In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross talks about the skills that create early traction don't scale; growth requires letting go, delegating, and evolving into a CEO. Scaling isn't just about revenue or headcount, it's about scaling yourself. That means building trust, hiring people better than you in their domains, creating systems, rituals, and documentation, and replacing instinct with infrastructure. Founders must stop being the bottleneck, accept work done at 80%, and focus their time on strategy, hiring, and long-term direction. Great leaders build leaders, not dependency. Trust is built through clarity, not micromanagement. As companies grow, founders must repeatedly evolve, face discomfort, make hard decisions quickly, and shed the “hustler” identity. You don't scale by doing more, you scale by becoming a leader who empowers others to do more. Key Takeaways and Insights: From Founder Hustle to CEO Leadership - Why the skills that got you started won't scale your business - The critical mindset shift from “doing everything” to leading through others - How chaos management evolves as your company grows Scaling Isn't Just About Revenue. It's About You.  - Why personal growth is the real bottleneck in scaling - Letting go of control to unlock the next phase of growth - Becoming a multiplier instead of a bottleneck The 3 Core Levers of Scaling: Trust, Team, and Time - A simple framework to guide CEO-level decision-making - How these levers reduce stress and improve performance How to Build Trust Without Micromanaging - Why clarity beats control every time - Setting boundaries, defining success, and giving real autonomy - Eliminating founder anxiety through better communication Hiring People Smarter Than You (And Why It Matters) - Embracing discomfort as a sign of leadership maturity - Spotting talent that raises the standard across the company Protecting Your Time as a High-Leverage Asset - Where your time creates the most long-term impact - Shifting from tactical reviews to strategic thinking Evolving Through Every Stage of Growth - Why each revenue milestone requires a new version of you - Navigating the discomfort of leadership evolution - Letting go of the “hustler” identity to scale sustainably —

Overthinking is a quiet struggle many Christian leaders face. It often shows up as excessive analysis, fear of failure, and a deep desire to control outcomes—all of which slowly drain peace and undermine trust in God's sovereignty. In this episode, we examine what the Bible actually says about overthinking and why Scripture consistently calls leaders to trust God rather than rely on their own understanding. Overthinking is not simply “thinking too much”—it is often a form of under-trusting God, where anxiety replaces confidence in His guidance and timing. Rooted in biblical truth, this episode reframes overthinking as a spiritual issue of trust, peace, and surrender, and offers practical, scriptural steps for leading intentionally without mental exhaustion or fear-driven striving. Key Biblical Perspectives on the Overthinking Leader: Overthinking vs. Trust: Overthinking often reflects a desire to control outcomes rather than rely on God's direction and sovereignty. A Threat to Peace: Excessive thinking fueled by fear and anxiety robs leaders of peace and mirrors biblical definitions of worry rather than wise planning. Spiritual Warfare: Scripture reveals the mind as a battlefield, where anxious and fearful thoughts can distract, discourage, and exhaust leaders. The Command to Trust: God calls leaders to trust Him fully rather than lean on personal understanding, promising guidance and direction. Stillness Before God: Biblical stillness is an act of surrender—releasing control and trusting God's timing and power rather than forcing outcomes. What the Bible Says About Overthinking: 1 Peter 5:7 – Casting all anxiety on God because He cares deeply for His people Proverbs 3:5–6 – Trusting the Lord instead of relying on personal understanding Philippians 4:6–7 – Replacing worry with prayer to experience the peace of God Matthew 6:25–34 – Jesus' warning against worrying about the future and His call to trust God's provision 1 Corinthians 14:20 – Encouragement toward mature, purposeful thinking rather than anxious or obsessive thought patterns Practical Biblical Steps for Leaders: Shift Focus: Replace anxious thoughts by meditating on what is true, honorable, right, and pure (Philippians 4:8) Delegate Control to God: Intentionally surrender outcomes, timelines, and results to God Turn Overthinking into Prayer: Transform mental “what ifs” into active prayer and trust This episode is an invitation for Christian women leaders to stop striving for control and start leading with clarity, peace, and intentional trust in God's plan. Leadership rooted in faith does not require mental exhaustion—it requires surrender.   Invitation:  If you are a Christian woman who wants to lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical alignment, I invite you to sign up for the Confident Leader Workshop, a 3 session experience designed to help women lead intentionally and stay rooted in God's plan.

