In this Ennspresso episode, host Evan Carmichael opens with his daily "one‑word" mantra—Believe—and invites Gary Vaynerchuk to discuss the central role of mindset in achieving success. Gary emphasizes a binary choice between positivity and negativity, urging listeners to consciously dump negative thoughts and add positive ones, and to surround themselves with people who choose optimism. Evan expands on this by linking positivity to consistent habits and environment: daily rituals such as reading a page from his book, specific clothing, music, and visual cues that reinforce belief. He stresses that success comes from daily consistency rather than occasional motivation spikes. The episode also features Demi Lovato, who shares a personal story about manifesting opportunities through positive energy, and a segment (Speaker B) that encourages viewers to actively recognize and amplify others’ good deeds, creating a ripple effect of positivity. Speaker E adds a brief coaching note on confronting limiting self‑talk and treating positivity like a muscle that can be trained. Throughout, Evan calls the audience to share their own go‑to positivity practices, thanks a fan for promoting his book, and promises more daily espresso‑style motivation.

Rise and shine, it's Ennspresso time! Good morning, Believe Nation, it's Evan. My one word is believe, and I believe in you. I believe in that amazing gift you have inside you that needs to be shared with the world. So let's start the day off right together. Grab your cup of coffee and sip on today's message: choose positivity. Over to you, Gary Vaynerchuk.
I really think mindset is everything, and so you've got to really decide you're gonna be positive about things or negative about things. Am I thrilled that I have the ability to do things about it to make what I'm worried about better, or am I crippled by it? There's like these 7 things I can face tomorrow. I always choose positivity. I look at other people around me. It's not just about I look at the people around me that are winning, they choose positivity. I look at the people around me that are not winning, that are not progressing, that are not advancing, they're choosing negativity. It's stunningly binary. It's stunningly black and white. It's stunningly A or B. This is really up to you and really, to be very honest, to be very frank, I think the biggest impact I'm having is I read all the emails 'cause I read a lot of them last night as well, is shifting that mindset and getting people into that and making them understand that they're in charge of that and hacking and trying to pour out the negativity Dump a negativity, add a positivity. Dump a negativity, add a positivity. Dump a negativity, add a positivity. I'm a positivity to your world. That's what I'm pushing. That's my agenda. And that's why I think you're feeling the effects. And I think you need to find more of that in your partner, in your loved one, in your business partner, in your audience. So many people get 49 comments, 48 are phenomenal. One's like, you're a piece of shit. And they spend 80% of their time on that one comment. Please choose positivity.
There's a direct correlation between positivity and success. As somebody who studies success, right? We've got, got the book, Top 10 Rules of Success. We've got the videos. I may have studied success and successful people more than most people. I would put my level of research up with anybody who studies the subject. And one thing that I find consistently is that successful people are positive. You know, it's not that everything in their life is amazing, but they choose to see the positive. They choose to see how something could work out. They are optimistic in general, but you don't need to listen to me. You don't need to hear my advice. I don't like— you know, from your own experience as well, think about all the negative people in your life. Think about the people who are complaining, who are negative, who just see the bad in everything, right? There are those people that exist. Chances are they're not the most successful people that you know. Those people who just constantly complain, they're negative, are not typically very successful. And so you want to flip it. You want to be the opposite. You want to be positive. You want to be around positive people. You want to be in an encouraging environment. And so how do you flip the switch? How do you go from negativity all around you to positivity? For me, it's about the habits and it's about the environment. So it starts with your one word, right? Self-awareness. What do you stand for? What do you want to bring more into the world. For me, it's believe. I believe in people, I believe in untapped potential, I believe in greatness, I believe in you. I want to see that amazing thing come outside. Like, that's genuine. It's not just a YouTube thing. Like, it's real. I want you to do amazing things. It's at the core of who I am. If that helps me or not, like, I want it to help you, period. And so believe was my one word. How do I bring that out daily? How do I believe and believe daily? Because when we have this big ambitious thing, it's easy to get sidetracked. It's easy to have self-doubt. It's easy to talk ourselves down. It's not even the people around us telling us that we can't do it, it's ourselves. It's ourselves. We tell ourselves that we can't do amazing things. And so having the environment and routine sets you up for success. Like walking into here, right? Walking into here makes me feel believed. What I wear makes me feel believed. The music I listen to makes me feel believed. The habits of reading a book, a page from the book every day makes me feel believed. All of this stuff. Think about the habits and routines and environment that you are doing on a consistent basis. You are what you consistently do, period. It doesn't matter about the one-off thing. If you are dieting and you eat a chocolate bar, like if you're eating super healthy every day and then you eat one chocolate bar, that's not going to make a difference. But if you're eating chocolate bars every day and eating crap and have one day of salad, that's not going to make you healthy. The one-offs don't matter. It's what you consistently do. And so if you fall off track, it's going to happen. You may not— you may have an off day, you may have a bad day, like that stuff's going to happen in business. That's okay. That's not what matters. It matters what you consistently do. So when you figure out what your one word most important core value is, then how do you design habits and environment around it so that every day when you wake up, you get out of bed, you're doing something that makes you feel like that's achievable, that helps you feel— for me, I want to feel more belief every day. The book, I write my goals, I walk in this environment, I put on some music, I put on my clothes. Like, all of that helps me feel believe and gets me set up to have an amazing day. You may look at all that and say, that's stupid. Great. That's awesome. It works for me. You know, I'm sure having a picture of— how do I— no, no, this side. There you go. There we go. You know, those are my parents and me when I'm like 8, right? I'm sure putting that picture on your wall is not going