MEGAN HYATT MILLER: Embracing the Unconventional Path

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Megan Hyatt Miller delivers a powerful and heartfelt keynote about her journey as CEO of Full Focus. She candidly shares the lessons she’s learned through leadership challenges, personal growth, and the pursuit of sustainable success. Drawing on her experiences, Megan offers four unconventional keys for success as a leader. Whether you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking greater fulfillment, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you align your priorities and grow into the person you’re meant to be. Memorable Quotes 1--“Most worthwhile things are harder and take longer than we think they should… They’re really costly, and often painful, and always testing the limits of our patience.” 2--“These experiences of resistance strengthen the architecture of our character enough to hold the weight of success. Sustainable success demands maturity.” 3--“The hardest problems—the ones that make us want to throw in the towel—are often the exact reason we’re in the room.” 4--“If you could dare to believe it, problems aren’t a bug, they’re a feature—a feature that grows us up.” 5--“You can’t wait until you’ve arrived to start living fully. You have to build the life you want as you go.” 6--“The process of becoming is the best part of being human. That sense of reaching for more, of fulfilling our potential, of growing into the kinds of people our younger selves would admire—that’s the heart of a life well-lived.” Key Takeaways 1--Less is More. Growth requires focus and patience. Overextending leads to burnout, but prioritizing what truly matters ensures lasting impact. 2--Problems Aren’t Problems. They’re not signs of failure but invitations to grow stronger and wiser. Accept them as part of the process. 3--Keep On Going. Success takes time, persistence, and maturity. Stay committed to the journey, even when it’s hard. 4--Remember What Matters. True fulfillment comes from balancing professional achievements with a thriving personal life.

There’s a more valuable asset on the line and it’s time.” 3--“A weekly paycheck is the most addictive drug in the world.” 4--“It’s completely different to be a great business owner than to be a great financial advisor.” 5--“Your differences are your strengths.” 6--“People will not follow volatile leaders.” 7--“Every entrepreneur should be in therapy and that’s whether or not they think they need it.” 8--“The challenge is the reward for going to the next level.” 9--“The biggest thing is if you want to build a business bigger than you, you better focus a ton on vision, a ton on culture.” Key Takeaways 1--Culture Matters: Businesses often underinvest in culture and vision, which are essential for lasting growth. 2--Redefining Success: Brad shows how to ensure your business serves your life, not dominates it. 3--Integration Over Balance: Treat work and life as partners rather than competitors. 4--Lead by Growing: Personal growth, including therapy, is vital for effective leadership. 5--Relationships First: Strong connections drive fulfillment and business success.

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller sit down with Daniel Harkavy, CEO of Building Champions and author of The 7 Perspectives of Effective Leaders. Daniel shares practical strategies for thriving as a leader by first thriving as a person. From setting boundaries to crafting a life plan, his advice will help you create lasting success at work and at home. Memorable Quotes 1--“[Being well-balanced] elevates leadership efficacy because people are making conscious and subconscious decisions about who you are as a person by what they see, what they observe, how you speak, how you feel.” 2--“It’s very difficult to find a place of contentment if you’re playing the competition game.” 3--“I’m not being driven out of a place of scarcity. I’m being driven out of a place of opportunity and out of a burden to help and an opportunity to make a difference.” 4--“Self-leadership always precedes team effectiveness and team effectiveness always precedes organizational impact.” 5--“Management meetings are a lot of telling. Coaching sessions are a lot of asking.” 6--“I think that is what really needs to be at the heart of a coaching leader: It’s not that you are just comfortable with your people being better than you are. You actually desire it.” 7--“A leader’s effectiveness is determined by just two things: The decisions they make and the influence they have.” 8--“My morning routine is my vacation every day. I get a vacation first thing in the morning. I don’t have to wake up early. I get to.” Key Takeaways 1--Self-Leadership First: Your effectiveness as a leader begins with how well you lead yourself. This includes setting boundaries and prioritizing personal well-being. 2--Boundaries Enable Freedom: Setting clear boundaries helps leaders avoid burnout and stay fully present in their personal and professional lives. 3--The Power of a Life Plan: Taking time to define what matters most reduces regret and ensures intentional investment in all areas of life. 4--Coaching Leadership: Great leaders empower their teams by asking questions, fostering growth, and prioritizing curiosity over control. 5--Contentment vs. Complacency: Strive for excellence from a place of abundance, not scarcity, by cultivating gratitude and staying grounded in what matters.

