What if the goals we chase are quietly pulling us away from who we truly are? We’re so conditioned to look outward — at what success should look like, how others are doing it, and which achievements will get the most validation. But what if the most fulfilling direction isn’t outside at all, but inward?

In this episode of Success Genius, we’re rethinking goal setting by starting with inner alignment — building a life from the inside out instead of shaping ourselves around expectations. Because authenticity isn’t something you’re born with… it’s a practice of unlearning, listening, and choosing what’s true for you.

You’ll explore how interoceptive awareness — tuning into your body’s wisdom — can guide decisions long before your mind catches up. How values act as compass points when everything feels equally important. And why saying “no” to misaligned expectations is an act of courage that strengthens your self-trust over time.

Join me as we shift from performance to alignment, from external noise to inner knowing — and learn how to set goals that don’t just look good… but feel like you.

Because the most powerful goals aren’t the ones that impress others.

They’re the ones that express you.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why authenticity is a practice of unlearning — not a personality trait
• How to rebuild your inner compass through interoceptive awareness
• The “whole-body yes / whole-body no” method for aligned decision-making
• How values become the compass points for designing goals that truly fit you 

You don’t have to rewrite yourself to succeed — you just need to hear yourself again.

Tune in and learn how to set goals that expand the life you actually want to live...from the inside out.

What if the life you’re trying so hard to build… is already here, waiting for you to slow down enough to notice it?

As entrepreneurs, we’re conditioned to keep reaching—another milestone, another level, another “next.” But rarely do we stop to question whether the pursuit itself is steering us away from the very fullness we’re craving. In this week’s episode of Success Genius, we’re unpacking the cultural obsession with more—and how it quietly rewires your goals, your energy, and even your sense of worth.

Inside this Wanting Well instalment, we explore the myth that growth always requires adding something new. You’ll hear the neuroscience behind why the chase feels addictive, why the dopamine dip after achievement leaves you restless, and how the constant pursuit of the next win tricks your brain into believing you’re falling behind—even when you’re not.

We’ll also dive into the psychology of “enoughness,” why it’s not a number but a relationship, and how your beliefs about time, money, energy, and success shape the kind of goals you choose for 2026. And most importantly, you’ll learn how to design goals from wholeness—not scarcity, not fear of stagnation, and definitely not the pressure to outperform last year’s version of you.

Join me as we rethink what meaningful growth really looks like. Because when your ambition becomes rooted in fulfillment—rather than in proving, performing, or producing—you don’t just set healthier goals… you build a life that actually feels like the one you’ve been working toward.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why the “myth of more” keeps high achievers stuck in an endless chase
• How dopamine drives the thrill of pursuit—and the crash that follows
• The psychology behind feeling “not enough,” even when you hit big goals
• Practical shifts for designing 2026 goals from wholeness, not scarcity

Ready to set goals that feel grounded, spacious, and genuinely aligned? Tune in and learn how to break free from achievement addiction and build a life that feels full before you add anything new.

What if the goals you’re chasing aren’t actually yours?

As driven entrepreneurs, it’s so easy to get pulled into someone else’s momentum—someone else’s milestones, someone else’s version of success. But have you ever stopped to wonder whether comparison is quietly steering your next big move?

In this episode of Success Genius, we’re digging into the subtle, powerful force of mimetic rivalry—the way your brain mirrors someone else’s desires without you even realizing it. You’ll hear why comparison feels so gripping (and sometimes so painful), how it hijacks clarity, and what it costs when your 2026 goals start looking more like someone’s highlight reel than your own.

We’ll also break down the neuroscience behind envy, why your brain reacts the way it does, and the three-step reflection that transforms comparison into direction, alignment, and emotional freedom.

Join me as we explore how to rewrite your goals from a place of ownership—not pressure, not performance, and definitely not someone else’s blueprint. Because when you shift from rivalry to reverence, you don’t just design better goals…you design a life that finally feels like yours.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why comparison feels so emotionally intense
• How mimetic desire shapes the goals we chase
• The hidden cost of letting others define our direction
• A simple process for turning envy into clarity and self-alignment

Looking to build goals that feel like freedom—not pressure? Dive into this episode and discover how to shift comparison into a compass that points you back to what you truly want.

What if your marketing didn’t rely on hype, perfection, or selling a fantasy—but instead on telling the honest, slightly uncomfortable truth?

