership, and saying no.

If your business feels chaotic, distracted, or spread too thin… you need to hear this. Because what almost killed LEGO is what’s killing most companies right now: too many false yeses and not enough commitment to vision.

I’ll walk you through:

- How LEGO lost their identity chasing too many ideas

- The exact moment they turned it around

- How YOU can use the same strategy to align your business, your team, and your future

- Why “vision” isn’t a fluff statement, it’s a daily operating system

This is personal. I’ve lived the wide, chaotic, soul-sucking version of entrepreneurship. And I’m telling this story because I don’t want you to go through the same thing.

If you want my free Focus Exercise or Vision Blueprint, DM me the word “FOCUS” on Instagram and I’ll send it over. No strings attached.

👀 And yes... if you’re watching on YouTube, that’s a 3,500-piece LEGO Lamborghini I’m building. Worth every hour.

If you’re building something that matters, this episode is for you.

What kind of person decides to bring back a species that’s been gone for 13,000 years? The kind of person who sees possibility where everyone else sees limits. This is a conversation about thinking bigger, committing to the long game, and building something extraordinary when everyone else is playing it safe.

If your goals feel too small or your life feels too predictable, this is your wake-up call.

In this episode:

- Why most visions die before they ever start

- The difference between convergent and divergent thinking

- How to think like an artist and lead like a CEO

- Why your vision needs to sound impossible at first

This isn't theory. It's a call to get serious about what you're building. The impossible is already happening. You're either in the game or you're watching from the sidelines.

This isn’t just about coffee. It’s about culture, leadership, and the standards your business lives or dies by.

I walk you through:

• What culture actually is (hint: it’s not a vibe)
• How CEOs screw it up by confusing energy with standards
• The real cost of a $3 mistake
• Why “values” don’t matter without actions

If your team doesn’t know exactly what to do without you watching, you don’t have culture, you have chaos.

I’ll show you how to fix it.

Back to standards. Back to systems.

Back to Starbucks.

If you’re serious about building a company that lasts, listen to this episode. And if you need help rebuilding your culture from the inside out, reach out. We do this work every day.

Let’s make your vision real.

What This Episode Covers:

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, hesitant, or unsure how to move forward. Fear is often disguised as logic, delay, or perfectionism. We expose the real patterns that stop people from making decisions and show you how to push through.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why being "fearless" is a myth
• How fear keeps you passive and silent
• The 4 fears that dominate high performers
• Why imperfect action beats overthinking
• What Spielberg's career can teach you about rejection and resilience
• How to move when you're mentally frozen

The Four Fears Discussed:

• Fear of inferiority: thinking you need to be the smartest person in the room
• Fear of rejection: believing failure defines your worth
• Fear of control: gripping so tightly you squeeze the life out of your business
• Fear of loss: imagining a worst-case scenario that will never happen

The antidote to fear is action. Not perfect action. Just forward motion. If you're overwhelmed, it's likely because you're trying to solve an action problem with more information. That never works.

- What true helplessness feels like when your strength no longer matters

- Why most entrepreneurs are silently panicking behind the scenes

This episode isn’t about fear. It’s about transformation. And it’s a must-watch for any entrepreneur navigating uncertainty, doubt, or the “I should have it all figured out by now” phase.

- Why speed can be your secret weapon and your biggest weakness.

- How moving too quickly creates more problems than it solves.

- The clear signs it's time to slow down.

- Key questions to ask yourself about your pace and its impact.

In this episode, Marty and I dive deep into what it truly means to be stuck and, more importantly, how to break free. We start with the incredible, real-life story of Aron Ralston, a mountaineer who faced the ultimate test of being stuck. He was pinned under an 800-pound boulder for five days. His journey to freedom is a powerful metaphor for what it takes to move forward in life and business.

We’re talking about:

- Why most people stay stuck for years

- The surprising truth about how to escape when you feel trapped

- The key mindset shifts that make all the difference

- The one thing you must cut in order to create the future you want

The answer is not always about doing more. Sometimes, it is about subtraction. What do you need to let go of? What is holding you back from real progress?

By the end of this episode, you will have a clear action plan to take your first step toward real change.

If you're a Visionary like me, you know how hard it can be to manage your team while trying to bring your big ideas to life. You might feel like you're constantly in your own way, slowing down your business growth. I’ve been there. That’s why having an Integrator isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.

Today I dive into the symptoms of life without vision—reactivity, scarcity, and passivity—and how they hold us back from growth and purpose. Without a clear vision, every decision becomes a struggle, and every path feels like wandering aimlessly through life.

I’ll share why vision isn’t just for big-name entrepreneurs like Elon Musk or Steve Jobs. Visionaries exist in your neighborhood, in your family, and even in your small business. More importantly, YOU can become one.

We’ll break down how to:

- Recognize the signs that you're stuck in the familiar.

- Escape the cycle of shiny object syndrome and scarcity thinking.

- Build a vision that guides every decision—personal and professional.

