From Fear to Freedom: Joe Mittiga on Inner Mastery, Leadership & Living for Legacy
In this episode, I sit down with Joe Mittiga — founder of Project Smile, founder of Avion Energy, author, and speaker — for a powerful conversation on inner mastery, conscious leadership, and what truly holds high performers back from their next level.
Joe’s journey spans addiction recovery, authorship, global speaking, and a life-changing TEDx experience in South Africa that led to the creation of Project Smile. With decades of experience working with entrepreneurs, C-suite leaders, and teams, Joe brings uncommon depth and clarity to the internal work behind sustainable success.
Rather than chasing surface-level performance, Joe challenges leaders to confront fear, listen to their inner dialogue, and build lives and businesses rooted in alignment, respect, and purpose.
We cover:
- The pivotal moment that reshaped Joe’s life and leadership path
- Why fear — not effort or talent — is the real glass ceiling
- The difference between external success and internal freedom
- How limiting beliefs quietly cap income, impact, and fulfillment
- Practical ways to begin inner work (starting with pen and paper)
- Inner mastery and its role in conscious leadership
- Why respect matters more than likability in leadership
- Burnout, performance anxiety, and why self-care is a leadership responsibility
- Small internal shifts that create massive external results
- Project Smile’s mission to bring education and opportunity to underserved communities worldwide
- Living for legacy instead of achievement alone
🎯 Key Takeaways:
- High performance without inner alignment leads to burnout, not fulfillment.
- Fear shows up as beliefs — and naming them cuts their power in half.
- True leadership starts with self-mastery, not authority.
- Conscious businesses grow from self-aware leaders.
- Legacy is built through service, not status.
