    You Can See Exactly What You Want. So Why Don't You Have It? | S2S Ep. 534
    Mar 26 2026
    You can see exactly what you want. You probably always could. So what's actually stopping you? This episode opens with a story CJ wasn't sure he should tell. A 4-hour TSA line. Atlanta airport in complete chaos. And a woman with no badge, no uniform — just the nerve to say: get out of that line. What followed wasn't just a funny airport story. It cracked open one of the most honest conversations this crew has had about why people stay far from the rooms that could actually change them. Not because they don't have access. But because they know exactly what comes with it. The crew gets real about the price of true accountability — what it costs to be in this circle, what it felt like when ET was going in on CJ, and why that fire is exactly what separates the ones who last from the ones who fall off. ET closes Part 1 with a warning from the life of King Saul — when you forget where you came from, the power you worked so hard to get becomes the very thing that destroys you. You can see exactly what you want. The question this episode answers is why you still don't have it. Part 2 drops next week — Jemal reveals how he accidentally became a millionaire, Karl brings Kalm Down with Karl, and Ma drops the rebar moment. If you can see it but you still don't have it — this episode is your answer. 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE - CJ's wild TSA story — and the stranger with no badge who changed everything - Why the people closest to greatness are usually the first ones to walk away from it - "You want the perks, not the accountability" — the hard truth about circles - Character chasing vs. cloud chasing — ET's 20 year philosophy - The Saul Warning — what the Bible says about power outgrowing character - Why the next level won't unlock no matter how hard you work - ET's surgical analogy — why God has to separate you from everyone you love first 📍 CHAPTERS Chapters 00:00:00 Opening: Become the Savage Before You Attract the Savage 00:01:30 Welcome and Team Introductions: The TSA Miracle Story 00:11:17 Ask ET: The Wandering Eye Dilemma 00:20:12 The Chicago Conference Reveal: Why We're Separating Men and Women 00:24:49 The Becoming Principle: Why Maul Is Sitting at This Table 00:36:09 Personal Development Is the Price of Admission 00:39:37 Don't Be a Two, Be a One-in-Waiting: The CJ Partnership Model 00:41:57 The Homework Assignment: Go Back and Watch the Growth 00:49:48 The Surgery Analogy: Why God Separates You Sometimes 00:52:44 The Hard Truth: Proximity Without Accountability Means Nothing 🎟️ THE 1% CONFERENCE - CHICAGO | APRIL 16-18, 2026 Don't just attend.

  • You’re Focused on the Result, That’s Why You’re Still Losing

    You’re Focused on the Result, That’s Why You’re Still Losing
    Mar 19 2026
    You’re not losing because you lack talent. You’re losing because you’re focused on the wrong thing. Most people obsess over results — the money, the body, the relationship, the success. But winners don’t worship outcomes. They build systems. In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, we break down why focusing on the result keeps you stuck — and how shifting to solution thinking changes everything. If you’ve been: • Starting strong but falling off • Setting goals but not seeing progress • Working hard but not moving forward • Believing… but still stuck at the 6-yard line This conversation is for you. We dive into: • The difference between victim thinking and architect thinking • Why belief determines your level of commitment • How focusing on solutions restores power over your life • Why consistency without the right system is rehearsed failure • The mental shift that separates dreamers from disciplined winners You don’t rise to your goals. You rise to your systems. If you’re tired of chasing results and ready to start designing them, this episode will shift your focus.

    Your Gift Already Opened The Door - You Got Lazy And Let It Close #532
    Mar 12 2026
    Your gift already opened the door. The question is: did you get lazy and let it close? In this episode, ET ( The Hip Hop Preacher), and the guys break down the truth about God-given gifts and why most people never reach their potential. They reveal: ✅ How to identify YOUR specific superpower (it's not what you think) ✅ Why people get complacent once their gift produces results ✅ The difference between using your gift for yourself vs. God's purpose ✅ How Karl discovered his gift of SUPPORT ✅ Why Mal's gift of VISION has made him successful in real estate and every other area of his life ✅ The "Get a Backbone" morning routine that sets up your day for success KEY MOMENTS: - E reveals his superpower: calling people back within 24 hours and showing love - Karl explains why he finally embraced being a "supporter" - Mal shares how VISION allows him to see 20-100 years into the future - The fig tree parable: Why God curses gifts that don't produce fruit - Why trying to use someone else's gift will never work for you - The Meridian Mall story: How one vendor outlasted Dick's, Barnes & Noble, and Sbarro BOTTOM LINE: Your gift will make room for you, but only if you keep using it. Stop comparing. Stop getting lazy. Stop trying to be someone else. This is YOUR year to go all in on what God gave YOU. KALM DOWN WITH KARL - "Get a Backbone": Karl breaks down how to build your life on non-negotiables. Your backbone isn't rigid—it's the structure that supports everything. He shares his morning routine: personal worship, family worship, hydration, and workout. When your backbone is together, you don't slump halfway through the day. Mal's Millionaire Moment: Stop letting your money sleep! If you're still using a basic savings account earning 0.001% interest, you're getting bamboozled. Mal breaks down high-yield savings accounts paying 3.5-4.9% that you can set up TODAY. 🔴 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOZGbbU9wctEV8z6-0SL7FQ?sub_confirmation=1 💎 JOIN THE S2S PATREON COMMUNITY Get behind-the-scenes access, live recordings, Q&A sessions, random pop-up dialogues, and exclusive content with ET, Karl, CJ, and Jemal.
