I've always been into biohacking, dating back to my NFL career when I tried supplements, spent time in a hyperbaric chamber, and did all sorts of blood tests to improve my physicality and performance. At around that time I came across Dr. Amen who'd just launched Brain MD I'd tried adderall which made my moods erratic, and so I went to see Dr. Amen at his clinic with my son. We spent money on brain scans to better understand how my brain had been negatively impacted by physical trauma, and how my son's brain was still developing. I learned so much about my brain and the divine uniqueness with which God created me. It allowed me to shed the shame of the label 'ADHD' as I learned how my brain is supposed to work. Instead of choosing chemicals with harsh side-effects that were retarding me, Dr. Amen led me to an all-natural solution. I've been taking BrainMD for over ten years now and I haven't looked back. Dr. Amen has indirectly given me Grace in so many areas of my life — and I thank him for that. I couldn't be more grateful to be in conversation with him today as he shares his wisdom ahead of the launch of his new book, Change Your Brain Every Day. Please join us.

Until age 35, my identity was connected to my achievements and worldly success. In reality, I hadn't created my identity. As a matter of fact, I have left the world to decide for me. But then I realized that there were three traits that I really wanted to embody. So right now, I don't introduce myself as a former NFL player or entrepreneur. Now that I know who I am, I introduce myself as a man of honor, integrity, and accountability. If you don't create your identity, the world will create it for you. For this reason, you have to analyze your identity. Firstly, you must explore your identity, who you belong to, and what matters most to you. Then, you must choose the three character traits that will unlock you. These traits will also open your potential to be the best version of yourself that God has created you to be. Today's episode is a sneak peek into a series of videos I created. The course is called The Twelve Disciplines of A Pro. In truth, you are a rocket ship. You have a clear destination that you need to land on. But before you can launch off, you must have a strong foundation. So grab a piece of paper and a pen because there are some things you'll need to write down. Then, spend some quiet time thinking. This is a deep dive into building your launching path. Transform your mind. And God bless you. "What if life wasn't about a to-do list? What if life was about a to-be list?" – Steve Weatherford In this Episode: - How to create a strong foundation - Start analyzing your identity - Impostor syndrome and its connection with identity - Difference between relation and relationship - Choose the to-be list rather than the to-do list - My current identity and how I create it - Who do you belong to?

God has a plan for your life. You don't exist for no reason. There is a purpose for you, chosen before you are even born. You may not understand this when you are a kid, but it's essential to listen to it from your father or your pastor. Even though you may not understand it when you are a child, the seed will grow inside you as an adult. And when you know this, you will be unstoppable. Garrett Unclebach shared these powerful thoughts in our conversation. Garrett is a real friend of mine. He is the most focused, disciplined, and devoted man I know. A former Navy SEAL, he is now a member in a leadership position at the Elevate Life Church in Frisco, Texas. Our meetings are an incubator for greatness and helping men who feel broken and lost. In this episode, you will see that Garrett is different from most people. But God has put the right people in the right place to direct his nature into tasks where he would thrive. His spirit and his mind have allowed him to go through extreme situations. This episode will help you get there too. If you need extra help, text me the word SAVED at 949 763 5934. And I will connect you with the resources you need to find God's plan. "You have a great destiny in your life. God wants to do something with you.

I didn't become a World Champion on my own. I was one of 53 guys on the New York Giants football team in 2012 when we defeated Tom Brady. You, too, will make the most significant impact in your life with what God has given you through cultivating relationships. There are many different types of relationships. Aside from my relationship with God and my relationship with my wife, my connections, in general, are the most valuable part of my life. Before starting a relationship with Jesus, I was very transactional in my relationships with other people. I was doing something for them to receive something in return. But now, I'm not seeking to compete with others. Instead, I'm looking to complete them. This episode is about relationships and how to be the best at them. A solid philosophy, boundaries, standards, and rules are necessary for every relationship, not for protection but for growth. Pursue people that value what you value, and you will understand that your alignments determine your assignments. I hope you find this information helpful. God bless you. "You might have a great gift that will take you out of your circumstances, but if you choose to allow that gift to be around low-level people that are not living life in order, you'll ultimately gonna take that gift and use it doing the wrong things." – Steve Weatherford In this Episode: - Four things that all relationships need in order to grow - Standards, boundaries and rules in relationships - What made me become intentional about my relationships - The what, the how, the when and the why of relationships - My family's values in relationships - Filters to put in place when meeting someone - Learning how to let a friend go And more… Resources Mentioned: - Elevate Life Church - https://elevatelife.com/ Connect with Steve: - Twitter - https://twitter.com/weatherford5 - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-weatherford-75625253/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Official.Steve.Weatherford/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/weatherford5/?hl=en - Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Dms2vyzJwiN4UltE2_N7g Connect with Pierce: - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pierceshowe/ - Link Tree - https://linktr.ee/pierceshowe

