My #1 Key to Happiness

Stop Chasing Balance—Start Living Fully What if the very thing you’ve been chasing—work-life balance—is actually keeping you stuck, frustrated, and unfulfilled? In this mashup episode, I dive deep into one of the most misunderstood ideas in personal growth and reveal the truth: balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it may be costing you the joy, presence, and fulfillment you’re searching for. I share the real key to creating a life you love—presence. Whether I’m running multiple businesses, spending time with my family, or in the gym, I’ve learned that the quality of my life isn’t about balancing it all perfectly. It’s about being fully present in the moment I’m in. When I walk through my front door, my phone stays in the car so my family knows they are my top priority. When I’m in business, I’m locked in. When I’m in prayer or observing God’s beauty, I’m all there. You’ll also hear about one of the greatest superpowers you can cultivate: becoming an observer of your own life. From holding a hug just a few seconds longer, to noticing the details of a leaf, to truly seeing the people around you—these small acts of observation expand your gratitude, your self-awareness, and your ability to connect deeply with others. And connection is the gateway to influence, impact, and true joy. Finally, I break down the path to lasting fulfillment. Happiness isn’t about money, titles, or things—it’s about finding your calling, your mission, your crusade. Sometimes that’s your career. Sometimes it’s a side cause or a mission that has nothing to do with your job. But it always involves your unique gifts, and it always involves serving others. Wealth, when built on this foundation, gives you the freedom to spend your time on what matters most. That’s where fulfillment lives. Key Takeaways from this episode: Why “work-life balance” is a fallacy—and what to pursue instead The game-changing habit of being fully present in every moment How observation unlocks gratitude, self-awareness, and influence Why your calling doesn’t always have to be your career The true pathway to fulfillment: using your gifts to serve others How wealth, when built on purpose, creates ultimate freedom This conversation is not just about living “balanced”—it’s about living maxed out. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 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 happens when one of the greatest comedians of our generation sits down to share not just laughs—but the wisdom, faith, and life lessons behind his journey? This conversation with Jeff Foxworthy is more than an interview—it’s a masterclass on humility, purpose, and what truly lasts. Jeff is known as the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time, with a career that has spanned decades on stage, television, and beyond. But in this conversation, you’ll meet the man behind the jokes. Jeff opens up about his roots, the pain of growing up with an absent father, and how those experiences shaped his commitment to family and faith. He shares how comedy wasn’t just a career—it was a God-given gift, one he’s worked to steward faithfully over the years. What moved me most about Jeff isn’t just his success, but his perspective on identity and legacy. He reminds us that what you do isn’t who you are. Fame, wealth, and achievements all fade, but character, kindness, and faith endure. As Jeff puts it, attaching your worth to temporary things—whether beauty, muscles, or material success—will rob you of lasting joy. True identity comes from something eternal. This episode is full of wisdom for the next generation. We talk about living with humility, the danger of bitterness, and why forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. Jeff’s reflections are as real and grounded as they are inspiring, and they’ll leave you evaluating your own life, not by what you’ve achieved, but by the legacy you’re building for those who come after you. This is one of those rare conversations that’s bigger than entertainment—it’s about faith, purpose, and the timeless lessons that outlive us all. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded in success, how to pass on wisdom to your children, or how to live a life that matters long after you’re gone, you’ll want to lean into every moment. Key Takeaways: Why your identity should never be tied to temporary success or circumstances The power of seeing your gifts as a responsibility, not an entitlement How childhood wounds can become fuel for building stronger families Why forgiveness and humility are central to living a free and fulfilled life How to think generationally and leave a lasting legacy of faith and purpose This isn’t just an interview; it’s a legacy conversation. Jeff’s words will make you laugh, make you reflect, and make you think about the story you’re writing with your own life. And the best part? This is just the beginning. Stay tuned—Part 2 of my interview with Jeff Foxworthy is coming soon. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 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 Kind of Legacy Will You Leave? Most of us are working hard to build our businesses, provide for our families, and maybe even create a little security for the future. But what if the bigger question isn’t about what you leave behind—it’s about what you set in motion? In this conversation with David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High, CEO of The Legacy Stone, we get real about what it takes to live and lead with eternity in mind. These two men are not just business leaders who’ve created billions in value and impact—they’re men who have chosen to orient their lives around family, faith, and generational change. And trust me, the way they’ve done it will challenge you to rethink everything you thought success was supposed to look like. David opens up about starting Hobby Lobby with just a $600 loan and how his focus wasn’t on “exit strategies” or building wealth for wealth’s sake, but on being faithful day by day. Bill shares how losing his father at 12 shaped his entire understanding of legacy—and why waiting until “someday” to invest in your family is a mistake you can’t afford to make. Together, they break down practical principles like creating a family vision, crafting a code of conduct, and the power of storytelling to pass down values for generations. This conversation hit me hard on a personal level. I shared how my own father made one decision to get sober when I was 15, and how that single choice altered the course of my family forever. These stories are proof that it’s never too late to change the trajectory of your life—or your family’s future. Whether you’re a CEO, an entrepreneur, or just someone trying to be more present with your loved ones, you’re going to walk away from this episode with clarity on what matters most. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to succeed in business without losing sight of your family or your faith, this interview is living proof that you can. And not just that—you must. Key Takeaways: Why legacy isn’t just about what you leave behind, but what you set in motion How to create a family vision, mission, and code of conduct that lasts for generations The power of storytelling to instill values in your children and grandchildren Why financial success alone is never the true measure of wealth How one small, faithful decision can change your family’s trajectory forever This isn’t just a business conversation—it’s a life conversation. One that will inspire you to think bigger, live with intention, and build something that outlasts you. —Max Out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 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.

