Halfway through the year, I hit a wall—too much on my plate, pressure piling up, and things didn’t go as planned. But that’s where the real growth happened. I’m walking through what I learned when burnout nearly broke me… how I recalibrated, reset, and built back stronger. I share the mindset shift, the 3S framework that helped me refocus, and why simplifying your path is sometimes the key to unlocking greatness. If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or feel like you're spinning in place—this episode is for you.

Key Topics:

• The Breakthrough on the Edge of Burnout: how chaos revealed clarity
• The 3S Framework: Simple. Schedule. Stakes.
• Why Most People Waste Effort on Low-Value Tasks
• Intentional Attention & Why Presence is a Gift

In this episode, I dive deep into what personal development actually means. I break down my 5-Step Personal Development Pyramid and the 3S Solution I use in my coaching program to help people stop spinning their wheels and start building the habits, systems, and mindset their future demands. Whether you're just starting or trying to take it to the next level, this is about becoming the person your goals require. Let’s build you, one layer at a time.

Key Topics:

• Defining personal development as the intentional process of becoming who your future demands.
• The 5-step Personal Development Pyramid for building long-term growth.
• The 3S Solution—Simple, Schedule, and Stakes—as a framework for starting and sustaining change.
• How small, consistent habits like 10 minutes a day can compound into lifelong transformation.

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Nate Saxton for his third and most transformative appearance on the show. We go deep into what it really takes to grow—personally, professionally, and spiritually—while navigating the chaos that comes with building a life on your own terms. We cover everything from managing people, systems, and self, to detaching from outcomes, staying grounded, and facing the fear that stands between you and the life you're meant to build. This one hits different—because Nate’s not just talking about it... he’s living it.

Key Topics:

• Building with intention, not ego
• Leadership & accountability
• Personal growth & identity
• Living the dream, not just chasing It
