Managing your energy isn't just about productivity—it's about reclaiming control over what truly matters.

In my latest solo episode, I share a straightforward strategy to regain control, reset and refocus, and prioritize effectively. It will empower you to take control of your energy before the world decides for you.
Damon West has an incredible journey of transformation and redemption that you won’t want to miss. A promising college football quarterback, Damon seemingly had it all before a career-ending injury spiraled into drug addiction.

Since his parole more than seven years later, Damon has dedicated his life to inspiring others. Today he is a much sought-after speaker and best-selling coauthor of “The Coffee Bean” with Jon Gordon.

What if everything we’ve been told about happiness is wrong? So wrong that it’s making us miserable? On this episode, I chat with Stephanie Harrison, an expert in the science of happiness and the creator of the New Happy philosophy. Stephanie's journey began when she realized that having everything she ever wanted still left her feeling deeply unhappy. Over the next ten years, she set out to discover what truly makes people happy, and her findings might surprise you. Stephanie has compiled her insights into her debut book, New Happy. We discuss the three lies that society tells us about happiness: that we need to be perfect, constantly achieve more, and do everything alone. We'll also explore a counterintuitive truth: to be truly happy, we need to help others find happiness.
