The Pathway To Your Results

I share what I learned from being around a two-time MVP and why the real edge is living in your own internal world. I also break down my Everesting 29029 climb in Whistler and the mindset that carried me through the messy middle when my body tried to quit. • spotting the difference in elite habits through a 5 a.m. workout • humility and presence as signals of true confidence • building a mental man cave or mental she shed • main character energy as a daily choice not a slogan • trusting yourself instead of copying someone else’s template • Everesting 29029 planning, pacing, and why fueling matters • the dinner gamble, bonking hard, and getting off the mountain safely • making decisions before pain shows up so you don’t negotiate later • consistency and “consistent daily actions” as the real separator • crawling seasons and sprinting seasons that both move you forward • resilience as knowing when to push and when to rest • the emotional breakthrough that turns suffering into pride • greatness as simplicity repeated one step at a time So get yourself in a DG Mindset Academy.

We get real about gratitude as a practice that changes what we notice and therefore changes what we experience. We break down how to stay grounded in gratitude during adversity, even when grief is still in the room. • journaling as a starter tool even when it feels like “just words” • recognition as the first step of gratitude and the gateway to abundance • attention as currency and why focus decides your lived reality • gratitude as a way to change your experience without denying problems • staying grateful with a little before you can handle a lot • holding grief and gratitude at the same time • how scarcity leads to comparison then entitlement • practicing “having” before chasing the next goal • telling people you appreciate them with specific reasons This week, between this podcast and next week, take time to find at least three people.

We break down “new wine into old wineskins” as a practical framework for changing your self-concept and upgrading your life. We connect identity, mindset, and capacity so you stop chasing new outcomes with old beliefs that cannot hold them. • reading Matthew 9:17 and translating it into identity work • identity shaping standards that drive decisions, behaviors, and outcomes • why new growth creates pressure and exposes rigid mindsets • “live from the end result” as a daily practice of embodiment • questions to define the future version of ourselves and act from it • accepting the grief of change while showing compassion to the old self • releasing scarcity mindset so abundance goals stop conflicting internally • building the container first so the new identity can expand and stabilize If you get your butt in the DG Mindset Academy, you will see exactly what I’m talking about.

We start with a real moment from my life that turns into a bigger lesson about where your energy belongs and why other people’s reactions are usually a projection. Then we break down why comfort is not peace, how adversity builds capacity, and how choosing voluntary discomfort helps you grow faster and live bigger. • nothing exists outside of you and the outside world mirrors your inner state • refusing to spend energy policing how other people live • comfort as the absence of challenge and peace as internal stability • the nervous system choosing familiar patterns even when they feel unfulfilling • dreams dying slowly through postponing, comfort seeking, and negotiation • adversity as the mechanism that builds capacity and emotional regulation • voluntary discomfort as a way to choose growth before life forces it • resilience requiring resistance and why instant gratification weakens that muscle • “die empty” as a standard for spending your potential instead of burying it • practical challenges like a 90-day fitness goal to study your growth framework Stop waiting for the quote unquote right time to get yourself in the DG Mindset Academy.

We share a raw story about wiring a large payment to a trusted mentor, getting met with silence, and realizing the real wound has nothing to do with money and everything to do with outsourced power. We walk through the grief of ending an identity, the empty space that follows, and the moment you finally plug back into yourself as the source. • wiring a significant amount of money then hearing nothing back for 14 days • watching the mind create worst-case stories in uncertainty • red flags after a friend gets blocked for asking questions • recognizing a mentor dynamic that mirrors a father wound • seeing how we outsource inner authority in self development • reframing a “ceremony” as a funeral for an old identity • noticing poverty consciousness and bargaining to avoid misalignment • letting grief move through and allowing the liminal space to stay open • remembering mentors and podcasts can supplement but never replace self-trust • gratitude for a partner who holds accountability and refuses old patterns So go ahead and get yourself signed up.

We call out the sneaky way we apologize for existing and show how shrinking becomes a survival habit that keeps us from our real life.

