From regulating your nervous system to choosing connection over triumph, this episode is packed with practical, actionable tools you can use today.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “When you set out to win an argument, you often will lose the relationship. If you only see it as something to win, that means you’re going to lose a lot more.”
 2. “Who wants to be around the person who always has to be right? That is somebody who is lonely.”
 3. “Instead of seeing arguments as something to win, you see them as something to unravel.”
 4. “You don’t have to like it. You just gotta understand it.”
 5. “That’s the key with connection: I can disagree with you and still connect with you. I can still be unhappy, I can still be mad at you, and still connect with you.”
 6. “You are in complete control of the pace of the conversation.”
 7. “When you don’t say it with control, you end up reacting rather than responding. It’s just your natural fight or flight will take over and you’re going to start responding more emotionally.”
 8. “You gotta let them pour it all out before they’ll ever be willing to accept anything that you say.”

Key Takeaways

Arguments Aren’t Battles. 1. If your goal is to win, you’ve already lost. Reframe arguments as something to unravel, not conquer.
Start With Self-Control. 2. Nervous system regulation is the key to effective communication—especially when things get tense.
Use “Small Talks.” 3. Short, verb-based phrases like “be still” or “practice kindness” can center you in high-stakes conversations.
Connection > Agreement. 4. We don’t always have to be on the same page to cultivate a meaningful relationship.
Confidence Follows Action. 5. Speak with assertiveness, not apology. Confidence grows as you use your voice.

MEGAN HYATT MILLER: Embracing the Unconventional Path

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller interview Ian Morgan Cron, bestselling author, psychotherapist, and Episcopal priest. Ian shares insights from his new book, The Fix, offering a fresh perspective on how the 12 Steps can transform lives—even for those who don’t identify as addicts. This episode dives into universal human struggles, addressing how we numb pain, avoid truth, and search for solutions in all the wrong places.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “Trying to solve an inside problem with an outside solution doesn’t work.”
 2. “Human beings are always on the prowl for a fix, looking for something to distract or numb the big ache of what it means to be simply human.”
 3. “All human beings are fundamentally restless.”
 4. “The whole point of the 12-step program is to facilitate a spiritual awakening of sufficient force that it expels the need for external solutions to internal problems.”
 5. “Real happiness comes when you make memories in community.”
 6. “People get sick in secret. They get well together.”
 7. “The three most courageous words in the world are ‘I need help.’”
 8. “Powerlessness is a superpower. When you finally admit ‘I am powerless’ or ‘I do not have control over nearly as much of life as I think I do’ suddenly a great, great burden is lifted from your shoulders.”
 9. “Ultimately what we want for ourselves and the people we love most is freedom.”
 10. “All addicts are frustrated mystics.”
 11. “As I’ve kind of unraveled the codependency addiction that I had, I’ve realized that I have to just be okay with people not changing. I want them to change. I pray for them to change. But they have to want it.”
 12. “Your addiction is just a bad solution to a very real problem.”
 13. “The number one addiction? Playing God.”

Key Takeaways

The Big Ache 1. : Everyone carries a longing—an ache—for more. When unmet, it often leads to unhealthy patterns like workaholism, social media scrolling, or compulsive busyness.
A Plan for Transformation 2. : The 12 Steps offer a simple yet profound roadmap to freedom and flourishing, focusing on making peace with God, yourself, and others.
Addiction Looks Different for High Achievers 3. : Addiction isn’t always dramatic. For leaders and professionals, it might show up as perfectionism, control, or overworking.
Healing Happens in Community 4. : Isolation perpetuates pain; healing requires connection.
Surrender Leads to Freedom 5. : Admitting powerlessness isn’t failure—it’s the beginning of true transformation.

IAN MORGAN CRON: The Path to Flourishing—and Freedom

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller chat with Rich Litvin, bestselling author of The Prosperous Coach and sought-after leadership coach. Rich unpacks how leaders can embrace self-awareness, tackle work addiction, and redefine success by asking one simple but life-changing question: “What do you want?”

Memorable Quotes

 1. “Most of success is actually about mining your past.”
 2. “No one really remembers a comfortable life.”
 3. “My favorite coaching question is the simplest one. It’s: What do you want? Especially if you’re really good at helping other people, it’s actually really hard to answer for yourself.”
 4. “The most underrated skill in leadership is self-awareness.”
 5. “The power of great coaching is that you can see things that others can’t see. And you’re bold enough to say what others won’t dare to say.”
 6. “I don’t need to be better at what they do than they are. They’re the best in the planet at what they do. I’m the one who’s bold enough to challenge their thinking.”
 7. “If your heart tells you to 
say this 8. to 
do this 9. , then you need to lean into that edge, even if it’s to start off by saying, ‘Hey, I feel a little bit nervous to say this.’”
 10. “If you’re addicted to alcohol, to drugs, to sex, to the internet, there’s all sorts of help you can get to support you. If you’re addicted to work, everything is set up to support you in doing more of it.”
 11. “You need things that nurture your spirit. And as much as doing work that you love can feel great, it doesn’t always nurture your soul.”
 12. “We’re not stronger than that algorithm. We can’t be. So we need ways to support.”

