Welcome to the Blow Your Mind(set) Podcast — where ordinary moments meet extraordinary mindset shifts. 🎙️


In a world that’s noisy, messy, and constantly moving, we slow things down just enough to ask: "Did that really just happen?"


I’m your host, Nicole Smith — emotional intelligence expert, mindset disruptor, and your favorite thought partner in this wild ride we call leadership and life.


Every episode, we crack open the stories, shifts, and surprises that challenge how we think, lead, and show up. From boardrooms to breakups, social trends to self-talk, we’re unpacking it all through the lens of emotional brilliance.


You’ll hear powerful solo episodes and unfiltered conversations with game-changers, thought leaders, and real people doing the inner work. No fluff. Just real talk, real insight, and a real push to think differently.


Whether you're navigating a personal pivot or leading in high-pressure spaces — this is your space to reset, reframe, and blow your mindset wide open.


Let’s get into it.

    What happens when mindset, faith, and emotional intelligence collide? You get this raw, powerful episode featuring Robert Collins—motivational speaker, community leader, and author of Greater Thoughts: The Untrapped Mind.

    We go deep.

    Here’s what you’ll hear:

    • Why Robert walked away from his 15-year career with no exit plan—and what happened next
    • How attending a speaker’s conference turned into a spiritual revival (including a surprise baptism!)
    • The real reason his original book idea got scrapped—and how Greater Thoughts was born in the shower
    • His method for reframing negative thoughts before they spiral into emotional avalanches
    • How journaling, silence, and gratitude became his armor in life and leadership
    • Why unprocessed trauma shows up in how you parent, lead, and love—and how to stop passing it on

    We talk faith. We talk neuroscience. We talk EQ. And we don’t hold back.

    If you’re ready to shift your mindset and start living from a deeper, more emotionally grounded place, this episode is for you.

    In this bold and emotionally charged episode of Blow Your Mindset, we welcome former NFL player turned nonprofit leader Tony Covington, founder of I Am Underdog, Inc. – a mentoring powerhouse transforming the lives of student-athletes through life skills, mental wellness, and emotional intelligence.

    💥 Tony shares raw truths about the racial climate, the power of community, and what it means to truly chase greatness – not fame. From redefining “underdog” to discussing the invisible pressures on young Black men, this conversation challenges cultural norms and unearths how vulnerability, mindset shifts, and purpose-driven leadership can shape resilient, emotionally intelligent future leaders.

    🔑 What You’ll Take Away:

    • Why mindset, not muscle, determines greatness
    • How Tony helps students develop plans beyond the 1% shot at the NFL
    • What Black men really need in the mental wellness space
    • The 3 things you can control (and how they shape your future)
    • Nicole’s powerful reminder: Don’t settle for good when great is calling

    🗣️ “You can’t cheat the process—you have to love the process.”
    🔥 “There’s a long line to be good. But the line to be great? That’s where the work begins.”

    🎧 Tune in to hear how one man’s pivot turned into a global purpose—and why it might be time to sign your own pledge to become an underdog on purpose.