Using the Energy of the Fire Horse-Part 3     What if the thing holding you back isn't your circumstances… but your waiting? That's the question I'm asking myself—and you—in this episode of Be a Warrior. As I move into my seventh year as an above-knee amputee and step into 2026, I feel a shift happening. A deep, unmistakable pull to stop waiting for life to feel easier, cleaner, or more predictable—and instead start leading, exactly where I am. This episode is part three of my five-part series inspired by the Year of the Fire Horse, and if you've missed the first two, I highly recommend going back and listening. This series is building intentionally, because growth doesn't happen in isolation—it happens in layers. In the first episode, I talked about movement, momentum, and fearless expansion. Not fearless in the absence of fear, but fearless in the willingness to move through it. As amputees—and honestly, as humans—we live with a lot of fear. Fear of pain. Fear of falling. Fear of how our bodies will feel tomorrow. Fear of what people see when they look at us. Expansion doesn't mean fear disappears. It means we don't let it decide our future. Last week, we explored the bold, passionate energy of the Fire Horse and how powerful energy can work for us—or against us. Energy doesn't discriminate. If you're prepared, it can propel you forward faster than you imagined. If you're unprepared, it can feel overwhelming and destabilizing. This year is not subtle. It's loud. It's demanding. And it's asking us to participate instead of sit on the sidelines. Which brings me to this week's focus: leading instead of waiting. If you're not an amputee, let me pull back the curtain for a moment. Amputee life—especially in the early years—is dominated by waiting. Waiting for wounds to heal. Waiting for insurance approvals. Waiting for appointments. Waiting for test sockets. Waiting for remakes. Waiting for your limb to shrink, change, adjust, stabilize. Waiting for your body to feel like it belongs to you again. There can be more time spent waiting than actually living, and that kind of waiting is exhausting. I've watched so many people—myself included—get stuck in that space. Not because we're weak, but because the system trains us to wait. And at some point, that waiting becomes a habit. We tell ourselves, Once this socket fits better… once I heal… once this next thing happens… then I'll start living. This year is calling us out on that. The Year of the Fire Horse is designed for people who are ready to lead instead of wait. And leadership doesn't mean having all the answers. It means choosing not to put your life on hold. You can lead from a wheelchair. You can lead while healing. You can lead while waiting on insurance or surgery or the next prosthetic adjustment. Leading means asking yourself: What can I do today, with what I have, where I am? Because sitting and waiting doesn't just pause your life—it quietly erodes your confidence, your joy, and your sense of purpose. I know that when I wait too long, I stop meeting people. I stop moving my body. I stop feeling good about myself. I start complaining. And that's not the life I want—and I don't believe it's the life you want either. The Fire Horse only comes around once every 60 years. When the energy of fire and horse combine, it's powerful, fast, and transformative. But everything I've read says the positive outcomes come from preparation. From intention. From deciding ahead of time that when the energy hits, you're ready to ride instead of getting knocked over. For me, that preparation has meant getting quiet, introspective, and honest about what I want my next 12 months to look like. How I want to lead myself. How I want to show up for my family. How I want to live—not someday, but now. And that's why I'm inviting you into action.     On February 17th, the Fire Horse energy officially begins, and I'm hosting a Year of the Fire Horse Virtual Challenge for women. It's a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or marathon—done virtually, at your pace, in your way. This isn't about speed or perfection. It's about momentum. Accountability. Community. About proving to yourself that you can start before everything feels perfect. To Join the Virtual Challenge click HERE Get 30% of when you use the discount code: JOLLY   Waiting doesn't have to be your full-time job. This episode is a call to stop postponing your life. To stop telling yourself you'll start when conditions improve. To recognize that leadership begins the moment you decide to move—even if that movement is small, messy, and imperfect. You don't need permission to live fully. You don't need your circumstances to cooperate. You just need to decide that waiting no longer gets to run the show. This is your year to lead. Not tomorrow. Not when it's easier. Today. I'll be right here, walking it with you. And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much Love,