Key Takeaways

Ask “What Do You Want?” 1. This simple yet powerful question unlocks clarity and reveals what truly matters.
Self-Awareness Fuels Success. 2. Great leaders reflect on their actions and embrace honest feedback to grow.
Energy Drives Achievement. 3. Identify what energizes or drains you to create more capacity for meaningful work.
Growth Comes From Discomfort. 4. The most fulfilling moments come when you step outside your comfort zone.

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael and Megan sit down with bestselling author Jay Papasan to talk about the secret to extraordinary success: focus.

Memorable Quotes

 5. “There’s two groups of people in life: doers who don’t have space to dream and dreamers who don’t have space to do.”
 6. “It creates anxiety and fear because it matters. We don’t want to fail at the things that matter most to us.”
 7. “Our culture rewards busy people who move fast and get things done.”
 8. “It should always be situational. When do we need to be fast? When do we need to be slow?”
 9. “If you’re going to do something extraordinary, it’s not going to be because you did millions of things. It’s going to be because you did that thing and the handful of things that matter around it extraordinarily well.”
 10. “Everything in life that matters happens pretty slowly.”

JAY PAPASAN: One Question to Upgrade Your Life

Andrew shares how ancient wisdom, backed by modern science, reveals the core virtues that drive success—and how anyone can develop them. If you’ve ever wondered where to start when it comes to personal growth, this episode is your answer.

 3. “Vitrues are specific habits of excellence.”

The “Which Habit?” Problem. 2. Most habit books focus on how to build habits, but the real challenge is knowing which habits will lead to lasting success.
The Power of Restraint. 3. Simple acts of restraint—like pausing before reacting or delaying instant gratification—build your 
no 4. muscle for the other areas of life.
The Role of Leisure. 5. True rest isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about engaging in activities that refresh the mind and restore creativity.

 4. “A lot of business owners are lonely, actually isolated.”
 5. “As leaders, part of our job is just kind of to help people settle and know they’re safe.”
 6. “Stewardship is just simply managing something for a season of time… While we’re there with our employees and leaders, we’re stewarding our relationships with them.”

BRYAN & SHANNON MILES: Leading Through Change and Loneliness

What is a calling? How does it shape our work and life? What’s the hidden cost of pursuing it (and what can we do about it)? In this engaging, high-energy conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Arianna Molloy—calling researcher, author, and professor—to unpack the power and pitfalls of purpose-driven work.

Arianna reveals the four key elements of a true calling, practical safeguards to prevent burnout, and three concrete shifts anyone in any field can make to start experiencing a greater sense of purpose and meaning at work. She also explains why humility—not just passion—is the key to sustainable success. If you’ve ever struggled to balance meaningful work with a healthy life, this episode is a must-listen.

Memorable Quotes

 1. “Burnout from a calling isn’t just, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.’ It’s, ‘I don’t know 
who I am 2. anymore.’”
 3. “To learn how to rest well, to learn how to have good boundaries actually protects that healthy sense of your calling.”
 4. “It is so important that work is not all that you have and all that you are because, guess what? At the end of the day, [your work] is going to change and shift… If we hold that with a closed hand, it’s not going to go well.”
 5. “[Calling is] really relational. It’s a relationship with yourself, the caller, and it’s a relationship with the community that you impact.”
 6. “Most of the time, [calling] happens upon reflection… In the moment, it’s not so obvious. This subtle sense of peace, or just a feeling like, ‘I think this is right.’”
 7. “We don’t honor that need and importance of play as much as we could.”
 8. “The lynchpin is humility. Part of humility is the willingness to learn more, to know that you don’t know everything and that is not a threat—it’s actually exciting.”

Key Takeaways

The Bright and Dark Sides of Calling. • A strong sense of purpose can fuel motivation, but without boundaries, it can also lead to burnout and identity loss.
The Four Elements of a True Calling. • Calling isn’t just about passion—it requires meaning, an identified caller, skill development, and a connection to community.
How to Reframe Your Work. • Even if your current job doesn’t feel like a calling, 
job crafting • —adjusting your tasks, relationships, or mindset—can create a deeper sense of meaning.
The Role (and Definition) of Humility. • True calling requires both confidence in your strengths and an openness to growth and makes it possible to step away from work without guilt.
The Power of Rest. • Sustainable success isn’t just about doing more—it’s about recognizing your limits and practicing the right kind of rest to restore energy and creativity.

Drawing from his background in functional medicine and personal experience with a life-altering spinal infection, Dr. Axe shares the most overlooked key to healing and how you can start applying it today.

Memorable Quotes

 2. “If you wake up first thing in the morning and get outside, it’s one of the single greatest things you can do for longevity and your microbiome.”
 3. “This is all about training your nervous system and encouraging your body that ‘This is going to happen.’”
 4. “There’s a lot of people that win at all costs, but they never end up winning. We hear all the stories. They’re never truly winning.”

Key Takeaways

The Biology of Belief. 1. What you believe about your body impacts everything from gut function to recovery speed. Healing starts with mindset.
The Root of the Issue. 2. Many chronic health challenges are driven by unresolved trauma—and show up in unexpected places like digestion and fatigue.
