#906 Quick wins and small steps create massive results. Still, how do we take that all-important first leap when faced with big projects? In this episode, I share why challenges stand out as one of the most powerful tools that help people move toward their goals. For years, I've watched students consume content and buy courses without ever taking real action. That's when I started pairing my educational content with challenges, and it made all the difference. I was finally able to inspire people to act! Today, I want to help you do the same for your followers. Don't miss this session because I discuss the seven rules of crafting effective challenges! From setting achievable targets to celebrating wins, I'll cover everything in this episode. I'll also share a first look at my upcoming short-form video challenge. Thousands of people have been asking for help with TikTok, Shorts, and Reels, so this is my way of making it easy to turn strangers into superfans on these platforms.

Success does not eliminate pressure. It often multiplies it.Once you experience a win, the fear shifts from “what if I fail?” to “what if I can't do it again?” In this episode, I unpack why success can feel heavier than failure, how emotional attachment to outcomes distorts clarity, and why many people end up running in place even while working hard.We explore how open loops, unfinished commitments, and mental clutter quietly drain focus, energy, and momentum. I share why learning to detach emotionally from outcomes is not about becoming numb or disconnected, but about creating enough objectivity to take better action. When everything feels personal, every fluctuation feels like failure.You'll learn how to:Detach your identity from results so one miss doesn't spiral into self-doubtClose open loops that create constant mental taxationCut through noise, distractions, and unnecessary commitmentsSay no with intention so yes actually means somethingMeasure progress beyond a single KPI or narrow definition of successBuild systems, structure, and infrastructure that support sustainable growthWe also talk about why sustainability must come before scalability, how discipline fills the gap when motivation fades, and why progress often comes from doing less, more intentionally, instead of chasing everything at once.This episode is a reminder that clarity creates momentum, simplicity creates leverage, and consistent execution is what turns intention into real results.Close the loops.

Join host Justin Forman as he sits down with Mark Vroegop, President of The Gospel Coalition, for a timely conversation about the growing but often disconnected faith and work movement. Mark brings a rare dual perspective—thirty years of pastoral ministry combined with deep understanding of entrepreneurial leadership—to address why two of society's most driven groups struggle to connect.This episode tackles the practical barriers keeping pastors and entrepreneurs apart, explores how lament and waiting can transform both business loss and leadership pressure, and offers concrete steps for churches ready to empower their entrepreneurial members beyond "parking vests and coffee." Mark vulnerably shares from his own journey through grief and gaps, providing a biblical framework for navigating the uncertainty that defines both pastoral and entrepreneurial life.This episode of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Podcast was filmed at the Main Street Summit, the perfect gathering for ambitious Christian entrepreneurs, executives, and business leaders seeking to deepen the integration of their faith and work.

This week, special guest Rich Jordan takes us inside a marketing challenge presented by his successful acquisition of home services businesses. Do you keep the legacy names of those businesses to preserve local trust—at the cost of running a fragmented, inefficient marketing operation? Do you take the strongest brand you own and roll it out everywhere, even if it may not translate from one community to the next? Or do you wipe the slate clean and create an entirely new brand to unify the whole operation—knowing that it means walking away from money you've already sunk into branding your biggest location? In a conversation with Shawn Busse and Jay Goltz, Rich walks through how he wrestled with those choices, why he ultimately made the call he did, and what he learned along the way. His takeaways included that there are still people who listen to radio, that an authentic story can compete with private equity, and that it is possible to find a marketing agency that will align its interests with yours.
You Sold the Company… Now What? The King of Exits: Eddie Wilson on Life After the Exit #236 If you think a big exit will finally make you happy, this episode might change your mind. I'm sitting down with Eddie Wilson — the “King of Exits.” He's owned 120+ companies, built the Empire Operating System used by 3,000+ businesses, launched the Aspire Tour, and feeds and educates 5,000+ kids a day through his foundation. We talk about: The journey from operator → CEO → true owner Why most founders become the ceiling in their own business How Eddie decides which companies to buy (and why he buys successes, not turnarounds) Exits, identity, and finding purpose beyond the money If you're building, buying, or selling businesses — and you care about what it all means as much as what it makes — this conversation is for you.

