In this powerful and inspiring episode of Eye Level to High Level™, host Jimmy Rios sits down with Charisse Pigott for a real, honest conversation about mindset, grit, and what it truly takes to move from Eye Level thinking to a High Level life.
Jimmy opens the episode by explaining the mission behind Eye Level to High Level™ — helping people break free from self-limiting beliefs and realize that success, financial freedom, and personal growth are achievable when you shift your mindset and commit to daily action.
Charisse shares her journey from Pocomoke City, Maryland, to serving in the United States Marine Corps and later the Army National Guard, before building a career in journalism and media — a dream she’s had since she was 10 years old. Along the way, she opens up about fear, resistance from loved ones, and the defining moments that built her resilience.
This episode dives deep into the power of small daily wins, the importance of routines, and how focusing on one day at a time can completely change your life — a concept echoed in Atomic Habits and reinforced through real-life experience.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
What Eye Level to High Level™ really means — beyond money
Lessons in discipline and grit from military life
Why focusing on one day down helps eliminate overwhelm
How small goals and daily routines compound into big results
The courage it takes to stand firm in your decisions — even when family doubts you
How faith, purpose, and perseverance fuel long-term success
How Charisse created opportunities in media through resourcefulness
Advice to anyone feeling stuck: keep going, no matter what it looks like
This conversation is a reminder that growth doesn’t happen overnight — it happens through daily discipline, mindset shifts, and refusing to quit, even when the path feels uncomfortable.
Part 2 of this conversation will focus on leadership and impact.
