642: Why Everyone Should Consider Writing a Book with Chandler Bolt

Writing a book is a goal that many people talk about for years, but very few actually follow through. We convince ourselves that we'll get started when life slows down, and before you know it, years have gone by with a great idea just sitting on the back burner. As someone whose life was completely transformed by writing The Miracle Morning book series, I truly believe a book can become one of the most valuable assets you ever create. It can amplify your impact, preserve your legacy, and open doors that would never have opened otherwise. Today, I'm joined by my good friend Chandler Bolt, the founder of SelfPublishing.com and author of Published.: The Proven Path From Blank Page To 10,000 Copies Sold. Chandler has helped thousands of authors write and publish their books and, in the process, has scaled his company into an eight-figure business. In our conversation, Chandler explains why writing a book can become the best business card you'll ever create, how to leverage your book to grow your business, and how he's using AI to help authors write better books and build better companies.

641: 93 Habits That Will Transform Your Life (Starting Day One) with Jon Gordon

Implementing a new habit rarely feels life-changing at first. Going for a morning walk and getting a few minutes of sunlight, or visualizing checking something off a to-do list, might sound like activities that barely move the needle. Yet over time, those small actions often become the difference between feeling stuck and becoming the person you're capable of being. And after reading the first chapter of Jon Gordon's newest book, The Power of Positive Habits, I felt the benefits from that one simple action in the first 5 minutes. Jon is the bestselling author of 33 books, including The Energy Bus, which has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide. But before becoming one of the most respected voices in leadership and personal development, Jon struggled with negativity to the point that his wife told him their marriage wouldn't survive unless he changed. That wake-up call led him on a journey that transformed his mindset, career, and life. In our conversation, Jon shares the habits that reduce friction and make it easier to follow through, why becoming your own greatest encourager can change everything, and how letting go of the past can unlock the mental blocks that prevent you from becoming the best version of yourself.

640: What Happens When You Die? A Man Who's Died 3 Times Tells You with Dannion Brinkley

What happens after you die? It's a question that has fascinated humanity for thousands of years. Today's guest has an answer that might surprise you.  Dannion Brinkley has been clinically dead multiple times, and what he learned from those experiences led him to one extraordinary conclusion: nobody ever dies. Dannion is the bestselling author of Saved by the Light and Secrets of the Light, a hospice volunteer with nearly 50 years of service, and one of the world's most well-known near-death experience survivors.  After being struck by lightning in 1975 and clinically dead for 28 minutes, Dannion says he experienced what he calls a panoramic life review that completely transformed the course of his life. Dannion has devoted his life to helping people face death without fear. He has spent more than 34,000 hours at the bedside of veterans in the VA, provided hospice support to over 2,000 people during their final days, and helped build one of the largest end-of-life volunteer programs for veterans, the Brinkley Center Foundation. In our conversation, Dannion shares what he has learned from decades spent helping people navigate life's final transition, why he believes no one truly dies, what happens during the panoramic life review, and how we can live in a way that brings more love, service, and meaning to the people around us.

639: How To Become Irreplaceable In The Age Of AI with Jeff Burningham

AI is evolving faster than most of us can comprehend. And for many people, it's creating a very real fear about the future. If machines can outthink us and eventually outwork us, what does that mean for our careers, our purpose, and even our identity?  Perhaps an even better question is: what does it mean to be human in the age of AI? Today, I'm joined by Jeff Burningham. Jeff is an entrepreneur, investor, and author who has built more than a dozen companies valued at over a billion dollars and recently released his powerful new book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI. Unlike most conversations about AI that focus on productivity, efficiency, or making more money, Jeff explores something much deeper: how AI can actually help humanity reconnect with wisdom, presence, empathy, and the qualities that make us uniquely human. In our conversation, Jeff explains why AI is not just a technological disruption, but a spiritual challenge and a mirror reflecting humanity back to itself. We talk about fear, optimism, consciousness, emotional regulation, and why wisdom—not intelligence—may become the most valuable human trait moving forward.  If you've felt uncertain or overwhelmed about where humanity is headed, this episode will challenge the way you think about both AI and yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why AI Forces Us To Reevaluate Humanity Why AI Is A Spiritual Challenge For Humanity The Human Qualities AI Can Never Replicate Jeff Addresses The Fears People Have About AI Fear vs. Optimism In The Age Of AI Using AI As A Bridge Back To Human Connection How To Use AI Wisely And Mindfully The Real Challenge Facing Humanity Right Now The Choice Is To Focus On Who You Choose To Be Simple Questions That Reveal Your Awareness What Jeff Hopes Readers Take Away From His Book The Conversation About AI Humanity Needs To Have  Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/639 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

One of the biggest challenges parents face today is creating a real connection with their kids in a world where phones and screens dominate so much of their attention. And here's where it really hits home. We only have "18 summers to create lasting connections" with our kids before they become adults, so why not make the most of it? Today, I'm joined by two of my favorite people, Mike and Lindsay McCarthy. Mike and Lindsay are the co-authors of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families and the Miracle Morning for Parents and Families Playbook.
