Munch My Benson, the seminal SVU podcast, is the twisted spawn of co-hosts Adam Schwitters and Josh Duggan, celebrating the splendid and often wildly inappropriate lunacy found only on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Each week The Randomizer spits out a new episode, and they dive deep into the heinous murk before rating it in terms of overall quality, guest star performances, the degree to which the episode was problematic (the more, the better), and the depth and breadth of lives ruined ...

You can’t have an A-level business with C-level performers. If you want to have more impact on your marketplace, develop your people to have greater impact and the quickest way to grow your company is to grow your people. I’m going to say that again because it’s ridiculously important. You might not need more people. You might not have to fire any …

The rape of a woman just outside her apartment building frays the social fabric of New York when so many of her neighbors saw something happen but none of them took action to help or even notify the police. This being a Season 17 SVU one can't help but notice the racism bubbling very close to the surface in the portrayal of the three bad teens who …

You know that winning starts at your beginning. You get that legendary leaders rise at dawn so they have an hour to strengthen themselves. You understand that the early hours are the days' quietest hours so wisdom demands that we use them well.

The majority is caught up in the “relentless release of stuff.” Most producers rush to deliver many materials rather than investing the time and painstaking care to handcraft a single masterpiece that stands the test of time. It’s wiser to make one Fifth Symphony versus many pieces of mediocrity [that never establish domain dominance]. My new book …

Picking up where we left off in MMB 219, we had a SUPER bad dad who was just found not guilty of ummm, SAing his son to show him what a real man is. The Munchie Boys were left to wonder what fresh hell awaited them upon returning to this foul ground in a second part that seemed unnecessary, and this one did not disappoint in terms of exceeding thei…

For years I’ve taught “The Twin Cycles of Elite Performance Framework” which encourages creative producers to work intensely in the season of productivity and then shift into the “DRC: Deep Recovery Cycle” where one rests, renews and simply enjoys the fruits of one’s labor. If you’re serious about becoming a virtuoso, balance periods of being in th…

Key principle: it’s not the hours you put in that determines your productivity but the quality of mastery that you put into the hours that you work! So, why not just work for 5 hours each day but make them monomaniacally focused and excellent? No fooling around, no scrolling and no chatting. Just real, heavyweight, beautiful work. Then, go take a n…

For the next 90 days, devote the first 90 minutes of your work day to the best opportunity in your life. Nothing else. Zero distractions. Build this right into your daily schedule for the next 90 days. Because the things that get scheduled are the things that get done. My new book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original too…

Worrying about your legacy takes your focus off the beautiful work that will build your legacy. Worry about living each day richly, honouring your values and helping others. Ironically, this will give you a good legacy. This is what my new book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending …

One of the most human of weaknesses we all need to wage war with is the absolute sabotaging seduction of “putting off”. — It’s so easy to put off our inner work so we become the finest versions of our most luminous selves. — It’s so easy to put off investing the sweat equity that will help us reach mastery at our chosen craft. — It’s so easy to put…

When you present your brilliance to the world you do your part to make the world more brilliant. So, remember who you’re here to serve. Know who puts food on the family table and obsess upon the human beings who love what you do. And then go all in for them. Give your heart and soul—via the mastery of your craft—for them. Underpromise and overdeliv…

For our 220th episode, the Munchies voted and selected a wild Season 11 SVU which sees the unit inexplicably called to investigate an arson leading them first to suspect streaming TV's It Boy, Jeremy Allen White, who is sporting the most disgusting zit makeup ever imagined, before the investigation shifts to a grief-stricken dad. This one marks the…

If you’ve been following my work for a while, you know about my “MVP Growth Tool”. In sports circles, “MVP” stands for “Most Valuable Player” yet in my mentoring methodology it’s an acronym for one of the most powerful rituals for human transformation: Meditation, Visualization and Prayer. My new book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh i…

The better the daily decisions the more superior your daily results. The fine art of brilliant choice-making isn’t spoken of nor deconstructed so often yet it’s a skill absolutely worth mastering. The people, places and pursuits that fuel your joy are not mere accidents. By this I mean, each of us has a wise GPS encoded within us. And that which br…