We break down why two people can live in the same world and still get wildly different results, and it comes back to the thermostat setting of the mind. We show how a growth mindset changes your relationship with failure, identity, and effort so you keep moving even when it gets uncomfortable. • defining mindset as your default mental thermostat • separating fixed mindset from growth mindset across different areas of life • spotting fixed mindset language like “I can’t” and “it’s hard” • reframing self-talk with “I haven’t yet” and “I’m still figuring it out” • using Carol S Dweck’s research to explain praise, risk, and learning • letting kids own the journey so we don’t build dependence • learning from Kobe’s misses and the decision to keep shooting • measuring effort and recovery instead of only measuring results • adopting a growth mindset by telling your nervous system you are safe • choosing challenge over comfort to expand what you can become The DG Mindset Academy is the place for growth.

A painful weekend turns into the most important conversation I’ve ever had with my parents, and it helps me understand why the “loss” was actually the point. I name the wounds, connect them to intergenerational trauma, and leave with a lighter nervous system and a clearer commitment to end the pattern with me. • reframing setbacks as ceremonies for growth and information • realizing the real purpose of the trip was family connection • talking through my brother’s struggle and what support was missing • answering my mom’s question about what hurt me growing up • linking spanking, silent treatment, and people pleasing patterns • explaining intergenerational trauma and how it shapes safety responses • choosing cycle-breaking parenting through awareness and patience • restoring the inner child and living from “I am enough” If you’re ready to stop consuming information and start creating real transformation, the DG Mindset Academy is where the work happens.

We walk through a real weekend at Peach Jam that turns into disappointment, then use it to expose how expectations quietly hijack our self-worth. We redefine winning and losing as identity-building moments and show how accountability turns setbacks into growth. • why disappointment spikes when we attach our worth to outcomes • the Peach Jam story and how expectations build a fantasy version of success • taking goals down off the pedestal to stop outsourcing self-love and validation • why it was never about the goal and always about who we become • how winning can hide problems that losing forces us to face • redefining losses as delayed wins that bring lessons • humility as staying grounded in who we are • accountability as the turning point that creates ownership and change • “life is always working for me” as a daily mindset practice • the identity upgrade analogy and falling in love with training and process Please know if you're not in the DG Mindset Academy, I will see you there soon.

We get real about the moment you stop needing to be seen and how that single shift gives you your power back. We trace the approval chase back to childhood needs, then build a practical path to self-approval, confidence, and peace that does not depend on results. • the difference between success and needing success to feel OK • how followers, money, and status can become a substitute for self-worth • why unmet childhood needs create survival patterns like performance and people pleasing • the hidden cost of achievement when the wound comes along for the ride • confidence as self-approval and the paradox of real visibility • simple ways to see yourself daily through presence, body respect, and expression • using discouragement and doubt as fuel to step into who you are Get yourself in the DG Mindset Academy.

We draw a hard line between healing as a tool and healing as an identity, because awareness is meant to return us to life, not replace it. We challenge the spiritual ego, the addiction to “becoming,” and the way self-help can turn into avoidance when the real goal is freedom, presence, and embodied living. • healing as a bridge rather than a destination • how making healing your identity keeps you stuck • the spiritual ego using meditation and modalities to avoid • being vs becoming and why appreciation matters • presence, embodiment, and “nowness” as the real practice • why healing just to manifest becomes another high • permission to love fully and risk heartbreak again • choosing love and humanity in conflict and daily life • a real story of responding to a car break-in with compassion "Then come on inside of the DG Mindset Academy where this is the energy that has been draped all within it...

We call out the moment self-development turns into a performance and why “doing the work” can keep you stuck. We push for embodiment, nervous system change, and real integrity so your growth shows up in how you live, not what you post. • performative healing and the trap of “doing the most” • why trying to measure healing creates more suffering • embodiment over information and the nervous system as the real driver • why confidence and peace must be lived before they “show up” • being it when nobody is watching and refusing social media optics • the in between identity phase and why feeling lost is normal • stopping the endless hunt to find yourself and letting identity be revealed • simplicity as the scaleable path and dropping the excuse of “I’m trying” This is an invitation to you to join the DG Mindset Academy because guess what?