If running a group practice feels like herding highly educated cats, this episode is going to feel like someone finally put words to what you've been living. I'm joined by Amanda Esquivel, a Texas group practice owner who's scaled to 50 clinicians across seven locations—and she's breaking down why most “staff problems” aren't actually staff problems. They're leadership-role problems.Amanda names the four roles practice owners bounce between when growth accelerates: babysitter/manager, bottleneck, firefighter, and mentor-leader. And she's honest about where she's had to course-correct—because when everything runs through you, you don't just get busy. You get stuck. Your team gets stuck too.We also talk about what employees are really reacting to when they complain about low pay, lack of tools, unrealistic expectations, and “promises” that don't materialize. Amanda shares the transparency practices she uses to educate rather than defend—like showing where the money actually goes, tracking attendance metrics without shaming, and building a training hub so clinicians aren't reinventing the wheel. The throughline is simple: your job isn't to be everyone's emergency contact. Your job is to build people and systems.If you've been living in manager mode, exhausted, resentful, and constantly “on,” this conversation will help you shift back into leadership that develops your staff instead of babysitting them.In this episode, you'll learn:The four roles group practice owners cycle through—babysitter/manager, bottleneck, firefighter, and mentor-leader—and how to identify which one is running your practice right now.How to shift out of constant firefighting and bottlenecking by building systems, metrics, and delegation structures that develop staff instead of controlling them.What staff complaints about pay, tools, expectations, and follow-through are really communicating—and how transparency and education reduce resentment and turnover.Practical leadership tools that support retention and accountability, including structured one-on-ones, attendance and caseload metrics, shared training hubs, and role clarity.If you're ready to move out of manager mode and into grounded, sustainable leadership, start by grabbing the bonus resources that support this kind of systems-based growth. If you're still clarifying how your practice should be structured, the free practice guide will help you name what needs attention next. For supervisors and practice owners who want clearer expectations and less daily friction, the Supervisor Checklist gives you a concrete place to begin. And if you want ongoing CE credit, leadership support, and real-world training you can actually apply, the Step It Up Membership is where this work deepens over time. Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.

Why great leaders stop proving and start leading is the real conversation most leadership content avoids. Proving feels productive, but it quietly erodes trust, blocks collective intelligence, and keeps leaders trapped in fear-driven patterns. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Carrie Moore, CEO and founder of Titan Edge Advisory, to explore what happens when leaders shift out of ego and into alignment, and why that shift changes how teams perform and cultures scale. Carrie brings more than twenty years of experience across capital markets, corporate banking, and financial services. She is a Forbes Council recognized strategist and has spent the last nine years advising fast moving companies and founders navigating growth and complexity. The Hidden Cost of Proving At the heart of this conversation is a truth many leaders miss. When fear and unworthiness drive behavior, leaders slip into proving, defending, and explaining. This erodes psychological safety and limits collective intelligence, even when intentions are good. Great leadership begins with self-awareness and accountability, not control. When Challenges Become Leverage Carrie shares how growing up dyslexic shaped her leadership, turning early fear into adaptability and resilience. I share why my own rock bottom became a turning point rather than a regret. The hardest experiences often become the source of our greatest leadership strength. The Alignment Advantage Alignment starts with the leader. The only relationship you can give to anyone else is the relationship you have with yourself. When identity, purpose, and behavior are aligned, clarity increases, trust deepens, and performance follows. Leadership In the Age of AI Rather than fearing AI, this episode reframes it as an extension of human capability. The future belongs to leaders who can simplify complexity, lead with purpose, and stay grounded in what makes us human. Mic Drop Moments 1. Proving erodes trust faster than most leaders realize. 2. Fear does not need to disappear, but it should not lead. 3. Authenticity is a leadership advantage, not a vulnerability. Key Takeaways 1. Notice when you are leading from fear rather than alignment. 2. Your past challenges are leadership training, not liabilities. 3. Alignment at the top shapes everything below it.

How to Stop Being the “Nice Guy” & Start Leading in Love

In this revealing episode, I get real about the shadow side of entrepreneurship. Drawing from my own journey as a people-pleasing copywriter to a confident midlife guide, I share how our deepest wounds (control issues, perfectionism, conflict avoidance) secretly run our… Source

More than 28,000 women have discovered their top 3 style types using my free Personal Style Quiz — which is amazing — but that's really only step one. Your style type gives you a starting point… but it's not the whole story. Not even close.

