The Mindset Shift That Made Him Walk on Fire with Dan Hinz

from My Happy Ass Life · host Karen Smith

Sometimes growth doesn’t come from fixing what’s broken. It comes from realizing there’s more inside you waiting to be unlocked. Today, I sit down with my friend Dan Hinz for a conversation about mindset, coaching, and my word for the year, which is courage. Dan shares his experience attending Tony Robbins events, including literally walking on fire, and how investing in himself through coaching transformed the way he approaches business, relationships, money, health, and purpose. We talk honestly about blind spots, why success is more about psychology than strategy, and how growth doesn’t require your life to fall apart first.Episode Highlights[01:00] Meeting Dan and the fire-walking story[03:00] Discovering mindset work through coaching[05:30] Why a good life can still feel restless[07:45] The power of weekly coaching and accountability[10:30] Investing in yourself before investing anywhere else[12:45] Vulnerability, blind spots, and personal growth[15:00] Making a great marriage even better[18:00] What really happens during a fire walk[20:15] Courage, fear, and taking uncomfortable action[22:30] Health, habits, and mastering the inner game[25:00] Money mindset, boundaries, and people-pleasing[27:30] Why asking better questions changes everything[28:00] Why this conversation continues in Part 2Special Thanks to Our SponsorsBuffalo Rock Pepsihttps://www.buffalorock.com/Hue Salon & Boutiquehttps://www.huesalonandboutique.comMinutes and Miles – Chicken Legs Running Apparelhttps://minutesandmiles.comCan’t Hide Prettyhttps://www.canthidepretty.comAmor Boutiquehttps://amorboutiquepc.comJute & Palmhttps://www.juteandpalm.comShore House Furniturehttps://shorehousefurniture.comAmerican Home Shieldhttps://www.ahs.com Links & Resources:Tony Robbins:https://www.tonyrobbins.com/Unleash the Power Within (UPW)https://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/unleash-the-power-withinDate With Destinyhttps://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/date-with-destinyBusiness Masteryhttps://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/business-masteryLife Mastery (Virtual Event)https://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/life-masteryTony Robbins Results Coachinghttps://www.tonyrobbins.com/coachingBook – Millionaire Affirmations by Noah St. Johnhttps://noahstjohn.com/millionaire-affirmationsLet’s Stay Connected!Follow along @MyHappyAssLife on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube so you never miss an episode.Presented by ADF MediaBe sweet, y’all!
