Summer Hiatus Announcement!

If your conversations are starting to feel more like combat, you’re not alone. In this powerful episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Jefferson Fisher—trial attorney, social media sensation, and author of The Next Conversation—to talk about the small shifts that create major breakthroughs in communication. From regulating your nervous system to choosing connection over triumph, this episode is packed with practical, actionable tools you can use today.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “When you set out to win an argument, you often will lose the relationship. If you only see it as something to win, that means you’re going to lose a lot more.”
 2. “Who wants to be around the person who always has to be right? That is somebody who is lonely.”
 3. “Instead of seeing arguments as something to win, you see them as something to unravel.”
 4. “You don’t have to like it. You just gotta understand it.”
 5. “That’s the key with connection: I can disagree with you and still connect with you. I can still be unhappy, I can still be mad at you, and still connect with you.”
 6. “You are in complete control of the pace of the conversation.”
 7. “When you don’t say it with control, you end up reacting rather than responding. It’s just your natural fight or flight will take over and you’re going to start responding more emotionally.”
 8. “You gotta let them pour it all out before they’ll ever be willing to accept anything that you say.”

Key Takeaways

Arguments Aren’t Battles. 1. If your goal is to win, you’ve already lost. Reframe arguments as something to unravel, not conquer.
Start With Self-Control. 2. Nervous system regulation is the key to effective communication—especially when things get tense.
Use “Small Talks.” 3. Short, verb-based phrases like “be still” or “practice kindness” can center you in high-stakes conversations.
Connection > Agreement. 4. We don’t always have to be on the same page to cultivate a meaningful relationship.
Confidence Follows Action. 5. Speak with assertiveness, not apology. Confidence grows as you use your voice.

JEFFERSON FISHER: Staying Grounded When Tensions Rise

What do you do when business feels hard—and you assume it’s your fault? In this raw and rich conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dave Ramsey to talk about what really goes into building a business that lasts. Drawing from his 30+ year journey with Ramsey Solutions, Dave shares stories of failure, clarity, succession, and the slow handoff of legacy—along with what most founders get wrong about growth. If you’ve ever felt behind, discouraged, or unsure how to lead your business into the future, this episode will show you the next light on the path.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “The dirty little secret is: Everyone’s money is messed up.”
 2. “As long as I can clearly see the next step, it gives me tremendous energy and focus and hope.”
 3. “We’ve learned with all the bruises to look for the next thing but not to sell out to it.”
 4. “You gotta change the word. The word is: I 
experimented. 5. I didn’t fail.”
 6. “You give other people the credit when things are right and take the hit when things are wrong. Because it is your job as the leader.”
 7. “People are our greatest blessing and they also give us the most trouble.”
 8. “I have to constantly stop and say: Let them do it. You did hand it off. Don’t take it back. They’re doing okay.”

Key Takeaways

Business Is Hard. 1. If you’re a small business owner struggling to make it all work, you’re in really good company. The struggle is normal, and you’re not alone.
Cut Through the Fog. 2. You don’t need to know the whole path. You just need enough clarity to light your next steps.
Good News: You’re the Problem. 3. If your business is stuck, look in the mirror. That’s not shame—it’s a solvable problem.
Succession Starts Now. 4. Planning for legacy doesn’t mean you’re quitting. It means you’re a good steward. Whether you have five team members or 500, the time to start is now.

DAVE RAMSEY: Build a Business That Lasts

What if the answer to your overwhelm isn’t a new planner or app—but a walk around the block, a shared meal, or a Saturday spent gardening? In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Arthur Boers, author of Living into Focus and Shattered, to talk about the kind of practices that help us resist the pressure of a hyperconnected world and even heal from generational trauma by reconnecting to what matters most. If you’ve ever longed to feel more grounded, whole, or present, this conversation will give you the language—and tools—you’ve been missing.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “Technoloy itself is not the problem. Technology is human manipulation of nature for human priorities… The question is: Do we master technology or does technology master us?”
 2. “What we ought to do is raise the thresholds against things that are not the priority… And then the other thing is lower the threshold for things that are your priorities."
 3. “Focal practice is just helping us reclaim things that we knew or did before and helping us prioritize them, helping us have a different perspective on them.”
 4. “Compassion is the way forward. It doesn’t help to school people who are struggling with these things—but to listen to them with patience and kindness and compassion can, in fact, make a difference.”
 5. “Focal practices are about getting away from just acting automatically. That’s how I was raised: If you act automatically, it’s right. You’re justified… I’ve had to unlearn that.”
 6. “It means a willingness to live with ambiguity and to live with pain and to live with things that aren’t resolved and hold there—that’s a hard learning.”

