Today, you’re going to learn the life lessons most people learn too late.

This episode will teach you exactly what matters most in life.

Because in this powerful conversation, Dr. Rahul Jandial, MD, Ph.D. – a world-renowned cancer neurosurgeon and neuroscientist – shares the #1 regret he’s heard from more than 15,000 patients at the end of their lives.

Dr. Rahul Jandial is the Medical Director of Neurosurgical Oncology and Skull Base Surgery at City of Hope in Los Angeles, one of the leading cancer centers in the world.

He operates on brain cancers and spinal tumors in both adults and children, and he directs a research lab focused on developing cutting-edge neuroscience and cancer treatments.

Today, he is going to share what matters most when time is limited: what people wish they’d done sooner, what they wish they’d stopped caring about, and what becomes crystal clear at the end of life - including why so many of us wait too long to start living the life we truly want, and how to shift that starting now.

In this episode, he also shares his own story - from college dropout to security guard to neurosurgeon - and how reinventing his life taught him to go after more and trust himself.

This episode is both a wake-up call and a lifeline to hold if you are navigating chaos, facing brutal news, or experiencing a hard time.

In this episode you will learn:

-How to stop postponing the life you want and start making better decisions

-What to do when life hits you hard, including a diagnosis, a layoff, a breakup, or the loss of someone you love

-How to get through the first hours after brutal news without spiraling or panicking

-What to do if you are overwhelmed and not sure what to focus on

-A simple daily practice so you can handle chaos with more control

-How to bet on yourself even when other people don’t understand it

 After this episode, you're going to know exactly what matters most in life and how to find the mindset you need when life hits you with something you didn’t see coming.

Today’s episode is going to change the way you think about your life.

If you keep telling yourself you want to:

-go after something bigger

-start something new

-speak up

-take a chance

-or finally do the thing you know you’re meant to do in life…

but you “just can’t seem to find the time,” or “make it happen,” this is the conversation you need to hear right now.

Seth Godin is going to call you out in the kindest, clearest, most liberating way.

Seth is one of Mel’s most beloved business mentors. He’s written more than 20 bestselling books, his ideas have influenced millions of people around the world, and he’s widely considered the godfather of modern marketing.

But this episode is not about marketing.

It’s about the life you want to live, and why you keep putting it off with busyness, scrolling, excuses like, “I’ll do it when…”

Seth is going to teach you how to stop procrastinating and start moving forward, even if you’re scared, even if you’re tired, even if you don’t feel ready.

Once you hear what Seth says about resistance, you’re going to feel a fire in your belly to make you take action.

You’ll learn:

-The one word that is keeping you stuck and the one word that will help you move forward

-How to stop waiting for permission and pick yourself

-The small, simple way to start that actually works, even when you’re overwhelmed

-How to stop getting trapped by fear and what other people think

-How perfectionism keeps you safe, but also keeps you stuck

By the end of this conversation, you’re going to feel capable, and you’re going to want to take action immediately.