In a world where we’re used to glossy promises and “this will change your life” sales pages, there’s something radically refreshing about being upfront. In this week’s episode of Success Genius, we dive into the surprisingly brilliant “anti-marketing” strategy behind Chip Drop—a company that wins customers by openly sharing the messy, inconvenient, unfiltered parts of their service.

Joined by the always insightful Mark Butler, we explore why honesty builds more trust than idealized testimonials ever could, how setting realistic expectations can eliminate refund drama, and why the best clients are the ones who know exactly what they’re signing up for.

If you’ve ever struggled with how transparent to be in your marketing, felt pressure to “prove your value,” or wished selling could feel more grounded and human—this episode will shift how you think about attracting the right people.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why “anti-marketing” can build more trust than polished promises
• How Chip Drop wins customers by highlighting objections instead of hiding them
• Why honest expectation-setting can eliminate refund drama altogether
• What coaching looks like when you stop selling perfection and start selling reality

If you’ve ever wondered how to market your work without hype, felt pressured to make everything sound flawless, or wished you could attract clients who are truly the right fit, this episode is for you.

Tune in for a refreshing, candid conversation about transparency, trust, and why telling the truth (even the unglamorous parts) might just be your strongest marketing strategy.

What does it really mean to live in a way that inspires others—without trying so hard to be inspiring?

In a world that glorifies hustle, noise, and visibility, we often forget that the most powerful leaders are the ones who lead quietly. The ones who don’t perform, but simply are.

In this episode of Success Genius, we’re diving into the art of becoming a model of desire, the kind of person whose calm presence sparks courage, peace, and authenticity in others. You’ll learn how imitation shapes our goals, why awareness is the key to true leadership, and how to live your values so deeply that others feel it just by being around you.

Join me as we explore how to move from performance to presence, from comparison to congruence. Because the most magnetic people aren’t the loudest in the room, they’re the ones most aligned with who they truly are.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• How desire spreads through imitation — and why awareness matters
• The difference between external and internal models of influence
• How to curate the models that shape who you’re becoming
• What it means to live authentically and lead by quiet example

You don’t have to chase inspiration to be inspiring. Tune in to learn how to live, lead, and love in a way that invites others to rise, just by being who you are.

Would you still want what you want if no one ever found out?

So much of what we chase—success, validation, recognition is quietly shaped by the world watching us. But not all desires are created equal. Some are borrowed, fragile, and fleeting; others are grounded, peaceful, and deeply our own.

In this episode of Success Genius, I explore the difference between “thin” desires that thrive on approval and “thick” desires that grow from purpose. You’ll learn how to tell when your goals are performative versus personal and how to reconnect with what’s truly meaningful to you.

Because true fulfillment doesn’t come from what everyone sees, it comes from the quiet that wants to stay, even when no one’s looking.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The difference between thin desires and thick desires and how to recognize each
• Why some goals leave us feeling empty even after we achieve them
• How social comparison and validation shape what we think we want
• Questions to uncover your truest motivations and build a life rooted in meaning

Are your goals truly yours or borrowed from someone else’s expectations?

Join this episode of Success Genius and discover how to trade fleeting, performative desires for ones that keep you grounded, fulfilled, and deeply aligned with who you really are.

How do you know if what you want is truly yours?

We live in a world overflowing with influence where what we desire is often shaped by what we see others achieving, owning, or celebrating. But have you ever paused to ask yourself: Are these my true desires, or borrowed ones?

In this episode of Success Genius, I uncover the illusion of authenticity and why so many of our “original” ambitions may actually be inherited from the people around us. You’ll learn how mimetic desire shapes our goals, how to recognize when imitation replaces inspiration, and how to reclaim the freedom to want on purpose.

Together, we’ll explore the science and self-awareness behind choosing desires that align with your integrity so you can live, lead, and build a business that’s truly your own.

Because the freedom you’re looking for doesn’t come from having everything you want, it comes from knowing why you want it

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why the belief that our desires are self-made is actually a “romantic lie”
• How mimetic desire shapes what we think we want—and why that matters
• The hidden influence of others on our goals, dreams, and values

Join this episode of Success Genius and learn how to separate imitation from inspiration so you can live, work, and create with genuine integrity.

Have you ever stopped to wonder if the things you’re chasing are actually yours to want?

As entrepreneurs and high achievers, we often set goals that sound impressive — the revenue milestones, the dream house, the next big launch. But how many of those desires were truly chosen, and how many were simply borrowed from the world around us?

