About this episode

Unstoppable Mindset: Discovering the Edge That Sets Champions Apart


In this special mashup episode, we’re peeling back the layers of what separates the good from the great, and the great from the unstoppable. You’re about to dive into the minds of legendary athletes, entrepreneurs, and influencers, all revealing the strategies they use to dominate in high-pressure situations and overcome relentless challenges.


We kick off with a powerful conversation on mental toughness from boxing champion Andre Ward, who shares how he harnesses fear and channels it into fuel. "Fear is real," he admits, "but courage steps in anyway." We also hear from wrestler Mark "The Undertaker" Calaway, who lived his life in the ring as a relentless character, pushing the limits to not only win matches but leave an unforgettable legacy. These champions don’t just prepare physically—they build a mental fortress that lets them stay steady under pressure, even when the world is watching.


Throughout, Tim Grover, the trainer behind icons like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, breaks down how a relentless commitment to winning means being brutally honest with yourself. He says, "Winning doesn’t care about your feelings; it cares about how bad you want it.” Grover’s insights into pushing past fear and failure give you a glimpse into the “winning mindset”—the mental resilience that keeps these athletes at the top of their game.


We round out the episode with Trent Shelton and Ed discussing how to turn pain into purpose. Shelton’s story of overcoming personal tragedy is a reminder that your greatest trials can become your most powerful victories. He says, “Your perspective can be your prison or your power,” reminding us that every setback has the potential to set us up for a massive comeback.


Key Takeaways:


- How to channel fear into courage under pressure from champion Andre Ward

- Tim Grover’s no-excuses approach to winning and the importance of a “made-up mind”

- The mindset that drives relentless preparation from Mark "The Undertaker" Calaway

- Why your hardest moments can lead to your greatest strengths, with Trent Shelton’s story of transformation



If you’re ready to learn from the greats and step up your mental game, this episode is your blueprint for building an unbreakable mindset.
