THE ED MYLETT SHOW

What If Your Next Shot… Your Next Sale… Your Next Decision… Is the One That Changes Everything?

Today I’ve got one of your all-time favorite guests back on the show, and there’s a reason the downloads go through the roof every time he’s here. When I sit down with Alan Stein Jr, you get value in every single minute. We’re talking about mindset, emotional control, confidence, intensity, and what it really takes to separate yourself from the pack. Alan’s new book, Next Play, isn’t just about sports. It’s about life. It’s about what you do after you miss the shot, lose the sale, get knocked down, or make a mistake you wish you could take back.

We unpack what Alan calls having a “whiteboard memory.” The great ones erase the miss and step into the next moment like it never happened. Think about that. How many of us drag the last mistake into the next opportunity? How many people let one bad quarter, one breakup, one failure define their identity? Alan and I talk about why attaching your self-worth to outcomes is a trap. Confidence is not built on results. It’s built on process, preparation, keeping the promises you make to yourself, and mastering the fundamentals. That’s where real separation happens.

We also dive into one of the most powerful lessons I’ve ever heard about excellence. Alan shares the story of working with Kobe Bryant at 3:30 in the morning. Not flashy drills. Not tricks. Just relentless attention to the basics. Kobe told him, “I never get bored with the basics.” That line alone could change your life. The great ones do not skip steps. They do not get distracted by hype. They obsess over mastery. And they stack that obsession for years. That is how you create separation no one can catch.

But this episode is not just about performance. It’s about fulfillment. Alan challenges the idea that we should chase happiness. Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is built. It’s built through resilience, emotional regulation, accountability, and learning how to move to the next play without becoming a victim of the last one. We talk about parenting, leadership, business, relationships, and what to do when you’re flat on the canvas and need a way forward. If you’re in a season where you need a reset, this conversation is your blueprint.

I’ll tell you this. The most powerful thing Alan said today is that your next play can be your best play. Not because the last one was perfect, but because you learned from it. Your mistakes are not your identity. They are part of your collage. And if you’re willing to forgive yourself, adjust, and step forward with intention, your next 50 years can be your best 50 years.

This one will hit you right between the eyes in the best way possible.

Key Takeaways:


Why you must separate your emotions from your performance


How to build confidence through process instead of outcomes


The power of mastering the basics and stacking consistency over time


What to do when you’ve failed and need to create your next play


Why fulfillment beats chasing happiness every time


How accountability and emotional regulation shape leaders and families

If you’re ready to stop replaying the last mistake and start attacking the next opportunity, this episode is for you.

Let’s go make your next play your best one.

What if the only thing standing between you and your next level is the story you keep telling yourself about not being good enough?

In this mashup, I bring together some of the toughest, most battle tested men and women I know to talk about something almost nobody wants to admit. That quiet voice that says you do not belong here. That you are not ready. That you are going to get exposed. You are going to hear from Michael Chandler, Damar Hamlin, Fallon Taylor, Andre Ward, Michael Chandler, Jason Wilson, and Dean Graziosi as they open up about imposter syndrome, doubt, setbacks, and the defining decision to rise anyway.

Michael Chandler talks about the thermometer in your life and how many of us unconsciously cool ourselves down when success starts heating up. He shares how a little bit of imposter syndrome can keep you humble and hungry, but how letting it dominate your thinking will sabotage everything. Andre Ward breaks down what it really means to absorb a punch and still throw one back. Not just in the ring, but in life. Fallon Taylor and Damar Hamlin remind us that sometimes you do not find your strength until you are forced to confront your fragility. Jason Wilson speaks powerfully about identity and manhood, and what it takes to believe you are worthy of the stage you are standing on. Dean Graziosi brings it home with the truth that you cannot give away what you have not built within yourself first.

One of the biggest themes in this episode is preparation. Confidence is not something you wish for. It is something you earn. When you prepare at a level that most people are unwilling to, you begin to silence that voice that says you do not belong. The separator in life is not talent. It is the ability to take a hit, keep your composure, and keep moving forward without obsessing over what everyone else thinks.

You are going to hear story after story of people who did not feel ready, did not feel qualified, did not feel worthy, but chose to act anyway. They did not wait for the doubt to disappear. They built a new self concept through action, discipline, faith, and relentless preparation. That is how you close the gap between who you are today and who you are capable of becoming.

If you have ever questioned whether you belong in the room, whether you are capable of the dream in your heart, this episode is for you. You were not born average. You were not born to sit on the sidelines of your own life. You were born to max it out. And the moment you decide you are worthy of the stage is the moment everything begins to change.

Key Takeaways


Why a small amount of imposter syndrome can fuel growth, but letting it dominate will cap your potential


How preparation builds real confidence that no critic can take away


The true separator in life is the ability to absorb a punch and keep throwing


Why your self concept determines the temperature of your success

What If Self-Confidence Isn’t the Answer and Self-Trust Is What You’ve Been Missing?

Most people think the opposite of self-doubt is confidence. In this conversation, Dr. Shadé Zahrai completely flips that belief on its head. She is a behavioral researcher, bestselling author of Big Trust, and one of the most insightful minds I’ve ever sat down with when it comes to understanding why high performers still struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and that constant feeling of not being enough. I’ll be honest, her work challenged some of the things I’ve taught for years, and that’s exactly why this episode matters.