If you're tired of reacting to life and ready to take control, listen to this all the way through. This year, we’re going all-in on helping you craft a life and business vision that inspires action and delivers results.

This isn’t just a conversation about disaster recovery—it’s about the bigger picture. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a wildfire, the chaos in your business, or a personal challenge, the lesson is the same: vision is the only way forward.

We explore:

- Why reactionary thinking traps us in cycles of failure.

- The hard truth about what it takes to rebuild—not just homes, but hope.

- How businesses and individuals can learn from California’s struggle to create a resilient future.

This episode is about more than California—it’s about the fires in your own life. What’s burning, and how will you rebuild? Join us as we tackle tough questions, challenge assumptions, and remind you of one thing: the only way out is through a bigger vision.

Listen in, reflect, and let’s start shaping the path forward—together.

Here’s the truth: Real change doesn’t happen because the calendar flipped to January. It happens when you stop hitting reset, start taking ownership of your vision, and commit to building systems that fuel long-term growth. In this episode, we break down why the “New Year, New You” mentality might be holding you back—and how you can shift your mindset to create a life of real progress and impact.

What you’ll learn:

- Why starting over isn’t the answer to building a big, meaningful life.

- The importance of seeing your year as a comma, not a period.

- How systems—not willpower—drive sustainable success.

- Why vision is your ultimate tool for long-term growth.

If you’re tired of the same resolutions and are ready to design a life fueled by purpose and clarity, this conversation is for you.

Thank you to everyone who supported the show this year, it's been a blast. My mission is to give you the tools to forge your dream into a reality. We've worked with so many incredible people this year and seen so many jaw dropping results. Here's to 2025 and everything it holds ahead for all of us!

• Stop Recycling the Past – Don’t base your vision for 2025 on what you did in 2024. Instead, carve out time to dream big and ask the most important question: What do you truly want?
• Simplify Your Goals – Too many goals = fragmented focus. Focus on building habits and trust in your ability to follow through. I’ll share how setting fewer, impactful goals can create a positive feedback loop that drives real progress.

I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs and visionaries like you create clarity in their goals and their lives. Vision isn’t just about dreaming; it’s about setting clear criteria to guide your choices and create alignment.

Today, Marty and I will explore the critical difference between pursuing what you love versus running from what you don’t. Many entrepreneurs start by enduring the grind for a future payoff, but at some point, you need to ask: When do I start loving what I do?

Brett shares incredible insights on what it takes to become “elite,” why resilience is essential, and how to lead a business through tough times. We also talk about the dangers of constantly "moving the goalposts," the importance of celebrating milestones, and how to create a team culture that scales alongside your business. One of the most powerful themes we hit on is finding harmony between business growth and personal well-being—because what’s the point of building a great company if you’re burning yourself out in the process?

This episode is packed with practical takeaways and inspiring lessons for entrepreneurs at all stages. Whether you’re looking to level up your business, build a stronger team, or find more balance in your life, you’re going to want to tune in!

What We Cover:

• The importance of stopping to celebrate your wins before chasing the next goal

Join us for an authentic, inspiring conversation that will challenge you to think differently about leadership, culture, and the way you approach growth.

We also dig into the importance of having a deeper purpose beyond just financial freedom—because trust me, if you don't have a vision that's meaningful, even success will feel empty.

What We Cover:

- Breaking Free From the Past – The hardest part of building a vision is letting go of the past. Most entrepreneurs extend their current path, but real growth comes from leaving old habits behind and stepping into something new.

- Vision Is Not Just About Money – Financial freedom is great, but without a vision that drives you beyond dollars, you're likely to feel lost, no matter how much money you have.

- Vision Demands Change – Growth is optional. If you’re stuck or feel unfulfilled, it’s time to challenge yourself with a new vision. One that forces you to evolve and inspires you to wake up excited each day.

If you’re ready to get out of your own way and build a vision that lights you up, this episode is for you. Reach out to us for our vision framework, and start designing the life and business you truly want.

In this episode, we're diving into the mind and journey of Gobundance CEO Matt King, a visionary who's carved out a path of intentional living and goal-setting that's anything but ordinary. Matt, often seen as an underdog, shares his insights on intuition, the strategic power of "no," and the relentless pursuit of excellence that has defined his rise to success.

Matt pulls back the curtain on the practices and mindsets that have propelled him from a place of self-doubt to a position of influence and accomplishment. He challenges the conventional, pushing us to reconsider the narratives we've been sold about success and personal growth.

Prepare to level up yourself, as we explore themes like:

- Intuition as an unlearned language we all possess

- The liberating power of saying "NO"

- The Art of Continuous Addition and why "adding on" and never settling are keys to lifelong achievement.

Today's episode is for anyone looking to redefine their approach to life and leadership. Matt's story is a testament to the power of belief, resilience, and strategic action in the face of adversity. Another fun fact is, as you might have heard in the episode, Matt was kind enough to give us his time on his birthday, so thank you, Matt!
