Preparation is the “whole ticket” to unlocking productive energy and flow, enabling you to perform smoothly under pressure and lead by example in any environment. Sound Bites: “The only way to really manage our time is to better manage our energy.” “Pressure isn’t the enemy—it’s the invitation to show up, take responsibility, and lead.” “Productive thinking isn’t always positive. Sometimes, things just simply suck—and that can still move us forward.” Connect & Discover Dr Haley: Instagram: @drhaleyperlus Linkedin: @dr-haley-perlus-33ab2219 YouTube: @drhaleyperlus Book: Personal Podium: How to Use Your Mind to Maximize Your Potential In Sport and Life 🔥 Ready to Unleash Your Inner Game-Changer? 🔥   Mick Hunt’s BEST SELLING book, How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One: The Blueprint for Modern Leadership, is here to light a fire under your ambition and arm you with the real-talk strategies that only Mick delivers.  👉 Grab your copy now and level up your life → Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million    FOLLOW MICK ON: Spotify: MickUnplugged Instagram: @mickunplugged  Facebook: @mickunplugged YouTube:  @MickUnpluggedPodcast  LinkedIn: @mickhunt  Website:  MickHuntOfficial.com Apple: MickUnplugged Learn more about your ad choices.

• Candid Conversations with Scott Galloway

  Scott Galloway is a serial entrepreneur, NYU Stern professor, and best-selling author known for his candid takes on business, masculinity, and modern leadership. Raised by a single immigrant mother, Scott Galloway built and sold companies worth hundreds of millions and has dedicated his career to unpacking the realities of success and manhood in today's society. His latest book, "Notes on Being a Man," challenges conventional wisdom while offering a blueprint for personal growth, fatherhood, and meaningful dialogue about what it means to be a man. Key Takeaways: The crisis of masculinity today isn't just about men feeling lost—it's reflected in statistics surrounding addiction, homelessness, suicide, and economic viability. Empathy and honest conversations are needed to help young men find purpose and direction. Social isolation and lack of social capital are major issues facing young men, fueled by screen-addiction and technology that keeps them disengaged from real relationships and experiences. True parental impact comes from presence—whatScott Galloway calls "garbage time"—consistent, non-scripted moments where children feel valued and loved. Hard conversations and genuine involvement from male role models are essential for building resilient, confident adults. Sound Bites: "If you walk into a morgue and there's five people who've died by suicide, four of them are men." "Young men age 20 to 30 are now spending less time outside than prison inmates." "Garbage time, having the tough conversations and always ensuring that every day they know... that's the thing, it's most important to me in my life is seeing them and talking to them."

• Harmonizing Life, Leadership, and Legacy with JoAnne Bass

  JoAnne Bass is a trailblazing leader and the 19th Chief Master Sergeant of the United States Air Force, celebrated for her 31-year military career and transformational impact on service members, veterans, and families. As the daughter of an Army soldier, JoAnne’s lifelong passion for national defense guided her journey from enlisted recruit to the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force, making history as the first woman to hold this prestigious position. Now retired and thriving in her “payback tour,” JoAnne serves as a strategic advisor, nonprofit ambassador, and advocate for veteran empowerment, family, and personal well-being—all while continuing to inspire others with her relentless commitment to servant leadership and building a free, prosperous nation for future generations. Takeaways: Military Service & Community: Only 1% of Americans serve in the military, but JoAnne emphasizes that support and understanding must come from the entire country to maintain national security, recruit future talent, and honor those who serve. Leadership as a Journey: Effective leadership isn’t a single moment—it’s a series of “reps and sets” built over decades, marked by learning from every experience and empowering others to reach their full potential. Self-care & Harmonizing Life: JoAnne learned over her career that genuine self-care is essential for leaders, and harmonizing rather than balancing work and family paves the way for meaningful relationships and sustainable success. Sound Bytes: “Only 1% of our nation serves. ... Yet we are a free and prosperous nation because of that 1%.” “Leadership is absolutely a journey... Every assignment that I had, every duty title, every team I worked with—it was all a setup for the next chapter.” “Self-care is not selfish. If I take care of myself, I can be a better mother, wife, leader, airman, and community partner.” Connect & Discover Jo: LinkedIn: @jo-bass Instagram: @thejoannebass 🔥 Ready to Unleash Your Inner Game-Changer? 🔥   Mick Hunt’s BEST SELLING book, How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One: The Blueprint for Modern Leadership, is here to light a fire under your ambition and arm you with the real-talk strategies that only Mick delivers.  👉 Grab your copy now and level up your life → Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million    FOLLOW MICK ON: Spotify: MickUnplugged Instagram: @mickunplugged  Facebook: @mickunplugged YouTube:  @MickUnpluggedPodcast  LinkedIn: @mickhunt  Website:  MickHuntOfficial.com Apple: MickUnplugged Learn more about your ad choices.

