Are you protecting the lead—or playing to win?
In this conversation, I sit down with my brother, Brendon Burchard, and we hit on something that every single one of us wrestles with at some point: how to reignite that competitive fire when it starts to flicker. Maybe you’ve achieved some success—you got that promotion, built a business, or hit a financial goal—and suddenly you realize, I’m playing not to lose instead of playing to win. That’s a dangerous place to be, and Brendon and I break down exactly why it happens and how to flip the switch back on.
We get real about what it means to measure up—not against others, but against your own capacity. That’s what separates those who keep rising from those who stall out. We talk about how greats like LeBron James keep their edge and how you can apply that same mindset. It’s not about the external competition anymore—it’s about expanding who you are and setting your own standard. And that, my friends, is where true fulfillment lives.
Brendon and I also share the practical steps that have kept us driven—like setting up new challenges on purpose, so you’re not just reacting to life but directing it. If you’re coasting right now, if you’ve been going through the motions, this episode will remind you to swing for the fences.
Key takeaways from this episode:
Why success can actually zap your drive—and how to get it back
The danger of playing not to lose instead of playing to win
How to shift from competing against others to competing against your own potential
The secret power of setting your own challenges to fuel your momentum
Why surrounding yourself with the right people can reignite your ambition
Let’s stop settling. Let’s take that big swing. Let’s chase those God-sized dreams together. Max out.
