Part 1 of 2: đ„ âWhy You Keep Sabotaging Your Success (And the Hidden Trait Behind It All)â | Dr. Philip Agrios.
Guest: Dr. Philip Agrios | Creator of the T-NOW Methodđ€ Who is Dr. Philip Agrios?
Dr. Philip Agrios is a former physician turned elite performance strategist who discovered the Inborn Sabotaging Traitâa biologically hardwired behavior pattern that unconsciously blocks success. After a forced career shutdown due to chronic illness, he developed the T-NOW Method, a 5-step system that helps individuals instantly transform their sabotaging trait into a Success Trait.
His method has been used by CEOs, high-performing entrepreneurs, and trauma survivors alike to remove deep, invisible barriers and radically realign their lives from the inside out.
đ„ For Listeners WhoâŠ
Secretly feel like no matter how much they accomplish, something inside always pulls them back
Are you tired of mindset hacks and need a neuroscience-backed method that actually sticks
Carry the burden of being âthe strong oneâ in their families, businesses, or communities.
Want transformation without fluffâand performance without burnout.
đ§ About the Episode:
Youâve probably never heard this before:
Youâre not sabotaging yourself because youâre broken.
Youâre doing it because a trait you were born with is still trying to protect you.However, what protected you as a child is now undermining your fulfillment, health, and results.
In this episode, Dr. Philip Agrios joins me to reveal how your Inborn Sabotaging Trait is the core driver behind recurring business blocks, relationship breakdowns, and inner turmoil. We explore how this biological glitch, combined with your learned identity, keeps high performers trapped in invisible cages.
More importantly, we explore how to flip that trait into its opposite: your Success Trait.
This episode isnât about self-help. Itâs about self-interrogation.

đ§ Episode Summary:
.
You scaled the mountain of success. You built companies. You mastered systems. You followed the blueprintâŠ
.
But what happens when the blueprint collapsesâand the cosmos hands you a blank page?.
In Part 1 of our radically candid, soul-cracking conversation with Mitch Russoâbest known as the co-architect behind Tony Robbins and Chet Holmesâ $25M juggernautâwe throw the rulebook out the window.

đ€ How heâs now using AI to coach himselfâby cloning the minds of top authors and visionaries
đ Why leaders at the top are often unknowingly trapped in the wrong gameâand how to wake up without burning it all down
đ§ Why You Should Listen:
This isnât your average entrepreneur story. This is the raw truth behind what happens when achievement meets awakeningâand how the same drive that built empires can be redirected to uncover your true calling.đïž Call to Action:

J. Scott Heathman Part 2 of 2
đ§ âThe Hidden Cost of Commanding With Emotional Armorâ
âIs Emotional Armor Making You a Weaker Leader?â
"Is your leadership just bravado dressed as resilience⊠until your body forces you to face the truth?".
This is not your average war story, nor your average leadership playbook.
.
In Part 2 of this conversation with retired U.S. Air Force Colonel and combat pilot J. Scot Heathman, we peel back the mask of command and stare into the abyss where identity, purpose, and performance unravel. What happens when a leader trained to be unbreakable is brought to his knees, not by enemy fire, but by a brain tumor and a body that refuses to obey?
.
Youâve been told to push through. Youâve been told to âman up.â Youâve been told to hide the pain. But what if none of that makes you stronger, and itâs killing your credibility?
.
đŁ This episode is a visceral look at what happens when a commander becomes a casualtyâand why thatâs the exact moment he becomes a real leader.
đïž In this episode:Why emotional armor is the greatest liability in todayâs leadership
The devastating truth about how we reward performative strength and punish authenticity
How losing control of his own body broke J. Scotâs leadership addiction â and forged a new kind of command
The AIM method for moving through adversity (Acknowledge, Illuminate, Mobilize).
Why âIâm fineâ is the most dangerous lie leaders tell
How a combat pilot learned to lead with Stoicism, optimism, and bare-knuckle truth
The life-changing moment when J. Scotâs autistic son taught him what most leaders never learn
What real courage looks like behind closed doors, not in front of a crowd
If youâre still clinging to old-school command-and-control leadership⊠this episode will tear it down.
If you want to build a team that would walk through fire with you, this is your blueprint.
