Growth isn’t a one-time event; it’s a relentless, ongoing process. If you’ve been following Brady Young Change, you know we don’t believe in "quick fixes" that fizzle out by next Tuesday. We believe in transformation that sticks.
Our flagship book, CHANGE, has become a roadmap for thousands of individuals looking to reclaim their future by mastering six crucial areas: Communication, Habits, Attitude, Network, Goals, and Education. But if the book is the blueprint, the Brad Young CHANGE 2025 Podcast is the live construction site where we work through the real-world challenges of modern life.
Today is July 26, 2026, and we’re taking a moment to pause and reflect. If you missed our recent broadcasts, you missed some of the most tactical advice Brad has ever released. Here is your "Podcast Rewind": three essential episodes that will redefine your approach to personal and professional growth.
1. Episode 96: "Change That Sticks" (July 22, 2026)
Why Inconsistency is the Silent Progress-Killer
We’ve all been there: you start a new routine with a burst of energy, only to find yourself back on the couch three weeks later. In this episode, Brad dives deep into why most personal change fails. The problem isn't your willpower: it’s your lack of a framework.
Brad argues that "inconsistent change" is actually worse than no change at all because it breeds a "quitter’s identity." To combat this, he introduced a powerful six-step framework designed to bake consistency into your very DNA.
Practical Takeaways:
The 2% Rule: Don't try to change 100% of your life at once. Focus on a 2% shift in your Habits every week.
The Identity Shift: Change shouldn't be about what you do, but who you are. Move from "I am trying to wake up early" to "I am the type of person who values the morning."
Feedback Loops: Use the Communication pillar not just for others, but for yourself. Track your progress out loud or in a journal to reinforce the neural pathways of your new habit.
2. Episode 95: "How to Use CHANGE to Overcome Personal Chaos" (July 15, 2026)
Protecting Your Peace in a Noisy World
Life in 2026 is faster than ever. Between global shifts and personal responsibilities, it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in "personal chaos." In this mid-July episode, Brad shared a vulnerable look at how he manages high-stakes business decisions while maintaining internal peace.
The secret? Using the CHANGE acronym as a protective shield. When chaos hits, you don't need more "hustle"; you need more structure.
Practical Takeaways:
A – Attitude: You cannot control the chaos, but you can control your interpretation of it. Is this a "disaster" or "data"?
N – Network: Who is in your foxhole? Brad emphasizes that during chaotic times, you must audit your network. Cut out the "chaos-creators" and lean on your "peace-protectors."
G – Goals: When life feels overwhelming, shrink your horizon. What is the one goal you must achieve in the next 24 hours to stay on track?
3. "Lifelong Learning in the AI Era" (May 10, 2026)
Future-Proofing Your Mind
Education didn't end when you walked across the stage at graduation. In this standout episode from May, Brad tackled the elephant in the room: how do we stay relevant when AI is moving at lightning speed?
The answer lies in the Education pillar of the CHANGE framework. In the AI era, the most valuable skill isn't knowing the answer: it’s knowing how to ask the right questions and how to learn new systems faster than your competition.
Practical Takeaways:
The Skill Audit: Every six months, identify one technical skill (like AI prompting) and one soft skill (like empathetic communication) to master.
Curated Consumption: Stop scrolling and start studying. Brad suggests treating your podcast queue like a university syllabus.
The "Teaching" Method: The best way to learn is to teach. Take the concepts from the CHANGE book and explain them to a colleague or friend. This solidifies your own understanding.
The Engine of Transformation: The CHANGE Framework
Everything we talk about on the PodCentral Publishing Network and in our bestselling books comes back to these six pillars. They are the engine of every successful life we’ve studied.
Communication: The ability to articulate your vision and listen to the world’s needs.
Habits: The daily, repeatable actions that build your future.
Attitude: The internal lens that determines your external reality.
Network: The community and mentors that raise your "average."
Goals: The North Star that gives your effort a destination.
Education: The commitment to never stop being a student of life.
When you align these six pillars, you don't just change your day: you change your destiny. Whether you’re driving toward a career milestone or seeking personal fulfillment, this framework is your tactical advantage.
Take Action Today
If you’re ready to take the next step, here’s your homework:
Listen: Head over to our podcast and listen to Episode 96. It’s 45 minutes that could save you years of frustration.
Read: If you haven't grabbed your copy of the book CHANGE, do it now. It’s the foundational text for everything we discuss.
Implement: Pick one pillar: just one: and commit to improving it this week.
Personal transformation is a choice. Every morning you wake up, you choose to stay the same or you choose to CHANGE. Which one will it be today?
Keep growing, keep learning, and keep changing.