• The Real Secrets of Divorce: Jacqueline Newman on Protecting Your Wealth

  Jacqueline Newman is one of New York City's top divorce attorneys, renowned for her fierce advocacy, strategic clarity, and ability to guide high-net-worth individuals and power couples through difficult transitions with dignity and class. A sought-after speaker and author of "The 12 Secrets to Protecting Your Wealth, Health, and Happiness," Jacqueline combines sharp legal insight with genuine compassion, helping clients navigate the emotional and financial complexities of divorce. With a background influenced by her psychotherapist parents and decades of experience, she’s redefined how divorces can be handled—championing communication, emotional intelligence, and smarter strategies for stronger outcomes.  Takeaways: Divorce is about strategy, not emotion. Emotional intelligence—like self-awareness, empathy, and communication—plays a critical role in navigating both relationships and their endings. Communication breakdown is the number one reason for divorce. Failed expectations and outgrowing each other follow closely, with affairs often being a symptom rather than the root cause. Wealth complicates divorces due to liquidity and valuation challenges, but prenups can actually strengthen relationships by forcing transparent, difficult conversations about money and expectations.  Sound Bites: "You could be as smart as a whip, but if you cannot communicate effectively with my clients in a way they can relate, it’s not going to matter how intelligent you are." "Affairs are one of the big ones—it is so hurtful, but courts are just not interested unless there’s money spent. It’s a hard pill for many people to swallow." "Prenuptial agreements aren’t just practical—they can actually be romantic, because they force couples to learn how to have difficult conversations and communicate honestly about money."

• Redemption in Real Time with Quincy Carter

  UGA Game Day Special Release Quincy Carter is a University of Georgia football icon, former Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback, and a model of resilience and redemption. Hailing from humble beginnings in Chicago and Atlanta, Quincy excelled as a multi-sport athlete, being drafted by the Chicago Cubs out of high school before shining at UGA and making NFL history as a trailblazing African American quarterback. His journey, however, has been marked by both triumphant highs and challenging setbacks—including battles with addiction and the struggle to rebuild his life. Today, Quincy is an inspiring speaker and mentor, openly sharing his story in hopes of helping young athletes and anyone facing adversity find purpose, faith, and a path to a brighter future.  Key Takeaways: Overcoming Adversity: Quincy’s story is a powerful example of overcoming personal and professional setbacks, including addiction, through faith, accountability, and support. Breaking Barriers: As one of the few African American quarterbacks to start for both UGA and the Dallas Cowboys, Quincy set a precedent and opened doors for future generations in sports. Redemption and Purpose: Quincy’s second act is all about giving back—he is deeply committed to mentoring youth, advocating for drug-free communities, and spreading a message of hope and resilience. Sound Bites: “Getting that phone call at graduation practice was pretty cool...to get that call from the Cubs, my hometown team, it was a dream come true.” “I started smoking weed, Mick. And it’s a habit that I formed...eventually, it caught up to me. What’s done in the dark eventually comes to light, and it bit me in my butt.” “God gave me grace. He gave me a second chance, man. And I'm just thankful now to be able to tell my story and help someone else.” Connect & Discover Quincy: Instagram: @quincylavoncarter LinkedIn: @quincylcarter Website: quincycarter17.com Website: thequincycarterfoundation.com 🔥 Ready to Unleash Your Inner Game-Changer? 🔥   Mick Hunt’s BEST SELLING book, How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One: The Blueprint for Modern Leadership, is here to light a fire under your ambition and arm you with the real-talk strategies that only Mick delivers.  👉 Grab your copy now and level up your life → Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million    FOLLOW MICK ON: Spotify: MickUnplugged Instagram: @mickunplugged  Facebook: @mickunplugged YouTube:  @MickUnpluggedPodcast  LinkedIn: @mickhunt  Website:  MickHuntOfficial.com Apple: MickUnplugged Learn more about your ad choices.
