Episodes
Positive thinking sounds like a strength until it becomes a way to avoid hard decisions, delay necessary endings, and skip honest self-assessment.
In this episode of Mindset Café, we break down the dark side of positive thinking: how optimism can quietly turn into procrastination, how “good vibes” can block accountability, and why real progress starts with truth, not feelings. We cover the difference between healt...
Winners and losers often want the exact same things. The same goals. The same dreams. So why do some people execute and others stay stuck?
In this episode of Mindset Café, we break down the real separator: standards and identity. Goals aren’t enough—because identity is built through repeated beingness, and every action you take is a vote for the person you’re becoming.
We’ll cover how to stop relying on motiva...
Leadership comes with influence, clarity, and responsibility — but it also comes with a quieter, rarely discussed cost: loneliness.
In this episode of Mindset Café, we break down The Loneliness Curve of Leadership — why, as your responsibility increases, relatability and emotional support often decrease. We explore how influence changes relationships, why clarity separates you from others, and why strong leaders a...
If you miss a habit once, it’s a mistake. If you miss it twice, you’re starting a new habit — and most people don’t catch it until it’s too late.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why the second miss is where your identity shifts
The boiling water metaphor: same stress, different outcome
How to stop letting the environment dictate your standards
Why attitude affects everyone around you...
Most people treat relationships and partnerships like 1 + 1 = 2—two individuals simply adding each other to life. But there’s a better formula: 1 + 1 = 11.
In this episode of Mindset Café, we break down the metaphor that a great relationship doesn’t make you shrink, dilute yourself, or lose your identity. You stay a “1,” your partner stays a “1,” and together you become “11”—a stronger, higher-standard force than eithe...
Most people think they’ll rise to the occasion when it really matters. In reality, they fall to the standards they’ve built when no one is watching.
In this episode of The Mindset Café, we break down the brutal truth about self-discipline, private standards, and why the only work that truly matters is the work nobody sees. You’ll discover why your unseen habits are more powerful than your public image and how...
A shattered bowl mended with gold can change how you see your own story. We take that Kintsugi image and map it onto real life: the breaks you want to hide, the scars you downplay, and the moments you thought would end you. Instead of chasing a spotless image, we walk through how to turn those cracks into visible lines of strength—proof that you’ve been tested and upgraded.
We dig into why scars are receipts,...
Ever catch yourself saying, “I’ll be happy when I hit the goal”? Let’s break that loop. We dive into gratitude as a performance tool, not a consolation prize—how to be proud of the work you’re doing now while still chasing the next level. I walk through the mindset shift from delayed happiness to daily appreciation, and why that shift keeps you grounded, motivated, and hard to burn out.
We explore the moving ...
We share the two wolves parable and turn it into a practical framework for managing emotions, shaping identity, and making better choices. Small promises, repeated daily, starve the dark wolf and strengthen the habits that carry you through stress, fatigue, and doubt.

• reactions over events and training your default
• defining “feeding the wolf” as rep...
Pain shows up on its own schedule; suffering often arrives by invitation. We explore the “second arrow” mindset—an old teaching with fresh power—that separates life’s unavoidable hits from the self-inflicted loops that follow. I walk through why the first arrow is a fixed cost of being human and how the second arrow quietly taxes your confidence, focus, and momentum when you need them most.
Across real moment...
Want more respect, momentum, and opportunities without waiting on talent or perfect timing? We go straight at the quiet truth: consistent, unglamorous effort is the edge that most people overlook. From showing up early to following up fast, we unpack the small behaviors that build trust, compound into reputation capital, and create real leverage in your work, health, and relationships.
We start by reframing w...
We break down why comparison creates fake losses and how to rebuild your scoreboard around the goal you actually want. From heart-rate zones to business KPIs, we show how to measure what matters, use your resources, and make discipline easier by lowering friction.
• comparison as a source of fake losses and negative loops
• fun challenges versus obsession and priority hijacking
• Myzone zones and why ...
Most people tap out when the work gets boring, not when it gets hard. That’s the opening. In this Mindset Café episode, we unpack how to outlast boredom long enough to compound results: the “bored vs. hard” distinction, the wealth equation of volume over time, crossing the boredom threshold, frictionless routines, input scoreboards, streak mechanics, batching and templates, environment design, anti-quitting contracts,...
Luck isn’t random—it’s engineered by how you work and who you are while you work. In this Mindset Café episode, we break down 10 practical moves to expand your opportunity surface area: reframing luck, defining the work-ethic/attitude equation, compounding daily reps, turning attitude into a credibility multiplier, making yourself findable, stacking interlocking skills, moving fast when windows open, choosing hard roo...
The obstacle isn’t in your path—it is the path. We dive into a no-fluff approach for turning constraints into momentum using simple, repeatable tools you can run today. Instead of waiting for “more time” or “more budget,” we show how specific limits become the outline of a workable plan that advances your goals without the drama.
We start by drawing a sharp line between excuses and measurements, then shift th...
Your destiny starts with a single thought. In this episode of The Mindset Cafe, Devan breaks down the timeless creed: “Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your feelings. Watch your feelings, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your lifestyle. Watch your lifestyle, it becomes your destiny.”
We’ll unpack how co...
What separates those who achieve lasting success from those who constantly chase quick fixes? The answer lies in understanding two fundamentally different approaches to goal achievement: the lottery ticket mindset versus the blueprint mindset.
Most of us have fallen prey to the allure of overnight success—wishing to drop 20 pounds instantly, hoping a single social media post will make our business explode, or...
Financial expert Paden Squires shares powerful insights on tax planning, wealth building, and entrepreneur mindset strategies to help business owners keep more of what they earn.

Have you ever told yourself "I can't do this" based solely on past failures? That moment when your mind convinces you something is impossible despite how much stronger, smarter, or more capable you've become?
During a recent Strive Elite workout, I witnessed a member reach her breaking point while attempting an exercise she believed was beyond her capabilities. Tears welled up as she repea...
When your energy is low, support is thin, and fear is loud—do it anyways. In this live episode of The Mindset Cafe, Devan breaks down the four-word discipline reframe that turns hesitation into action. You’ll learn how to move without motivation, build identity-based habits, neutralize fear, and create systems that make consistency automatic. We’ll cover practical scripts, micro-commitments, rejection handling, and a ...
