    287: Why High Achievers Sabotage Their Relationships (And How To Fix It) with Stefanos Sifandos
    2026/04/23
    For many high achievers, success in business doesn’t always translate to success at home. I’ve seen many entrepreneurs build successful companies, generate life-changing wealth, and yet still struggle in their marriages and relationships. Often, it’s because the same drive that fuels success is the very thing creating distance in the relationships that matter most.This pattern is something Stefanos Sifandos understands well. As a relationship expert, speaker, and bestselling author, he has spent over two decades helping high-performing individuals master their inner world. His newest book, Tuned In and Turned On, offers a blueprint for healing the hurts in relationships. Through his work in emotional intelligence and relational dynamics, Stefanos helps entrepreneurs and leaders uncover the hidden patterns that shape how they show up in life and love.In our conversation, Stefanos explains how success often compensates for unresolved internal struggles, how chronic stress impairs communication and connection at home, and how high performers subtly sabotage their relationships through control and avoidance. He also offers practical ways to build emotional resilience, improve presence, and deepen relationships without sacrificing ambition or success.In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why many high achievers struggle in relationships despite being incredibly successful professionally.✅ How emotional regulation directly impacts leadership, communication, connection, and how a simple stillness practice can help you build it.✅ The hidden patterns of control and avoidance that quietly sabotage relationships and marriages.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/287Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

    2026/04/16
    Building wealth and keeping it requires different skills, and many entrepreneurs fail to realize it before it’s too late. The same instincts that create wealth can sabotage your ability to preserve or grow it after a big exit.Michael Sonnenfeldt is the founder of Tiger 21, a global peer network of ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurs with over 1,800 members with more than $250 billion in combined assets.

    282: From a 9-Figure Exit to Inspiring the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs with Scott Lingle
    2026/03/19
    Building a successful career in the corporate world and reaching the pinnacle isn’t easy. Walking away from that success, with four kids and looming college bills, to bet on yourself is even harder. Most people never make that leap. Fewer still build companies that exit for eight or nine figures while pursuing a life of freedom, faith, and long-term impact. That’s exactly what today’s guest did.After two decades at UnitedHealthcare, Scott Lingle made a pivot into entrepreneurship later in life, launched multiple healthcare tech companies, and had two exits — including one for nine figures in 2024. But what makes Scott’s story compelling isn’t just the financial outcome. It’s how he built businesses that didn’t depend on him, positioning him to shift from wealth creation to legacy and impact.In our conversation, we dive into his pivot toward impact, from launching High School Hustle to mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs, and how his faith was a compass that shaped his decisions along the way.In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ The leadership decision that allowed him to scale without sacrificing his time and sanity.✅ How finding a way to replace yourself as the top salesperson leads to exponential business growth and unlocks financial freedom.✅ Why Scott believes that using the 3% rule to invest in your personal development is the best money you’ll ever spend.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/282Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

  • 281: How to Avoid Leaving Millions on the Table When Selling Your Business with Stephen Scoggins

    281: How to Avoid Leaving Millions on the Table When Selling Your Business with Stephen Scoggins
    2026/03/12
    It’s crazy when you think about it, but less than 1% of entrepreneurs ever sell their companies. Even fewer do it intentionally, strategically, and on their terms. If you’re building a business without preparing for a future exit, you may be leaving millions on the table or worse, creating a company that can’t function without you.Stephen Scoggins knows this firsthand. He is a speaker, author, and host of the Build podcast who created multiple companies — including one that grew to nine figures in annual revenue and successfully exited in 2023. But his story isn’t just about a financial win. It’s about faith, leadership, identity, and learning how to structure a business so it can scale beyond you and create meaning and purpose in your life.You’ll hear what Stephen believes most entrepreneurs get wrong about selling their business, and the tax strategies he’s now implementing after a massive liquidity event. We also dive deep into his journey from sleeping in his car to building companies that employ hundreds — and how faith shaped every turning point along the way.In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why most entrepreneurs wait too long to prepare their business for sale and what Stephen recommends for runway time prior to an exit.✅ How quality of earnings can dramatically impact your final valuation and why buyers use it to justify lowering your multiple.✅ The difference between asset sales versus stock sales and why an F reorganization can have a dramatic impact on value.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/281Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.
