Lifebuilder with Stephen Courson

In an era dominated by AI, social media filters, and digital deepfakes, authenticity is becoming the rarest—and most powerful—currency we have. In this episode of the LifeBuilder Podcast, host Stephen Courson sits down with neuroscientist and personal development expert Danita Young to explore the science of authenticity and how understanding the brain can help us unlock real personal growth.

Danita dives into the neuroscience behin...

We’ve been sold a lie.

That waiting is noble. That patience is passive. That if you just sit still long enough, life will eventually hand you what you want.

Wrong.

Waiting does not give you permission to do nothing.

In this episode, I break down why it’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. Because even when you're not “in the fight”… preparation is still the mission.

Think about it:

The Red Alert Diagnosis is a framework I created that we use in my coaching. I walk through the video of it on YouTube if you want to watch it. It is a systematic way for us to discover what is frustrating us in our personal or in our professional lives quickly and to determine what we can do about it that's within our direct power. Fear and frustration are useful because they let us know when there is risk or problems. The pr...

This isn't about fear-mongering or doomsday predictions. It's reality. It's my reality. I have put off having to make 2 different hires because of how I have been able to utilize AI in my business and in my life. This is a massive opportunity and its literally changing the landscape of how our world operates at incredible speed. I don't care if you're a lawyer, plumber, doctor or salesperson or own your own...

Its Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and no one cares. Seriously. There aren't any social media banners or flags being waved and we know this. Society has spent decades minimizing and in some cases, demonizing men and the things that make us strong. Our value has been boiled down to what we provide and that's wrong. My conversation with Dejuan and his realization of this and more through relationships and therapy ...

Stop believing society's lie that you have time...you don't. It seems harmless but its a poison pill designed to keep you productive and spend money on things that don't mean much to you. It blinds us to what we really want. That's why its so important we get clarity on what we want and why we want it. When you know what that is with certainty, you won't waste time. You won't chase money at the expense...

We talk about how health is the ultimate business booster and how you can make a business more profitable if you are brave enough to give up parts of it. We talk about the importance of putting yourself in the room where things happen and how to turn a digital product into a real life experience that your customers will love.

Life and work can get overwhelming with never-ending to-do lists. That's why making sure we choose to do the right things that move us to our intended outcome is so important. The people who lose are the ones who can't prioritize and delegate. They will forever be completing other people's lists instead of focusing on their own. This 3D hack will make you rich in time and money.

This is an unusual episode, but I want to start with THANK YOU. Many people reached out after noticing my absence from socials and the podcast. I had some serious gastric issues and am undergoing some tests to see if there's anything chronic. I'm back on my feet for the most part but I wanted to share some things I've learned from all of this.

But after making these 5 simple changes to my phone settings like customizing my Do Not Disturb, I ...

Sometimes, to go forward, we must first go inward. That's a lesson I learned the hard way in 2024 and it probably cost me about $120,000. This is why having dangerous conversations with ourselves is so important. We have to be honest with ourselves or we will find reasons to prevent us from growing and building the life we want. All it takes is some honesty and a simple truth about money to change your life.
