If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not getting where you want to go, the missing link isn’t more hustle—it’s mastering the way you think. This episode is all about taking control of your mind so you can take control of your life. I sat down with Eric Thomas, Jenn Gottlieb, and Dr. James Doty—three extraordinary voices who have each mastered the art of aligning thoughts, actions, and beliefs to create extraordinary results. Eric Thomas, the “Hip Hop Preacher,” breaks down how to flip the switch from wishing for your dreams to working for them with unshakable discipline and clarity. Jenn Gottlieb shares her powerful strategies for overcoming self-doubt, showing up authentically, and creating opportunities through connection and confidence. And Dr. James Doty, a neurosurgeon and leading voice in compassion science, reveals the surprising neuroscience behind manifestation—and why gratitude and service are essential to creating real, lasting change. You’ll hear us unpack one of the greatest truths in life: you don’t get what you want—you get what you believe you deserve, what you expect, and what you’re willing to work for. This isn’t about “positive thinking” in the shallow sense. It’s about rewiring your brain to operate at a higher level so you can recognize opportunities, act on them, and keep moving forward even when fear shows up. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to start going after the life you’ve imagined—this is it. The tools are here. The science is here. The stories are here. Now it’s on you to apply them and become the person who makes your dreams inevitable. Key Takeaways: - Eric Thomas on turning desire into disciplined daily action - Jenn Gottlieb’s method for overcoming self-doubt and building magnetic confidence - Dr. James Doty on the neuroscience of manifestation and why compassion amplifies results - How your brain filters opportunities based on what you expect to find - Why consistent gratitude changes your physiology and your focus - The difference between wishing for success and wiring yourself for it - How to recognize and dismantle the mental barriers holding you back - Practical steps to train your brain for the life you truly want This is more than a conversation—it’s a blueprint for changing your life from the inside out.

0:00.0	This is the Edmiler Show.
0:08.7	Hey everyone, welcome to my weekend special. I hope you enjoy the show. Be sure to follow the Edmilette
0:13.4	show on Apple and Spotify. Links are in the show notes. You'll never miss an episode that way.
0:18.6	Dr. James Doty, thank you for coming here today, Dr. Doty, and welcome to the show.
0:22.6	I'd like if you would just for a second, just because I think it's so practical and real, and it's in the book. And by the way, you guys, this book is so thick with so many different things in it. We could do a four-hour podcast and you should still go get the book because the few things that we'll be able to cover on today's show don't do the book justice.
0:37.8	But I learned a lot and I actually wrote down the process that Ruth took you through for my own benefit.
0:45.0	And so would you mind at least kind of going over some of that process for everybody?
0:48.8	Because candidly, for me, I sat in this room yesterday and I wrote out that process for myself to use to calm myself down even at this age.
0:57.3	So would you share some of that, please?
1:00.0	Are you talking about taming the heart or opening the heart and taming the mind and relaxing the body?
1:06.6	Yes, particularly the relaxing the body part is what resonated with me.
1:10.5	Yeah, well, people who grow up in these challenging environments, again, it's like your goldfish in a fish bowl, but the water's dirty.
1:20.4	And if that's all you've lived in, you have no idea that the way you're feeling or acting or how you're responding to the world actually is not
1:29.6	beneficial for you. And like so many veterans who've been in the war zone, they not only have
1:37.4	trauma from being in the war zone, but they have post-traumatic stress disorder. And so one of the
1:42.4	things you ultimately have to do is you have to emotionally
1:44.5	regulate. And this is because in these types of situations, your sympathetic nervous system,
1:53.0	your flight, fight, or freeze response is chronically activated. And you don't appreciate it,
1:57.8	but all of your muscles are tight, you're always looking around.
2:06.3	So the first thing she taught me was a traditional mindfulness practice of relaxing the body.
2:10.5	And literally, we went from the tip of the toes to the top of the head.
2:18.6	Now, I have to tell you, he's a 12-year-old, I had no self-awareness, and, you know, I was doing this.
