    Episode 261- Living on Borrowed Time: Mastering the Moments That Count
    Jan 2 2026
    In this deeply personal and reflective episode of Personal Mastery Training, the Alliance gathers to close out a challenging 2025. For host Alvin Brown, this year brought the profound loss of his 31-year-old son and the show's beloved co-host, Dr. Charlie Cartwright. These events sparked a vital conversation about the concept of "Borrowed Time." We often live under the illusion that we have endless time to chase our dreams, but the reality is that life is unscripted and finite. As we transition into 2026, the question isn't just about what you want to achieve, but how you intend to live the time you have left. This episode is a reminder that life is not a dress rehearsal—it is happening right now. Key Highlights
    • The Reality of Borrowed Time: Every cell in our body is destined for apoptosis (cell death). We are biologically living on borrowed time. Alvin shares that regardless of how healthy or righteous we live, life is unpredictable. We must stop living "lives of quiet desperation" and start playing the music that is inside of us today.
    • One Less Day, Not One More: Brandon shifts the perspective on how we view our calendar. We shouldn't look at tomorrow as just "one more day" added to our lives, but rather as "one less day" remaining in our bank. When you realize the count is going down, not up, you stop sweating the small stuff and start valuing the things that truly matter.
    • Clocked Time vs. Lived Time: Ray introduces a powerful distinction. "Clocked time" is simply existing and punching the clock of life. "Lived time" consists of the rare, special moments that give our lives color and meaning. We need to audit our lives to ensure we aren't just passing time, but actually creating memories.
    • Bring Value to the Hour: Inspired by Jim Rohn, the group discusses that you don't get paid (in money or joy) for the hour; you get paid for the value you bring to the hour. Whether it is in business or relationships, richness comes from how you make people feel and the energy you bring to the interaction.
    • The Privilege of Aging: Getting older is a privilege denied to many. The goal is to age with vibrancy so that when you look back at photos of your life, you see joy and energy at every stage. Be the kind of elder that younger generations want to sit with because you have a life full of stories and wisdom to share.
    • Power Words for 2026: The hosts chose their guiding words for the upcoming year:
    • Alvin: Acceptance (The newly identified 5th Pillar of Mastery).
    • Brandon: Embrace (The opportunities and the moment).
    • Ray: Burn (Let your inner light shine).
    Final Thoughts As we wrap up this year, take a moment to look at the "season" of life you are in. Are you waiting for permission to be yourself? Are you holding onto baggage that is weighing you down? The Alliance reminds us that the best time to start is today. You cannot dream big enough, so don't let the fear of inadequacy stop you from launching forward. Honor the memory of those who have passed by living your life fully, vibrantly, and without regret. Peace, Love, and Soul.

  • Episode 260- Success Is Not Pursued - It's Attracted

    Episode 260- Success Is Not Pursued - It's Attracted
    Dec 12 2025
    We often find ourselves trapped in the "relentless pursuit" of success, constantly moving the goalposts and feeling that we are never "good enough." But what if the secret to achieving your dreams wasn't found in the chase, but in a profound shift in identity? The truly successful understand that the goal is not to pursue success—it is to become the person who effortlessly attracts it. Key Highlights: The Strategy to Attract Success
    • The Trap of the "Enough Bar": Many of us live in "quiet desperation," chasing an arbitrary idea of success (more money, next degree, next car). This "enough bar" constantly moves, leading to continuous emptiness because the focus is on the outcome, not the inner work.
    • The Paradigm Shift: Success should be attracted, not pursued. This means the quest is not for the "thing" itself, but for the person you must become to be capable of attracting and holding that thing. (Credit to Jim Rohn for this philosophy).
    • The Value of the Journey: The real reward of any challenging pursuit (like a 16-week transformation) is not the medals or the outcome, but the character traits you develop along the way: Discipline, Focus, Trusting the Process, and Patience.
    • Define Your Success: You must first clearly define what success means to you, without comparing yourself to others. What would have to happen for you to feel a sense of accomplishment?
    • Craft Your Identity: Once you know what you want, ask: "Who do I have to become?"
      • Find a mentor living the life you desire.
      • Adopt their "alter ego" or mindset.
      • Practice the Be, Do, Have principle: Be that successful person now, Do the things they would do, and you will Have what you desire.
    • Bring More Value: You get paid for the value you bring to the hour, not the hour itself. To elevate your life, you must elevate your skills. Invest in courses, mentorship, and self-improvement (refining your skills).
    • Be the Thermostat: Stop being a thermometer that only reflects the temperature of the room (your circumstances). Become the thermostat that actively sets the temperature (the energy, the impact, the value) in your life and environment.
    Become Attractive, Not Chasing Success is not an external thing to be hunted down; it is a mirror reflecting your personal growth. By focusing on constant and never-ending improvement—by adding value to yourself and the world—you transform into an attractive person with compelling energy. Stop chasing the goal, and start becoming the one who is inherently worthy of it.

