Regret. Itâs a loaded word, especially around the holidays.
But it doesnât have to be as painful as it seems. Imagine the peace of mind that comes with knowing youâve done everything in your power to let someone truly understand where youâre coming from and why. How can we hold ourselves accountable and ensure weâre not the problem in those critical moments?
Maybe youâre one of the lucky ones who doesnât have heavy personal issues to navigate. Instead, you want to show up for your team, lead with intention, and set bold goals for the year ahead.

Hereâs the truth: self-awareness is a gift greater than anything youâll find under the tree. This episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you be more present and intentional in every moment of your life, whether big or small.

Thereâs nowhere lonelier in the world than rock bottom.
Itâs a place where overwhelm, anxiety, and uncertainty feel relentless, and the total weight of your burden makes moving forward seem impossible. Staying down is a choice, but itâs one that you really canât afford to make.
Before you pick yourself up, you need to know exactly where you are. When you recognize where the demons holding you down come from, you can see the path you need to take to fight back and regain control.
Itâs not about hacks, quick fixes, or the perfect framework. Itâs about facing the hard truth head-on, with squared shoulders, and taking action, even when the easy choice is to stay down.

This is not a âsocial media is badâ episode.
That conversation has been talked to death. The truth is, very few things are inherently good or badâitâs all in how you use them. But todayâs episode is about how they use you. If âtheyâ were writing this, theyâd correct me and say, itâs how we allow them to use us.
What makes the algorithm so effective at manipulating our sense of self worth and exploiting our deepest insecurities? Why do we fall into cycles of comparison, inadequacy, and pleasure seeking that keep us hooked? More importantly, how can we recognize these traps and reclaim control before they erode our self identity and damage our relationships?
This episode is raw and unfiltered, straight from the heart and brutally honest. Brett speaks uncomfortable truths, using current cultural trends to challenge how we think and act.
In this episode, Brett unpacks:
Self-completion theory and why the ânever enoughâ voice always catches our earHow to audit the âfeedâ thatâs fueling your thoughtsEngaging with content intentionally and seeing things from the other sideLiving the life youâre called to without falling for the pain avoidance lieThereâs so much more covered in this episode than we could ever fit into this description!

The knot in your stomach. That flush of unease when you know youâve fallen short of your own standards.
The only way to truly adapt and evolve is through real vulnerabilityânot the gentle, polished kind from TED talks, but the raw honesty that forces you to confront hard truths about yourself.
This isnât about stepping out of your comfort zone in a clichĂ©d way; itâs about embracing the discomfort and going to war until youâre fully transformed.
Todayâs guest, Kyle Holland, knows a thing or two about facing challenges head-on. As an Exercise Physiologist with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, heâs worked in some of the most demanding environments and spent 10 years with the 160th SOAR(A), a Special Operations Unit in the Army. Kyle has also trained professional athletes and MMA fighters at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning and worked with both the University of Iowa and Louisvilleâs football programs. A devoted husband and father of three, Kyle brings a grounded perspective to every topic he tackles.
In this episode, Brett and Kyle dive into real talk on topics including:
Taking accountability for your actions when youâre in the wrongHow to turn your setbacks into springboards for grow with grace Strategies to avoid being cut by the double-edged sword of strengths and weaknessesWhy politics gets us so riled up *Brett reveals a major life change and how heâs choosing to respondWe want to thank Kyle for joining us!

Audit. Itâs one of the most unsettling words in the English dictionary, carrying a connotation of fear and unease that makes people shy away from even the slightest hint of it
But, like most intimidating things, an audit becomes far less daunting once you look at it more closely. One definition of an audit is simply âa systematic review or assessment of something.â Think of it as a straightforward check-inâa moment to take stock of where you stand and where you want to go.
At the end of the day, an audit is really about something we talk about time and time again: accountability. Itâs a chance to be honest with ourselves about whatâs working, whatâs not, and how we can move forward with intention.
In todayâs episode, Brett guides you through practical steps to reflect, recalibrate, and get back on track before the year wraps up. If you wait until January it will be too late. Topics weâll dive into include:
Assessing your goals and determining when to pivotHow to measure growth and allow yourself grace when itâs lackingIdentifying your needle movers and deciding if itâs time to double down Letting go of the things and people who no longer serve youConstructing an immediate action plan to get started NOWIf you find this episode helpful, check out our most updated FREE Self â Reflection Guide or browse through any of our other free resources!
Weâve also created an amazing virtual course called Blindspot designed to help you tackle the barriers keeping you from achieving your personal and professional goals.
Consider joining our Mighty Networks Digital Community, where youâll gain access to information, discussion, and a group of professionals (including the AoC Team) who are serious about their development and will help you confront the biggest obstacles keeping you from achieving your goals.

