    Mick Unplugged

    Everybody talks about your WHY. Mick Hunt goes deeper.

    Mick Unplugged is the leadership and personal growth podcast built on one idea: your BECAUSE is the purpose underneath your purpose, and it is the most powerful force you own. Hosted by Mick Hunt, USA Today bestselling author and the voice of Modern Leadership, every episode sits across from a high performer, founder, athlete, or culture-shaper and asks the one question they cannot fake an answer to. What is your BECAUSE?

    Past guests include Shark Tank stars Daymond John and Kevin O’Leary, entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, motivational legend Les Brown, Chef Robert Irvine, comedians Rickey Smiley and Earthquake, NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen, hospitality mogul David Grutman, and World Series champion Jeremy Guthrie. No scripts. No surface-level fluff. Just the real fire behind why they refused to quit.

    If you are a leader, an entrepreneur, or someone who is done coasting on motivational quotes, this is your show. You will walk away every week with mindset shifts, leadership strategy, and the kind of straight talk that actually moves you forward.

    New episodes drop weekly. Follow Mick Unplugged on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube so you never miss one.

    Your BECAUSE is your Superpower. Go Unleash It.

    Don’t Just Survive-Thrive: Strategy and Stories from Eddie Hartman Jan 29, 2026
    Show notes

    Eddie Hartman is a tech visionary, scale architect, and entrepreneur renowned for co-founding LegalZoom, a company that revolutionized legal access for millions by bringing legal empowerment to the masses. With a track record of launching new ventures and mentoring the next generation of founders, Eddie is known for his relentless innovation and practical wisdom. As an author, he co-wrote "Monetizing Innovation" and "Scaling Innovation," essential reads for anyone serious about building sustainable businesses. His life's mission is to help others not just survive the challenges of entrepreneurship but truly thrive.

    Takeaways:

    • Embrace Both Success and Failure: Eddie believes that entrepreneurs should discuss their failures as openly as their successes, highlighting the importance of resilience and learning from setbacks.
    • Value and Pricing Are Everything: A common blind spot for founders is not testing whether customers will actually pay for their product, and undervaluing their services is a typical misstep. Charging based on real value—and being willing to ask for more—is crucial for growth.
    • Recurring Revenue and Relationships Win: Transitioning from one-time transactions to ongoing relationships, such as subscriptions, can transform any business—even the most traditional industries—by focusing on long-term customer value and retention.

    Sound Bytes:

    "You do not have to face the odds which are daunting that most people face as entrepreneurs today. There are a few things you can do to radically improve your chances of success."

    "If you only perfect the recipe and get it out there, but people aren’t willing to pay what you need, then you’re not in possession of a business idea—you’ve got a great hobby."

    "Every person who leaves you as a customer at one point said yes. Your job is to figure out what changed between yes and cancellation."

    Aging with Dignity: Isabelle Guarino Redefines Senior Care Jan 26, 2026
    Show notes

    Isabelle Guarino is the CEO of RAL Academy and a pioneering force in transforming the assisted living industry. Inspired by personal experience and her father's legacy, Isabelle empowers others to profit with purpose by turning residential assisted living into a vehicle for wealth, impact, and dignity. Through her educational programs, bestselling books, and heartfelt mentorship, she helps entrepreneurs create compassionate care homes that honor seniors while giving families peace of mind and financial freedom.


    Takeaways:

    • Residential assisted living offers a homelike, dignified alternative to institutional care, allowing seniors to age with respect and families to remain connected in meaningful ways.
    • Entrepreneurs can build impactful and profitable businesses in assisted living without being hands-on caregivers, by owning and operating residential homes and leveraging state licensing for both general and memory care.
    • Achieving success in this space (and any entrepreneurial venture) requires taking action, commitment, and coachability—not just knowledge and intention.

