Playbook Radio #191 - Your Current Programming isn't Working
Everything comes down to results. When a radio station stops getting them, it doesn't blame the staff. It changes the programming. In this episode of Playbook Radio, Martin Williams asks you to do the same. If you've been stuck in a rut, you can't keep thinking the same thoughts and expect a...

Playbook Radio #190 - Walk by Faith
At 5 years old, my stepfather took the training wheels off my bike. I was not happy about it. But the choice was simple: ride the bike, or don't have one. In this episode, I connect that story to where I am now. God takes off our training wheels at different points in life, whether it's a job, a...

Playbook Radio #189 - You're Trying to Do Too Much, Too Soon
Episode 189: You're Trying to Do Too Much (And It's Killing Your Progress) Martin Williams gets real about a habit he's guilty of himself: trying to compress real change into unrealistic timelines. Moving into entrepreneurship full-time has forced him to confront how much content to post, how…

Playbook Radio #188: The Problem is the Programming
Your results aren't random — they're a mirror of what's running in your subconscious mind. In this episode of Playbook Radio, I break down why mindset work doesn't have to be complicated: it's about identifying the one belief driving your current results and consciously replacing it. I walk…

Episode #187 — "Create the Win"
What do you do when you're chasing a goal you've never actually reached before — more money, a new level in your career, a version of yourself you haven't met yet? Most people stall out right there, thinking, "I've never done this, so I guess I can't." In episode 187 of Playbook Radio, "Create…

Playbook Radio #186: Movement
In this episode, Martin breaks down why forcing yourself to move — even in small, imperfect steps — is the key to getting unstuck in life, business, and mindset. He draws the through-line from physical movement (why your body needs it) to financial movement (why money has to stay in motion) to...
-
Playbook Radio #185 - Are You Trained for Where You Want to Go?
Your mind has to be trained just like your body does. In this episode, I get into why most goals stall out — not because people are lazy, but because the mind was never conditioned to expect the win. I share the story of the master's degree I almost lost, how I used visualization to get it back,...
-
Playbook Radio #184 - You Aren't Finished Yet
You're not finished yet — and that's the point. In this episode, I break down why we extend grace to unfinished buildings, unfinished projects, and other people's timelines... but never to ourselves. I get into the two rules of project management that apply directly to your life, why "finishing…

Playbook Radio #183: Law over Feelings
Your feelings aren't your north star — they're a signal, and signals can be wrong. In this episode, I break down why you can't run your business, your relationships, or your life strictly off how you feel in the moment. I'll walk you through the traffic light principle, why the first 90 days…

Playbook Radio #182 - You Have to See Yourself There Before You Get There
You can't build a future you've never let yourself picture. If you're waiting for proof before you visualize the win, you've got it backwards. In this episode: — Why visualization isn't "woo" — it's a muscle you already built as a kid — The real story of visualizing a trip he couldn't afford —…

Playbook Radio #181 - Just Start
Procrastination doesn't just cost you time — one estimate puts the price tag at $70 billion a year in the U.S. alone. In this episode, Martin breaks down Playbook Principle 17: just start. Why waiting for the "right time" is quietly bankrupting your relationships, your finances, and your ideas —...
-
Playbook Radio #180 - Process over Progress
Martin opens with the NFL training camp phenomenon — now that camps are open to media, every practice gets scrutinized, creating an exaggerated day-to-day narrative (great one day, terrible the next) that doesn't reflect the real work happening behind the scenes. He draws the parallel to personal...
-
Playbook Radio #179: Feeling is the Signal
Your feelings aren't random — they're a direct signal from your subconscious mind. In this episode, I talk about why anxiety and doubt aren't things to just push through, but information to act on. I share the exact process I use to remove negative expectations and replace them with confidence…

Playbook Radio #176 - All Thoughts Reproduce

-
Playbook Radio #175: Live As If You're Already There
In this episode, I dig into Neville Goddard’s idea of “living from the end” — mentally stepping into the reality of your goal before it shows up physically. Instead of getting stuck on how much something will cost, how long it’ll take, or whether you’ll even get the chance, I talk about why it’s...

-
Playbook Radio #167 - You Can't Afford to Feel Sorry for Yourself
I reveal why mental discipline separates winners from everyone else. Your mind is like a horse—if you’re not directing it, it takes you wherever it wants, usually into victim mentality.