JON GORDON: The Real-World Power of Positive Leadership

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller talk with Jon Gordon, bestselling author of The Energy Bus and The Power of Positive Leadership. Jon shares his journey from negativity to a thriving, positive life and the principles he’s developed to help teams and individuals succeed. From practical strategies for fueling positive energy to addressing the root causes of negativity, Jon’s wisdom is a must-hear for leaders striving to win at work and succeed at home. Memorable Quotes 1--“Every one of us is going to have to overcome negativity, adversity, and challenges to ultimately define ourselves and our team's success. And the main message is: You have to overcome negativity with positivity.” 2--“You’re the driver. You decide the kind of ride it’s going to be… It’s all about ownership.” 3--“You write down your success of the day and every night you go to bed a success. Every morning you wake up a success. You’re now creating more and more success because what you focus on starts to show up more in your life.” 4--“The root for the Greek word ‘anxious’ means to separate and divide. And so someone who’s anxious, they feel separate and divided. What does fear do? Divides.” 5--“The change happened when I started to take walks of gratitude every day because I read you can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time.” 6--“You’re not the thoughts you think—you’re the thoughts you believe. Negative thoughts are going to come in all the time. What thoughts are you believing and what stories are you choosing to believe about yourself?” 7--“There’s a feeling that you’re winning [at work and at home] and yet at the same time, you’re probably always going to feel like. ‘What can I do better? And how can I do this more in both places?’ I call it positive discontent.” Key Takeaways 1--You’re the Driver: Own your energy and your impact. Leaders set the tone for their teams and must model positivity. 2--Fuel Your Energy Daily: Practices like gratitude walks, journaling, and prayer can help leaders stay energized and engaged. 3--Address Negativity Head-On: Successful leaders confront issues directly, fostering accountability and growth without demeaning their teams. 4--Build Positive Team Cultures: Principles like “No Complaining Without a Solution” and “Love + Accountability” transform how teams function.

CAREY NIEUWHOF: The Essential Art of Self-Leadership

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller sit down with leadership expert Carey Nieuwhof to explore the hidden traps of burnout, cynicism, and the tolls of unexamined motivations. Carey dives into his journey from lawyer to pastor to leadership coach, sharing how he’s learned to manage energy and avoid burnout while building an impactful career. Carey’s insights touch on the importance of self-leadership, the dangers of “mid-grade burnout,” and strategies for setting lasting boundaries. The conversation is rich with practical advice for leaders in any field who want to achieve the Double Win—winning at work and succeeding at life. Memorable Quotes 1--“I think unexamined motivations drive you until they destroy you.” 2--“Self-leadership is the ability to heal ourselves, to stay engaged, to stay healthy—everything from avoiding burnout and not becoming the person everyone resents to staying engaged at a meaningful level and avoiding cynicism and pride.” 3--“Just look at the internal battle of a leader, how lonely it is, how you often feel you don’t have anyone to turn to about the personal demons you’re fighting.” 4--“I worked with a lot of lawyers who were really at the top of their game. It was sort of the Wall Street of Canada, right? I realized very early on: Oh, it’s empty up here.” 5--“I think you’ve got to make a decision: I’m going to trust again. I’m going to hope again. I’m going to believe again.” 6--“Cynical people are never curious and curious people are never cynical. They seem to be mutually exclusive.” 7--“That position of feeling numb most days is a big warning sign.” 8--“We’re inundated with too many relationships and we’re overwhelmed, overworked, overcommitted.” 9--“If you’re winning at work and losing at home, you’re losing.” Key Takeaways 1--Self-Leadership Matters: Carey explains that leading yourself well is the foundation of effective leadership. 2--The Dangers of Mid-Grade Burnout: While many recognize full-blown burnout, Carey highlights the subtler, persistent signs that show up as disengagement or apathy. 3--Prioritize Close Relationships: Carey describes the power of “3–5 deep friendships” that keep us grounded and resilient. 4--The Antidote to Cynicism: When cynicism creeps in, choosing curiosity can help leaders reconnect and stay energized. 5--Boundaries with Purpose: Categorical decisions (like “no breakfast meetings”) can help protect your peak hours and ensure work doesn’t consume your personal life.

