Summary

Your inner voice can be your greatest weapon—or your worst enemy. So… which one is yours? Psychologist and bestselling author Ethan Kross joins the boys to unpack the science of self-talk, emotional control, and mental resilience. Why do some people crack under pressure while others thrive? What separates high performers from those who let emotions run their lives? And most importantly, how can you take control of your mind before it controls you? Ethan takes Jer and Bri on a dive deep into his latest book SHIFT to unpack elite psychological strategies used by Navy SEALs, healthcare workers, and top performers to master their emotions. Learn how to shift your perspective, silence negative self-talk, and use your inner voice as a tool—not a weapon. You’re already talking to yourself. It’s time to start listening the right way.
