Most founders think their business problems are strategy, cash flow, or operations. But Hannah Conkey says the real problem is running in their subconscious. 

So I invited her on this week’s podcast, to expose what's actually sabotaging high-performing leaders. 

Hannah, Founder and CEO of Mind Pilot, is a neuroscience consultant working with venture-backed founders. 

Here's what we uncovered: 

→ Your biggest bottleneck is you. Every founder brings their entire baggage into the business. No strategy fixes self-sabotage. 

→ Smart operators self-sabotage without knowing it. You hit heights, trauma happens, things recede. Then subconsciously you prevent yourself from going back there. You stay stuck. 

→ Stress literally lowers your IQ. Under pressure, cognitive function drops. That bad decision months ago? You were operating with a compromised brain. 

→ Burnout wrecks your judgment, not just your health. The bigger your business, the more decisions required. But if you're burnt out, you're making them with a broken brain. 

→ You say you value one thing, do the opposite. Confirmation bias traps you in limiting stories. You seek evidence to prove your own limitations. 

→ The founder matters more than the business idea. An average founder with self-awareness beats a genius running unconscious patterns. 

→ What got you here won't get you there. The mindset that built $1M won't build $10M. You hit a ceiling and blame the market. 

Really, you're blocking yourself. If you've ever made a decision under pressure and only understood how bad it was months later - this explains exactly why.
