How to Escape Mediocrity with HigherUp Wellness (Michael Smoak)

This week I sat down with Michael Smoak, entrepreneur, content creator, and the man behind one of the most honest transformations on the internet. Once known as “Sloppy Smoak,” Michael was living below his potential, undisciplined, unfocused, and disconnected from who he truly was. But through extreme ownership, faith, and the daily decision to do hard things, he rebuilt himself from the inside out. In this episode, we dive deep into what real confidence is, not affirmations or fake hype, but evidence-based confidence earned through keeping promises to yourself. Michael opens up about how shame became his wake-up call, the identity shift that comes with doing uncomfortable things, and the spiritual growth that comes from taking full responsibility for your life. We explore what it really means to change, the psychology behind self-mastery, the tension between vulnerability and strength, and how redefining masculinity starts with telling yourself the truth. This conversation is for anyone who’s tired of feeling stuck, searching for direction, or ready to become the kind of person their younger self needed. 🎯 Access the tools, offers, and ways to work with me: https://stan.store/deepaksharma 📲 Enjoyed the episode?