We challenge the idea that you need to learn more to create a better life, and we argue that the real work is letting go of who you used to be. We share a clear framework for identity change, plus practical examples of how old roles like people-pleasing and survival mode quietly block growth. • why many people do not have a manifestation problem but a letting go problem • the “new chapter requires a funeral” idea and how to honor the old self without clinging to it • a truck purchase story that shows how pressure can force an identity upgrade • why manifestation and personal growth often work through subtraction, not addition • the “old car vs new car” metaphor for choosing your identity moment to moment • common identities to release, including people pleaser, rescuer, perfectionist, victim, overachiever, grinder • the four-stage framework: awareness, death, void, rebirth • why the void feels uncomfortable and why it is still part of alignment Get yourself signed up.

We break down why courage is the one energy you cannot skip if you want real expansion, and why comfort never earns the reward you are chasing. We share stories from family, sports, and our own growth to show how fear can become a doorway to confidence and change. • courage as the tuition for the next level • the first step as the most powerful step • fear as an invitation rather than a warning • trusting the route when life feels off-course • asking “Am I willing?” instead of stalling • redefining courage as emotional honesty and self-love • the nervous system reacting to uncertainty like danger • building courage through deliberate discomfort and discipline • the caterpillar lesson: growth is vulnerable and often solo • swapping “What if I fail?” for “What if this changes everything?” • using imagination to see possibilities before proof • recognizing when growth means leaving relationships behind I advise you to get into DG Mindset Academy.

We walk through why your results follow your feelings, not your wishes, and how the subconscious mind quietly runs most of your habits and behaviors. We connect manifestation, prayer, faith, and even scripture metaphors into one practical idea: feel the end result as real, then let life mirror it back. • feelings as the real driver behind what shows up physically • conscious desires vs subconscious programming and why “sub” means below awareness • posture and the nervous system as a mirror of inner state • the seed and soil metaphor for manifestation and why you get what you plant • prayer as embodiment and “feeling the wish fulfilled” before sleep • heaven within as a metaphor for the subconscious mind • faith as a feeling and why logic can cap your growth • law of reversibility and creating the emotion first Get yourself in DG Mindset Academy.

DG shares how a final public retreat in Tulum becomes a mirror for the deeper work of releasing fear, guilt, and the need to please. The story moves from ceremony to marriage to integration, landing on a simple truth: real expansion often comes from subtraction, not more effort. • why stepping away from public retreats protects alignment and energy • how two-day ceremonies create a different level of transformation • the people pleasing dilemma behind skipping the last dinner • a first-night purge that sets up the real work • “blockage” and how bodywork surfaces stored nervous system memories • an eight-year-old fear of punishment shaping adult self-expression • guilt around travel and success traced back to earlier life patterns • relationship repair after old Florida pain resurfaces for Carly • holding space instead of defending, fixing, or coaching your partner • fear and guilt as pathways into shame and feeling not good enough • “addition by subtraction” as a mindset for growth and leadership So get yourself in the DG Mindset Academy.

We break down why the next level of your life might demand more flexibility, not more force, and how real mastery means staying grounded while you stay fluid. We also look at how “strength” built from survival can harden your nervous system and block receiving, growth, and identity change. • using curiosity to release the need to control outcomes • balancing stability with mobility to avoid tension or risk • spotting rigidity disguised as discipline, toughness, or hyper-independence • learning to receive support without suspicion or defensiveness • treating adaptability as the real measure of strength • shedding old identities so new goals can fit • understanding “containers” changing as you evolve • placing attention on possibility instead of the lions in front of you • working with seasons of action, rest, structure, and surrender If you’re ready to stop consuming information and start creating real transformation, the DG Mindset Academy is where the work happens.

We step back and look at how life unfolds over a decade, then use that perspective to rebuild self-trust when doubt shows up. We challenge the idea that you are flawed and replace it with a definition of perfection that frees you from comparison and puts you back in your own lane. • reflecting on where you are now versus 10 years ago • trusting a “divine intelligence” through seasons of up and down • separating growth from self-rejection, change without shame • challenging the belief that a perfect creator makes imperfect creations • redefining perfection as the absence of comparison • using 117 billion people as proof of your one-of-one identity • noticing how we worship uniqueness, then ruin it with comparison • treating “name, image, and likeness” as a metaphor for divine identity • upgrading the nervous system so the truth becomes embodied • learning “golden tempo” from a comeback Kentucky Derby win • replacing expectations with intentions and moving with trust Do me a favor, I want you to get a with a dry erase marker.
