How to Level Up SO Fast You Need to Reintroduce Yourself in 2026

About this video

Martell argues you cannot outperform your internal ‘code’ — beliefs and programming written by fear and family — and offers three ways to reprogram it. First, reset your thermostat: he says after two failed companies, mentor Bob helped his company Spheric reach almost a million in revenue in 12 months, but he then stayed stuck around a million for almost another year because a million felt like ‘a lot’; the fix is to make the old high the new low, illustrated with oscillating between 150 and 160 pounds. He contrasts running on dark energy (proving people wrong, escaping not-enoughness) with light energy and expansion, which he credits for growth in net worth and relationships, including meeting his wife Renee. Second, awareness breaks automation: he claims most people repeat 98% of thoughts and actions daily like NPCs, and ’the moment you can see the pattern, you stop being the pattern.’ His main tool is constantly asking for feedback — weekly from Renee, his kids and his team — calling feedback his fuel and oxygen, and rating himself each Friday on seven pillars out of 10, then acting on the two lowest scores. Third, rewrite or repeat: everyone runs a primary question that drives values, beliefs and actions; his rewritten question is ‘How can I appreciate even more God’s grace and guidance in this moment?’ Questions, he says, are the programming language of the mind.

Key takeaways

• You cannot outperform your code: beliefs set by fear and family act as a thermostat ceiling on income and behaviour
• Make the old high the new low so you keep acting as if you have not yet arrived
• Awareness breaks automation: seeing a pattern is the first step to no longer being run by it
• Use feedback as fuel: ask your spouse, kids and team regularly, and rate the seven pillars each Friday, acting on the two lowest
• Rewrite your primary question — Martell’s is about appreciating God’s grace and guidance in this moment — or you will repeat the same loop