Créer une entreprise, c'est déjà difficile.Mais créer une entreprise dans un univers ultra-compétitif, sous pression permanente, où la performance ne pardonne rien, ça l'est encore plus.Dans cet épisode, j'ai reçu Fabien Devide, que beaucoup connaissent sous le nom de Neo, co-fondateur et dirigeant de Team Vitality, l'une des plus grandes équipes d'e-sport au monde.Ce que Fabien raconte ici va bien au-delà du gaming. Il parle de pouvoir, d'ego, de solitude, de responsabilité, de santé mentale, et surtout d'un sujet encore trop tabou chez les dirigeants : la vulnérabilité.Pendant longtemps, il a cru qu'un leader devait être solide, silencieux, presque invincible. Jusqu'au jour où cette posture a commencé à lui coûter cher.On parle de performance, bien sûr. De croissance, de levées de fonds, de pression. Mais on parle surtout du moment où un entrepreneur comprend qu'il doit changer pour ne pas se perdre.C'est une conversation rare, exigeante et profondément humaine.Je vous laisse découvrir ma conversation avec Fabien Devide.Bonne écoute ✨Chapitrage00:00 – Introduction : un leadership sous pression permanente02:36 – Créer Vitality : passion, ambition et inconscience07:50 – Performance avant tout : l'ADN e-sport14:20 – Argent, croissance et illusion du contrôle22:10 – Quand la pression commence à fissurer le dirigeant30:40 – Devenir patron : solitude, doutes et responsabilités38:55 – Santé mentale : le tabou qui a tout changé47:30 – Accepter sa vulnérabilité pour mieux diriger56:10 – Apprendre à lâcher prise sans renoncer à l'exigence01:02:30 – Le plus grand échec et ce qu'il lui a appris01:09:00 – Ce que la vulnérabilité change dans le leadershipNotes et références de l'épisode ✨ Pour retrouver Fabien (Neo) DevideSur LinkedInSur InstagramSur X (Twitter) ✨Pour retrouver Vitality : Sur leur siteSur Instagram Sur X (Twitter)Sur YouTubeSur LinkedIn #leadership #vulnerabilite #entrepreneuriat #dirigeant #performance #santementale #egoleadership #esport #teamvitality #fondateur #management #croissance #pression #responsabilite #resilience #podcastfrancais #paulinelaigneau #legratin #businesshumain Vous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chris Anderson speaks with Dr. Brian McCarley about his journey from a head athletic trainer to a long-time successful chiropractor, guiding entrepreneurs, business leaders, and families.From Athletic Training to Chiropractic: Dr. Brian recounts his career shift, explaining that the late-night, intense lifestyle of an athletic trainer was incompatible with being a newlywed. This led him through a brief stint in the business world before choosing chiropractic—a more natural, faith-aligned healthcare approach—necessitating a difficult move to Texas for three years of school.The Entrepreneurial Decision Cascade: Success after the initial leap requires navigating a continuous series of smaller, difficult decisions that, when stacked together, can feel overwhelming. Dr. Brian advocates for prioritizing based on what's urgent versus what's truly important, and learning to make the "least bad decision" when all options are challenging. He suggests using whiteboards and Post-it Notes to visualize and prioritize tasks, and to always assess how one decision will affect others down the road.The Value of Advisors: Having a team of trusted advisors is crucial for gaining an outside perspective, simplifying complex issues, and identifying personal "blind spots" or ego-driven blocks that cloud judgment. Dr. Brian sees his role with patients and clients not as an educator, but as a "guide" to help them become the "hero of their own life."Overcoming "Brain Fog" with Health: The episode dives into the connection between health and entrepreneurial performance. Dr. Brian pinpoints "bright shiny syndrome" and neglecting self-care as common causes of mental clarity issues that compromise business-critical decisions.Practical Health Strategies for High-Achievers:Efficient Exercise: Focus on activities that offer the greatest benefit in the shortest time, citing rucking (walking with a weighted vest) as an effective, low-impact method.Time Management & Delegation: Calculate your effective hourly rate and delegate tasks that cost less than that rate to a VA or part-time help, freeing up the entrepreneur for high-value work and personal time.Hourly Brain Breaks: Set a timer to take a 5-minute break every hour to step away from the computer. This prevents neurological burnout and increases efficiency and problem-solving.The Logic of Intermittent Fasting: Dr. Brian shares his thoughts on intermittent fasting, noting that three meals a day is a product of the industrial revolution and that bodies are designed for periods of fasting. He advises anyone trying it to be deliberate, prepare for mental shifts, and learn to distinguish between true hunger and boredom by drinking water. This episode is NOT sponsored.

Recorded live at Climb25 - The UK's Festival of Business Growth & Innovation, this episode of The Unlock Moment features Dr Bob Gomersall: physicist, teacher, accidental entrepreneur and pioneer of global educational technology. Bob traces his journey from teaching physics in the late 1970s to building a business delivering assessment platforms now used around the world, supporting awarding bodies, professional organisations and educational institutions to deliver over 45 million exams across 140 countries. Along the way, we explore the Unlock Moments that shaped his path … the decisions that didn't come from having a perfect plan, but from gaining clarity about how to choose when the stakes were high and the future uncertain. Drawing on the ideas behind his new book, Worthwhile Wealth, Bob challenges conventional measures of success and invites us to rethink what achievement really means. Rather than chasing scale or status, he reflects on usefulness, impact, and the satisfaction that comes from doing work that genuinely matters - to you and to others. A thoughtful conversation about innovation, clarity, and building a business and a life that feels worthwhile.

Even some of the most successful people you know started at rock bottom like $60k in debt, no job, and pretending everything is totally fine. That was Jane Lu’s life… right before she built Showpo. And today, Jane is speaking candidly about it all.The pressure to pick the “good girl” career, the fear of disappointing her parents, the panic of feeling behind while everyone else looks like they’re sprinting ahead and the moment you realise you’ve built a life around other people’s expectations and now you have to undo it. But interesting part is what came next, and nothing about it looked like the beginning of a global brand. Cofounders walked. Ideas fizzled. She was building websites in the State Library and quietly hoping no one noticed she was making it up as she went. And then, slowly, things shifted. A call she made out of instinct, a social moment went viral and she found a way of working that suited her Lazy CEO approach. This became the backbone of the business she’d grow into a company valued at more than $100 million. In this ep:✨Her mindset shifts about the "safe" career✨How to rebuild when your confidence is shot and your bank account is judging you✨The small (almost accidental) move that blew open her career✨Lazy CEO rules that help you stop doing the absolute most✨Why your messy chapter isn’t a setback, it’s leverageJANE'S LINKS: Showpo's website, TikTok & InstagramHer personal website, Tiktok & Instagram READ: Victoria's book The Business Bible just won the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Book of the Year at the 2025 Australian Business Book Awards.
