The Morning Dig Hosted by Chris Williams
What if five minutes could shift the way you show up for the entire week?
I launched The Morning Dig in 2023 as my first podcast. I wanted to create a space where I could share quick, meaningful thoughts to help you reset, refocus, and keep digging in, especially when life feels heavy or unclear.
Every Monday, I release a short episode centered on leadership, mindset, and personal growth. Some are less than five minutes, some are a little longer, but each one is rooted in real experience and built to help you move into your week with clarity and intention.
This podcast was born out of my own journey through burnout, realignment, and learning how to lead without losing myself. I’m not here to give you all the answers. I’m here to share what I’ve lived, what I’ve learned, and what I’m still working through.
If you’re building something meaningful and trying to stay aligned with what matters, you’re in the right place.
Start your week with purpose, not pressure.

Why Your Words Matter: Transforming Negative Self-Talk.
Have you ever felt trapped by the labels others put on you—or worse, the ones you put on yourself?
Labels can feel like a heavy box, keeping you stuck unable to move forward.
Welcome to the 8th episode of The Morning Dig Podcast, where we explore the power of self-talk, self-perception, and the impact of our labels.
In this episode, we reflect on the lessons from a powerful mastermind experience, Tactical Empire—a space to grow as fathers, husbands, and action-takers working toward true freedom. But beyond the lessons shared by others, this episode dives deeper into an essential realization: the labels we assign to ourselves often hold us back more than anything else.
Whether it's calling yourself "lazy," "disorganized," or "not good enough," these words shape how you see yourself and how you act. Labels can create mental barriers, restricting movement and vision, like being stuck in an unmovable box.
But the good news? The way we speak to ourselves has the power to change everything.
Through personal experiences and a fresh perspective, we’ll discuss how shifting negative self-labels to empowering ones can open up new possibilities. Instead of being defined by limitations, we can choose words that reflect the person we want to become. It’s not about ignoring flaws but adjusting the narrative to focus on growth, action, and possibility.

This episode will resonate if you’ve ever felt stuck or caught in a cycle of self-doubt. Tune in to learn how small changes in how you speak to yourself can lead to big transformations in your life.
