THE ED MYLETT SHOW

What If the Worst Day of Your Life Is Actually Training You to Live Greatly? In this episode, I sit down with Jason Redman, and this is one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. Jason is a retired Navy SEAL who was shot eight times in combat, nearly lost his life, and then rebuilt everything from the ground up. But this episode is not about war stories. It is about how you respond when life ambushes you, how you refuse to quit when fear tries to take over, and how you decide who you are going to become after everything falls apart. Jason shares the truth that surprised me most. The day he was wounded was not the worst day of his life. His darkest moment came earlier, when arrogance, isolation, and shame nearly cost him his career and his life. He opens up about hitting rock bottom, sitting alone with a gun in his mouth, and the moment he realized that choosing to live meant choosing to take responsibility again. We talk about how victim mindset destroys leaders and why true strength always starts with humility. We also break down Jason’s Overcome Mindset, a framework built on awareness, preparation, and action. He explains why bad days are not the enemy, but the training ground for greatness. If you have been knocked down by loss, failure, or fear, this part of the conversation will give you practical tools to get back on your feet without pretending everything is fine. One of the most powerful moments of the episode is the story behind the sign Jason taped to his hospital door after being shot. It was his declaration that no one was allowed to feel sorry for him, including himself. That mindset became the foundation of his recovery and his mission to live greatly, even when life hurts. We also dive into marriage, faith, and what it really takes to build an unbreakable relationship when trauma enters the picture. If you are standing on the edge of something big but fear is holding you back, this conversation is your push. Jason reminds us that action is what unlocks greatness, and that regret is far heavier than failure. Key Takeaways: Why there are no bad days if you are still alive How to develop the Overcome Mindset when life blindsides you Why shrinking your time frame can save you in dark seasons How to stop living in fear after trauma and loss What it truly means to live greatly and honor the people you love This episode is a reminder that you are not broken, you are being built. Get ready to rethink everything you believe about pain, purpose, and resilience.

What if the most dangerous weapon sabotaging your happiness, confidence, and momentum isn’t out there but something you use against yourself every single day? In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together powerful conversations that expose one of the biggest silent killers of fulfillment and success: comparison. I sit down with Lewis Howes, Rachel Hollis, Dr. Robert Waldinger, and Dean Graziosi to unpack how comparison quietly drains our joy, distorts our self worth, and keeps us stuck chasing someone else’s version of success instead of our own. I break down why comparison is the fastest pathway to unhappiness and how it sneaks into every area of our lives, from our bodies and finances to our relationships and sense of purpose. You will hear me explain why it is never your current situation that creates misery, but the story you tell yourself when you compare it to a different time or a different person. This episode is about learning when comparison must be put down and when it can be used strategically as leverage to create real change. Lewis Howes opens up about the internal pressure to measure up and how comparison nearly stole his peace during seasons of growth. Rachel Hollis shares why comparison is the death of joy, especially in a world fueled by social media highlight reels, and how shifting your focus inward restores confidence and clarity. Dr. Robert Waldinger brings the science, revealing what decades of research say about happiness, fulfillment, and why chasing external validation never delivers lasting satisfaction. And Dean Graziosi gets real about how comparison can either paralyze you or fuel your next level, depending on how you use it. This mashup will challenge you to separate happiness from achievement, and to understand the difference between your higher self and lower self. I walk you through how to stop competing in areas where comparison only creates pain, while learning to harness it intentionally when it is time to grow, improve, and evolve. If you have ever felt behind, unfulfilled, or quietly frustrated despite doing “everything right,” this conversation will hit home. By the end of this episode, I want you to feel lighter, clearer, and more in control of your internal world. You were never meant to win someone else’s race. You were meant to master your own lane, live with intention, and build a life rooted in peace, progress, and purpose. Key Takeaways Why comparison is the root cause of unhappiness in nearly every area of life The difference between using comparison for misery versus using it for motivation How social media amplifies comparison and what to do to protect your peace What decades of happiness research reveal about fulfillment and self acceptance How to shift from external validation to internal confidence When comparison can be used as leverage to create meaningful change The mindset shift that allows you to pursue success without sacrificing joy This episode will help you put the weapon down when it is hurting you, and pick it up only when it can truly serve you. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ←  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.