Grant's stories and insights make this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking to blend ambition with a meaningful, balanced life.

I’ve got one shot at this thing. And so I want to make sure that a lived it well and I was satisfied with what I did.” 6--“If we are great entrepreneurs, if we’re great speakers, if we’re great authors, if we’re heart fill-in-the-blank, but we drop the ball as husbands, wives, moms, dads—if we’re a shell of a human being, we’re doing it wrong.” Key Takeaways 1--Intentional Life Design: Your life doesn’t have to follow a set path—design it to fit your values and goals.

MASTIN KIPP: Living Less Stressed

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael and Megan Hyatt Miller sit down with bestselling author and trauma-informed coach, Mastin Kipp, to discuss the profound impact of understanding and regulating the nervous system. Mastin shares insights from his new book, Reclaim Your Nervous System, and explains how unresolved trauma and dysregulation can hinder personal and professional growth. The conversation explores the practical applications of polyvagal theory, co-regulation, and how leaders can foster psychological safety by mastering their own nervous systems. Mastin covers everything from the body's hierarchy of responses to stress (green, yellow, and red states), to the effects of trauma on leadership, parenting, and personal well-being. By learning how to identify and manage these states, listeners can unlock a new level of performance and healing. Memorable Quotes 1--“We have this idea that ‘If I can change my thoughts, I can change my life,’ which is accurate, but there’s a lot going on below the brain that we also want to understand.” 2--“The issue is when we have a neuroceptive mismatch, where I’m in the presence of something dangerous, but I’m not being activated to move. Or I’m not in the presence of danger, but my neuroception is telling me that I am.” 3--“I think of re-regulation as like the bicep curl or the squat. You’re going to get dysregulated automatically. So let’s re-regulate—the re-regulation is the rep.” 4--“If the leader, or CEO, or C-Suite isn’t creating that culture [of safety], then it will fall apart when there are challenges. Just like we need to have a flexible nervous system, we need to have a flexible cultural nervous system to be able to manage the flexible challenges of business also.” 5--“Trauma is any experience of threat, disconnection, isolation, or immobilization that results in the long-term or chronic dysregulation of either your endocrine system, your immune system, your emotional body, your brain, your body, your spirit—your health on any level, basically.” 6--“The problem with successful people and ambitious people is every time we level up, we increase complexity and stress, and those pathways get activated again.” 7--“Stoicism is great for growth. It’s just not great for healing.” Key Takeaways 1--Understanding the Nervous System: The nervous system governs how we experience life. Recognizing when we are in a "fight or flight" state (yellow) or a "shut down" state (red) allows us to make conscious decisions to move back into a "ventral vagal" state (green), where we're most productive and connected. 2--The Power of Co-Regulation: Leaders, parents, and partners all play a role in co-regulating others. Learning how to stay calm and collected can positively influence those around you, fostering a more supportive and effective environment. 3--Trauma’s Role in Leadership: Unresolved trauma can cause leaders to react disproportionately, affecting their teams and overall performance. Recognizing and healing these trauma responses is essential for effective leadership. 4--Reframing Anxiety and Stress: Instead of seeing anxiety as an isolated mental challenge, Mastin explains how it's deeply tied to our physical nervous system and can be addressed by body-based approaches like somatic experiencing. 5--Neuroception and Safety: Our bodies are constantly scanning for safety or danger. Learning to re-regulate when our neuroception is triggered can help us stay present and avoid unnecessary reactions to perceived threats. 6--Reclaim Your Life: Trauma doesn't need to define your future. By understanding your nervous system, you can reclaim your happiness and make progress in all areas of life, from work to personal relationships.

