The biggest problem holding you back might be you... and once you truly accept that, everything changes. You are already a leader. You lead your business, your team, your family, your friendships, and most importantly, yourself. And in every single one of those areas, your leadership ability is either lifting the people around you or capping them. That is the Law of the Lid, and it is the foundation of everything John Maxwell and I are going to teach you in this series. This is Law Number One for a reason. The moment I stopped blaming the market, my circumstances, and the people around me, and started taking full responsibility for my own leadership, everything shifted. That shift is available to you right now, in this episode. Here's what you'll learn: A honest look in the mirror: You'll know exactly what a leadership lid is and whether yours is quietly limiting the people who depend on you most. Your number: John gives you a simple 1-10 framework to measure your leadership lid right now, so you leave with clarity instead of guesses. The thermostat connection: You'll understand why changing your behaviors without changing your identity never sticks — and what to do about it. The one question that exposes everything: If the people closest to you rated your leadership, would their number match yours? This episode shows you how to close that gap. A real plan to raise your lid: Not theory. A concrete first step to growing your leadership so the people around you can grow too. The good news is your lid is not fixed. It can grow. You can grow. And when you raise your lid, you raise the ceiling for every single person in your life who is counting on you to lead. This is part of a brand new series releasing every Thursday where John Maxwell and I are going to walk through all 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership together, one law at a time.

What if the hardest season of your life is actually the doorway to becoming the strongest version of yourself you’ve ever met? In this conversation with Ken Rideout, I sat across from a man who has lived more lives than most people ever will. From growing up in chaos and addiction, to becoming a Wall Street trader, to falling deep into opioid addiction, and then rebuilding himself into one of the fastest marathon runners in the world over 50 years old. His story is not just about winning races. It is about becoming someone you can respect when no one else is watching. We got real about what it actually feels like to win. Not the highlight reel version, but the truth. Ken said something that stopped me in my tracks. Winning is not the explosion of joy people expect. It is relief. It is the quiet moment where you realize you endured something most people would have quit on. That hit me because it is exactly how success has felt in my own life too. We also went deep into identity. How do you build belief in yourself when you were not raised with it? Ken opened up about going from confidence as a kid, to losing himself in addiction, to rebuilding his identity through effort. Not talent. Not luck. Effort. He made it clear that the biggest lie people believe is that they have limits. That belief alone is what keeps most people stuck living a life far below what they are capable of. One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is how his entire life changed from one decision. Getting sober. That single decision led him to running, which led him to discovering a level of greatness he never knew existed inside him. It is a reminder that you are one decision away from a completely different life. You do not need the whole plan. You just need to start. This episode is for you if you feel stuck, if you are battling something internally, or if you know deep down you are capable of more but have not tapped into it yet. Ken Rideout is living proof that your past does not define you. Your decisions do. Key Takeaways: Why winning rarely feels the way you expect and why relief is often the real reward The lie most people believe about their limitations and how it keeps them stuck How one decision can completely redirect the trajectory of your life Why effort will always outperform talent when sustained over time The difference between quitting and pushing through and how to know which is which How to rebuild your identity when you have lost belief in yourself Sign up for a $1 per month trial period at https://shopify.com/mylett 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

You have that one person in your life. You know exactly who I am talking about. The one who knows how to pull you in every single time. And every time they do, you end up in a conversation you regret, feeling emotions you did not choose, acting like a version of yourself you do not even recognize. I have been there more times than I want to admit. And this episode is about how we stop doing that. I brought in Jefferson Fisher, one of the most practical communication minds I have come across in a long time. He is not going to give you philosophy. He is going to give you the exact words to use when someone is being passive aggressive, when the conversation is going sideways, when you feel yourself being pushed around. Real phrases. Real situations. Stuff you can use today. Charles Duhigg comes in and breaks down why communication is one of the most underrated skills in your life and your business, and what the science actually says about how to do it better. Emmanuel Acho challenges you to stop avoiding the hard conversations, because real connection only ever lives on the other side of honesty. And Chuck Weisner teaches the art of listening so well that people will feel more understood by you than they have ever felt before. Then I close it out with something that has been on my mind for a long time. Emotional maturity. The invisible choice you are making every single time you let someone else drag you into their world. I call it living in someone else's house. And once you hear it that way, I promise you, you will never look at your most difficult relationships the same way again. Here is what you are going to take away from this one: Your Emotional Home: Why choosing to enter someone else's emotional chaos is always your decision, not theirs, and how to stop making that choice The Race to the Bottom: Why getting angrier, meaner, or more reactive with difficult people is the one move that guarantees you lose every single time Jefferson Fisher's Exact Phrases: The specific words to use in real time when someone is being passive aggressive, disrespectful, or trying to dominate the conversation What Did You Hear: The single most powerful question you can ask in any argument to immediately bring the temperature down and make the other person feel understood The Uncomfortable Conversation: Why Emmanuel Acho believes the conversations you keep avoiding are the exact ones that will finally set you free The Art of Listening: The match and mirror method and why the people who listen best are almost always the most liked and the most influential people in any room The most intelligent version of you is also the calmest version of you.

