The Life You’re Building the Business For
Aug 04, 2026 Episode 168

What if you didn’t have to wait until your business reached some imaginary finish line before you started living the life you’re building it for? In this episode, we’re talking about how to define your version of success, stop postponing the experiences you want and become the person who can hold both a growing business and a fulfilling life.

  • How to identify the life you actually want your business to support—not the version of success you think you’re supposed to want
  • Why the life you’re waiting for may be more available to you right now than you realize
  • How to identify and solve for the beliefs, skills and systems you’ll need to build the life and business you want at the same time
