    #287: Kevin Anderson — The #1 New York Times Editor Behind 50+ National Bestsellers
    Feb 9 2026
    In this episode, Mike welcomes Kevin Anderson, New York Times bestselling editor and founder of Kevin Anderson & Associates, the world's largest and most prestigious book-writing firm, for a candid conversation about growth, delegation, and the hidden power of publishing. Kevin brings decades of experience working behind the scenes with top entrepreneurs, executives, and thought leaders to help them scale their impact through books. Kevin breaks down the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make, including trying to do everything themselves and waiting too long to bring in professional support. He explains why delegation isn't optional for scaling and how letting go of control is often the pivotal shift that unlocks real growth. The conversation then turns to Kevin's unexpected path into ghostwriting, which evolved into a firm that now collaborates on nearly 500 books each year. He pulls back the curtain on how high-level ghostwriting actually works, how collaborative teams preserve an author's voice and credibility, and why books remain unmatched as authority and marketing assets. Mike and Kevin also tackle the role of AI in publishing, exploring why technology hasn't replaced human storytelling, and the risks authors face when they rely on it too heavily. Smart, sharp, and packed with real-world insight, this episode is essential for entrepreneurs, authors, and anyone ready to scale their business with intention. IN THIS EPISODE: ➡️ THE AUTHORITY ADVANTAGE: How publishing a book transforms credibility into long-term influence and opportunity ➡️ HUMAN OVER HYPE: How AI hasn't replaced authentic storytelling or strategic thinking ➡️ BUILT TO LAST: Creating teams, systems, and leadership structures that support expansion without burnout ➡️ SCALING WITH INTENTION: Why delegation—not hustle—is the true catalyst for sustainable business growth 📘 BONUS TAKEAWAY: The sooner you take action, whether publishing a book or hiring the right experts, the sooner your work compounds, builds authority, and opens doors that you won't access by waiting. 🚀 PERFECT FOR: Entrepreneurs, business owners, thought leaders, and aspiring authors who want their book to build real authority.

  • #286: Fred Joyal — Superbold: From Under-Confident to Charismatic in 90 Days

    #286: Fred Joyal — Superbold: From Under-Confident to Charismatic in 90 Days
    Feb 2 2026

    What if confidence isn't something you're born with, but something you build?

    This week, Mike welcomes Fred Joyal, bestselling author, international keynote speaker, and co-founder of 1-800-DENTIST, the nation's leading dentist referral service, which generated more than $1 billion in revenue under his leadership. Once deeply introverted, Fred transformed his life through one powerful realization: bold action creates confidence, not the other way around. Now the author of Superbold: From Under Confident to Charismatic in 90 Days, Fred reveals how boldness is not a personality trait; it's a learnable life skill.

    Through personal stories and practical strategies, Fred shows how small, intentional acts of courage can create massive momentum in both life and business. Listeners are taken behind the scenes of the rise of 1-800-DENTIST, from early risk-taking to national expansion, including the leadership pivots, economic challenges, and cultural foundations that fueled its success. He explains how transparency, adaptability, and trust became the pillars of long-term growth.

    One of the episode's most unexpected insights comes from Fred's experience with improv comedy, which reshaped his communication style and elevated his public-speaking confidence, proving that growth often begins far outside your comfort zone. From lessons learned through his mother's bold parenting to actionable techniques for strengthening your own "boldness muscle," this episode delivers inspiration you can immediately put into action.

    If you've ever hesitated to speak up, take the leap, or trust yourself, this conversation is your invitation to stop waiting and start moving.

    Because confidence isn't discovered. It's built.

    🚀 PERFECT FOR:

    Entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, and anyone who feels that they are called to do more but are held back by fear or self-doubt.

    #285: Yun Rhee — Awakening Your Potential: Energy Alignment & Nervous System Regulation
    Jan 26 2026
    What if everything you've been taught about success is wrong? In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Mike sits down with Yun Rhee—a visionary leader, community builder, human potential catalyst, and founder of The Elevated Oracle—for a conversation that bridges ancient spiritual wisdom with cutting-edge science. Yun brings a rare perspective on personal transformation, blending deep intuition with modern research to challenge conventional definitions of achievement and fulfillment. From her early journey as a Korean immigrant shaped by discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance, Yun reveals how the traditional model of "work harder to get ahead" left many disconnected from their true gifts. What followed was a profound awakening that led her into the worlds of energy work, paradigm shifting, quantum sound therapy, and conscious creation, reshaping how she approaches purpose, leadership, and human potential. Together, Mike and Yun explore energy alignment, subconscious reprogramming, and the science of quantum thinking, including the role of gamma brainwaves in creativity and peak performance. Yun explains how meditation, breathwork, nervous-system regulation, and quantum sound therapy can unlock hidden potential and restore energetic flow. Insightful, inspiring, and deeply empowering, this episode invites listeners to step beyond conditioning, reconnect with their higher self, and design a life guided by purpose, alignment, and possibility. IN THIS EPISODE: ➡️ QUANTUM AWAKENING: Breaking free from subconscious programming to activate untapped potential ➡️ ENERGY ALIGNED CREATION: How frequency, intention, and breath shape your reality ➡️ NERVES OF GREATNESS: Mastering the nervous system to unlock clarity, calm, and peak performance ➡️ COMMUNITY BY DESIGN: Building environments where technology, connection, and purpose converge 📘 BONUS TAKEAWAY: Personal growth accelerates when inner alignment meets practical application. By combining self-awareness, intentional daily practices, and supportive environments, lasting change becomes not only possible but repeatable across every area of life. 🚀 PERFECT FOR: Entrepreneurs, changemakers, and high-achievers seeking to unlock their full potential. It's also perfect for anyone ready to move beyond outdated "work harder" mindsets, embrace authenticity, align their energy, and create a life of purpose, impact, and meaningful growth.
