Show Notes

Remember when The Secret took the world by storm back in 2007? The Law of Attraction promised that whatever you focus on, you attract—whether it’s wealth, success, or a dream car. But is it really that simple? This week, we dive into the truth behind The Secret, what parts of it actually hold water, and why just thinking about your goals isn’t enough (spoiler: action is required).

We explore the power of mindset, the importance of daily habits, and how small, consistent efforts can shape your reality. Is it about attracting success, or just training your brain to see the opportunities in front of you? Plus, we discuss the fine line between manifestation and magical thinking—because as Todd points out, no amount of belief will let you fly (unless you’re getting on a plane).