JORDAN HARPER: Making Time for What Matters

In this episode, Michael and Megan Hyatt Miller are joined by Jordan Harper, founder and CEO of Barefaced, to discuss how she turned her expertise as a nurse practitioner into a successful skincare brand. With a philosophy of "less but better," Jordan shares how she simplifies not just her skincare routine but her life as a busy entrepreneur and mother of four young children. She dives deep into her approach to time management, delegating tasks, and the importance of systems—both at work and at home. Jordan also talks about how using the Full Focus Planner has helped her stay organized and balanced, revealing the key productivity strategies that allow her to thrive in business while maintaining her personal life. Memorable Quotes 1--“It’s the little things you’re doing every single day that are yielding these big results over time. They’re underestimated because they do take consistency to see results.” 2--“Especially as women, we can have this martyr mindset where everyone’s first. That might work for a week, a season, but you will get so depleted. And then what do you have?” 3--“As I’m blocking out my schedule, I’m curating the life I actually want.” 4--“There’s so much I say no to, and I love it.” 5--“You have to truly build systems for your life. I think we focus so much on systems from a business perspective, but I mean for your personal life.” 6--“One of my goals for 2024 was to stop saying, ‘I don’t have time.’ I say, ‘I don’t make time for that’ because I really believe we have time to do the things that we want to do. We can’t do everything, but that’s why you need to know what you want to do.” Key Takeaways 1--Less But Better Philosophy: Jordan’s approach to skincare and life is rooted in minimalism—prioritizing quality over quantity in everything she does. 2--Serving the Need: How did Bareface scale to 250,000 customers in a crowded market? By centering helping over selling. 3--Importance of Time Blocking: Using the Full Focus Planner and time blocking helps her manage her business, family, and personal life effectively. 4--Outsourcing and Systems: Delegating tasks at work and home, including hiring help for household management, enables her to focus on what matters most. 5--Family and Work Balance: With four kids under five, Jordan stresses the importance of systems, outsourcing, and creating margin in her life to be present with her family.

GREG MCKEOWN: Making the Essential More Effortless

What if the key to a more fulfilling life was focusing on less, not more? Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism and Effortless, joins Michael and Megan on The Double Win Show to discuss the power of prioritizing what truly matters amidst life's chaos. Greg shares insights on navigating today’s world of constant distraction, exploring the importance of taking control over small parts of your day, learning to say "no" to non-essential commitments, and making the essential things feel easier. This conversation will inspire you to stop defaulting to the noise and instead design a life where you focus on what truly moves the needle—both personally and professionally. Memorable Quotes 1--“If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will.” 2--“The antidote [to a chaotic world] is the disciplined pursuit of less.” 3--“You can say: ‘Is this the most important contribution I can make?’ If it’s not a clear yes, it becomes a clear no.” 4--“Maybe you can't control everything, but if you could take control of half an hour and use that to design what you want to do, instead of operating by default, it improves the quality of life for the rest of the 23 and a half hours.” 5--“You want everything essential to be as effortless as possible. So that single question is: How can I make this effortless?” Key Takeaways 1--The Power Half-Hour: Take control of 30 minutes of your day to focus on what matters, whether it’s in the morning or the evening, and see the ripple effect on the rest of your time. 2--Essentialism vs. Minimalism: While minimalism is about reducing physical clutter, essentialism is about reducing mental clutter—focusing only on what is truly necessary. 3--Saying No: The ability to say “no” is crucial to staying aligned with your priorities, whether that means saying no to others or even to your own distractions. 4--Effortless Execution: Reframe essential tasks to be more enjoyable and less daunting, making it easier to achieve your most important goals. 5--Radical Gratitude: Practice gratitude not just for the good things, but for all experiences, as a way to shift your mindset and discover hidden opportunities for growth.