    Sound Bytes:

    “There’s something in the middle called residential assisted living, and it’s just a much better option for everyone involved.” — Isabelle Guarino

    “In a traditional big box facility, you’ll have 30 seniors to one caregiver. In an RAL, you might have four to one or five to one. That could be the difference between life and death.” —Isabelle Guarino

    “You are allowing the daughter or son to be a daughter or son once again... That is so beautiful to give back to families in this way.” — Isabelle Guarino

    • Purposeful Living: Ernie Hudson attributes his career and life’s successes to living with purpose and honoring the gifts given to him, always striving to be a role model and example of possibility.
    • Integrity in Roles: Throughout his career, Ernie has been selective with the roles he accepts, consistently ensuring his characters reflect principle and authenticity—even when it meant turning down lucrative opportunities that didn’t align with his values.
    • Family First: Ernie’s journey as a single father and later as the patriarch in The Family Business highlights his dedication to family, how personal responsibility drove his perseverance, and how being a dad mattered more to him than professional acclaim.

    Brand and Lead Gen Secrets from Joe McCarthy’s Playbook Jan 15, 2026
    Show notes

    Joe McCarthy is a powerhouse branding strategist and entrepreneur renowned for his relentless approach and trailblazing results in the digital business world. As the brain behind rapidly scaling brands like Gem Social and Grow With Us Agency, Joe specializes in lead generation, crafting magnetic personal brands, and helping influencers and entrepreneurs scale their businesses. Known for his servant mindset and transparency, he takes pride in guiding others to find their voice, optimize their offers, and achieve profitable, sustainable growth online. With a proven track record and a client roster filled with success stories, Joe brings a no-nonsense, value-first approach to building brands that convert.

    Takeaways:

    • Build a Strong Foundation: Success in personal branding starts with foundational work—clarifying your target audience, your own voice, values, and what unique value you offer. Skipping these steps can leave you struggling to create real impact or connect with the right people.

    • Brand and Lead Gen Go Hand-in-Hand: Building a great brand and effective lead generation aren’t separate pursuits; they’re deeply interconnected. An optimized brand attracts the right audience, while strategic lead gen processes convert interest into tangible results.

    • Value First, Sales Second: Leading with service, not sales, is the key to authentic business growth. When you provide overwhelming value and genuinely care about serving your audience, selling becomes a natural, trust-based outcome.

    Sound Bytes:

    “Your brand is your business card and your resume—it shows people upfront your values, beliefs, and skills.”

    “People don’t share or save content unless they truly resonate with your message. Nail the messaging and the rest will follow.”

    “If you know your service is great, it’s almost selfish not to get it in front of the people who need it.”

    Why Adversity Can Be a Gift: Jordan Mendoza Breaks It Down Jan 12, 2026
    Show notes

    Jordan Mendoza is a globally recognized expert in branding and business growth, celebrated for his resilience and trailblazing approach to overcoming adversity. Born to a diverse heritage, Jordan grew up learning lessons in perseverance from his mother, who was born with only one lung. Despite being voted "least likely to succeed" in high school, Jordan defied the odds and built a powerful personal brand, becoming a sought-after keynote speaker and LinkedIn powerhouse. He is the author of "The Life-Changing Power of Adversity," a book focused on turning struggles into opportunities and helping others blaze their own trail to success. Today, Jordan is also the host of the Blaze Your Own Trail podcast and is committed to empowering others to find their voice, share their story, and unlock their greatest potential.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Adversity is a Gift: Jordan emphasizes that adversity, when faced head-on and unpacked, offers valuable life lessons and growth opportunities. He encourages listeners to view challenges as gifts to be unwrapped, not just obstacles to be endured.

    • Your Story Has Power: Sharing your personal story, especially your struggles and how you overcame them, is essential—not just for personal healing, but for helping others realize they’re not alone and inspiring them to overcome their own challenges.

    • Start Before You’re Ready: Whether launching a podcast, building a brand, or publishing a book, Jordan urges people to take action even if they feel unqualified or nervous. Progress and confidence come from putting in the reps and learning along the way.

    Sound Bytes:

    "Adversity is a gift as long as we're willing to open it, to unwrap it, and to dive into all that it has to offer."

    "Everyone has a story. Most people haven't mustered up the courage yet to share it."

    "If you just start showing up, posting short videos, sharing tips and stories, you'll find your people."

