When Gene Simmons tells me about surviving concentration camps through his mother's courage, I realize this isn't just another rock star story—it's an American dream forged in fire. The KISS frontman takes me on a journey from a Hungarian refugee who couldn't speak English to building one of the most recognizable brands on earth, more famous than Mount Rushmore itself. What strikes me most is his raw honesty about the price of success, from decades of reckless behavior to finally learning commitment at 62, and his mother's fearless escape to America that taught him the work ethic that built an empire. This conversation reveals how an outsider's perspective, unshakeable self-belief, and relentless pursuit of excellence transformed a poor immigrant kid into the demon who redefined what it means to be a rock star.

• The exact mindset shift that turned Gene from victim to victor in every situation
• Why Gene believes the hunt for greatness matters more than achieving it

Vulnerability becomes the pathway to abundance when I share my most personal transformation story during my Make Money Easy book tour keynote in New York. I break down the walls between my deepest childhood wounds - sexual abuse at five, my brother's imprisonment, and the crushing poverty that forced me to scrounge for loose change just to buy friendship - and my journey to understanding that true wealth isn't just about money in the bank. Through raw storytelling about living on my sister's couch while battling fears of public speaking, reading, and even salsa dancing, I reveal how I discovered the four distinct ways people live with money. This keynote will transform how you think about worthiness, belonging, and what it truly means to feel safe at home within yourself, especially for anyone who has ever felt "not enough" or struggled with the gap between external success and internal peace.

• The Greatness Mindset: Unlock the Power of Your Mind and Live Your Best Life Today
• The Mask of Masculinity: How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest Lives
• The School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a Legacy

In this episode you will learn:

• The four ways you live life around money and why having wealth without inner abundance becomes more dangerous than being broke
• How childhood wounds of abuse, abandonment, and unworthiness shape your money beliefs and sabotage your success
• Why overcoming your deepest fears - public speaking, writing, dancing - becomes the gateway to building unshakeable self-belief
• The difference between being financially broke but emotionally rich versus financially successful but spiritually bankrupt
• How your internal wounds get magnified when you gain success, and why Olympic gold medalists often fall into depression after achieving their dreams

Peak performance isn't built on talent alone - it's forged through relentless daily habits that most people aren't willing to embrace. I sat down with three absolute warriors who've cracked the code on human potential: Nick Bare, the former Army officer turned entrepreneur who built an empire through military-grade morning routines; David Goggins, the ultra-endurance legend who transformed from a 300-pound nobody into the world's toughest man; and Dr. Andrew Huberman, the Stanford neuroscientist revealing the biological secrets behind optimal performance and recovery. Each guest shared raw, unfiltered insights about the mental fortitude required to push past perceived limitations. Their stories prove that greatness isn't about where you start - it's about your willingness to do what others won't, day after day, until excellence becomes your identity.