What If the Pain You Survived Is the Exact Reason You’re Meant to Win? In this conversation, I sit down with Nattie Neidhart, and let me tell you right now, this is not a wrestling interview. This is a life interview. Nattie is one of the most accomplished and respected performers in WWE history, but what makes her extraordinary has nothing to do with championships or records. It’s the resilience, compassion, and self belief she forged through family dysfunction, loss, and moments when it would have been easier to stay small. Her story will hit anyone who’s ever felt invisible, underestimated, or unsure of their own voice. We talk deeply about what it was like growing up in one of the most legendary families in professional wrestling while trying to find her own identity as a woman in a male dominated industry. Nattie opens up about living through financial collapse, instability at home, and caring for a father who was quietly struggling with brain injury and addiction. She shares how those early years shaped her work ethic, her empathy, and her refusal to wait for permission to become who she knew she could be. One of the most powerful themes in this conversation is reframing your past. Nattie explains how it’s not the events of your life that define you, but the meaning you attach to them. She walks through how she stopped waiting for the perfect opportunity and instead built her own seat at the table. Whether that meant creating new characters, writing her book The Last Hart Beating, or stepping into opportunities when the timing was far from perfect, she chose progress over permission. We also talk about self worth, comparison, and why chasing success without healing will never be enough. Nattie shares the moment she finally allowed herself to ask, “Why not me?” and how that question changed everything. This conversation is for anyone who’s been doing the work quietly, supporting others, and wondering if their moment will ever come. If you’ve ever felt like your background disqualified you, like your family history defined your ceiling, or like you were meant to stay small to survive, this episode will remind you of the truth. You are not broken. You are being built. Key Takeaways: Why it’s not your past but the story you tell about it that shapes your future How to build confidence when you grew up without stability Why waiting for permission keeps most people stuck How to reframe trauma into strength, purpose, and compassion What it really means to build your own seat at the table This is one of those conversations that heals something you didn’t realize you were still carrying. Share it with someone who needs permission to stop playing small.

What if the very thing you’re avoiding is the key to deeper love, stronger relationships, and real fulfillment? In this powerful mashup episode, I bring together some of the most honest and transformative conversations I’ve ever had about love, connection, and vulnerability. Too many people want intimacy without exposure, connection without risk, and love without discomfort. And the truth is, that trade never works. In these conversations, we get real about why most people struggle in relationships and how learning to be vulnerable is not a weakness, but the ultimate strength. You’ll hear from Jay Shetty on why self love and emotional awareness are the foundation of every healthy relationship, and how avoiding hard conversations quietly erodes connection. Humble The Poet shares deeply personal insights on emotional walls, fear of being hurt again, and why vulnerability is the bridge that allows love to flow both ways. His perspective will challenge how you think about pain, empathy, and what it really means to open your heart. I also sit down with LeAnn Rimes, who opens up about self acceptance, emotional healing, and the courage it takes to truly be seen, especially after public pain. And Matthew Hussey breaks down the patterns that sabotage modern relationships, from fear of rejection to the need for control, and how emotional honesty changes everything. This episode is not just about romantic love. It’s about the relationship you have with yourself, the walls you’ve built to protect your heart, and the cost of keeping them up. If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m never doing that again,” after being hurt, this conversation will speak directly to you. Love does not require perfection. It requires courage. And vulnerability is the price of admission. Key Takeaways Why vulnerability is the foundation of real connection, not a liability How emotional walls meant to protect you often become prisons The difference between self love and self avoidance Why sitting with pain is sometimes the fastest path to healing How fear of being hurt again quietly sabotages relationships The skills required to build intimacy in a distracted, guarded world If you want deeper relationships, more meaningful love, and a stronger connection to who you really are, this episode will challenge you, stretch you, and move you. The life you want is on the other side of the conversations you’ve been avoiding. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ←  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the most important lesson of your year isn’t what you accomplished, but who you became along the way? In this special year end "Best of 2025" mashup, I’m bringing together some of the most powerful conversations from the past year to help you reflect, reset, and step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and conviction. These moments are not just highlights. They are reminders of what actually moves the needle when it comes to faith, discipline, purpose, and becoming the best version of yourself. You’ll hear from the late Judge Frank Caprio, whose wisdom and compassion remind us that character always matters more than circumstance, and from Marcus Stanley, who breaks down what it really takes to build wealth without losing your values or your soul. These conversations hit at the heart of leadership, responsibility, and what it means to win the right way. I also bring you insights from Kim Perell and Brendon Burchard, two people who understand momentum at the highest level. Kim shares the mindset shifts required to scale ideas into impact, while Brendon delivers timeless truths about consistency, energy, and showing up every day when motivation fades. This is about discipline over hype and alignment over shortcuts. You’ll also hear powerful reflections from Sahil Bloom and Humble The Poet, who challenge the way we think about time, success, and inner peace. These conversations slow you down just enough to ask better questions about your life, your priorities, and who you are becoming when no one is watching. That awareness is often the missing piece between wanting more and actually living more. As we close out the year, I want this episode to serve as both a mirror and a compass. A mirror to reflect on what 2025 taught you, and a compass to help you move forward with intention. If you listen closely, you’ll hear one common thread throughout every conversation. The people who win long term are the ones who decide who they are going to be before life decides for them. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Why character and compassion are non negotiables for lasting success How to build wealth and impact without compromising your values The disciplines that separate high performers from everyone else Why clarity about time and priorities changes everything How self awareness becomes the foundation for peace and fulfillment What it really means to finish a year stronger than you started it If you’re ready to close this year with gratitude and step into the next one with purpose, this episode is for you. ⁠⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ←  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.