Empty Coaching. Words and phrases that lack teeth.
âGood job! Youâre getting there! I like that.â
âWeâve got to get better. Câmon, step it up. Thatâs not what Iâm looking for.â
Weâve all been guilty of letting these clichĂ©s fly out of our mouths at one point or another. But do they actually help inspire change or simply fill the silence? In todayâs episode, we cut through these hollow lines and explore how we, as leaders and coaches, can move beyond surface-level feedback to foster both immediate performance improvements and long-term growth..
Brett and our guest, Tex McQuilkin, get to the heart of what makes feedback impactfulâwhat to say, when to say it, and how to become the kind of leader the world truly needs. Tex, a national-level presenter, coach, and content creator, brings his expertise as a certified strength and conditioning specialist and holds a Masterâs in health behavior change. Heâs led seminars in 16 countries, working with everyone from professional athletes to Navy SEALs.
Todayâs show is a very fun and honest conversation between two friends and colleagues on a range of topics including:
Augmented feedback: the different types and how to make each one impactfulThe #1 tactic any coach or leader can use to improve IMMEDIATELYShame as a motivator and our ability to harness negative emotionsHow treating our thoughts as âtouristsâ can help us defeat our negativity biasAnd *BONUS*: What Michael Myers can teach us about coachingWe want to thank Tex for joining us! Follow him on Instagram @mcquilkin, check out his new podcast, Captains & Coaches, and catch him across the Art Of Coaching universeâwhether at our live events, in our mastermind group The Coalition, or online in our digital community.
The Apprenticeship - Become more socially agile with our live Leadership Training Workshop. When we say âleadership training,â we are not referring to cheesy corny trust-falls, motivational speak, or anything of the sorts. We are talking about the things that people say they wish they would have known earlier in their career and life - how to navigate difficult people and conversations, power dynamics, negotiations, and implement change.
If you deal with people-problems at all, if youâre in a leadership position or want to be in a leadership role, if you want LESS DRAMA - you need to get to this event! Check out our entire 2025 live event schedule for the best date and location for you!

Our lives are not the movies.
When sudden, unpredictable events like family hardships or natural disasters strike, it can feel like weâre living in one. But more often, the changes in our stories are subtle.
The turmoil is internal, and weâre left to wrestle with our challenges quietly, on our own.
Todayâs guest is no stranger to this real-life push and pull. She knows what itâs like to juggle the expectations of motherhood, navigate life transitions, and manage the chaos that comes with it all. Dr. Emma Laird, PT, DPT, OCS is a board-certified physical therapist at Pro Kinetix in Oakland, California, specializing in orthopedic care. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from MGH Institute of Health Professions and is a certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. Emma brings a holistic approach to helping her clients return to their favorite activities while promoting lifelong movement health. A Bay Area native, Emma is passionate about sports and strength training, values she learned early on from her active upbringing. When she's not working, she enjoys spending time with her fiancĂ©, their dog, exploring local breweries, and staying active outdoors.
Todayâs show is a real-world conversation on topics such as:
Maintaining a healthy connection with your partner during a season of changeThe myth of our âbest selfâ and how optimal is fluidManaging internal and external pressures on your career during family changes Redefining success and recalibrating your goals to align with your new life pathThe power of showing up consistently as your authentic, imperfect selfWe want to thank Emma for joining us! If youâre in the Oakland, CA area and need help recovering from an injury, visit her and her team at Pro Kinetix.