What if the life you’re chasing is costing you the life you’re living right now? In this conversation with Priscilla Shirer, I experienced something rare. This wasn’t just a discussion about success or productivity. It was a masterclass in rhythm, presence, and faith. From the moment we started, I could feel the depth of her wisdom and the peace she operates with. And trust me, it challenged me. Because like many of you, I’ve spent years chasing momentum, saying yes, and filling every gap in my calendar. What Priscilla shared flipped that thinking on its head. She broke down the power of saying no in a way I’ve never heard before. Not as rejection, but as alignment. Every no creates space for the right yes. She talked about how saying yes out of guilt or fear always leads to regret, and how protecting your time is actually a way of honoring your priorities. What really hit me was her perspective that when we refuse to step back, we might be blocking someone else’s opportunity to step forward. That level of humility and awareness is rare, and it made me reflect on how I’ve been showing up in my own life. We also went deep on something I think everyone struggles with, trusting God in the middle of uncertainty. Not just saying it, but actually living it. Priscilla made it simple and powerful. Do your part fully, and release the outcome. Stop trying to do God’s job. That idea of creating margin in your life, real space to breathe, think, connect, and even be interrupted, was one of the most impactful parts of this entire conversation. She made me realize that a packed calendar isn’t a badge of honor. It’s often a barrier to the very life we’re trying to build. One of the most emotional moments we shared was around the idea of delaying your life. Waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect conditions, the “someday” that may never come. Priscilla shared how easy it is to miss the treasures in the season you’re currently in because you’re so focused on the next one. That hit me hard. Because the truth is, this is the moment. This is your life. Not someday. Not later. Right now. This episode is about priorities, faith, family, and learning to live with intention. It’s about choosing presence over pressure and purpose over popularity. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from what really matters, this conversation is going to bring you back to center in a powerful way. Key Takeaways: Why saying no is one of the most powerful tools for protecting your purpose How margin creates space for peace, creativity, and meaningful connection The danger of chasing momentum at the expense of your priorities What it really looks like to trust God with your life and outcomes Why the season you’re in right now holds the keys to your future How intentional living shapes your family, your faith, and your legacy 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the real breakthrough in your life isn’t about doing more, but finally letting go of what’s been holding you back from becoming who you already are? In this mashup episode, I brought together some of the most insightful minds I know to talk about something deeper than success. We’re talking about transformation at the identity level. Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down how your thoughts are literally shaping your brain and your future, and how taking control of your mind is the first step toward taking control of your life. Jim Kwik reinforces that by showing you how upgrading your thinking patterns and mental habits can unlock levels of performance you didn’t even know were available to you. This isn’t surface level motivation. This is about rewiring who you believe you are. But it doesn’t stop there. Brooks Laich and Julianne Hough open up about the internal battles we all face when we’re chasing growth while still trying to heal. They share what it really looks like to confront your past, embrace vulnerability, and step into a more authentic version of yourself. Because the truth is, you can’t build a great life on top of a version of you that you haven’t made peace with yet. Real strength comes from doing that inner work, even when it’s uncomfortable. Then you’ll hear from Jamie Kern Lima and Stephen Scoggins, who both share powerful stories about overcoming self-doubt and finally believing they were worthy of success. That voice in your head telling you that you’re not enough is not the truth. It’s conditioning. And once you learn to challenge it, everything in your life begins to change. Awareness is the first step to taking your power back and removing the obstacles that have been quietly stealing your dreams. And what I love about this entire conversation is how Erwin McManus ties it all together. He reminds us that your life is not meant to be lived small or safe. You were created to become something extraordinary, but that requires courage. It requires stepping into uncertainty and choosing growth over comfort again and again. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is not talent. It’s the willingness to evolve. This episode is about identity, healing, and stepping into your true potential. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re capable of more but not sure how to get there, this is the conversation you need right now. You don’t need to become someone new. You need to remove what’s been holding you back from being who you already are. Key Takeaways: How your thoughts are shaping your brain and your future, and how to take control of them Why upgrading your mindset is the fastest path to unlocking higher performance The role vulnerability plays in healing and building deeper connections How to break free from self-doubt and finally believe in your worth The hidden obstacles that silently hold you back from your dreams Why becoming your best self requires courage, growth, and stepping into uncertainty How to stop chasing external validation and start building internal confidence 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the version of you that you’re chasing is