In a world that not only tolerates but promotes mediocrity, we share a vision, of becoming the fullest expression of ourselves. There’s an awakening, for us to have a desire to do good, live with gratitude, and bring positivity into the world.
But how do we do that? Where are the guides? Who do we turn to?
$100m + CEO, entrepreneur, investor, and best-selling author Jack Delosa gives you access to the most successful people from around the world so that you live a life that lights you up so that you can illuminate the world.
Most people want the quick fix. The hack. The shortcut to success. “It takes 21 days to build a habit.” We’ve all heard it, but it’s one of the biggest myths in personal growth, and it’s keeping people stuck.
This week on Elevate, I’m joined by Dr Gina Cleo, one of the world’s leading habit researchers, to unpack the real science of change. We went deep on why so many entrepreneurs fall off track after a few weeks, why motivation doesn’t last, and how rewiring your relationship with “hard” is the only way to build habits that truly stick.
Habits don’t just shape our health or routines; they shape our businesses. The entrepreneurs who grow the fastest aren’t the ones chasing intensity; they’re the ones who’ve learned to make consistency automatic, to pay the price of discipline, and to keep going when others quit.
This conversation isn’t about hacks or hype. It’s about what it really takes to build the habits that build the business, the wealth, and the life you want.
Inside, you’ll discover:
Why the 21-day rule is a lie (and how long habits really take)
The three mistakes that sabotage every goal
How small wins compound into massive results
Why setbacks are part of the dance, not a sign of failure
The trait that separates the entrepreneurs who succeed from those who stall
If you’re ready to stop starting over and finally create the habits that drive your business and your life forward, this episode is your blueprint.

Sam Gordon: Why the Top 1% Run Toward the Storm
Most people want the highlight reel of success. This isn’t that.
On The Top 1% Podcast with Sam Gordon, I opened up about the toughest chapters of my journey, losing half a million dollars a month, cutting my team in half overnight, and staring down $5 million in survival debt. These were the moments that could have broken me, but instead they reshaped the way I build, lead, and think today.
Adversity doesn’t just shape individuals; it reshapes entire industries. During COVID, when most expected collapse, our members experienced explosive growth, driving hundreds of millions in revenue, with some bricks-and-mortar businesses recording their biggest months in the very same month they thought they’d die.
This conversation is about more than survival. It’s about what adversity really does: stripping away ego, forcing you to find out who you are without the scaffolding of titles, awards, or net worth, and showing you that resilience is the only real currency that matters.
Inside, you’ll discover:
How businesses grow more in hard times than in good ones (including COVID)
Why money doesn’t change you — it magnifies you
The hidden danger of “good times” and complacency
The single trait that separates average performers from elite entrepreneurs
If you’ve ever wondered what it actually takes to stay in the game when everything is on the line, this episode will give you the unfiltered truth

How to Become the 10.0 Version of You
In this episode, we’re diving into the most important concept you’ve never been taught: identity.
Because here’s the truth:Your business will never outgrow your identity.Your results will never outpace the story you tell yourself about yourself.
Most business owners are trying to scale their company while still operating from an outdated internal operating system — their old identity. And that is the real bottleneck.
In this solo episode, I break down what it actually takes to become the 10.0 version of yourself. The version who effortlessly builds scalable businesses, leads with clarity, and lives in deep alignment. Not through hacks, but through who you are.
If you’ve been feeling stuck at your current level, procrastinating on the hard things, or repeating the same patterns, this conversation will shift how you see yourself and what you’re capable of.
You’ll learn:
Why your business, wealth, and impact will never outgrow the identity you hold for yourself
The 3 identity blockers sabotaging your growth and how to overcome them
How to rewire your relationship with ‘hard’ so discomfort becomes your greatest advantage
The hidden way your mind avoids growth and how it keeps you stuck at your current level
Why becoming more weird is the fastest path to freedom, alignment and success
This episode is your permission slip to let go of who you’ve been, and consciously step into the most powerful version of who you’re here to become.
Let’s unlock the 10.0 version of you.