In this episode of Success Genius, we’re diving into the hidden force that shapes what we want: mimetic desire — the unconscious imitation of others’ ambitions. You’ll discover why so many of our goals are influenced by comparison, how to spot when you’re caught in borrowed wants, and most importantly, how to begin wanting well.

Join me as we explore how to reclaim your authentic desires and design a life that’s truly your own. Because success isn’t just about reaching the next milestone — it’s about making sure the life you’re building actually belongs to you.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The hidden force behind our wants — mimetic desire
• Why many of our goals and dreams are borrowed, not chosen
• How imitation fuels comparison, competition, and burnout
• Simple ways to uncover what you truly want
• How to shift from chasing others’ dreams to creating your own

What happens when life doesn’t cooperate with your perfectly planned schedule?

Most productivity advice assumes you’ll always be at your best—energized, clear-headed, and in control. But real life includes sleepless nights, sick kids, flare-ups, and unexpected curveballs that can derail even the most carefully planned week.

In this episode of Success Genius, I share the concept of the Zero-Hour Planning Toolkit—a set of simple, ready-to-go strategies for those low-energy, high-stress days. You’ll learn how to keep momentum even when you can’t show up at peak capacity and why it’s more about consistent progress than perfect execution.

Join me as we explore how building flexible, resilient systems can help you adapt to life’s messy moments without losing sight of what matters most.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why most productivity plans fail on your toughest days

Do you ever know exactly what to do—but struggle to actually follow through?

You’re not alone. Many high achievers find themselves with clear goals and systems in place, yet consistency slips away. The good news? It’s not about lacking willpower, it’s about training your brain’s “grit center.”

In this episode of Success Genius, I’ll walk you through the neuroscience of tenacity and introduce the Follow Through Method. You’ll learn how tiny acts of discipline can strengthen your anterior mid cingulate cortex—the part of your brain that helps you do hard things even when motivation fades. We’ll explore practical strategies like the 2-Minute Rule for Resistance, implementation intentions, and micro-commitments that make consistency feel natural instead of forced.

If you’ve ever wished you could trust yourself to follow through every time, this episode will show you how to build that muscle—one small win at a time.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The neuroscience of tenacity and the brain’s “grit center” (the AMCC)
• Why consistency isn’t about motivation but about building discipline
• The Follow Through Method: 2-Minute Rule, Implementation Intentions, and Micro-Commitments
• Why self-compassion—not self-criticism—strengthens long-term discipline

What if the secret to doing more wasn’t about adding hours, but about subtracting them?

As entrepreneurs, we’ve been conditioned to believe that working longer equals achieving more. But what if the real breakthrough comes from asking: What would I do if I only had 10 hours this week? This single question has the power to strip away busywork, surface what truly matters, and force us into clarity.

In this episode of Success Genius, I explore the “10 Hour Constraint”—a tool that reveals how most of our to-do lists are filled with tasks that don’t actually move the needle. We’ll talk about why cutting down your hours doesn’t shrink your results, but expands them—by fueling innovation, creating simplicity, and aligning your work with your purpose.

Join me as we uncover how to stop confusing motion with progress and start building high-impact, low-maintenance systems that multiply your time. The goal isn’t to do everything faster—it’s to do fewer, better things, with more impact and less overwhelm.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why working fewer hours can actually lead to greater productivity
• How the 10-hour constraint creates clarity and focus
• The difference between busy work and needle-moving activities
• Practical strategies to simplify systems and leverage automation

Ready to stop confusing motion with progress? Tune in and discover how to use the 10-hour clarity filter to focus on what truly matters and design a business that gives you more freedom, impact, and satisfaction.

Have you ever asked yourself—what am I really being productive for? So often, we master time-blocking, systems, and strategies, only to realize we’re just becoming efficient at building a life that doesn’t feel meaningful.

In this week’s episode of Success Genius, I dive into the connection between productivity and purpose. We’ll explore how aligning your peak performance hours with your deeper values can create exponential results—not just in your business, but in your sense of fulfillment.

It’s not just about getting more done. It’s about using your best energy for the work that lights you up, the work that activates your “generative drive.” When productivity serves your purpose, you don’t just optimize your schedule—you create a sustainable upward spiral where results and joy feed each other.

Join me as we uncover how to protect your most productive hours for the work that truly matters. Because success isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about designing a life worth living.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why productivity without purpose can feel like “sophisticated busy work”
• The difference between generative drive and aggressive drive in shaping fulfillment
• How your body budget and brain chemistry respond to purpose-driven work
• Creating a “time fitness function” to filter how you spend your hours
• Protecting your peak performance time for meaningful, intrinsically rewarding tasks

Why does your “perfect schedule” still leave you feeling behind?