The Real Secret Behind Success That Nobody Talks About What if success wasn’t about talent, luck, or even hard work—but about who you become in the process? In this mashup, I bring together three powerhouse voices—Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins, Maria Shriver, and Percy “Master P” Miller—to reveal the truth about success that most people overlook. These aren’t theories. These are battle-tested lessons born from pain, reinvention, and the courage to carve your own lane when the world tells you it’s impossible. Jeezy takes us inside the moment he left the streets behind to bet it all on music—and how life’s hardest hits, from losing his voice to battling Bell’s palsy, forced him to confront who he really was. His story is a raw reminder that success isn’t about avoiding setbacks, but about finding strength and faith in the middle of them. Maria Shriver opens up about growing up in a legendary family where confidence wasn’t inherited—it had to be earned . She shares the lessons she’s learned about self-worth, identity, and how breaking free from old beliefs can open the door to your true calling . Her honesty is a masterclass in building a life not defined by other people’s expectations, but by your own truth. And then there’s Master P—an icon who turned “No Limit” from a mindset into a movement. From selling music out of his trunk to building generational wealth, he breaks down why consistency beats talent, why faith without work is dead, and why not all money is good money . His wisdom on integrity, entrepreneurship, and refusing to accept “headache money” will challenge you to raise your standards in life and business . Every story in this episode points back to one truth: Success isn’t what you think. It’s not a destination, a bank account, or a title. It’s about transformation—becoming your “other self” on the other side of adversity . And that’s a secret most people will never understand. Key Takeaways: Why the hardest seasons of your life are preparing you for your “other self.” How Jeezy rebuilt his life by walking away from the streets and facing failure head-on. Maria Shriver’s powerful perspective on earning self-confidence and breaking free from limiting beliefs. Master P’s blueprint for entrepreneurship: consistency, faith, and turning down “headache money.” Why success is less about what you get and more about who you become. This is one of those episodes you’ll want to play more than once, because the wisdom in it doesn’t just inspire—it transforms. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 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.

