In this episode of Always Evolving, I walk you through one of the cornerstone exercises from my book Best Self: Be You, Only Better—an exercise I’ve used with clients for over two decades. It’s called SPHERES, and it’s designed to help you pinpoint the exact area of your life that’s keeping you from becoming your best self. We’ll explore the seven core areas: Social, Personal, Health, Employment, Relationships, Evolving, and Spirituality. I’ll guide you through how to assess each one honestly and help you reflect on what’s out of alignment—and more importantly, what to do about it. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I went from having just $500 in the bank to building real financial freedom.

I’ll break down my journey with stocks, real estate, and passive income, and how I kept doing what I love the entire way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tonight, I'm walking into a room full of professionals I’ve never met before—and instead of leading with my accomplishments, I’m choosing something different. In this episode, I reflect on the internal pull to impress, the ego-driven stories we tell, and how easily we trade authenticity for approval. I talk about what it means to show up humbly, the illusions we create around success, and why real connection can only happen when we stop performing and start being honest. This is a reminder—for me, and maybe for you—that our worth isn't earned by validation. It’s something we already have. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of Always Evolving, I’m celebrating the release of the paperback version of my best-selling book One Decision. Did you know that we make approximately 35,000 decisions each and every day? What is your decision-making strategy? How do you get unstuck when you don’t know the “right” decision? In this episode, I’ll share with you my three most authentic decisions, and exactly how they set my life on its current path. But how do you know you’re being authentic when you’re making choices, or when you’re making them to please someone else? I’ll talk about that, and I will also reveal what inspired me to create the tools within this book and how I believe they can serve you and give you the internal freedom to live your best life.  https://www.facebook.com/coachmikebayer/ https://www.instagram.com/coachmikebayer/ https://twitter.com/coachmikebayer tiktok.com/@coachmikebayer https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts https://twitter.com/stage29podcasts https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
