How Your Ego Is Killing Your Success | S2S 518

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.

Exploited: The Real Price of Staying a Consumer

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 This is one of those episodes you replay when you feel stuck. It’s raw. It’s practical. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s exactly what you need. CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Show Intro 01:25 - ET on Bullying Awareness 05:09 - Bully the Bully Strategy 07:32 - Discovering Your Gifts 11:55 - Overcoming Inner Criticism 17:19 - The Reality of Fear 19:14 - Understanding Menopause 22:15 - The Nature of Bullying 25:29 - Utilizing Your Gifts 27:18 - Embrace Assertiveness 30:25 - Valuing Your Worth 33:25 - Work for Your Demands 35:55 - Embracing Change 38:30 - Be the Solution 44:10 - Next Level Conference Overview 46:16 - Future of EYL University 47:40 - Inside The Lab 49:45 - Join the BU Community 50:01 - Support This Podcast 👇 JOIN THE S2S PATREON (Exclusive content + BTS + Early access) https://www.patreon.com/S2SPodcast120 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL Weekly episodes, clips, and access to the entire S2S ecosystem: https://www.youtube.com/@S2SPodcastChannel?sub_confirmation=1 👇 FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @s2spodcast If this hit you, share it with someone still letting life push them around.

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.

Whether your team is 1–5 or your home feels out of rhythm, this episode gives you the playbook: peace over moods, standards over scoreboard, purpose over procrastination.

What ET Told the Baltimore Ravens that Could Change Your Life | S2S 513

The week the Ravens were 1–5 and about to face Chicago, ET walked into Baltimore’s locker room with a message—not hype, a standard. Jemal, a lifelong Bears fan, wants to know why ET had to deliver that talk right before they played his team. That friendly smoke sets the tone as we unpack the exact principles ET shared: why contracts beat feelings, how identity sets standards, standards drive behavior, and behavior produces results—on the field and in your life. We trace the arc from a losing record to a winning mindset, then translate it into practical moves you can use this week: building simple systems that work when your mood doesn’t, protecting momentum, and committing to one non-negotiable that changes the scoreboard at work and at home. By the end, Jemal makes his Bears case, ET makes the case for standards over vibes, and you’ll leave with a clear “12–5” plan—one covenant, seven days, real traction. If this hits, subscribe and share it with someone who needs a standard, not a speech. Drop “12–5” in the comments with the one rule you’re locking in this week, and we’ll read a few on the next episode.

From Supporter to Slayer—Become the One Who Hunts

Stop helping. Own the kill. For years, helping felt noble—but that was Level 1. In this episode, Karl opens up about his shift from approval-seeking supporter to hunter: taking ownership, moving first, and letting execution—not permission—set the pace. We break down how that mindset change is transforming his leadership, family life, business, and even real estate strategy. What you’ll get Karl’s real transition: supporter → slayer (ownership over approval) “Move first, figure it out later” — how hunters build momentum Family & legacy: why your people need you leading from the front Real estate lessons (1031s, opportunity zones, scale thinking) you can model Simple systems to keep hunting when motivation dips 🔥 Viewer Challenge (comment to commit) Drop “I’m hunting” + the ONE action you’ll take in the next 24 hours.

Drop your North Star in one sentence below. If you can’t say it in a line, you can’t live it in a year! Are you doing everything and going nowhere? This episode is your wake-up call. We break down why scattered hustle kills credibility, how a single North Star changed our entire operation, and the exact mindset shift to align actions with the goals you keep talking about.

If you want receipts, we’ve got them—KPIs, standards, and the uncomfortable conversations required to level up.

508 - The #1 Thing Your Kids Need More Than Money

Parents think the best gift they can give their kids is money. But the truth? Money alone isn’t enough. In this powerful episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, ET, CJ, Karl & TJ unpack the story of Vontrell — a star athlete whose NFL dream collapsed after repeated injuries. Lost and struggling, he fell into security jobs and uncertainty… until Marlon & Camille stepped in. Instead of letting him sink, they gave him something far greater than money: A car to drive. A place to live. His basic expenses covered. In other words, they gave him a margin of error — room to fail, recover, and chase his next dream. That margin led to marriage, a new home, and eventually a million-dollar contract. Here’s what you’ll learn in Part 1: - Why your kids need stability more than a paycheck - How to create room for failure without destroying their future - Why marriages and money collapse when there’s no foundation - The hidden sacrifices that build true legacy - ET’s challenge: how do you stay hungry when you’re already full? This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation that every parent, leader, and dreamer needs to hear. 👉 Subscribe now for weekly episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@S2SPodcastChannel?sub_confirmation=1 👉 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/secret-to-success-podcast/id1061833196 👉 Join our Patreon family for exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/c/S2SPodcast120