still playing way too small? In this conversation with Andy Frisella, we went deep on something most people don’t want to hear but desperately need to understand. Success is not something you arrive at. It is something you chase for the rest of your life. Andy broke down why he genuinely does not feel like he has made it, even after building multiple massive companies, and why that mindset is exactly what keeps him growing. For him, success is the pursuit of your true potential, knowing you will never fully reach it, but choosing to go all in anyway. We talked about what it really takes to win at the highest level, and I can tell you this is not the version of entrepreneurship you see on social media. There is nothing casual about winning. Andy and I both agreed that intensity is not optional. It is required. Most people underestimate the level of urgency and commitment needed to build something meaningful. If you are not willing to bring everything you have, someone else will, and they will pass you. Andy also shared one of the most powerful frameworks I have heard in a long time. He calls it a zero options mentality. Even when you have success, even when you have resources, you operate like you have no backup plan. That mindset forces you to stay sharp, stay hungry, and keep executing. It is not about fear. It is about discipline and ownership. And when you combine that with real mental toughness, you create separation that most people will never close. We also went deep on where the world is going, especially with AI and business. Andy believes the winners will be the ones who use AI to become more efficient behind the scenes, while doubling down on human connection out front. Relationships, culture, and leadership still matter. In fact, they matter more than ever. Ethical entrepreneurs who build great people and great cultures are the ones who will shape the future. This episode is a real look behind the curtain. No hype. No shortcuts. Just the truth about what it takes to build something great, sustain it, and continue to evolve long after most people would have settled. Key Takeaways: Why success is not an endpoint but a lifelong pursuit of your true potential The real level of intensity required to win and why most people fall short What a zero options mentality is and how it keeps you performing at a high level Why mental toughness is the foundation of all success and how to build it How to use AI the right way without losing the human advantage in business The role of ethical entrepreneurship in shaping culture, communities, and the future Sign up for a $1 per month trial period at shopify.com/mylett For a limited time, check out Rho’s Liposomal NAD+ at https://www.rhonutrition.com/discount/mylett and use code MYLETT for 20% off sitewide.

What if the biggest thing holding you back right now isn’t your circumstances… but the version of you that you’ve been unconsciously choosing every single day? In this mashup episode, I brought together Garrain Jones, Marie Forleo, James Clear, Rob Dyrdek, Bert Kreischer, Gary John Bishop, and Robin Sharma to have one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had about identity, habits, and the hidden forces shaping your life. I can tell you this right now, success is not random. It is built. And most people are building the wrong version of themselves without even realizing it. One of the biggest breakthroughs you’re going to hear in this episode is the power of awareness. I say it all the time because it is true. The moment you become aware of your patterns, you take your power back. Awareness is not a finish line, it is something you practice daily, and even catching yourself once can change your life’s trajectory in that moment. Gary John Bishop and I go deep on this idea of stepping back from your automatic responses and realizing you are not your thoughts, you are the one choosing what to do with them. James Clear brings a game changing perspective on habits that I know is going to hit you. Every action you take is casting a vote for the type of person you are becoming. That means your future is not decided in one big moment. It is decided in the small decisions you make every single day. Rob Dyrdek reinforces this idea through the relentless pursuit of becoming your best self, while Marie Forleo reminds you that clarity does not come from thinking, it comes from doing. You cannot wait your way into a better life. We also tackle something that is quietly destroying people’s potential right now, and that is distraction and comparison. Robin Sharma shares how distraction is the death of creative production and how presence is one of the greatest gifts you can give to others and to your own life. And I open up about the battle between your higher self and your lower self, and how comparison, if left unchecked, will rob you of your happiness. The truth is, you cannot build a world class life if you are constantly looking at everyone else’s. Here is what I want you to take from this episode. You do not need a new life. You need a new standard. You need a new identity. You need to start telling a different story about who you are and then back it up with actions every single day. This is not about perfection. It is about alignment. When your habits, your identity, and your standards finally line up, everything in your life begins to change. Key Takeaways: Why awareness is the first and most powerful step to changing your life How small daily habits compound into massive identity shifts over time James Clear’s concept of casting votes for the person you want to become Why distraction and comparison are silently killing your potential How to separate from your old story and create a new identity The difference between your higher self and lower self and how to live in alignment Why clarity comes from action, not overthinking I want you to listen to this episode with one question in mind. Who am I becoming with the choices I am making today? Because the answer to that question is your future. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.
