Defining yourself through the power of I AM Don’t ’change’ your life, ’choose’ your life!

Ask yourself, as an entrepreneur: What are you chasing? What future self are you running after? What part of you are you trying to escape? And who are you desperately trying to become… that makes you believe you aren’t already enough?
Before you take another step, pause and sit with that. Because the answer to those questions reveals whether you’re building from identity… or running from it.
Forget about the financial...
So you are an entrepreneur, you have a vision, a dream, a wild idea. You are the one who wants to move the world. Then you are all of us entrepreneurs. You are addicted to challenging life, addicted to finding the right formula for success. But here is a truth that I found, entrepreneurs aren’t addicted to information, they’re addicted to the feeling of becoming someone new because they don’t trust who they currently are.
Escape f...
Beneath the fear, beneath the conditioning, beneath the survival identity, beneath the masks you learned to wear to be accepted, beneath the quiet ways you’ve abandoned yourself just to fit in, there is a self that has never wavered. Never weakened. Never disappeared.
This self has watched you struggle. Watched you doubt. Watched you shrink. Watched you forget.
And yet, it never left you.
This self is The Great One.

Have you ever felt invisible? Like no matter how hard you try, people just don’t really see who you truly are.
They don’t see your passion, your heart, your soul.
You show up. You work hard. You give your best. And yet, it feels like your presence slips through the cracks.
That feeling, that quiet ache of not being seen, not being having your greatness witnessed, isn’t because the world is ignoring you. It’s because you a...
Have you ever felt like no matter how much progress you make… you end up back in the same place? Like some invisible hand keeps pulling you toward a version of yourself you thought you outgrew? Or like you’ve been following a plan for your life — but deep down, you know it’s not yours?
You think the noise is out there, social media, opinions, politics, the world moving too fast.
But what if the noise isn’t out there at all?
What if the noise… is you?
Let me ask you something. When you feel something — anger, sadness, peace, or joy — who’s really in control?
Most people believe emotions happen to them. That they’re trapped inside whatever they feel. But the truth is… you’re not your emotions. You’re their architect.
Imagine this, you have just been told you have 24 hours to live. No extensions. No negotiations. The clock is ticking. Suddenly, everything you thought you’d do ‘someday’ disappears. The self you were waiting to ‘change' into is gone and you only have right now.
"The future is an illusion until it arrives, and when the future arrives, you will still only be able to live it today, not tomorrow. You see, 'Change' wants you to wait for the future, 'Change' doesn't believe in now. But 'Choosing' gives you the power to live your future today."
Life is not about what you want to change or where you hope to be, life is about the decision sitting in front of you right now. And the reason this matters is because every time you avoid a choice, you’re wiring your brain to stay stuck. What Choice are you avoiding?
Here’s the truth you may not want to hear: The pain you bear often comes from the change you seek. Why? Because change always puts you in waiting. It says, “When I finally change, then I’ll be who I want to be.” But waiting keeps you stuck in the very pain you want to escape.
For generations, we’ve been told the same story: You must change your life in order to advance. Change your habits. Change your mindset. Change your circumstances.
But here’s the truth: change has always been a lie.
When you 'Choose' you are commanding a now. When you attempt to 'Change' you command a tomorrow.
We call things ‘habits’ like they’re harmless routines; brushing your teeth, scrolling your phone, always running late. But the truth is this: a habit is not just behavior. A habit is a command. A survival mechanism your identity uses to keep itself alive.
We’ve all heard it. Someone says, “This is going to change my life.”
And every time, I cringe.
Because I know what’s about to happen.
You’re not cursed. You’re not stuck. Life isn’t against you—it’s reflecting you. In this episode, I break down how your identity—your “I AM”—shapes your experiences. The patterns you keep running into aren’t punishment... they’re feedback. Once you stop trying to change your life and start choosing who you are, everything shifts. Let’s explore how to reclaim your power—no change required.
Think about this
When are you living? Yesterday, Now or tomorrow?
Which one of these do you have control over?
Which one of these holds you back?
"Now" refers to the present moment—the point in time that is happening right at this instant. It’s the only moment you can truly experience and act upon because the past is already gone, and the future hasn’t arrived. You can control now.
Why are you always angry at everything, or, conversely, why are you always positive and happy? The body, in essence, becomes the mind, the triggering chemicals produced in the body are orchestrated by your thoughts. What you think triggers specific neural and hormonal responses, leading the body to manufacture chemicals that align with and reinforce those thoughts. This means your beliefs and mental focus shape your emotional state...
Just for a moment have you tried to change and been absolutely frustrated?
Just for a moment have you ever thought that personal change was a futile attempt?
Just for a moment have you ever thought that we are not meant to change..but meant to BE?
Today, we're diving deep into a topic that has shaped societies throughout history:
Government Leadership and the control of….'Choices.'
Governments and leadership already know that the power is in not controlling the idea of 'Change' but in the power of controlling 'Choices.'

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