Why Who You Surround Yourself With Will Make—or Break—Your Life In this mashup episode, I sit down with my brother Andy Frisella to unpack one of the most powerful truths about success: your environment dictates your elevation. Who you allow into your circle will determine how far you go, how big you dream, and how much you grow. If you’re serious about reaching the next level in your life, this conversation is going to hit home. Andy brings his raw, no-excuses approach to growth, and together we break down why surrounding yourself with the right people is the ultimate game-changer. From business to relationships to personal development, we dive into how your inner circle can either fuel your vision or drain it. Andy shares the hard lessons he’s learned about cutting ties with negativity, choosing mentors who stretch you, and building a tribe that forces you to elevate instead of settle. This episode isn’t just about “networking.” It’s about choosing proximity on purpose. It’s about realizing that average environments create average outcomes—and if you want an extraordinary life, you need extraordinary people around you. Andy and I reveal how to identify who belongs in your circle, who doesn’t, and the kind of habits and standards that keep your group sharp, hungry, and aligned with greatness. I want you to finish this episode with clarity and conviction about the company you keep. Because if you want to change your life, the fastest and most effective way is to change your circle. Who you surround yourself with will either multiply your growth—or keep you stuck. Key Takeaways: - Why your environment is the ultimate predictor of success - Andy Frisella’s no-excuses method for cutting out toxic relationships - How to build a circle of influence that challenges and elevates you - The difference between real mentors and fake supporters - Why average environments create average outcomes - How to intentionally design proximity that pulls you toward greatness This conversation will challenge you to audit your circle—and make the bold decisions that will change everything about 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.

It Takes Leaders with Vision to Help People with Dreams Have you ever stopped to remember that every single person you meet has a dream? Some of those dreams are massive—building companies, creating wealth, impacting millions of people. And some are simple but just as powerful—a dream for peace, joy, or to be truly happy again. In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most important truths I’ve ever learned: it takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams. I share how your love—love for your family, your spouse, your children, your team—has to be greater than your fear, your adversity, or your obstacles. Because if you’re not attaching your vision to something bigger than yourself, it’s too easy to quit. I walk you through the difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational—and why only one of these creates lasting transformation. We talk about the role of vision in leadership, not just in business, but in your home and in your own life. Whether you’re leading a company, raising a family, or leading yourself, your job is to sell the dream—again and again—until everyone around you can see what you see. And here’s the key: it can’t just be words. You have to validate that vision with massive action so others know it’s real. I share how leaders from Jesus to Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs created movements because they didn’t just speak dreams, they embodied them. And I give you a roadmap for becoming that kind of leader—the kind whose love and vision make them unstoppable. Because the truth is, your dream isn’t just about you. It’s about the people whose lives you’re meant to change when you finally step into your calling. Key Takeaways: Why every person you meet carries a dream in their heart The difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational How to attach your love to your vision so obstacles can’t stop you The importance of repeatedly “selling the dream” in your family, business, and life Why your actions must validate your vision if you want to inspire others Your dream is waiting—and so are the people counting on you to lead them.

How Do You Keep Going When Life Hits You Twice? Today’s guest, Austin Hatch, is a living, breathing miracle—and one of the most inspiring men I’ve ever had the privilege to sit across from. Austin survived not one, but two plane crashes. The first claimed the lives of his mother and siblings. The second, just eight years later, took his father and stepmother and left Austin in a coma, fighting for his life. Yet somehow, against all odds, he not only survived—he found a way to thrive. In this conversation, Austin and I go deep into what it takes to get back up when life knocks you down harder than you ever thought possible. He shares how he rebuilt his body, his faith, and his identity after losing almost everything—and why gratitude, not bitterness, became his anchor. Austin’s story is not about avoiding pain; it’s about choosing purpose through it, believing that God can still write a story of victory even when tragedy has stolen so much. We talk about what it means to carry grief without letting it define you, to forgive life for what it’s taken, and to find meaning in the middle of unimaginable suffering. Austin’s journey to eventually fulfill his dream of playing basketball for the University of Michigan is a testament to what happens when resilience meets faith. This episode is about more than survival—it’s about transformation. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can rise again after devastation, Austin’s story is living proof that you can. Key Takeaways: How Austin survived two plane crashes and found the will to rebuild his life Why gratitude—not bitterness—became his greatest weapon against despair The role faith plays in turning unimaginable tragedy into testimony What it means to carry grief without being defined by it How to keep moving toward your dreams even when everything says it’s over Lean in to this one. Austin’s story will not only move you—it will change the way you see your own challenges. — Max Out ⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 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.
