You’ve got big dreams. You’ve got ambition. So why does your life still feel off? In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, ET, CJ, Jemal, and Karl break down a truth most people avoid: you’re not certified for the life you keep asking for. We don’t mean a degree or a license — we’re talking about the inner work, the healing, the consistency, and the mastery that separates dreamers from doers. If your life feels unstable, your vision unclear, or your progress slow… this episode will show you why — and what to do next. Because the dream ain’t enough. 🔗 Follow & Support the S2S Podcast: 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @s2spodcast 📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube: Subscribe here 💬 Join our Patreon community: patreon.com/S2SPodcast120 — get access to bonus content, behind the scenes, and live Q&As! 🎧 New episodes every week.

Most people don’t realize their real stress isn’t the layoff, the diagnosis, or the bad news — it’s the fact that everything in their life is depending on one source. One income. One plan. One backup. And when that one thing fails? Everything starts crashing. In this episode, the guys break down why relying on one stream of income is the fastest route to burnout — and what it looks like to actually prepare for a storm before it comes. If you’ve ever felt like your world was one unexpected bill away from collapse… this one’s for you. You don’t have to live in fear. But you do have to prepare. 👕 List to the full episode and then share it with someone who needs to get their financial foundation in order.

CJ shares the hilarious and inspiring moment Eric Thomas made him “President” of a company that didn’t even exist yet — with nothing but a vintage t-shirt and a vision. From that Embassy Suites meeting to global impact, the guys break down what it means to believe before you see results. Plus: Maul’s indoor pool story, food temperature debates, retro checks, and why controlling your environment is key to success. This one’s equal parts laughter, legacy, and life lessons. 💡 Featuring powerful moments on vision, assertiveness, mindset, and the journey from humble beginnings to global influence.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, angry, or held back by your past, this is the episode that will force you to take a hard look in the mirror and make a choice: keep making excuses or use your pain as fuel. ET shares powerful, real-life stories—including how he forgave his father, how love is the ultimate weapon, and why true strength isn’t about never struggling but about rising up when life knocks you down.
