Summary

One idea can change your entire life when you finally decide to stop living small In this mashup episode, I brought together four people whose stories shook me to my core and reminded me what every one of us is capable of when life hits us with pain, loss, confusion, and impossible choices. You are going to hear the kind of honesty, courage, and transformation that forces you to rethink how you show up every single day. Anne Beiler, Bob Menery, John O’Leary, and Maria Menounos each faced moments that could have destroyed them, yet every one of them chose to rise in a way that turned their deepest wounds into power. Anne Beiler takes us into the truth of her life with a level of vulnerability that will leave you breathless. She opens her heart about grief, trauma, and the devastating silence she carried for years. But she also reveals how one courageous decision to step into the light set her free and allowed her pain to become a mission that has changed millions of lives. Her reminder is simple but profound. Life is hard. God is good. And your choices today shape the life you live tomorrow. Bob Menery shares one of the rawest comebacks I have ever heard. From addiction, homelessness, and believing his life had completely collapsed, to a moment that went viral and shifted everything. His story is a reminder that even in your lowest valley, your gifts do not disappear. You just have to fight long enough to give them the chance to shine. Bob proves that your breaking point can become the doorway to your breakthrough. Maria Menounos brings incredible clarity and wisdom after facing a life threatening tumor and the kind of fear most people never speak about. She talks about listening to the quiet voice within, choosing a calmer life, protecting your peace, and redefining what truly matters. Her transformation is a masterclass in living with intention, love, and gratitude. And her courage will challenge you to stop sleepwalking through your life and start living on purpose. And then there is John O’Leary. His story is one of the most powerful ever told on this show. As a nine-year-old boy burned on nearly his entire body, he should not have survived. But he lived because ordinary people made extraordinary choices. His brother who refused to give up. His father whose unconditional love gave him identity. His mother who refused to let him live as a victim. John learned that life is not about what happens to you. It is about the meaning you attach and the decision you make to keep fighting. His story will remind you that you were not born to whisper into eternity. You were born to roar. Every one of these conversations points back to the same truth. Your life is an echo of the choices you make. The harvest always comes. And the greatness inside you is waiting for you to stop running from your story and start using it to change someone else’s. Key Takeaways Why your choices today are creating the life you will live tomorrow How revealing your truth can free you from years of shame and pain The moment that turned Bob Menery’s entire life around How to protect your peace before life forces you to The power of ordinary people choosing to be extraordinary Why your scars can become your greatest source of impact How to shift from victim to victor by changing the meaning of your pain The idea of the life echo and why the harvest always arrives when you stay consistent ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 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	This is the Edmiler Show.
0:07.0	Hey everyone, welcome to my weekend special. I hope you enjoy the show. Be sure to follow the Edmyshow on Apple and Spotify.
0:16.0	Links are in the show notes. You'll never miss an episode that way. Now on with the show. Welcome back, everybody. I'm Ed Milette. Today we're going to talk about the echo of life, or the echoes in life. And what I mean by that is you know that when you hear an echo, you've said something, but there's a delayed response until you hear it coming back at you, and then you experience the result. And that's how life works.
0:38.3	See, today, one of the reasons so many people are confused about their lack of success
0:42.3	is because we live in a very immediate gratification type society,
0:46.3	meaning people expect results to happen instantaneously because we can get access to information
0:51.3	instantaneously.
0:52.3	We can get on social media, we can get music, we can get a movie, we can get a Google search, we can get a book, we can get anything we want instantaneously. But what you can't get instantaneously is success in life. And we've been raised in a generation now, many of us, even older guys like me, we're programmed to get things right now. And this hurts us in life because we don't realize
1:11.7	the echoes of life. See, for me, for example, when I'm having a difficult time in my life in one
1:17.0	area and other, all I have to really do is look back 60 to 90 days and it's the behaviors I had
1:22.7	60 to 90 days ago that are causing the results I get negatively right now.
1:32.1	And so, for example, when I'm not really, you know, progressing in my career or in my financial situation, if I look back 60 to 90 days prior, I stopped reading the books,
1:37.1	listening to the audios, doing the things that grow my identity, and I pay the price 60
1:41.6	to 90 days later.
1:42.8	In my body, my body isn't looking like I want it to.
1:45.6	If I look back 60 to 90, 120 days, that's when my diet got weaker.
1:50.4	That's when my workouts weren't quite as intense as they were previously.
1:53.7	And I pay the price three to four months later.
1:56.4	This is true in every area of our life.
1:58.5	Our lives are almost like reading a newspaper today, but we're reading the headlines from 90 days ago. And so that's what confuses people. They see the external results of their life, but if you did, if you read the newspaper from 90 to 120 days ago, that's where the news was made, not today. And so in every area of your life, you've got it going right now. You've got to fuel the fire. If you've got your business going, your finances going, your relationship going, your faith going where you want it to. You have to continue to do the activities that got you here in the first place because 90 days from now, you're going to read today's news. That's how it works. If today's news is you stop telling the person you're with, you're loving them. If you stop dating them like you did in the beginning, you stop treating them a particular way, you're going to pay the price for it in 90 to 120 days. When you eat a piece of cake, you don't see the fat deposit the next day. There's a delay. And so what happens is we do these negative behaviors. And because we don't see an
2:50.9	instant pain or an instant consequence for it, we don't think the consequence is coming.
2:55.9	But the consequences always come. There's a delayed consequence for everything we do. And so today,
