Scales Of Success Podcast
If you've ever encountered anxiety, imposter syndrome, or burnout, you're not alone. Two years ago, becoming a dad flipped my world upside down.
No matter how much I prepared, nothing could brace me for the chaos that followed, both at home and in my career. But in the struggle, I found a new obsession, leveraging every minute, every ounce of energy to achieve more with less. Who better to gain perspective and insight from than those who are doing it themselves? In the episodes to follow, I'll share conversations I've had with entrepreneurs, artists, founders, and other action takers who emerged from the battlefield with scars produced from lessons learned.
These strivers share with specificity the hurdles they've overcome, the systems they've used to protect their confidence, reinforce their resilience, and scale their achievements. You'll hear real life examples, including the challenges of building a team from five people to 800, the insights gleaned from over 40,000 coaching calls with Fortune 500 executives and professional athletes, how to transform public perception through leveraging existing client loyalty among countless others. In these episodes, you'll hear concrete examples and leave with concise takeaways to improve your systems with outsized results.
Scales of success is all signal without the noise. I offer these conversations to serve as one of the levers in scaling your own success. If any of this speaks to you, you're joining the right tribe.
