Long time listener

I’ve been a long time listener i came across ET when i was going through a divorce back in 2012. Growing up, we were taught learn to listen and follow the Holy Ghost when you feel it. I would hear et speak and I would definitely feel that spirit I knew these were real messages. I got involved with you guys and applied a lot of the stuff I learned in my life and got through a lot and made a lot of great things happen. For some reason I got distracted and stopped being involved with the ETA family and That took me down a learning path and why it’s important to be involved with positive people. After going through another loss, I had the feelings to start listening to the podcast and YouTube videos again. I feel that same spirit guiding me and instead of denying it I’m listening to it. For the longest time I had this feeling of leaving a review and sharing with you guys that you helped me out a lot, but never did till now. I just wanted to say thank you ET, CJ and Karl you all have helped me get through a-lot my sons even know when I’m listening to you and how you all put a positive impact on my life. I appreciate you guys and keep doing your thing. Much love and blessings ❤️🙏🏽 Moy

Controversial 50/50 topic

I love this podcast. It brings a lot of light into my life and drives me out of darkness. But I will say the past two episodes have been a little controversial and I find it hard for me to agree with this topic. With inflation being the way it is, no matter how much money you make, I think your spouse should help. It’s a partnership. It doesn’t necessarily have to be 50/50, but men need help too.

Awesome Podcast!!!

Mindset.

For the mindset, I’m in right now. This podcast by the grace of God came into my life. I can’t be more thankful for this podcast. For helping me mentally developed my grind. Physically the grind is on me. But hearing these words from people that have the grind is helping me internally.

Extreme gratitude

First I’m going to say thank you to each and everyone of you good black men ! I don’t know how you’ll manage to put together such a powerful group but then I do. You’ll literally were made for one another it seem like and that’s hard to find these days and a true gift from GOD. The wisdom that you have given me thus far and it haven’t been but about a couple months is unmatched. Betting my bottom dollar that I’ll be the millionth life that you’ve changed massively so thank you in advance.

Top Tier

“The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few.” This podcast is creating laborers, molding mindsets, and bringing truth. I started listening to this podcast around 2021. And I could literally see a change in the way I think and operate. Then “life happened” & I stopped and started drifting back into old habits such as laziness, discouragement, frustration, doubt. And so I pushed myself to listen again. At that point things were not in line financially and there was talk about financial prosperity & being millionaires/billionaires. But due to my mindset it made me discouraged like I can’t do that— I won’t get there. So I stopped listening again. Today is the first time I have listened in months. But I am so happy that I did. This S.O.L. Podcast really spoke to me such as my circle, my losses, moments I felt cheated and even started to compare my success to others negatively. Thanks so much for the sacrifice to speak to us. This is so much more than a podcast.

Best podcast in the world for go-getters!

I have been watching this podcast for about a year now and when I tell you it has changed my life. The knowledge and gems ET, CJ, Karl and Jamal drop is priceless! What really get me is the transparency from each of them and how well they showcase authenticity. Blessing to have this high level of value to look forward to every single week. Thank you all

Amazing

The motivation and inspiration I need for everyday

GPOAT!!

This is the greatest podcast of all time in my opinion. The message is always so powerful. Sparks all kinds of reflective thoughts from the practical and real world applications/examples given. The passion hits me in the gut. The S.O.L. Episode just really resonated with me on another level too. This group, this podcast, and the entire movement ET has been on for years is more than remarkable. It just hit me that I’ve been staying locked in with ET for over 10 years and the pod, TGIM, and more has carried me through every high and low without ever losing its effect‼️

This podcast has played a huge role in my renewing of my mind. I recommend to people any chance I get! I have became a better student,entrepreneur, and man because of this. I pray God continues to have favor on the whole ETA squad and I am thankful to be a fly on the wall into their conversations.

Life Changing

If this podcast does not change your mindset you’re simply not applying what it is that you hear. This has been a life changing podcast for me in every aspect of my life. It’s like medical medicine

Life Changer

This podcast will change your life. Period. I’ve listened to every single show and I’m in the process of listening to all of them for a second time. God has blessed these individuals with so much knowledge and wisdom. I am so thankful that they have been obedient to the calling and purpose on their lives. ET, Karl, CJ, and Jamal are executing at the highest level humanly possible and their not slowing down anytime soon. They have helped me become a better husband, father, brother, son, friend, working professional and servant. Do yourself a favor. Change your life with one listen.

Hidden Gem

I don’t know how I stumbled across this podcast but I’m glad I did! Definitely good to hear from men who are not only successful in life but are spiritual and know who God is. I love listening to the fellas, always a good laugh and a good lesson in every episode. I’m sure I’ll have listened to all of the episodes in the next month lol Keep it up !

- 120 Received.

I been following the ETA movement since I first heard ETs message thru word of mouf. I met ET in The Land in 2016. Only now Can I say that the 120 message was received. I was in school at the time and The Movement is what helped me graduate. I’m just now starting to listen to the podcast and I had to start from the beginning and I absolutely LOVE the nuggets y’all drop. I’m so behind on time but it’s only right to go back to the start. I’m about to be 32 and I’m back in school with you guys back in my ear, daily. I have a 19 year old brother I’m trying to groom to shift his thinking & give him the advantage in having forethought that I didn’t have at his age. He is definitely my biggest challenge. Long time coming but I’m so grateful y’all are still at it. Much love✊🏾

Powerful, Helpful & Real

These men drop gems every week! Also, it’s very great to have a clean podcast. It’s hard to find that these days.

Thank you.

I’ve been a fan for years now. I came across ET playing high school ball when as bad as you want to breathe dropped. Heading into my senior year of high school I had no purpose and no vision. I’ve went through a lot in my life, we’ll catch up that later, but I stayed listening to the podcast into college and even though I went homeless, thought I lost sports and was at a point where I thought I’d never get a degree, Now I am a mentor in my community nominated for awards and building communities within my community. I don’t say that to brag k say that to say thank you for all of your wisdom and real life examples of how your keys to delivers work. They’ve done wonders in my life and I’m trying to get others to tap into you all and have been for years. They know your brand but few know about the podcast and how influential it could be in their lives. I plan to change that. Keep doing you all. Thanks for saving my life. -Yvngn

BEST PODCAST OUT. Simple.

Best self help podcast out here. They cover every possible topic that conveys “success” all of the characteristics of a successful life. Not just how to get the bag, not just how to hustle. How to be a better person, how to build strong character. How to be a better wife/husband, brother/sister, employee/employer. Any and every aspect of success is covered in the show. Most consistent show out.

Has and continues to hold us down.

Man I have been listening to you guys for years now. Let me say im a 25 year old male working im a steel mill. I have worked anywhere from 8 hours to 16 hour shifts. Listening to you guys has kept me solid in my work mindset for the last 3 years. I apologize for such a late review but for the longest I’ve been stuck on what i should say. I wont make this long so let me say this. Thank you for your commitment to us & the podcast !

I can, I will, I must!!

Great podcast!! Just recently started listening to “The Secret To Success” podcast but have been listening to ET and some of his videos on YouTube and other podcast before. This podcast is great, I’m loving every episode. To hear about the things ET and crew have been doing in the past just makes seeing and hearing their achievements/accomplishments in present time more motivational. Keep doing work!!