  • Episode 259- Mastering the Winters of Life

    Episode 259- Mastering the Winters of Life
    Dec 5 2025
    Our entire philosophy at Personal Mastery Training is built on one radical idea: In order to achieve mastery, we cannot simply get through challenges. We must strategically seek to get something from them. We understand the seasons of nature perfectly. Spring is for growth. Summer is for harvest. Autumn is for beautiful decay and letting go. But then there is the fourth season: Winter. Winter shows up in our personal lives, and it often leads us to panic. It's not always cold outside, but it is freezing inside. It's the season of unexpected layoffs, financial downturns, health setbacks, profound loss, or a nagging creative block. It is that time when the lights dim, the external noise goes quiet, and we are forced into deep introspection. My Personal Winter I'm sharing this with you not from a place of theory, but from the trenches. 2025 has been a season of deep winters for me. Earlier this year, I lost my son to cancer. Recently, I lost a dear friend and co-host of the Alliance, Dr. Charlie Cartwright. I am in the deep winter. But this pain has become my motivation to share the philosophy of the seasons—wisdom I learned from the modern-day philosopher Jim Rohn—so that we can navigate these dark times together. The "Summer Mode" Trap The primary source of suffering during winter comes from the narratives we cling to. We are culturally conditioned to believe we should always be in "Summer Mode." Thanks to social media and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), we think we should always be growing, always achieving, and always producing a visible harvest. When winter hits, an unhelpful inner voice screams: "Why haven't I figured this out? Why am I not happy? I am failing because I have nothing to show." We try to manufacture a summer feeling. We fill our calendars and double down on external effort, even though our environment is screaming at us to stop. Winter is Not a Punishment; It's Preparation We have to accept the purpose of winter. It is not a punishment. It is a vital, non-negotiable phase of life. Think of a seed. It cannot grow until it is broken open in the dark, cold ground. The deep, transformative work of life happens in the dark. I love this wisdom: "We won't rise to the occasion when something happens; we will fall to the level of our preparation." My family and I are surviving this tragedy not because we are superhuman, but because previous winters prepared us. We are falling to our level of preparation. How to Navigate the Cold: Strategic Stillness If you are in a financial, mental, spiritual, or existential winter, how do you handle the stillness without falling into paralyzing stagnation? 1. Practice Essentialism Winter is the time to cut dead branches. In business, you consolidate resources. In life, you declutter. This season has forced me to become brutally non-negotiable about what I say "yes" to. Ask yourself: What foundational belief about myself is dying off so something stronger can take its place? 2. Turn Pain into Purpose Stagnation is avoidance. Productive stillness is intentionality. I could have gone "zero dark thirty" and hidden from the world after losing my son. Instead, we chose to turn pain into purpose. We raised $65,000 for a foundation in his name. We focused on helping others get healthy. The way I grieve is to be of service. 3. Set a Winter Intention Don't set a goal for an outcome (like "get a new job" or "be happy"). Set an intention for a skill. Example: "My intention is to learn how to sit with discomfort without seeking a destructive escape." The Power of Protective Habits In the summer, your habits are focused on output. In the winter, your habits must pivot to input and protection. Protect your time. Protect your energy. Prioritize rest. We have a toxic narrative that says, "I'm too busy to rest." You must replace that with: "Rest is my most productive activity right now." It is an act of proactive self-mastery. You are stocking your internal pantry for the coming spring. The Ultimate Gift of Winter If we leverage this season correctly, we gain two things we can never get from summer: Unshakable Resilience: Summer teaches you how to enjoy the harvest. Winter teaches you that you can survive when the field is barren. It teaches you that your worth is not tied to your productivity. Profound Self-Intimacy: In the quiet of winter, you finally hear your authentic voice. You stop worrying about who the world expects you to be and align with who you truly are. This Too Shall Pass It is always darkest before the dawn. If you are in the cold right now, know that the light will return. But don't just wait for it—utilize the dark. Let the pain change you. Let it be the incubator for your greatest future self. Don't just get through it. Get from it. To my son, and to Dr. Charlie Cartwright—one love. Peace, love, and a sprinkle of soul.