You can't 10X your business by just working harder. Actually, the harder you push, the more you push away what you're trying to create. Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh shares The Grace Codes framework—and this conversation wrecked me in the best way. Five hours into climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, a guide asked Dr. Kelly to hand over her backpack. She refused. Every other woman had surrendered theirs, but she insisted she was fine. Then she realized she was weaving on the trail—a sign of oxygen deprivation she hadn't even noticed. The truth? It took 28 porters and guides to get 5 women to the summit. You need a village to scale anything meaningful. But first, you've gotta say yes when someone offers help. In this episode: The Grace Codes framework (Release, Reclaim, Rewrite, Receive), power amnesia, worthiness work, and why the woman who got you here won't take you to your next level without burning you out. Dr. Kelly is the founder of the Gen X 10X movement. She recently raised $40K climbing Kilimanjaro to build a school in Tanzania.   What You'll Learn The Grace Codes: 4 steps from survival to surrender (Release, Reclaim, Rewrite, Receive) Why "power amnesia" keeps you from remembering how powerful you are How to separate worthiness from productivity and bank account balance Why receiving is the hardest step for high-achieving women How Dr. Kelly went from $130K in debt to tripling her business without working harder What Human Design reveals about your energetic blueprint for success The Great Pause is happening right now, and what it means for women entrepreneurs Why it takes a village to 10X anything meaningful   Related Episodes You Might Love Episode 270: The Truth About Learning to Manifest with Alea Lovely https://sarahwalton.com/learn-manifestation/  Episode 227: How to Clear a Money Fog with Mikelann Valterra https://sarahwalton.com/clear-money-fog/  Episode 299: From Corporate Layoffs to Creative Freedom with Trinette Faint https://sarahwalton.com/career-reinvention-after-job-loss/    Special gift from Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh Free Human Design Chart: Discover your unique energetic blueprint for 10Xing your success without the hustle. https://www.queenofworth.com/chart    Connect with Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh Website: www.drkellyschuh.com  Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook: @drkellyschuh YouTube: youtube.com/@worthinternational     About Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh is a transformational thought leader, speaker, and trainer in embodied feminine leadership and nervous system integration.

Most professionals chase the next promotion without ever asking if it's the right move. In this conversation, Kendall Berg and executive coach Whitney Faires expose the myth of the linear career path and why the most fulfilled leaders often take strategic sideways moves instead of climbing straight up. Whitney shares her Courageous Leader Roadmap, a framework for showing up with authenticity, self-awareness, and fearless communication, the traits that separate high performers from true leaders. Together, they unpack the messy middle of leadership transitions, how to navigate corporate politics without selling your soul, and why your reputation starts forming long before you enter the room. In this episode, we discuss: What are the most overlooked skills when moving from contributor to director? How can leaders build influence without self-promotion? How do you navigate corporate politics without losing authenticity? What's the right moment to make a lateral move instead of chasing a promotion? How can specific feedback requests accelerate leadership growth? What does it mean to lead courageously — and how can you start today? What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

What happens when success meets humility and life throws you the ultimate curveball?In this deeply personal conversation, Chris Thomson sits down with Jakob Graham, a three-year veteran of the Student Works Management Program and incoming coach, to unpack how entrepreneurship, ego, and family challenges shaped him into a grounded, mature leader.Jakob shares his journey from being a confident 21-year-old who thought he had it all figured out to facing a family health crisis that changed everything. Through heartbreak, hard lessons, and real growth, he learned the value of integrity, vulnerability, and showing up even when life feels uncertain.Listen now because if you've ever wondered what true leadership looks like beyond the numbers, this episode will remind you that success starts with who you become when things get hard.Timestamped Highlights[00:03:36] – Jakob's early years in painting and his first taste of entrepreneurship[00:07:12] – The harsh truth about “luck” and the myth of overnight success[00:10:34] – How Student Works improved his time management, focus, and grades[00:12:02] – The ego check that changed how he handled conflict and coaching[00:15:03] – Building systems and auditing his business for long-term growth[00:17:38] – How self-awareness and vulnerability became his superpowers[00:22:48] – The life-changing family crisis that reshaped his priorities[00:30:33] – Rebuilding a $260K business with a “we not me” mindset[00:34:00] – Why integrity and consistency separate the top performers[00:39:20] – Becoming a mini coach: why you'll never feel fully ready—and that's okay[00:42:37] – Advice for new entrepreneurs: fail fast, ask for help, and keep swingingAbout the GuestJakob Graham is a three-year Student Works Management Program veteran and an incoming coach for the 2026 season.

The momentum you're missing might not be a market problem—it might be a leadership problem. We dig into why motivation used to flow from the top down and how, lately, apathy has been trickling up and disarming the very people meant to set the standard. Instead of accepting a slow season as destiny, we show how to stop reacting, start responding, and turn a challenging market into a training ground for better systems, sharper messaging, and deeper consistency.We unpack the difference between a reaction and a response, then translate that into concrete leadership moves: revive your learning rhythm, bring back outside voices, test new offers, and update your communication for today's buyer. You'll hear why half-measures fail, how to fully commit to a new channel or tactic, and where AI-powered writing can remove friction without flattening your voice. If you've felt the pull to do less because your team is quiet, this conversation reframes your role: leaders go first, especially when the energy dips.Across the episode, we share personal pivots that worked this year, from rethinking outreach to leveraging ChatGPT with proven frameworks. We talk candidly about cycles in consumer behavior, the danger of nostalgia, and the simple habits that protect your belief and output—meditation, movement, and measured experiments. The goal isn't to grind harder for its own sake; it's to pair strong energy with right-fit strategy so your effort compounds again.If this resonates, share it with a leader who's ready to raise the standard.

