What if the business you've worked so hard to build is actually holding you back from the life you want?

In this episode, I'm doing something a little different. I'm sharing a conversation where I was interviewed by Brian Keene on his podcast.

We talk about the moment, at 40, when I thought I was having a heart attack at my desk, and how that experience eventually led me to completely rethink the way I ran my business.

We get into the mistakes I made, the importance of culture and leadership, and how I built an eight-figure business that no longer depends on me.

But we also go deeper, exploring the psychology behind success, why financial freedom doesn't necessarily bring peace of mind, and how our fears and insecurities can drive us to achieve more without ever feeling it's enough.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why you might be the biggest bottleneck in your business

• How to build a business that runs without you

• The importance of culture, leadership and letting go of control

• The difference between delegating and abdicating

• Why financial freedom and time freedom don't guarantee emotional freedom

• What really drives our ambition and how we define success

Ultimately, it's a conversation about building a successful business without sacrificing your health, relationships or happiness along the way.
