Bully the Bully: Why You Keep Getting Pushed Around in Life | S2S 516
You’re letting people with zero track record tell you how to run your life. And the wild part? Half of them couldn’t survive doing what YOU do for 24 hours.
In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, the guys break down the “Bully the Bully” mindset—why the world pushes you around if you don’t push back, why people in survival mode try to hijack what you’ve built, and why letting the wrong voices guide you is the fastest way back to the bottom.
ET, CJ, Karl, and Jemal unpack:
Why unqualified opinions keep you broke and stuck
The mentality difference between survivors and winners
Why you MUST protect what you’ve built
How the world “bullies” you financially if you’re not intentional
The exact mindset shift needed to take control of your life
This one is raw, hilarious, and heavy with truth—perfect for anyone tired of being pushed around by people who haven’t done the work.

Stop Chasing Happy: Build Serenity That Lasts | S2S 514
Whether your team is 1–5 or your home feels out of rhythm, this episode gives you the playbook: peace over moods, standards over scoreboard, purpose over procrastination.

Serenity beats Happiness: why chasing “happy” keeps you stuck, and how to build steady peace you can stand on.
Standards beat feelings: the non-negotiables that fix performance at work, at home, and on the field.
The “fixer” trap: how to support your spouse without trying to control their journey.
Imperfectly mindful: simple daily awareness habits that create momentum.
From 1–5 to unstoppable: the mindset ET gives losing teams—and how to use it today.

What ET Told the Baltimore Ravens that Could Change Your Life | S2S 513
The week the Ravens were 1–5 and about to face Chicago, ET walked into Baltimore’s locker room with a message—not hype, a standard.
Jemal, a lifelong Bears fan, wants to know why ET had to deliver that talk right before they played his team.
That friendly smoke sets the tone as we unpack the exact principles ET shared: why contracts beat feelings, how identity sets standards, standards drive behavior, and behavior produces results—on the field and in your life. We trace the arc from a losing record to a winning mindset, then translate it into practical moves you can use this week: building simple systems that work when your mood doesn’t, protecting momentum, and committing to one non-negotiable that changes the scoreboard at work and at home. By the end, Jemal makes his Bears case, ET makes the case for standards over vibes, and you’ll leave with a clear “12–5” plan—one covenant, seven days, real traction.
If this hits, subscribe and share it with someone who needs a standard, not a speech. Drop “12–5” in the comments with the one rule you’re locking in this week, and we’ll read a few on the next episode.

From Supporter to Slayer—Become the One Who Hunts
Stop helping. Own the kill.

Karl’s real transition: supporter → slayer (ownership over approval)
“Move first, figure it out later” — how hunters build momentum
Family & legacy: why your people need you leading from the front
Real estate lessons (1031s, opportunity zones, scale thinking) you can model
Simple systems to keep hunting when motivation dips
🔥 Viewer Challenge (comment to commit)
Drop “I’m hunting” + the ONE action you’ll take in the next 24 hours. We’ll shout out a few next episode.