Every man is designed by God to operate with four crowns - a prophet, a priest, a king, and a warrior. I acted as a king and a warrior in the past. However, I scored no points as a prophet or a priest. I was helping no one, not even myself. And even though I was highly successful, I won a Super Bowl and had money and influence, I felt empty. When we look at becoming spiritual leaders, we must become prophets and priests. Prophets and priests receive information from God and must declare that out. They are supposed to give vision where there is no vision and be disciples of the Word. Thank God you are not alone in doing it. In this episode, I share my testimony, how I rekindle my relationship with God as an adult, and how you can do the same. I offer you a step-by-step guide on how to become a spiritual leader not only for your family but also for yourself. Thank you for listening, and God bless you. "If you wanna grow as a spiritual leader to yourself so you can grow as a spiritual leader to other people, you have to take authority." – Steve Weatherford In this Episode: - Why life is like a decathlon - Every man is designed by God to operate with four crowns - The moment I went from a ronin to a disciple of Jesus Christ - Steps for becoming a spiritual leader - Importance of reading psalms and proverbs And more… Resources Mentioned: - Emerge Men's Conference - Choose Your Hard Poem - Freedom Council Connect with Steve: - Twitter - LinkedIn - Facebook - Instagram - Youtube Connect with Pierce: - Instagram - Link Tree

Athletes are committed and obsessed with mastering the 168 hours available per week. And I treat the men that I coach like they are athletes. Not only do I give them accountability, but I also stretch their vision to go beyond what they consider to be possible. Every year I choose twelve men to work with weekly at an executive level. So every seven days, I come back together with each of them and coach them in the way I was coached when I played in the NFL. How do these sessions work? We would look at the actions they took the week before. We look at the things they did well and the things they didn't do well. We make adjustments and scout the opponent for next week. We are really only looking a week ahead at a time. But the coach has the ultimate vision for the season, the playoffs season, and, eventually, the Super Bowl. Besides work, I held similar sessions with my family. In this short, practical, and tactical episode, I talk to you about the most vital hour of my week. But, more importantly, I teach you how to choose one hour of the 168 hours you have every week and how to maximize it. "I'm coaching my children the same way that I'm leveling up really high-level men. And, really, it's just seven days at a time." – Steve Weatherford In this Episode: - Why I treat my coaching clients like they were elite athletes - Characteristics of my most important hour of the week - Time of the most important hour of the week - Analyzing core values - Creating a vision - Checking vitals - Meaning of the General's Tent And more… Resources Mentioned: - Freedom Council - Get 15% off Brain MD supplements using code "WEATHERFORD15" at checkout Connect with Steve: - Twitter - LinkedIn - Facebook - Instagram - Youtube

When I got outside of my comfort zone and did something I had never done in a place I had been before, I met Chris Peterson. This happened in a retreat I organized. It was the opportunity for him to come to Christ. He didn't know why he went to the event. But when he was there, he discovered that the purpose was to start having a relationship with God. Chris Peterson is my special friend. I don't say this lightly. I have many friends, and I don't call any other friends like this. The reason is that Chris is the first person I led to Jesus when I decided to pursue God and ministry. And I believe that guiding people to Jesus is one of the first things Jesus calls us to do. It's a way of worship. This episode will challenge you, serve you and entertain you. The investment of time, talent, and energy we put into it will really shift how you think and, therefore, everything in your life. Allow it to happen, and you will be a completely different person in three months.

It's an honor to have my pastor, mentor, and spiritual father on the show for the third time. One thing that is different about this one is we actually had his son, Josh Craft, on as well. Josh and I have gotten really close over the last year. We talk all about having a spiritual father voice in your life and the supernatural acceleration that can happen because of it. We talk about how the most noble thing isn't always to blaze your own trail, and Josh shares how and why he has decided to make a highway out of the trail his dad has blazed.In this Episode: The story of Otto Mears and the Million Dollar Highway The greatest test you can pass is the test of submission If you are too big to follow you're too small to lead What to do if you don't have a dad like Keith Craft How to get GODfidence And more… Resources Mentioned: The story of the Million Dollar Highway Pastor Keith's Your Divine Fingerprint Josh Craft's substack Get involved in Pastor Keith's online mastermind Connect with Steve: Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Youtube

What does it take to go from being on the couch to running a 5 hour marathon? And what does it mean to grow in your spiritual authority as a man, as a husband, and as a father? It is my great pleasure to be chatting to Brian McKittrick as we unpack the answers to these important questions. Brian is a personal friend who came into my life about a year ago. He is an insurance and finance specialist, and is also the international bestselling author of "It Ain't Rocket Surgery - 21 Simple Tips that will Take Your Sales to the Moon!" He's an inspiration for many reasons, one of which is his ability to set his mind to something – and then do it. Together with Pierce 'The Big Showe' we're talking about Zone 2 running and what it takes to become a marathon man. There's even a challenge for you to become a marathon man, and have Pierce as your personal trainer. Bring your eyes to see and your ears to hear God's word. This is a good one! "When God designed us, he didn't design us to be sitting behind a computer. He created us to go climb over a 9 mile mountain and kill a lion or a gazelle, and throw that 150 pounds of meat over our backs, climb 9 miles back over that mountain, and feed our kids." – Steve Weatherford In this Episode: - Running a sub 5 hour marathon from not running at all - Training revelations - Knowing what you want and being able to pay your price to get it - Giving up your life for Jesus at a secular event - What is heart rate training? - Running Five Peaks - Inspiring others to realize their full potential - Why enhanced physical fitness is good for your business - What is your 'misogi'(annual challenge)? - How to become a marathon man And more… Resources Mentioned: - Pierce's email if you want to be one of 10 Marathon Man trial subjects - pierce@weatherfordfive.com Connect with Brian: - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-mckittrick-3b4233113 - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mckittrick_brian/?hl=en - Brian's book - https://itaintrocketsurgeryliveeventbookextras.phonesites.com/contentlinks Connect with Steve: - Twitter - LinkedIn - Facebook - Instagram - Youtube Connect with Pierce: - Instagram - Link Tree
