100xLife Podcast

Rob Dayton sits down with Craig Filippone, CPA and three-time 100xLife participant, whose life shifted from burnout and pressure to freedom, clarity, and deeper connection with God.

Craig shares how daily obedience reshaped the way he thinks, leading to real change in his work, health, and relationships without sacrificing success. What used to feel exhausting now feels purposeful and sustainable.

This conversation breaks down the connection between self-control and self-leadership, and why both start with taking ownership of your thoughts. Craig also unpacks how journaling opened the door to hearing God’s voice, and how building a real relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit changes everything.

If you feel stuck in cycles of stress, distraction, or lack of discipline, this episode will push you to stop waiting and start leading your mind.

You’ll hear:
  •  Why self-control starts with how you think 
  •  How repetition rewires your brain 
  •  The role of journaling in hearing God 
  •  What it means to relate to the Trinity daily 
  •  Why discipline leads to freedom 
  •  How to keep momentum after the challenge 
  •  The power of daily gratitude 
  •  How your body reflects your habits

Ryan Ellis
Grammy Nominated, California native Ryan Ellis released his hit song “Heart of the Father” in 2022 and reached #2 on both the Christian Airplay and Christian AC Airplay charts. He’s penned songs such as “Resurrection Power” by Chris Tomlin, which earned him a GMA Dove Award nomination and ASCAP’s “Most Performed Song” award in 2018. Housefires’ “I Thank God” featuring Ryan, was a multi-chart #1 for 10 consecutive weeks. Accolade, however, is not the fuel of Ellis’ fire. “I’m a devoted husband and father first,” he says. “I have a deep love for Jesus and the way songs draw people in to experience Him, to be inspired and encouraged and ultimately to let them know that they are loved”.
