What if everything you were taught about success left out the one thing that actually makes it work?

In this episode, John Mitchell, entrepreneur, author, and founder of the 12 Minute-a-Day methodology, joins host David Sliman for a powerful conversation on how to bridge the gap between knowing what to do—and actually doing it.

This isn’t theory. John used this process to 25x his income, coach elite NCAA coaches, and get his course The Science of Success approved at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas.

💡 You’ll learn:

• Why most success advice doesn’t work long-term (and what’s missing)
• The neuroscience behind why your brain ignores your goals
• How to rewire your subconscious in 21 days using a simple daily practice
• The exact 12-minute method John used to radically change his health, income, and relationships
• Why 98% of people never achieve their potential—and how to join the 2% who do

This episode is a must-watch for high performers, entrepreneurs, and anyone ready to stop winging it and start living with clarity and intention.