If you’ve ever color-coded your week, built in buffer time, and still found yourself working late nights, you’re not alone. The truth is—your brain is lying to you about time.

In this episode of Success Genius, I dive into the neuroscience of time estimation and why most of us drastically misjudge how long tasks will take. From the planning fallacy to the role of brain chemistry and skill level, we’ll uncover the hidden reasons why schedules fall apart—no matter how carefully you design them.

I’ll also share my Accurate Scheduling Method, a simple science-backed framework to help you plan with confidence, reduce overwhelm, and consistently complete 90% (or more) of what you set out to do.

What if the key to lasting growth isn’t just mindset—but the courage to accept the whole truth about yourself?

So many entrepreneurs try to “think” their way out of challenges, but often mindset work alone keeps us stuck. Real transformation requires more: understanding our emotions, calming our nervous systems, and aligning our actions with our values.

In this week’s episode of Success Genius, I sit down with Master Coach Molly Claire to explore her Four Fundamentals of Lasting Change—a holistic framework that helps you build sustainable growth without self-judgment or burnout.

Join us as we unpack why true self-awareness means more than positive thinking, and how embracing compassion, curiosity, and wholeness can unlock the next level of your personal and professional evolution.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why traditional mindset work sometimes keeps us stuck
• How to create lasting change by working with the mind, emotions, nervous system, and actions
• The role of compassion and curiosity in self-awareness
• Why holistic approaches lead to more sustainable growth

What if your confidence in business didn’t depend on the economy at all—but instead on the things you can actually control?

We’re constantly told to watch the market, follow influencers, and brace for uncertainty. But what if real stability comes from within—from your character, your skills, and your relationships?

In this episode of Success Genius, I sit down with Mark Butler to unpack how to shift from “external referencing” (looking outside for validation) to “internal referencing” (building strength you can rely on no matter what).

We explore the hidden entitlement many of us carry in business, why comfort and needs aren’t the same thing, and how nurturing your network might be the greatest form of financial security you have.

If you’ve ever felt rattled by economic changes, this conversation will remind you where true confidence is built—inside, where you actually have control.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why confidence rooted in internal referencing is more reliable than chasing external validation
• The three pillars you can actually control—character, skills, and relationships
• How entitlement around income and comfort can quietly undermine your business
• Practical ways to prepare for economic uncertainty without losing stability

If you’ve ever worried about what the economy means for your business, or found yourself seeking reassurance from influencers instead of trusting your own answers, this episode will ground you.

Tune in for a refreshing perspective that helps you build unshakable confidence—no matter what’s happening out there.

As entrepreneurs, we often chase better calendars, planners, and productivity hacks. But have you ever paused to ask: What do I actually believe about time?

What if your pricing strategy wasn’t tied to your self-worth—but instead guided by simple supply and demand?

In the coaching world, we often hear messages like “charge what you’re worth” or “higher prices mean higher value.” But what if those beliefs are fueling unnecessary emotional drama and confusion in your business?

In this episode of Success Genius, I’m joined again by the always insightful Mark Butler—fractional CFO, bookkeeper, and coach—for a candid conversation about pricing. Together, we dismantle the “self-worth pricing” myth and explore why pricing is a business decision, not a personal identity crisis.

We discuss how to use price as a throttle, what it actually means to have a “full” calendar, and how lowering your price doesn’t mean you’re lowering your value—it might just mean you’re increasing demand.

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever agonized over your rates, compared your prices to others, or wondered if charging less means you believe less in your work.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why pricing is a strategic business decision—not a reflection of your self-worth
• The real role of supply and demand in determining what to charge
• How to define a “full practice” on your own terms
• Practical ways to reduce emotional drama around pricing

If you've ever second-guessed your rates, felt pressured to “charge your worth,” or wondered if lower prices mean lower value, this episode is for you. Tune in for a refreshing, economics-backed conversation that brings clarity and calm to how you price your services.

What if the secret to getting more done isn’t doing more—but aligning with your natural rhythm?

So many entrepreneurs are unknowingly working against their biology, stuck in a cycle of brain fog, burnout, and the constant pressure to “do more.” But what if the real productivity hack has nothing to do with more hours—and everything to do with better timing?