    Redefining Academic Excellence with Jennifer Ledwith Jan 10, 2026
    Show notes

    Jennifer Ledwith, founder of ScholarReady, is a renowned educator and mentor based in Houston, Texas, celebrated for her relentless commitment to empowering students both academically and personally. With over 20 years of experience, Jennifer specializes in helping students build confidence, attain educational freedom, and achieve college admission success—without the crushing burden of student debt. Through her innovative College Ready program, she works with students and families from as early as seventh grade, focusing on literacy, foundational skills, and practical strategies for long-term academic and financial success. Her approach combines deep care, respect for each student’s unique motivations, and proven methods to help young people unlock opportunities and dreams.


    Takeaways

    • Educational Freedom Starts Early: Jennifer stresses that the path to real educational opportunity and freedom from student loan debt begins well before the 11th or 12th grade. Building strong reading and comprehension skills from an early age is the foundation for test success and scholarship opportunities.

    • Individualized, Respectful Guidance: Jennifer’s unique approach involves learning each student’s “why” and working collaboratively with them—respecting their knowledge and allowing them to try their own methods while gently guiding them towards proven strategies when needed.

    • Parents as Key Partners: Parents should take an active role in their child’s educational journey, administering practice tests early, understanding their child’s strengths and challenges, and making consistent literacy and academic engagement a family affair, much like youth sports.

    Sound Bytes

    “All kinds of technology can be used for good and used for bad—we just have to figure out how to help students learn how to use technology positively.” – Jennifer Ledwith

    “Education is supposed to give you freedom. When you’re educated, you have choices.” –Jennifer Ledwith

    How to Build a Life That Doesn't Quit: Shawn French Explains Jan 08, 2026
    Show notes

    Shawn French is a speaker, coach, and podcast host whose life and brand are built on resilience, discipline, and unyielding determination. Drawing from overcoming personal adversity and healing childhood wounds, he has transformed his journey into a mission to inspire and push others to stop negotiating with their greatness. Through his work, including the acclaimed "Determined Society" podcast and community, Shawn French empowers leaders and individuals to harness their pain, elevate their standards, and pursue their purpose with intention, discipline, and grit.

    Takeaways:

    • Standards Over Goals: Success is rooted in maintaining personal standards, not just chasing goals. Standards become your minimum expectation and shape who you are during the journey.

    • Discipline is Freedom: The daily commitment to mundane, consistent habits grants true freedom and peace of mind, allowing individuals to move forward with zero regrets.

    • Embrace the Mundane: Lasting impact and achievement come from relentlessly executing the unglamorous, everyday tasks—even when motivation is low.

    Sound Bytes:

    "If it feeds the mission, then eat it, then go for it. But if it moves you further away from your goal, retreat. Don't do it."

    "You have to be able to drop the walls and take that ego... I have to be vulnerable in this moment and admit that I didn't perform because of me."

    "Discipline is freedom. Because when you act on that, there's nothing anyone can say... You have earned that moment no matter what."

    Shatter Boundaries: Harnessing the Brain for Growth with John Assaraf Jan 05, 2026
    Show notes

    John Assaraf is a renowned entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, neuroscience expert, and founder of NeuroGym. With a career spanning over four decades, John has built multiple multi-million-dollar companies and dedicated his life to helping millions break through self-imposed limits. He is recognized for translating complex neuroscience into practical strategies for personal and professional growth, focusing on the power of identity, mindset, and the mechanics of the brain. John’s mission is to empower others to engineer success from the inside out and unlock their full potential.

    Takeaways:

    • Identity Drives Change: John emphasizes that true, lasting change begins with transforming your identity—how you see yourself—since you will never outperform your own self-image.

    • The Brain is Wired for Safety, Not Success: Our brains are naturally designed to keep us safe and avoid pain, not to achieve success. Recognizing and consciously working with this wiring is critical to overcoming self-sabotage and achieving new levels.

    • Upgrade Your Inner Software: Just like technology, your beliefs, habits, and identity are ‘software’ that can be intentionally upgraded through practice, self-awareness, and emotional regulation—leading to greater achievement in all areas of life.

    Sound Bytes:

    “We will never, ever, ever outperform our hidden self-image of ourselves.”

    “Our brain is wired to keep us safe, not successful.”

    “You can practice a new identity the same way a basketball player practices free throws—until it becomes automatic.”