Please do not judge the timing of your life against what’s unfolding for others. Your journey is yours alone, and ideally orchestrated for your maximum growth. When it’s time for the business to rise or the setback to dissolve or the love to appear, it will. Your higher power is wiser than you know. And more compassionate than you think. Where you …

There are bad dads, and then there's the dad played by Dylan Walsh in the first half of a two-parter to kick of Season 20. Hold onto your--wait, are we still doing phrasing? Ummm, be prepared, yeah, be prepared for some gnarly stuff in this installment of SVU. Also, be ready to watch seasoned detectives on this unit have no idea how to investigate …

Invest in learning. When I enter the homes of the best producers on the planet for a day of advisory, my eyes always note that though they might have big TVs in their abodes they inevitably have massive libraries.

Who loves ya, baby? That's right, the Munchie Boys do. This month we did an entire bonus Movie Club entry for all of our audience, not just the Munchies on Patreon who get one of these a month. And we didn't do just any old movie. We did the anti-rom-com that might just have been the origin of cringe comedy, Elaine May's 1972 masterpiece The Heartb…

Those who don’t get it say that people living gorgeous lives “got lucky”. I think that’s a way of removing themselves from responsibility. By classifying the successful and soulful among us as “lucky”, we absolve ourselves from the focus, effort, sacrifice and resilience needed to make our ethical ambitions real. This is what my new book The Wealth…

This Season 12er takers us on a wild ride from unionizing dry cleaners, to piss-wielding nurses who just need an early-morning quickie, to militant environmentalists, and finally to the first installment of the Calvin Arliss saga which might have spared us all from the horrors of Baby Boy Doe, but for the fact of a clearly non-legally binding guard…

Many people focus on the problem in front of them instead of the solution available to them. (Every problem carries with it a solution, even if you can’t see it right away.) The world's most successful human beings have patiently programmed themselves, through consistent daily practice, to constantly look for the opportunity within each difficulty …

According to the definition, "meticulosity" means "an extreme attention to detail." Now I know we should do nothing to an extreme (Chinese wisdom tells us that "the bow too tightly strung is easily broken"). But I like the idea of having a masterful devotion around the details-both while we work and while we live. This is what my new book “The Weal…

Our gorgeous and scary world needs more leaders. Real, everyday, brave, honest, humble and compassionate leaders who place their cause above their ego. And their service above their self-interest. Here’s the good news: you can become one of these leaders. By leading without a title. By using each day as a platform for leadership practice. By upgrad…

This week's installment really takes the Munchie Boys on a wild ride, starting with a working boy stumble-crashing a wedding in his boxers, dipping its toes in the water with Finnish furniture design and Altoona-style pizza, and finishing with a perp stroking Elliot's hand asking if he's going to protect them. Along the way, we take a voyage throug…

Commitment to daily growth is your absolute superpower. Do not allow even one day to go by without pushing yourself to make a micro-win.

My new book “The Wealth Money C…

How you perform under pressure depends on how well you’ve prepared for the battle. Legendary athletes will tell you that games are won before a foot is set on the court (by deep, focused, heroic practice). How easy it is to forget that there can be no mastery without relentless, consistent and brave-hearted practice (especially on the days when you…

Install “zero-device days” often so you get away from technology and your usual life to enter the state of flow where your mastery-grade ideas reside. No one receives world-changing insights while playing with their phone. Producers with drained batteries are highly unproductive. Regeneration cycles are not a luxury—they are a necessity [for anyone…

Cold Case comes in with a cold case, and Olivia's ancient history comes screaming into this week's big-round-numbered installment of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

What if the true reason you may not have the productivity or prosperity you long for is not because such rewards are not meant for you but due to patterns of deep self-sabotage that are keeping you stuck?

Yes—the world's most successful entrepreneurs are mostly absolute perfectionists. If they are founders of a hotel chain, they just might delay the opening of a new property for two months if the marble they ordered for the restaurant is not the precise color. If they are a tech company founder, they’ll insist on getting the product to Mona-Lisa-lev…