Weâve all heard the motivational phrase, âFailure isnât an option.â It sounds inspiring, but is it really true?
Failure, in reality, is an optionâoften chosen in the form of inaction, silence, or the unwillingness to engage. How many times have you held back an idea, avoided speaking up, or let a moment pass because of the fear of judgment? Playing it safe is extremely tragic.
In todayâs episode, weâre diving into the cost of silence and the hidden price we pay by not putting ourselves out there. Whatâs really stopping us from stepping forward? And what can we do to shift from apprehension to action?
In this tough love episode, Brett takes the gloves off and gets real about:
The evolutionary roots behind our fear of rejectionHow our ego is the true source behind our hesitation to engageCriticism, its inevitability, and how to turn it into dataHarnessing pride as a shield to protect against self-devaluationNavigating the fear of success versus the fear of failureReferenced Episodes:

Itâs the holy grail of mental health and wellness for many people. Almost all of us, at one point or another, have chased the elusive 'work-life balance,' hoping to find the perfect harmony between our careers and personal lives.
But is 'balance' really the right word? Perhaps itâs a misnomer that oversimplifies the complexity of juggling work and family.
Todayâs topic arose from a conversation between Brett and several of our facilitators about the push and pull that occurs between career and family. Itâs a concept we all struggle with in some capacity, and in this episode, weâll share insights from that discussion along with practical strategies for managing the demands of work and family.
Tune in as we get real on a this common struggle, as we explore:
The misnomer of âbalanceâ and how to define it for yourselfHow guilt influences decisions in your professional lifeRealigning your goals to reflect what truly mattersHow to recognize if the obstacle in your was is YOU - and what to do about itPut Us On Blast: We want to hear your thoughts!

âThey just wonât listen. No matter how clearly I explain it, they refuse to see my side of things. Itâs like talking to a brick wall."
Have you ever felt like this, like you're hitting a dead end with someone who just wonât budge? Influencing people is an art, one that often requires more than just logic and facts, especially in todayâs world where information has been turned into a kind of religion willing to anoint whoever can wield it more skillfully.
In todayâs episode, weâll revisit several past topics and connect the dots to reveal an alternative way to move the ball forward. Oftentimes, if we try to bull our way straight ahead, weâre met with the most resistance. In reality, an indirect route can be like finding a perfect gap in the defenseâavoiding tackles and making the smoothest run toward the end zone.
Topics Discussed:
The necessity of understanding power dynamics and influence tacticsHow penetrating someoneâs ring of influence can help your causeCoalition building and the true strength in numbers when voices alignInvoking reciprocity and how deep-seated trust begins with givingI GET IT, NOW HOW DO I GET THIS TO WORK FOR ME? - Communication is something none of us will ever perfect, but how do you expect to get better if you donât hold yourself accountable and do something to get better at it? Weâd love for you to join us at one of our Apprenticeship workshops, where youâll not only gain the knowledge and understanding you need to navigate the messy realities of relationships and leadership, but more importantly, youâll get hands on experience working through your specific situation and gain the perspective of the AOC team and other individuals looking to improve themselves.

âBefore tackling this problem, let me figure out how to make this simple. Itâs really not that complicatedâŠâ
Have you ever taken this approach when dealing with a difficult issue with your family, friends, staff, or coworkers? While this tactic might work in some situations, most complex problems require solutions that reductive thinking simply canât provide.
Library and bookstore shelves are brimming with management and leadership books packed with "how-to" lists, buckets, quadrants, and countless linear methods that promise to solve problems easily and efficiently, and take your people and business to the next level. From simplifying decision-making to categorizing leadership styles, these books often present a structured, step-by-step approach that appeals to those looking for quick fixes and plug and play templates.
Whether itâs procrastination, avoidance, or just the allure of a quick fix, itâs time to roll up our sleeves and confront why we keep dipping into this well of oversimplified solutionsâbecause, as Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. And when the real challenges hit, those tidy answers rarely stand up to the blow.
In todayâs podcast, weâre taking the gloves off and having a frank conversation about:
Framework hopping, what it is and why people do itWhy exposure alone NEVER equates to real skill or competenceThe long term effects of over relying on simple fixes to solve complex problemsHow leaning into the thing youâre avoiding is the best path forwardAs always, we love your feedback! Happy, sad, mad, indifferent (which isnât very helpful, if you want to get better at giving feedback check out this episode) send it all to [email protected].

Have you ever thought, "I'd love to do that, but I just don't have the money," or do you have interests or passions outside of your professional life that you've suppressed in order to advance your career?
