Discipline Precedes Purpose | The EDGE Protocol

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Raul Villacis, founder and CEO of The EDGE Program and The Next Level Experience, to unpack the exact mindset, purpose, discipline, and execution framework that top performers use to break through stagnation and unlock greater success in business and life. Raul shares his personal journey from achieving material success and feeling empty inside to discovering the deeper psychological and emotional roots of clarity, discipline, and purpose. After building a multimillion-dollar real estate firm and living what many would call “the dream,” Raul found himself facing a personal crisis driven by long-standing internal pain. It was this crisis—unexplained emotional discomfort and burnout—that led him to create The EDGE Protocol, a system designed to help high-achieving men regain clarity, mental strength, and peak performance. In this powerful conversation, Raul breaks down: The EDGE mindset — how to turn pain and fear into fuel for success Why high achievers often lose clarity despite outward success How discipline precedes purpose and performance The EDGE 100 Challenge — accomplishing more in 100 days than most do in a year How to structure daily habit accountability and peak performance systems Why association, accountability, and action plans are essential for elite leadership The role of masculine identity, legacy, and personal empowerment in leadership Raul also shares practical frameworks for overcoming self-sabotage, interrupting negative subconscious patterns, and sustaining peak performance across business, relationships, health, and influence. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, founder, executive, or high-achieving professional, this episode delivers actionable strategies to help you unlock your EDGE and lead with intention. 🔗 Links & Resources 📌 Get Intro to the Stock Market 👉 https://www.skool.com/going-public-with-ross-mandell-7131 📲 Follow Ross Mandell on Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/rossmandell/ 📲 Follow Raul on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/raultheedge/
