What separates the 1% who actually make it from the 99% who talk about it? In this honest and high-energy episode, host Alan welcomes peak performance coach Lauren Johnson to explore the real difference between those who want success and those who are wired for it. From working with elite athletes like the New York Yankees to coaching high-level execs, Lauren shares the mindset patterns that drive long-term excellence, and the quiet sacrifices no one sees. They discuss the power of clarity, consistency, and self-honesty, as well as why so many entrepreneurs fail—not from lack of talent, but lack of systems and standards. If you're serious about your goals (and not just the Instagram version of them), this is the episode for you.