The Opposite of Leadership...Wait for it...It's Drama I'm really excited for this week's episode of A New Direction, because I'll be sitting down with best-selling author Charlie Sheppard, whose work jolts us out of the endless cycle of workplace drama and into — you guessed it — leadership by choice. In his book Save Your Drama for Your Mama: Drama or Leadership is a Choice, Charlie makes it clear that drama isn't just annoying, it's corrosive. It creates what he calls the “Drama Triangle” — where we play the roles of victim, persecutor, or rescuer — and it keeps us trapped in old patterns of blame, guilt, and avoidance. But the powerful truth is that leadership is also a triangle — one that begins when we make a conscious choice to step out of the drama and lead ourselves first. One of the topics we'll explore is what it means to shift from external control (“It's not my fault, someone else made me do it”) to internal ownership (“I choose how I respond”). Charlie argues that when we feel powerless, we fall into drama; when we reclaim choice, we start leading. So, I want us to ask: where in your professional or personal life are you still waiting for someone else to drive the bus? And how might you hop into the driver's seat instead? This isn't about becoming perfect or drama-free overnight — it's about recognizing that you always have the power to choose differently. We'll also dive into how we show up in the roles we play — adversary vs. catalyst, victim vs. visionary. These distinctions move leadership beyond the abstract and into behaviors we can see in our teams and ourselves. Expect us to unpack those everyday situations — the teammate who plays the victim and drags the group down, or the adversary who stirs things up in destructive ways — and contrast them with the visionary or catalyst who chooses to energize, engage, and elevate. If you've ever wondered how to stop drama from being “just how we do things,” this part of the conversation will be eye-opening. Finally, we'll wrap with the big idea that leadership is a choice — full stop. Charlie doesn't sugar-coat it: real leadership takes awareness, intention, and a willingness to look in the mirror. But he also offers a practical roadmap — not just “stop the drama,” but “what do I do instead?” Whether you're leading a team, managing projects, coaching others, or simply trying to grow as a person, this message will challenge and inspire you. My hope is that when you tune in, you'll ask yourself one powerful question: “Am I choosing leadership right now… or am I just participating in drama because it's easier?” Charlie Sheppard's book, "Save Your Drama For Your Mama: Drama or Leadership. is a Choice is perhaps one of the best practical books on leadership I have ever read.  For the first time someone has clearly defined the opposite of leadership. Are you wondering what that is?  It's not followership...it's drama. And what Charlie Sheppard had developed is elegantly simplistic by comparing and contrasting the behaviors of those in leadership and those in drama.  In fact, you discover the opposites.  For Example: An internal locus of control is leadership, it's counterpart is an external locus of control.  Adversary or catalyst. Victim or visionary. Rescuer or coach?.  His detailed triangles take us through a journey that begins change our perspective. What is also phenomenal about this book is he has a tremendous amount of research to support his findings.  If you are brain and body geek you are going to love is section on the amygdala and it's connection to how it interacts with both drama and leadership. If you want real world examples, he supplies those as well. Absolutely an engaging read.   And I will add there is truth in his warning in the introduction of the book.  "Once you've been exposed to this way of thinking, your life will never be the same."  It's absolutely true.  I have used it with my clients and it works!

Lead your family by first leading the spirit of your home.In this short talk Paul — founder of Path of Manliness and an Orthodox Christian husband and father — explains why leadership begins with emotional tone, how men should stop “unloading” burdens onto their wives, and how brotherhood and spiritual practice equip a man to bring harmony and stability into family life.This is practical, tested, and grounded in Orthodox practice — not a quick fix but a way of life.

Episode #1034 In this throwback episode, we're revisiting a core conversation that's just as relevant now as when it first aired. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but your wife still pulls away, this one's for you. Doug breaks down what really happens when men fall into the trap of chasing their wife. Whether it's constant texts, over-checking in, or trying too hard to fix the relationship, that energy often creates more distance instead of connection. You'll hear why chasing is a form of needy energy, how it kills polarity, and what to do instead. Doug walks through simple shifts that help men lead from a grounded place instead of needing approval. He also explains the triad of connection and why your wife's reaction is not the measure of your success. This revisit is a reminder that your power comes from within. When you stop chasing and start leading, everything changes.

Chris Schembra, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, keynote speaker, and one of the leading voices on the power of gratitude and human connection in the workplace.
