Overthinking isn’t a thinking problem. It’s a believing problem. In this episode, I go deeper into last week’s “Now, Later, Not For Me” framework and share the next layer of how to stop treating every thought in your head like it’s the truth. I share the 4 mental traps that keep you stuck, the reason your nervous system keeps sounding the alarm, and the pattern-interrupt technique I’ve used for years to retrain my brain. Tune in to learn how to stop over-believing fear and reprogram your default thoughts.

Good news, you don’t have to go viral to have a 1M+ dollar business.

We dive into her scrappy beginnings at a Starbucks card table, the "brutal" middle years of scaling, and the pivotal decision to step down as CEO to protect her zone of genius. Tune in to learn how to build a business that thrives on stability rather than hype.

They drag out negotiations, sugarcoat expectations, avoid clarity, and then wonder why they feel resentful, underpaid, or stuck in the wrong deal.

We talk about the Candor Speed Principle, why delayed truth is actually damaging relationships, and how calm delivery gives you more power. Get ready to raise your standard for communication.

There are parts of being human that were designed to keep you alive, but they’re not designed to help you scale a business.

One of the biggest mistakes I see entrepreneurs make is trying to do business alone. It can feel safer, easier, or more “efficient” to figure everything out yourself. But the truth is, isolation is quietly costing you momentum, confidence, and growth. In this episode, Chris and I break down why entrepreneurship was never meant to be a solo sport and how the right community can completely change your consistency, decision-making, and standards. We talk about the power of accountability, why group environments normalize high performance (not mediocrity), and how being surrounded by people who are ahead of you accelerates your learning in ways nothing else can. Get ready to rethink how you grow, who you grow with, and why the right room can change your life and business.