Key Takeaways

Focal Practices Are More Than Habits. 1. Focal practices aren’t just routines—they’re meaningful rhythms that require intentionality, foster connection, and reorient us to what matters most.
Technology Calls For Discernment. 2. Technology isn’t going anywhere—but the way we engage with it should be thoughtful. The key to balance? Honest conversations in community.
We Need Yellow Lights. 3. In a culture of nonstop green lights (and plenty of red-light alarmism), we need more yellow lights—space to pause, reflect, and consider what’s truly right for the moment.
Brake Your Enthusiasm. 4. Eager to dive headfirst into focal practices? That’s your cue to slow down. Start small, stay consistent, and let the benefits build over time.
An Unexpected Path to Healing. 5. Focal practices don’t just bring focus—they can bring healing. By creating spaces of safety, embodiment, and rhythm, they can support recovery from trauma and help us move toward greater wholeness.

ARTHUR BOERS: A Path Back to What Matters

What if your health breakthrough doesn’t start in the gym or the kitchen—but in your mind?

In this powerful conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Josh Axe to explore why so many people feel stuck in cycles of stress, illness, or plateau—and how to shift toward real, lasting wellness. Drawing from his background in functional medicine and personal experience with a life-altering spinal infection, Dr. Axe shares the most overlooked key to healing and how you can start applying it today.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “The number one determining factor of longevity for you is having strong relationships.”
 2. “If you wake up first thing in the morning and get outside, it’s one of the single greatest things you can do for longevity and your microbiome.”
 3. “This is all about training your nervous system and encouraging your body that ‘This is going to happen.’”
 4. “There’s a lot of people that win at all costs, but they never end up winning. We hear all the stories. They’re never truly winning.”

Key Takeaways

The Biology of Belief. 1. What you believe about your body impacts everything from gut function to recovery speed. Healing starts with mindset.
The Root of the Issue. 2. Many chronic health challenges are driven by unresolved trauma—and show up in unexpected places like digestion and fatigue.
The Power of Visualization. 3. Mentally rehearsing health and healing isn’t “woo-woo”—it’s neuroscience.
Top Four Longevity Habits. 4. Hear from an expert what four rituals can add years to your life.

JOSH AXE: The Hidden Root of Healing

What is a calling? How does it shape our work and life? What’s the hidden cost of pursuing it (and what can we do about it)? In this engaging, high-energy conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Arianna Molloy—calling researcher, author, and professor—to unpack the power and pitfalls of purpose-driven work.

Arianna reveals the four key elements of a true calling, practical safeguards to prevent burnout, and three concrete shifts anyone in any field can make to start experiencing a greater sense of purpose and meaning at work. She also explains why humility—not just passion—is the key to sustainable success. If you’ve ever struggled to balance meaningful work with a healthy life, this episode is a must-listen.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “Burnout from a calling isn’t just, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.’ It’s, ‘I don’t know 
who I am 2. anymore.’”
 3. “To learn how to rest well, to learn how to have good boundaries actually protects that healthy sense of your calling.”
 4. “It is so important that work is not all that you have and all that you are because, guess what? At the end of the day, [your work] is going to change and shift… If we hold that with a closed hand, it’s not going to go well.”
 5. “[Calling is] really relational. It’s a relationship with yourself, the caller, and it’s a relationship with the community that you impact.”
 6. “Most of the time, [calling] happens upon reflection… In the moment, it’s not so obvious. This subtle sense of peace, or just a feeling like, ‘I think this is right.’”
 7. “We don’t honor that need and importance of play as much as we could.”
 8. “The lynchpin is humility. Part of humility is the willingness to learn more, to know that you don’t know everything and that is not a threat—it’s actually exciting.”

Key Takeaways

The Bright and Dark Sides of Calling. • A strong sense of purpose can fuel motivation, but without boundaries, it can also lead to burnout and identity loss.
The Four Elements of a True Calling. • Calling isn’t just about passion—it requires meaning, an identified caller, skill development, and a connection to community.
How to Reframe Your Work. • Even if your current job doesn’t feel like a calling, 
job crafting • —adjusting your tasks, relationships, or mindset—can create a deeper sense of meaning.
The Role (and Definition) of Humility. • True calling requires both confidence in your strengths and an openness to growth and makes it possible to step away from work without guilt.
The Power of Rest. • Sustainable success isn’t just about doing more—it’s about recognizing your limits and practicing the right kind of rest to restore energy and creativity.

In this episode, The Double Win Show welcomes Bryan and Shannon Miles, co-founders of Belay and the nonprofit O’nr, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a thriving business without losing yourself in the process.

From hiring their first virtual assistant in 2011 (who later became CEO!) to navigating the emotional weight of selling a business, Bryan and Shannon share their hard-won lessons on leadership, transitions, and making decisions that align with your values.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “Here’s the magic phrase: ‘In order to be faithful to my existing commitments, I have to say no.’”
 2. “I am responsible for myself and my leadership. And I know that if I extend myself too far, I’m not the best version of who I want to be.”
 3. “If I’m saying yes to everything and I’m overcommitting and my schedule is absolutely full, there’s no space for creativity. There’s no space for dreaming. There’s no space for new ideas or realizations.”
 4. “A lot of business owners are lonely, actually isolated.”
 5. “As leaders, part of our job is just kind of to help people settle and know they’re safe.”
 6. “Stewardship is just simply managing something for a season of time… While we’re there with our employees and leaders, we’re stewarding our relationships with them.”

