This episode deals with challenging and disturbing subject matter, and I want to encourage you to use discretion in deciding whether to listen to or share it. However, I believe that hearing this information can make an enormous difference, so I hope you’ll join me for this important conversation with Tim Ballard. Support Tim and his mission by catching his new film, Sound of Freedom at your local theater.

Did you know that the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world is not drugs, guns, or any kind of fraud? No, the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world is sex trafficking. According to my friend Tim, there are an estimated 30 million slaves in the world today, and about 10 million of those are children.

It’s a serious problem, but there are people out there who want to help. Operation Underground Railroad is a wonderful organization that is undercover in almost every country you can think of working to rescue these children and bring the traffickers to justice. In the six years since Tim founded the organization, they have rescued 3,800 victims and assisted in the arrests of more than 2,100 human traffickers. They’re doing great work, and at the end of the episode, Tim shares how you can get involved.

Gratitude Operates on a Higher Frequency Than Anger Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

The Summit of Greatness is back! Buy your tickets today – summitofgreatness.com –

Kyle Cease is a New York Times best-selling author with two #1 Comedy Central specials to his credit. He has been a guest speaker at thousands of colleges, summits, and Fortune 500 conferences and has made over 100 TV and movie appearances. Kyle teaches that most of our “triggers” are fears we have based on old stories. Once we dig deep to figure out where those are rooted, we can stop letting them control us.

Dr. Joe Dispenza explains how changing our attitude toward our past, we take charge of creating our future. Once we let go of regrets or traumas, we allow ourselves to look at things in a different light. Then, we can start manifesting what’s really important to us. We are only one decision away from living our dreams. Have you made that decision yet? If so, what will it be?

Bob Proctor shares how gratitude operates on a higher frequency than anger, disappointment, and any other negative emotion. While those negative emotions only attract more negativity and sadness, gratitude attracts abundance. When we acknowledge all of the good things in our lives — our families, the roofs over our heads, passions, and ambitions — we attract more of those good things into our lives!

In this episode you will learn,

How to operate with a receiving vibration
Why you should be careful about the way you talk about money
What the Law of Attraction is and how it works.
How to reprogram your minds for happiness and success.
The skills everyone needs in order to make more money.

The Hidden Dangers of the Good Life | Lewis Howes Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

The Summit of Greatness is back! Buy your tickets today – summitofgreatness.com –

Today, we’re going to talk about the dangers of the good life. Maybe you’ve worked your entire life to reach the “good life”. You’ve worked hard to reach a level of comfort and safety – and there’s nothing wrong with that. But once you got there, did you ever feel like something was missing? Did you ever feel unfulfilled, or there was something more out there waiting for you?

When we strive to reach comfort, our safety can often leave us with a scarcity mindset because we’re afraid of losing what we worked so hard for. I respect that, but I also believe that we were meant for SO MUCH MORE. We were meant to unlock our inner greatness and live fulfilling lives full of love and peace.

In this episode, I invite you to step outside of your comfort zone. Maybe you’re following a path you think you’re SUPPOSED to be doing, but you know it’s not what you were BORN to do. Maybe you were on the right path for a season, and now your story has taken an unexpected turn. Wherever you are, you can choose to stay stuck, or choose to break free.

In this episode you will learn,

What is “the good life” we’re taught by modern culture? Let’s define that.
Why so many people are lacking a sense of purpose.
How having a meaningful mission will end the temptation to endlessly wander aimlessly.
Lewis’s personal story of finding his meaningful mission from a very low point.
Why comfort isn’t always bad, and when to embrace and celebrate your wins.
