Summary

What if the most important lesson of your year isn’t what you accomplished, but who you became along the way? In this special year end "Best of 2025" mashup, I’m bringing together some of the most powerful conversations from the past year to help you reflect, reset, and step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and conviction. These moments are not just highlights. They are reminders of what actually moves the needle when it comes to faith, discipline, purpose, and becoming the best version of yourself. You’ll hear from the late Judge Frank Caprio, whose wisdom and compassion remind us that character always matters more than circumstance, and from Marcus Stanley, who breaks down what it really takes to build wealth without losing your values or your soul. These conversations hit at the heart of leadership, responsibility, and what it means to win the right way. I also bring you insights from Kim Perell and Brendon Burchard, two people who understand momentum at the highest level. Kim shares the mindset shifts required to scale ideas into impact, while Brendon delivers timeless truths about consistency, energy, and showing up every day when motivation fades. This is about discipline over hype and alignment over shortcuts. You’ll also hear powerful reflections from Sahil Bloom and Humble The Poet, who challenge the way we think about time, success, and inner peace. These conversations slow you down just enough to ask better questions about your life, your priorities, and who you are becoming when no one is watching. That awareness is often the missing piece between wanting more and actually living more. As we close out the year, I want this episode to serve as both a mirror and a compass. A mirror to reflect on what 2025 taught you, and a compass to help you move forward with intention. If you listen closely, you’ll hear one common thread throughout every conversation. The people who win long term are the ones who decide who they are going to be before life decides for them. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Why character and compassion are non negotiables for lasting success How to build wealth and impact without compromising your values The disciplines that separate high performers from everyone else Why clarity about time and priorities changes everything How self awareness becomes the foundation for peace and fulfillment What it really means to finish a year stronger than you started it If you’re ready to close this year with gratitude and step into the next one with purpose, this episode is for you. ⁠⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	He's 88 years old. You all know who he is. Immediately you'll recognize his voice. If you're on
0:04.7	YouTube, you'll recognize his face. I consider him a kindness broker, a kindness broker.
0:12.0	And somebody that if you just watched him, I think you just live better if you emulated many of the
0:16.9	things that he does in his life. This is the great Judge Frank Caprio joining us today. Judge Frank, thank you for being here today. It's an honor to have you. Well, thank you for the opportunity. You said, you know, the way you grew up, you're poor. And you actually called that a privilege. Do you really mean that? And if you do mean it, what was the privilege of being poor?
0:38.3	It's true. I did have the privilege of being broader poor because I appreciated, because of my upbringing with both parents, you know, who are immigrants, the fabric of America and the riches that we have here, not so much in money, but in what we're entitled to, and how we're treated it.
0:59.2	And my father constantly preached that about what a great country this was, and that we had an opportunity.
1:07.0	And I can remember, you know, just simple little things that he, when I was 10 years old, he said to me,
1:12.5	someday you're going to be a lawyer. And it was like an edict, you know, from above.
1:17.8	I never wanted to be anything else but a lawyer from the time I was 10 years old.
1:23.1	How did you, or did you keep this outlook that people are good in general and that we should treat them well?
1:30.2	I was very fortunate that it wasn't only my father, it was my mother as well.
1:34.5	You know, my mother was known in the neighborhood for feeding people that were hungry.
1:40.1	If you were hungry, come to my house, don't worry, you get a nice meal.
1:43.4	And it was always like, let's help other people. But I was saying that. But anyone that wasn't in the stress was stopped by our house, and they were helped. My father, one of his jobs was he was a milkman. He'd wake my brother and I up at 4 in the morning. He'd go to
2:01.1	work on the truck. Oh, yeah. If you don't want to do this the rest of your life, make sure you
2:05.5	stay in school. But I learned something from that. If someone could not pay their milk bill,
2:12.1	the company had a policy that after three weeks you stopped delivery. That was their policy. His
2:17.2	policy was if If they had
2:19.2	children, he would never stop the milk. He didn't care what the property policy was. And many times
2:24.3	he'd take money out of his own pocket and say they're making an effort to pay.
2:29.3	Oh, my gosh. So these were the examples that I saw, you know, by way of example, these weren't speeches that were given to me.
2:36.2	So it wasn't the situation. I was given a speech saying do A and my parents did B.