Key Takeaways

The Loneliness of Leadership. 1. If you’re feeling isolated as a business owner, there’s good news: You’re not the only one.
The Skill of Saying No. 2. Implement this mental shift to help you stop overcommitting 
without 3. the guilt.

BRYAN & SHANNON MILES: Leading Through Change and Loneliness

Andrew shares how ancient wisdom, backed by modern science, reveals the core virtues that drive success—and how anyone can develop them. If you’ve ever wondered where to start when it comes to personal growth, this episode is your answer.

Memorable Quotes

 3. “Vitrues are specific habits of excellence.”
 4. “Every [virtue] all of us have inside us. They just need to be activated… by practicing them.”
 5. “There’s a freedom that comes from growing in self-discipline, because instead of being a prey to whatever desire that you have, you’re in charge.”
 6. “For an adult who’s looking at harmless social media, the problem is you are wasting your desire to know on stuff that is not going to help you.”

Key Takeaways

The Four Pillars of Success. 1. Prudence, justice, courage, and self-discipline form the foundation of a flourishing life, shaping how we think, act, and grow.
The “Which Habit?” Problem. 2. Most habit books focus on how to build habits, but the real challenge is knowing which habits will lead to lasting success.
The Power of Restraint. 3. Simple acts of restraint—like pausing before reacting or delaying instant gratification—build your 
no 4. muscle for the other areas of life.
The Role of Leisure. 5. True rest isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about engaging in activities that refresh the mind and restore creativity.

ANDREW ABELA: The Habits That Change Everything

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael and Megan sit down with bestselling author Jay Papasan to talk about the secret to extraordinary success: focus. Jay unpacks why most people struggle with distraction, how to create an environment for deep work, and why small, consistent actions lead to massive results over time.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “Our focus muscle depends on how long we’ve been using it and how much distraction we have to deal with every day.”
 2. “If it’s important enough, it belongs on my calendar.”
 3. “When you get really good at your one thing, you don’t just get many results. Your impact gets larger and larger over time.”
 4. “Extraordinary starts this way: It starts small and it grows so much faster than we can imagine.”
 5. “There’s two groups of people in life: doers who don’t have space to dream and dreamers who don’t have space to do.”
 6. “It creates anxiety and fear because it matters. We don’t want to fail at the things that matter most to us.”
 7. “Our culture rewards busy people who move fast and get things done.”
 8. “It should always be situational. When do we need to be fast? When do we need to be slow?”
 9. “If you’re going to do something extraordinary, it’s not going to be because you did millions of things. It’s going to be because you did that thing and the handful of things that matter around it extraordinarily well.”
 10. “Everything in life that matters happens pretty slowly.”

The Domino Effect: 2. The science behind tiny actions that lead to exponential growth

JAY PAPASAN: One Question to Upgrade Your Life

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller chat with Rich Litvin, bestselling author of The Prosperous Coach and sought-after leadership coach. Rich unpacks how leaders can embrace self-awareness, tackle work addiction, and redefine success by asking one simple but life-changing question: “What do you want?”

Memorable Quotes

 1. “Most of success is actually about mining your past.”
 2. “No one really remembers a comfortable life.”
 3. “My favorite coaching question is the simplest one. It’s: What do you want? Especially if you’re really good at helping other people, it’s actually really hard to answer for yourself.”
 4. “The most underrated skill in leadership is self-awareness.”
 5. “The power of great coaching is that you can see things that others can’t see. And you’re bold enough to say what others won’t dare to say.”
 6. “I don’t need to be better at what they do than they are. They’re the best in the planet at what they do. I’m the one who’s bold enough to challenge their thinking.”
 7. “If your heart tells you to 
say this 8. to 
do this 9. , then you need to lean into that edge, even if it’s to start off by saying, ‘Hey, I feel a little bit nervous to say this.’”
 10. “If you’re addicted to alcohol, to drugs, to sex, to the internet, there’s all sorts of help you can get to support you. If you’re addicted to work, everything is set up to support you in doing more of it.”
 11. “You need things that nurture your spirit. And as much as doing work that you love can feel great, it doesn’t always nurture your soul.”
 12. “We’re not stronger than that algorithm. We can’t be. So we need ways to support.”

Key Takeaways

Ask “What Do You Want?” 1. This simple yet powerful question unlocks clarity and reveals what truly matters.
Self-Awareness Fuels Success. 2. Great leaders reflect on their actions and embrace honest feedback to grow.
Energy Drives Achievement. 3. Identify what energizes or drains you to create more capacity for meaningful work.
Growth Comes From Discomfort. 4. The most fulfilling moments come when you step outside your comfort zone.
Presence Nourishes the Soul. 5. Activities like walking, reading, or connecting with loved ones demand your full attention and lead to greater fulfillment.
