In this episode of Everything They Don't Tell You, I sit down with Amy Morin, licensed psychotherapist and author of the "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" series.

We talk about the difference between mental strength and acting tough, why so many high performers avoid being alone with their thoughts, how to set boundaries without damaging relationships, and how to reframe failure so it stops owning your identity.

If you're building a business, leading a team, or carrying more than you admit, this is an episode you can't miss.

What you'll hear:

• Why "acting tough" is usually avoidance
• The list Amy wrote to survive grief
• Boundaries that protect you and respect others
• Why quiet time feels unbearable for so many people
• How to interpret failure without turning it into a verdict

David Meltzer is one of the most respected voices in personal growth, leadership, and business. He's a globally recognized speaker, author, entrepreneur, coach, and Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Institute.

In this short episode, we go deep on the invisible stuff that holds high performers back: the meaning you assign to your past, the difference between surrender and quitting, and the daily non-negotiables that create real results.

Key ideas we cover:

• Why the "meaning of the past" can cap your self-image
• The "Stop, Drop, Roll" framework for getting back into alignment
• Non-negotiable behaviors, and why consistency beats intensity
• The trap of "I'll be happy when" and what to replace it with
• Why asking for help is the ultimate form of humility

BMI is one number, not the full story. Dr. Melody Rodarte breaks down what doctors miss and what actually matters.

In this episode, Josh sits down with Dr. Melody Rodarte, board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, to unpack why BMI can be misleading, why "eat less, exercise more" is incomplete, and why calories are not metabolically equal. They cover GLP-1 medications and the right way to think about them, fasting vs timed restricted eating, autophagy, and why perimenopause can start earlier and last longer than most people realize. General discussion only, not medical advice.
