Perfection is a trap. Excellence is a system.

In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, host Marc Bautis is joined by Stanley Bronstein — attorney, CPA, life coach, and creator of The Way of Excellence — to explore the powerful difference between perfection and excellence, and why that distinction can transform your health, wealth, and life.

After losing more than 220 pounds and maintaining that transformation for nearly 17 years, Stanley shares the mindset shift that made lasting change possible — and how the same principles apply to financial success, personal growth, and long-term fulfillment.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why perfection is a losing strategy.
The “Beat Yesterday” philosophy.
Four simple daily habits that drive long-term transformation.
How to break the all-or-nothing cycle.
And more!

Tune in for a powerful conversation on resilience, human capital, compounding habits, and why your past does not define your future.