In this episode of Success Genius, I’m unpacking the science behind your circadian rhythm and how leveraging your body’s natural performance windows can help you achieve more in less time—with less effort. This isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about working in a way that feels better, too.

Let’s stop glorifying the grind. It’s time to reclaim your energy, focus, and satisfaction by working with your biology—not against it.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• How your biological clock affects productivity more than you think
• The warning signs of chronic "time jet lag"
• Why working with your circadian rhythm leads to better results in less time
• The simple science-backed tweak that can boost your efficiency by up to 40%

What if becoming time rich wasn’t about doing more, but doing it at the right time? Tune in to learn how aligning your work with your natural rhythm can revolutionize your results—and your well-being.

Are you chasing productivity, or are you truly time rich?

As ambitious entrepreneurs, we often buy into the belief that more apps, tighter schedules, and color-coded calendars will finally free us from overwhelm. But what if that’s not the answer?

In this episode of Success Genius, I kick off the Time Rich Series by challenging everything we’ve been taught about time management. You’ll discover the three types of time—clock time, body time, and mental time—and why ignoring two of them might be the very reason you still feel stuck in the productivity trap.

Join me as we explore the shift from the outdated corporate model of time (more hours = more output) to an entrepreneurial model built on quality, efficiency, and alignment with your natural rhythm.
 It’s not just about working less—it’s about working right.

This episode will redefine how you experience time and productivity. Let’s begin your journey to becoming truly time rich.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why traditional productivity hacks leave you feeling more overwhelmed
• The three types of time: clock, body, and mental—and why only one of them really works
• How to shift from the outdated corporate model of time to the entrepreneurial model
• What it really means to be “time rich” and how to get there

If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in productivity systems and still not getting ahead, this episode is your wake-up call. Step into a new way of working that honors your energy, mindset, and rhythm.

What if everything you believed about success was never yours to begin with?

As high-achieving entrepreneurs, we’re taught to value hard work, hustle, and being “on” 24/7. But what if those beliefs—about time, productivity, leadership, aren’t actually truths, but outdated mindsets we’ve inherited without question?

In this episode of Success Genius, I unpack six deeply embedded success myths that might be sabotaging your effectiveness and well-being. From “more hours equals more results” to “good leaders are always available,” we trace the origins of these beliefs and examine whether they truly serve the life and business you're building today.

Join me as we challenge these inherited mental models, explore how your mindset was shaped by systems you didn’t choose, and discover how to reclaim your power through intentional belief audits. Because success isn’t just about doing more, it’s about thinking differently.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The hidden origins of success mindsets that may be holding you back
• Why "more hours = more results" is an outdated belief from the Industrial Era
• How inherited myths around time, leadership, and productivity sabotage high achievers
• The power of doing a mindset audit to reclaim your effectiveness and well-being

What if the very beliefs driving your work ethic are actually keeping you stuck? Tune in and learn how to challenge inherited ideas, rewire your thinking, and redefine success, on your own terms.

Have you ever thought about how your financial decisions impact your time freedom?

As entrepreneurs, we spend so much energy managing money that we often forget its deeper purpose—to give us our time back. But what if there was a smarter way to do that? What if your home could actually help fund your goals, grow your business, or free up cash flow to invest in your future?

In this episode of Success Genius, I had an eye-opening conversation with Michael Lush, former mortgage executive and founder of Replace Your University. Michael introduced me to a strategy that challenges everything we’ve been told about traditional mortgages—something that could literally save you hundreds of thousands of dollars and cut decades off your home loan.

We’re diving into a financial time management strategy that’s not just about numbers—it’s about powerful autonomy. You’ll learn how a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) can help you access equity, stay liquid, and leverage your cash flow without making more money or changing your lifestyle.

If your business cash flow has highs and lows like mine, this is a tool that can work with that rhythm instead of against it. I’ve personally seen the math, and the numbers don’t lie—it’s legit.

So, if you’re ready to turn your mortgage into a wealth-building tool, tune in. This might just be the shift you didn’t know you needed. 🎧 Listen now to Episode 283.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why traditional mortgages are secretly costing us way more than we think
• How HELOCs (Home Equity Lines of Credit) can help pay off your home in 5–7 years
• Why this 100-year-old financial strategy is perfect for entrepreneurs with inconsistent income
• How to free up hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades of your life
• And the real cost of parking your money in a savings account

If you’re ready to think like the wealthy and ditch the death pledge (aka your mortgage), hit play now and learn how to make your money work for you.
