“You can be extremely productive and have very little stress in your life. And a lot of people have done that to their surprise… boom, it’s like an explosion of productivity.” 

When stress hijacks your clarity, your brain becomes the worst kind of news outlet—one that feeds you a distorted, fear-driven narrative. This episode breaks down why emotions like anger and anxiety aren’t triggered by the events themselves, but by invisible mental filters convincing you that you’re under attack. These same filters—blame, harm, and wrongdoing—can torpedo decision-making, damage relationships, and sabotage leadership if left unexamined. 

Dr. Mort Orman shares the system he developed after decades of personal struggle and medical practice: a repeatable method for dismantling emotional triggers and regaining control. From navigating corporate stress to dealing with bureaucratic injustice, he explains how to transform emotional reactions into powerful clarity by reframing your internal narratives. 

Dr. Mort Orman is a physician, stress relief expert, and the author of Dr. Orman’s Life-Changing Anger Cure. He’s published 26 books on emotional mastery and helps leaders eliminate chronic stress and anger so they can operate at peak performance—without wrecking their health or relationships. 

Expert action steps: 

1. Be okay with being wrong. 

Mistakes help you learn and grow. 

1. Old problems can still be solved. 

Just because it’s been hard for years doesn’t mean it can’t change. 

1. Healthy relationships take work. 

Learn what hurts them so you can stop doing it.

“What would a man do for his family, for his daughter? What would a woman, what would a mom do for her family? Whatever it takes.”

From breaking generational patterns to refusing mediocrity in business and family, it’s a call to arms for those ready to serve something bigger than themselves.

He outlines the “ABCs of Going Viral”: Advocate, Be Authentic, Be Bold, and be in a Community. He stresses that the message—your truth—always trumps the vehicle.

“To change your future, you’ve got to sit down and do something that’s going to terrify you a little bit.” 

Success rarely begins with certainty—it often starts with confusion, discomfort, and a stubborn refusal to settle.

Martin Dugard, the co-author behind the iconic Killing series, shares how rejection, corporate drudgery, and a surprise trip to Madagascar launched his storied career.

“Iran is one of the most ancient, ongoing nation-states in the history of the world.” 

When you understand history, you realize tyranny doesn’t last—but it doesn’t fall on its own. This episode breaks down why Iran’s liberation is not just a regional concern, but a global priority for anyone who values freedom. The fall of the Islamic Republic could usher in a new democratic renaissance, with Iran reclaiming its status as a cultural and political leader of the Middle East—and a friend to the West. 

Nicky and Wayne Allyn Root are co-authors of two bestselling books, and they’ve built a partnership rooted in love for Western freedoms. This conversation was sparked by escalating tensions in Iran and Israel, and their shared conviction that the fall of Iran’s tyrannical regime could be a turning point for the world. Both bring urgency to a message that freedom-loving people need to hear. Nicky separates the regime from the people, highlighting Iran’s deep cultural legacy, the courage of its citizens, the path toward a post-mullah era—and why Westerners must stop learning the wrong lessons from history.
