In this powerful episode of The Own It Show, Justin Rothlinghofer sits down with New York Times bestselling author and financial disruptor Garrett Gunderson to explore the profound connection between mindset and wealth across all areas of life. Garrett shares his deeply personal journey from growing up in a scarcity-driven family where fear dominated financial decisions to experiencing a life-threatening health crisis that forced him to confront how stress and limiting beliefs were literally destroying his body. Through vulnerable storytelling, he reveals how operating from scarcity doesn't just limit our bank accounts—it infiltrates our relationships, health, and ability to serve others at the highest level.

The conversation dives into the transformative shift from "playing to win" versus "win and play," where Garrett explains that when we're living our God-given purpose, we've already won because the victory is in the work itself, not some future outcome. Justin and Garrett explore practical frameworks for recognizing scarcity patterns, the power of speaking our hidden money stories out loud, and why you literally "can't shrink your way to wealth." This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to break free from limiting beliefs that keep them from stewarding their resources—financial, physical, and relational—with the abundance mindset required for true impact and legacy.

In this episode of The Own it Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer explores the concept of winning, challenging the conventional definitions that equate success with results. He emphasizes the importance of the journey, personal growth, and the process over mere outcomes. Through personal anecdotes and stories of others, he illustrates how true fulfillment comes from commitment to health and living differently. The conversation culminates in a call to action for listeners to redefine their understanding of winning and to embrace a holistic approach to health and life.

Winning is about the journey, not just the destination.
The world has misdefined winning as results-oriented.
Personal growth and inspiration are key to true success.
Commitment to health is essential for overall well-being.
Living differently is necessary to achieve true fulfillment.
The process of growth is more important than the outcome.
You must own your health to win in life.
Success is not just about achievements, but about the journey.
True victory comes from within, not from external validation.
Creating a movement for holistic health can transform lives.
