Every entrepreneur dreams of freedom, the kind where your business grows, your team thrives, and your calendar finally breathes. But for most high-performing leaders, that dream starts to feel more like a trap. The harder you push, the more control you lose. The faster you grow, the more chaotic things get. In this episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, host Sean Meyers sits down with Bryce Moore, Certified EOS Implementer, business coach, and trusted advisor to visionaries across the country. Together, they unpack what really happens when the business you built starts running you, and the systems that can set you free. Bryce shares his own journey from burnout and bottlenecks to breakthrough and balance, revealing the real reason most leaders get stuck. It’s not about talent. It’s not about effort. It’s about structure. When your vision outpaces your systems, chaos fills the gap, and that’s when leaders start losing the joy that got them started in the first place. Through raw honesty and powerful takeaways, Bryce and Sean break down: The six core components of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and why every leader needs them. How to recognize when you’ve become your company’s biggest bottleneck, and how to step out of your own way. The mindset shift from “doing it all” to building a team that scales your vision. Why leadership without clarity leads to exhaustion, and how to fix it without losing momentum. How to build a business that actually runs without you, so you can lead with purpose, not pressure. This is more than a framework. It’s a wake-up call for every visionary, business owner, and leader who knows they were made for more but feels buried by their own success. If you’ve ever felt trapped inside the empire you built, this episode will help you find the blueprint to break free, reclaim your focus, and finally lead from a place of peace, not panic. Tune in and start running your business, instead of letting it run you.

Welcome to the Level Up and Live Podcast, where your host, Sean Meyers, helps business owners design a life they won’t regret without sacrificing their health, relationships, or spirituality. In this episode, Sean sits down with Ariel Shacklovitz, the sales and finance manager at Revolution Power Sports, a wife, and a mother of five. In this episode, Ariel shares her inspiring journey from being told "girls can't sell motorcycles" to becoming a top Harley-Davidson salesperson. Now, she's a leader at Revolution Power Sports, guiding a team of more than 10 people with a "watch me" attitude. Discover how Ariel balances the demands of being a mom of five with her leadership role, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and making family a priority. She also reveals the crucial life lesson her kids have taught her: patience. You'll learn how this lesson has transformed her leadership style and helped her build a strong, unified team. Ariel also pulls back the curtain on Revolution Power Sports' unique hiring process, which focuses on finding the right culture fit, not just a good resume. She explains why the company is a leader in its industry and how its core values drive everything from customer interactions to internal team dynamics. This conversation is packed with wisdom for any business owner, emerging leader, or parent looking to find a better balance and build a life they truly love.

Key Takeaways:

Turn Criticism into Motivation: Ariel's journey began when a friend told her girls couldn't sell motorcycles. Instead of being discouraged, she took it as a personal challenge, proving her critics wrong and becoming a top salesperson. This highlights the power of using negative comments as fuel to achieve your goals. Prioritize People Over Profit: A core part of Ariel's success is her commitment to a culture built around family. She makes a point not to miss her children's important events and encourages her team to do the same. This creates a supportive environment where employees feel valued, which in turn boosts morale and productivity. Patience is a Leadership Superpower: Ariel credits her children with teaching her the value of patience. She applies this lesson to her team, understanding that everyone learns and works at their own pace. By meeting people where they are, she helps them grow and contributes to a healthier, more productive workplace. The Power of Self-Awareness: Ariel's success stems from her journey of self-discovery, learning what gives her energy versus what depletes it. She encourages others to find their purpose by identifying what they love to do and aligning their professional lives with those passions. Hire for Culture, Not Just Skills: Revolution Power Sports has built an extensive hiring process that weeds out candidates who may be good on paper but aren't the right cultural fit. This dedication to finding people who believe in the company’s vision and core values has created a cohesive, high-performing team.
