With over 5 million books sold, including his latest The New Emotional Intelligence, Dr. Bradberry has spent decades studying how EQ shapes performance, relationships, and well-being.
In this conversation, we explore what emotional intelligence looks like in action: how it shows up in leadership under pressure, how it impacts the quality of your relationships, and what happens when it’s missing.
You’ll learn:
Tune in to hear Dr. Bradberry share practical strategies for building EQ in the modern world — and why doing so can unlock deeper trust, resilience, and clarity in every part of your life.

When it comes to high performance, whether you're leading a team, raising a family, pushing physical limits, or simply trying to be better today than you were yesterday, what you put in your body matters. And that's why I trust Momentus. From the moment I sat down with Jeff Byers, their co-founder and CEO, I could tell |
| 0:23.2 | this was not your average supplement company. And I was immediately drawn to their mission, |
| 0:28.0 | helping people achieve performance for life. And to do that, they developed what they call |
| 0:32.9 | the Momentus Standard. Every product is formulated with top experts. and every batch is third-party tested. |

| 0:46.4 | I'm anchored by what they call the momentous three, protein, creatine, and omega-3. And together, |
| 0:52.5 | these foundational nutrients support muscle recovery, brain |
| 0:55.1 | function, and long-term energy. They're part of my daily routine. And if you're ready to fuel your |
| 1:00.2 | brain and body with the best, Momentus has a great new offer just for our community right here. |

| 1:35.9 | happen. That is wild. Our brains are structured so that emotions are the primary driver of our |
| 1:41.1 | behavior. So if you understand what you're feeling, you can then |
| 1:44.8 | channel that feeling into producing the behavior that you want. What if the single biggest predictor |
| 1:49.7 | of your success as a partner, a leader, or even a parent, isn't your IQ, it's not your technical |
| 1:54.8 | skills, but it's your ability to work with emotions. Emotional intelligence in its simplest |
| 1:59.3 | form is understanding what you're feeling, why you're feeling it, and using that to produce the kind of outcomes that you want in life.
