What if the very mindset and drive that made you successful in your early career is the same thing holding you back now?

In this episode of The Secret Sauce Podcast, Chad and Lacey unpack one of the most emotional — and liberating — transitions in any high performer’s journey: the pivot from achievement to fulfillment.

Whether you're feeling a subtle nudge or a full-on identity crisis, this episode explores what it looks like to climb your “second mountain,” drawing inspiration from the book From Strength to Strength, personal experiences, and even a bit of Darwin.

In this episode, we cover:

-The two types of intelligence (fluid vs. crystallized) and why your value shifts with time

-The emotional signs that you’ve outgrown your first mountain

-How clinging to past success can block your next evolution

-Why mentorship, coaching, and teaching can be more fulfilling than achievement

-Three reflection questions to help you identify your next mountain

Ask yourself:

-What am I clinging to that’s no longer working?

-Who could benefit from my hard-earned wisdom?

-What part of my life could be richer if I stopped chasing and started teaching?

This isn’t just for entrepreneurs or mortgage pros — it’s for anyone who’s been grinding for a while and quietly wondering, “What’s next?”
