About the show

Our mission is to inspire a culture of radical responsibility and personal excellence. Over the last decade of my life, I’ve come to believe this simple and profound truth: my life is my fault . My thoughts, feelings, decisions, actions, and personal standards are creating my experience of life. It’s an uncomfortable truth and hard to admit at times, but it’s true nonetheless. To achieve anything worthwhile, individual responsibility must become absolute , and admitting “your life is your fault ” is the first step in taking complete control of your life. The second step is acknowledging your rituals , habits , and beliefs create your results . Every week, we have candid conversations about mindset, personal responsibility, and the pursuit of excellence so that we can lead by example, inspire through action, and create a life on our own terms.
