In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael sits down with Bogdan Micov, a Macedonian entrepreneur living in Bali, who has developed the Relentless Method—a groundbreaking approach to stress relief and emotional transformation. Bogdan’s method helps entrepreneurs and leaders eliminate negative emotions and limiting beliefs in days rather than years, breaking away from traditional coping strategies to create lasting internal change. Together, Michael and Bogdan explore the difference between managing stress and transforming it. They discuss why focusing on decisions instead of beliefs gives people more flexibility and control, allowing for faster breakthroughs. Bogdan explains how understanding the motivations behind pain-avoidance versus pleasure-seeking behaviors can help align decisions with one’s true values. The conversation also dives into the importance of proactive decision-making and personal responsibility. By embracing the law of cause and effect, Bogdan encourages listeners to move away from the victim mindset and take ownership of their outcomes. Michael and Bogdan highlight how shifting from reactive stress responses to empowered thinking can transform not only performance but overall well-being. Bogdan shares his inspiring personal story of leaving a corporate career and recovering from a stroke at 33, using these challenges to cultivate joy and peace. The episode closes with insights on living a fulfilled life, learning from hardship, and spreading messages of growth, purpose, and happiness.
