Most people don’t fail because they lack talent—
they fail because their ego keeps putting them in positions they’re not built for.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who keeps blowing opportunities, breaking alliances, sabotaging good teams, or confusing “control” with “calling.” We’re talking identity, roles, loyalty, humility, and the dangerous trend of chasing titles instead of mastering your assignment.

If you’ve ever walked away from the people who built you…
If you keep trying to lead when you’re meant to support…
If you think you want the spotlight but can’t handle the responsibility…
If you’re losing while insisting on being in charge…

…this conversation is going to sting, but it will straighten out your whole approach to success.

It’s time to tell the truth:
You can’t win the game when your ego won’t let you play your position.

And for the first time ever, we’re introducing two new segments designed to shift your mindset daily:
🔥 Kalm Down with Karl
🔥 Mal’s Millionaire Moment

Powerful clarity. Tactical mindset shifts. Zero excuses.

🚨 FREE 8-DAY ENCORE WITH ET — STARTS DECEMBER 8TH

Daily sessions. Real accountability. Serious breakthroughs.
If you’re stuck, drifting, or overwhelmed, don’t miss this.

Life keeps bullying you because you keep handing over the power. Your habits, your phone, your job, your fears, your past — all of it is pushing you around while you stand there acting like you don’t have a choice.

This episode breaks that cycle wide open.

ET, CJ, Karl, and Jemal dive into the truth nobody wants to admit:
you’re either the bully… or you’re getting bullied.
By your circumstances.
By your imagination (or lack of it).
By the systems built to turn you into a full-time consumer.

Inside the episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the picture in your head is more important than the reality in front of you
• How to stop giving your power away to fear, bills, people, and your own patterns
• Why consumers get exploited, and why producers win every single time
• How social media turns you into a victim without you noticing
• How intentionality separates the bullied from the unstoppable
• Why your gift — not your job — is the real source of your freedom
• How to bully the bully in your finances, marriage, career, and internal dialogue
• Why one property, one skill, or one shift can flip your entire life trajectory

You’re letting people with zero track record tell you how to run your life. And the wild part? Half of them couldn’t survive doing what YOU do for 24 hours.

In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, the guys break down the “Bully the Bully” mindset—why the world pushes you around if you don’t push back, why people in survival mode try to hijack what you’ve built, and why letting the wrong voices guide you is the fastest way back to the bottom.

ET, CJ, Karl, and Jemal unpack:

• Why unqualified opinions keep you broke and stuck

• The mentality difference between survivors and winners

• Why you MUST protect what you’ve built

• How the world “bullies” you financially if you’re not intentional

• The exact mindset shift needed to take control of your life

This one is raw, hilarious, and heavy with truth—perfect for anyone tired of being pushed around by people who haven’t done the work.