We dive deep into why waiting to feel confident is keeping so many people stuck and why self-trust always has to come first. Dr. Zahrai breaks down the four core attributes that shape how we experience doubt, including acceptance, agency, autonomy, and emotional adaptability. She explains why doubt isn’t something to eliminate, but something to rise above by strengthening who you are underneath it. If you’ve ever felt like an anxious overachiever who keeps pushing but never quite feels settled, you’re going to feel seen in this conversation.

One of the most powerful parts of this episode is how expectation bias quietly shapes your reality. Dr. Zahrai shares fascinating research that shows how the scars you believe you’re carrying can completely change how you experience conversations, relationships, and opportunities, even when those scars are not real. We also talk about why validation from achievement, praise, or external approval is one of the most dangerous traps high performers fall into and why it leaves so many successful people feeling empty.

We also get extremely practical. Dr. Zahrai walks through tools that actually work, including how to stop obsessing over outcomes, how to quiet the inner critical voices that sabotage momentum, and why self-forgetting through service is one of the fastest ways to restore confidence. I also share a technique from her book that has already changed how I deal with worry, and if you’re someone who struggles with anxiety or rumination, this alone is worth listening to the episode.

This conversation is not surface-level motivation. It’s real inner work. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you know you’re capable of becoming, this episode will give you a framework to rebuild trust in yourself and move forward with clarity and peace.

Key Takeaways


Why self-trust always comes before confidence and action


The four core attributes that protect you from self-doubt


How expectation bias shapes your relationships and results


Why obsession with outcomes erodes self-belief


A simple daily practice to reduce worry and overthinking


How to quiet your inner critic without forcing fake positivity

Listen now, and start building the kind of trust in yourself that no setback can take away.

What happens when winning stops feeling like enough and achievement quietly turns into a trap?

In this mashup episode, I want to talk about something I see all the time with high performers. People who are doing well on the outside but feel empty, restless, or disconnected on the inside. This conversation is about escaping the achievement trap and redefining success in a way that actually brings peace, fulfillment, and joy.

I sit down with LeAnn Rimes to unpack what it looks like to grow up chasing validation and applause, only to realize later that external success cannot heal internal wounds. LeAnn opens up about the emotional cost of performing for approval, the courage it takes to slow down, and how self awareness and self compassion became the real breakthroughs in her life. Her honesty is powerful and it speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt pressure to keep proving themselves.

I also bring in Rob Dyrdek, who shares how redefining his definition of winning changed everything. Rob talks about shifting from grinding nonstop to building a life by design, where happiness, relationships, and impact matter just as much as productivity. This is a masterclass in intentional living and understanding that fulfillment is not found in the next milestone, but in alignment with who you really are.

Throughout this mashup, I break down the mindset shifts that help you move from chasing achievements to creating meaning. We talk about why so many driven people feel unfulfilled, how comparison fuels the trap, and what it actually takes to feel proud of your life, not just your resume. If you have ever thought, I should feel happier than this by now, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:


Why constant achievement can quietly disconnect you from fulfillment


How external validation creates pressure instead of peace


The mindset shift from proving yourself to accepting yourself


How to redefine success in a way that supports happiness and relationships


Why slowing down can actually accelerate clarity and purpose

This is about learning to win without losing yourself. It is about success that feels good to live with, not just impressive to look at. My hope is that this episode gives you permission to redefine the game and start playing it in a way that truly serves you.

What if the pain you’re fighting isn’t coming from your body at all, but from patterns wired deep inside your brain?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down once again with one of the most impactful thinkers I know, Dr. Daniel Amen, to unpack a truth that changed how I see stress, pain, trauma, and healing. This is his fourth time on the show, and there’s a reason you keep asking for him. Dr. Amen has helped millions of people understand their brains better, including me, and his newest work hit me harder than any book he’s written before.

We go deep into the idea that pain is not just a signal from your body, but a story your brain is telling. Whether it shows up as back pain, anxiety, depression, or chronic stress, the root often lives in specific brain circuits that get hijacked by trauma, unresolved emotion, inflammation, and unhealthy habits. I open up about my own childhood, the stress patterns I still carry, and how those experiences changed my brain in ways I never fully understood until now.

Dr. Amen breaks down the pain HQ loop and explains how emotional pain, physical pain, and even moral or spiritual pain can trap you in cycles of suffering that feel impossible to escape. We talk about adverse childhood experiences, why unresolved rage often turns into chronic pain, and how habits like poor sleep, diet, and suppressed emotions quietly flip genetic switches that impact not just you, but future generations.

But this conversation is not just about understanding the problem. It is about getting out. We walk through the healing loop and the exact tools that calm the brain, raise heart rate variability, and restore control over your nervous system. From diaphragmatic breathing and progressive relaxation to journaling, EMDR, hyperbaric oxygen, and nutritional support, this episode is packed with practical ways to take your power back.

If you have ever felt stuck in your body, your mind, or your emotions, this episode will change how you see yourself. The real question Dr. Amen leaves us with is simple and life-altering: Is what you’re doing right now good for your brain or bad for it? Answer that honestly, and everything starts to shift.

Key Takeaways:

Why pain is often created and amplified by brain circuits, not just physical injury

How childhood trauma and stress hijack the brain’s pain and suffering pathways

What the pain HQ loop is and how it keeps people stuck in chronic stress and pain

Simple daily practices that calm your nervous system and improve brain health

Why your habits today affect your children and grandchildren more than you think

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to listen to more than once and share with someone who’s been carrying pain they cannot explain. Get ready to see healing in a completely new way.
