Chasing Excellence

As we close out 2025, here's the question that matters most: do you have both the map and the crew for the year ahead? In this benchmark episode, we revisit two of our most foundational conversations from early 2025—the complete framework from daily habits to peace of mind, and why the people around you determine 95% of your success or failure. You'll learn how health gives you freedom, why context-independent peace of mind is the only destination worth chasing, and why surrounding yourself with the right people isn't optional — it's the difference between theory and transformation. This is both the map and the crew you need for a great 2026.👉🏼 Get the full Listener's Guide here❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club👋 New to Chasing Excellence?

If you've ever felt like raising kids and staying healthy are competing priorities, this episode will change how you think about both. We're bringing together six of our most powerful conversations on parenting — from applying the Five Factors to family life, to helping kids navigate adversity, to designing environments where healthy choices happen naturally. Last week, we published an essay called Your Ceiling Becomes Their Starting Point **— a complete guide to building healthy family habits. This compilation episode is the raw material behind that essay: years of conversations about how to raise resilient kids while maintaining your own health. We explore the frameworks, tactics, and daily practices that transform abstract principles into real family culture. 👉🏼 Get the full Listener's Guide here ❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club 👋 New to Chasing Excellence?

What if every triumph and disaster you face is just a temporary imposter - neither defining you nor derailing you? In this episode, we explore Rudyard Kipling's timeless poem "If" and uncover how emotional intelligence, resilience, and warrior-like composure can help you navigate life's highest highs and lowest lows with grace. We dive into the mindset that lets you stay centered when others panic, rebuild humbly when things crumble, and risk freely without being attached to outcomes - so you can live with intentionality and purpose no matter what comes your way. 👉🏼 Get the full Listener's Guide here ❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club 👋 New to Chasing Excellence?

Jamison Price returns to discuss his new guide on self-mastery, "On Dragons, Lions, & Wolves." He shares three metaphors that define the path from inner transformation to outer impact: facing your dragons (the shame, addiction, and fear within), chasing your lions (the external threats that demand courage), and taming your wolves (integrating strength and wisdom to belong). This conversation explores why self-actualization isn't the end goal—it's shared-actualization, becoming someone dangerous to darkness and dependable in the light. 👉🏼 Get the full Listener's Guide here ❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club 👋 New to Chasing Excellence?