HAL ELROD: The Miracle of Resilience

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller welcome Hal Elrod, author of the bestselling book The Miracle Morning. Hal shares his remarkable journey of overcoming a near-fatal car accident, a battle with cancer, and multiple life setbacks—all while maintaining unwavering faith and resilience. He details how these hardships shaped his path and inspired his global movement to help millions create life-changing morning routines. Hal also introduces his powerful “5-Minute Rule” for moving through adversity and offers practical insights for building habits that will transform your life. Memorable Quotes 1--“I can’t change what happened, but I can choose to be at peace with what I can’t change, grateful for what I have, and focus on the things that are in my control.” 2--“The more you resist reality and wish it were different, the more pain we create for ourselves. Freedom is in acceptance. Freedom is in being at peace with what you can’t change.” 3--“Most people who experience failure probably didn’t stay with it for long enough. They didn’t have the frustration tolerance. So they just gave up and said, ‘This isn’t working.’ And it takes a while to break through.” 4--“I love that you’re starting your day with silence—peaceful, purposeful silence to get centered, to gain clarity, to calm your nervous system.” 5--“I was prioritizing the impact I could make in the world over the impact I could make in my family. It was quantity over quality. When I had cancer, it was the epiphany that the impact I could make on their three lives far superseded the impact I could make on the world.” 6--“The Miracle Morning allows me to focus on the two things I can control: Who I become every day and how I show up. It is ensuring I am fully aware of what’s going on inside me and thoughtful and intentional about showing up as my best for those I love and lead. Key Takeaways 1--The 5-Minute Rule: Allow yourself five minutes to process difficult emotions, then let go by saying, "I can’t change it," and move forward. 2--The Power of Ritual: Implementing the Miracle Morning routine (silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and journaling) can shift your mindset and set you up for success, no matter how busy or unpredictable life gets. 3--Writing Affirmations that Work: Passive affirmations take you nowhere, but written commitments that connect the future you want to the actions you’ll take drive transformation. 4--What Matters Most: It took a cancer scare for Hal to realize that changing the lives of his family “far superseded” changing the world. 5--Resilience Through Faith: Hal’s unshakeable belief in himself and his faith helped him defy the odds and recover from life-threatening challenges.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve missed your moment, this conversation with writer and journalist Henry Oliver is a must-listen. Known for his cultural analysis and thoughtful perspectives, Oliver dives deep into the idea that success and growth aren’t reserved solely for the young.

From redefining what success looks like to taking small yet powerful steps toward new goals, his insights serve as a beacon of hope for anyone feeling overwhelmed by societal pressures or personal setbacks. Oliver’s wisdom is a refreshing reminder that life is a marathon, not a sprint. Whether you’re navigating a career shift, exploring new passions, or simply seeking a fresh perspective on aging, this episode offers both a reality check and a source of encouragement.

ARTHUR BROOKS: The Science of Real Happiness

What if your pursuit of happiness won’t lead you where you want to go? Arthur Brooks, Harvard professor and bestselling author, transitioned from his early career as a classical musician to become a renowned behavioral scientist following a personal health crisis. He explores why many people, especially high achievers, often chase the wrong goals—like money, power, and fame—and how these pursuits can lead to emptiness rather than joy. Instead, Arthur presents the "big four" pillars of a truly fulfilling life: faith, family, friendships, and meaningful work. He reveals how our understanding of happiness has evolved over time, why modern society often gets it wrong, and what practical steps we can take to cultivate lasting joy. Arthur also sheds light on the neuroscience of happiness, revealing how certain brain regions are activated through experiences of faith and connection, and why managing our emotions—not eradicating them—is key to a balanced life. This episode is a scientific and personal guide to building happiness, grounded in practical tools and strategies that anyone can implement.
