In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, ET, CJ, Jemal, and Karl break down a truth most people avoid: you’re not certified for the life you keep asking for. We don’t mean a degree or a license — we’re talking about the inner work, the healing, the consistency, and the mastery that separates dreamers from doers. If your life feels unstable, your vision unclear, or your progress slow… this episode will show you why — and what to do next.

    One Check Away from Broke: Why You’re Not Ready for What’s Coming
    Apr 10 2025
    Most people don’t realize their real stress isn’t the layoff, the diagnosis, or the bad news — it’s the fact that everything in their life is depending on one source. One income. One plan. One backup. And when that one thing fails? Everything starts crashing. In this episode, the guys break down why relying on one stream of income is the fastest route to burnout — and what it looks like to actually prepare for a storm before it comes. If you’ve ever felt like your world was one unexpected bill away from collapse… this one’s for you. You don’t have to live in fear. But you do have to prepare. 👕 List to the full episode and then share it with someone who needs to get their financial foundation in order.

    Mar 20 2025
    In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Secret to Success podcast, we’re diving deep into the mindset shift that separates the weak from the unstoppable. If you’ve ever felt stuck, angry, or held back by your past, this is the episode that will force you to take a hard look in the mirror and make a choice: keep making excuses or use your pain as fuel. ET shares powerful, real-life stories—including how he forgave his father, how love is the ultimate weapon, and why true strength isn’t about never struggling but about rising up when life knocks you down. We also discuss the difference between people who talk about success and those who become successful—and why your excuses won’t cut it anymore. Whether you’re facing struggles in relationships, business, or life itself, this episode will challenge you to stop playing victim and start becoming the version of yourself that refuses to lose. Key Takeaways & Action Steps: 🔥 Face Your Truth – Stop hiding behind your pain. Acknowledge it, own it, and use it as fuel to move forward. ❤️ Love is Power – The real strength isn’t in fighting—it’s in choosing love when you have every reason not to. Forgiveness isn’t for them, it’s for you. 🛠️ Upgrade Your Mindset – Success isn’t just about strategy. It’s about becoming the type of person who attracts success through discipline, focus, and transformation. 🚀 No More Excuses – If you’re not willing to do the hard work—mentally, physically, spiritually—you will never reach your potential.