to inspire you. People that you may not know is not going to inspire you. Fine. If you don't like my routine, I'm not saying my routine is the best routine. But find the thing for you. If you're not feeling boldness every day, that's on you. Your environment sucks, your belief system sucks, your habits suck. So fix it, change it. We've had those moments, you have had those moments that you felt unstoppable and bold and courageous and ready to take on the world and feeling absolute confidence. So what were you doing? And then bring that every day, like start your day with it. It's a consistent message I share on my channel because it's so important. Important because you're not doing it. Because you get pumped up on a Thursday afternoon going to a seminar or having a phone call or watching a video or reading a book, and then you fall flat. Like, I get it. It's not you. It was me too. I need it every day. I don't just wake up and read a page from the book and then I'm good for the next month. Like, I need it daily. It's why I designed that book so you read one page a day. Don't blast through it. Don't get tons of motivation, energy, ideas, wisdom, and then nothing for the next 3 weeks. Every day. It's not this short-term, you know, quick-fix thing that you just hit a needle and boom, you're set. It's your habits. It's your environment. It's the daily consistency. It's that focus on creating something remarkable, creating an experience that is designed and tailored for you. It's eating healthy every day, but for your soul, right? For your mind, for this, for the inside, not just the It's the food that you eat. And so if you look at those successful people, they are positive. They see the good. They want to create something amazing. They believe that it's going to work out even when all the data says that it's not. And if you want to have success, you got to choose positivity too. And if you're not, then just invite that in. Create that positive environment, habits, atmosphere, people, resources, books, videos, The more you hang around positive things, you know what's going to happen? It's going to rub off onto you. You're going to become more positive. It's just going to happen. And the more you hang around negativity, the more you're going to be a negative person too. So make your choice and make it powerful. So the question of the day today is, I'm curious, what is the thing that you do on a regular basis that helps you stay positive? Your go-to. You know, for me, it's reading a page from the book every single morning. What is it for you that whenever you're not feeling positive, that's the thing that you need to do to get you fired up again? I think it's helpful just for you to write it down so you commit to it again, but also for the people watching to read the comments. Your story, what you do, could inspire them to take some kind of action in their life too. So you might inspire me too. Let's see what you got. Leave in the comments. I also want to give a quick shout out to Kevin Fielder. Kevin, thank you so much for picking up a copy of my book, Your One Word. And then posting about it on Twitter. I really, really appreciate the support, man, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed the book. So thank you guys again for watching. I believe in you, and I hope you continue to believe in yourself in whatever your one word is. I'll see you again tomorrow morning for another shot of espresso.
<LYRICS>I wake up every morning, espresso keep me going.</LYRICS> I am a firm believer in what you put out in the universe comes back to you.
Yeah.
You know, even if it's as crazy as I have this dream car that I want, or maybe it's not materialistic, maybe it's like I just want perfect health and I want to fall in love and I want this and that, my family, you know, if you put it out there, it will come back to you in return. And I think it's just whether it's the universe, God, like whatever you believe in, I think that if you put that energy out there, it definitely comes back. And it's pretty crazy. I had a night where I was just like frustrated, and I was like, you know, I've been working hard. It's been about 6 months or whatever since Skyscraper came out, or maybe even like 8 months. And I was just like, I'm so frustrated, like I'm not where I want to be. And I just released Give Your Heart a Break, and I just remember just, I was like, you know what, God, like, this is all for you. Like, I'm just, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna work hard, blah blah blah. 10 days later, I literally got the phone call from Simon. Woman cowl asking if I wanted to be a judge.
There's something that you can do in your own way tonight. You can validate others, empower others, increase the net happiness, the positivity in the world. I mean, it could be as simple as your family's going to have dinner tonight, and you go to a restaurant, and you see someone do something great. And too often, we kind of just sit back and say, oh, that was good. That was good service. Maybe you give an extra tip. You're at work, or you see a colleague who goes above and beyond, and you say, oh, that was pretty good. They did a nice thing. And what I hope— and this is something that I tell myself all the time— is don't just sit by and observe it. Recognize it. When you see someone do something great, tell them about it. Tell their bosses about it. Tell their family about it. And when you do that, all sorts of neat, exciting things are going to start percolating into the universe. Obviously, you're going to make that person's day. You're going to make their year. You might make their career. I've seen it happen before. You probably, in some way, will make their life. Even more, they're gonna start doing that ultra-positive thing more. The people around them are going to see the recognition they got for it, and they're going to start emulating it. And even though that wasn't your intent, you just wanted to highlight something good that's happening in the world, people will recognize that you are a source of positivity. And when you're a source of positivity, people will just naturally gravitate to you.
When you learn to relate to yourself, again, you have these, like, low self-image or bad self-talk. And, you know, again, that's a lot of that is just burning away the bullshit. Like, guys are like, I can't stop having these limiting beliefs, or I can't stop feeling bad about myself. It's like, you can. It's just you have to slowly do it. You have to, you have to slowly build it up. Positivity is a muscle that you slowly build up and you build them up. So that's the same. Kind of thing, right? Is you have to throw yourself into the fire at the next paradigm until you become the person who you want to be.
Let me give you the one word secret to happiness. One word.
This is all you need to be happy. The most important word ever. If you had to think of one word that's most important to you, or that sums you up, or that would be kind of like a little beacon. Hey, Believe Nation, if you want to know what the most important important one word is for Tony Robbins, Gary Vaynerchuk, Oprah Winfrey, will.i.am, and Howard Schultz, I have a very special secret video for you. Check the description for details.
