Building Mindset Muscle with Elan Gelfand

Elan Gelfand is a 20-year-old podcast host, mindset enthusiast, and the driving force behind the "Abundant Thinking" podcast. Inspired by his mother's resilience through challenging times, Elan channels his passion for learning, personal development, and financial independence into creating environments where wisdom from all walks of life is shared. Despite his young age, he’s already amassed over 100 episodes focused on turning ordinary mindsets into extraordinary breakthroughs, tapping into deep conversations with high-achieving individuals to uncover the mindset frameworks behind success. With a relentless optimism and a commitment to consistency, Elan brings fresh perspectives on growth, pressure, and carving out one’s purpose.

Takeaways:

Purpose is Personal and Evolving: Elan’s story demonstrates that finding your “why” often comes from personal hardship and a desire to support others—particularly family. Staying connected to this purpose provides the resilience needed to weather challenges.
Consistency Breeds Progress: Both Elan and Mick stress that success isn’t about quick wins but steady action. Setting contracts with yourself and sticking to long-term goals helps turn vision into reality—even when immediate results aren’t visible.
Learning is a Superpower: Elan’s journey shows the importance of being curious, seeking wisdom from others, and constantly asking questions. Whether in leadership or personal growth, learning from experience and from mentors is key.

About this Show

Mick Unplugged

Everybody talks about your WHY. Mick Hunt goes deeper. Mick Unplugged is the leadership and personal growth podcast built on one idea: your BECAUSE is the purpose underneath your purpose, and it is the most powerful force you own. Hosted by Mick Hunt, USA Today bestselling author and the voice of Modern Leadership, every episode sits across from a high performer, founder, athlete, or culture-shaper and asks the one question they cannot fake an answer to. What is your BECAUSE? Past guests include Shark Tank stars Daymond John and Kevin O'Leary, entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, motivational legend Les Brown, Chef Robert Irvine, comedians Rickey Smiley and Earthquake, NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen, hospitality mogul David Grutman, and World Series champion Jeremy Guthrie. No scripts. No surface-level fluff. Just the real fire behind why they refused to quit. If you are a leader, an entrepreneur, or someone who is done coasting on motivational quotes, this is your show. You will walk away every week with mindset shifts, leadership strategy, and the kind of straight talk that actually moves you forward. New episodes drop weekly. Follow Mick Unplugged on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube so you never miss one. Your BECAUSE is your Superpower. Go Unleash It.
