What if every budget you've ever "failed" wasn't your fault at all?

Here's the truth they don't want you to know: Your budget isn't broken. Your willpower isn't weak. Your body is literally hijacking your financial decisions to protect you from perceived danger.

In this episode, Amanda exposes the invisible force that's been sabotaging even the smartest, most capable people ... and it has nothing to do with discipline.

You'll discover:

• Why your brain goes offline the moment you open your bank account (and what's really happening in your nervous system)
• The shocking research: financial stress drops your IQ by 13 points—you're literally making decisions with a handicapped brain
• How your "Financial Nervous System" mistakes budget reviews for life-threatening danger
• Why all the spreadsheets, apps, and perfect plans in the world can't override biology

Key Quote: "You can have perfect financial knowledge, flawless systems, and iron discipline, but if your nervous system interprets financial management as dangerous, it will override everything. Every. Single. Time."

This isn't a character flaw. This is biology working against your bank account.

And once you understand it, everything changes.

🎧 Listen now. This episode will flip every "failure" story you've been telling yourself.

In this episode, Brandon sits down with Justin Lund, entrepreneur, operator, and the brains behind Propel, to talk about what it really takes to scale without sacrificing your sanity.

Justin’s story isn’t your typical business bio. He’s built companies, sold them, lost tens of millions in a legal storm, and came back stronger. His personal journey through addiction recovery and professional reinvention makes this conversation raw, real, and ridiculously insightful.

We cover:

✅ Why financial strategy isn’t just about numbers—it’s about freedom

✅ The “Freedom Flywheel”: mindset, systems, and delegation as the keys to scaling

✅ Smart ways to protect your business legally before disaster strikes

✅ How to build systems before hiring, so delegation doesn’t turn into chaos

✅ The role of limiting beliefs in holding you back (and how to break through them)

✅ Real examples of entrepreneurs who transformed their businesses with leverage and playbooks

Whether you’re scaling a startup, rebuilding after a hit, or just tired of doing everything yourself, this episode is packed with gold.
