Episode 84 - Overwhelmed? Start Deleting 48:51

Play Pause

8h ago48:51

48:51

The next level of your life doesn’t require more input, it requires subtraction. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to delete. Not delegate. Not reschedule. Delete. Because overwhelm isn’t always a time problem. It’s an alignment problem. It’s carrying things you were never meant to hold, saying yes to things you don’t actually val…

Episode 83 - High Achiever? Cool. Still Beating Yourself Up? Not Cool. 19:44

12d ago19:44

19:44

If someone talked to your kids the way you talk to yourself, you'd punch them in the face. But when it’s your voice, in your own head, you let it slide. You call it “motivation.” You call it “honesty.” But it’s not. It’s sabotage. And it’s the reason you’re stuck. In this episode, I’m going 1 Layer Deep on the real enemy most high performers are fi…

Episode 82 - Are You Leading Just Because… or Because You’re Finally Awake? 33:46

9h ago33:46

33:46

Most leaders are running their lives from a reactive state. They change the business because of someone’s complaint. They shift a decision because of pressure. They say yes because of guilt. And they call it leadership. But it’s not. In this episode, Chris and I share what it looks like to flip the script, to stop reacting and start leading with in…

26d ago39:37

Jen Rodgers is the founder of Just Peachy Clean, a million-dollar residential cleaning company.

Episode 80 - Marriage. Business. Alignment or Breakdown. 1:01:56

1M ago1:01:56

1:01:56

If your marriage is tense, your team is unmotivated, and your growth feels stuck, it’s not a business issue. It’s an alignment issue. In this episode, Chris and I talk about the hardest season we’ve had in a long time. We almost lost momentum in our business, in our relationship, and in our rhythm. Not because something broke… but because we drifte…

Episode 79 - The Lie of “I’m Not Ready Yet” with Hussein Hallak 43:33

1M ago43:33

43:33

We’ve all said it. “I’m not ready.” “I’ll start when…” “Someday.” But what if that mindset is the very thing keeping you from living? In this episode, I go 1 Layer Deep with Hussein Hallak, entrepreneur, author of The Dark Art of Life Mastery, and mentor to over 6,000 startup founders, to dismantle the illusion of “someday” and challenge what we th…

Episode 78 - The Pressure No One Posts About 1:09:17

2M ago1:09:17

1:09:17

This is the episode I wish I had years ago. Because no one tells you what influence actually costs. Not the highlight reel. Not the headlines. The nights you can’t sleep. The kids you’re still raising. The pressure that builds while you're building. On this Date Morning, Chris and I go there. We talk about the heaviness that doesn’t make it into yo…

2M ago1:12:54

1:12:54

I didn’t want to show up for this Date Morning. Everything felt off. Nothing was working. But we showed up anyway, and this is the real, raw conversation that came out of it. This episode isn’t polished. It’s what it sounds like when two people are trying to lead a life, a marriage, and a business, and admit that alignment isn’t automatic. We talk …

Episode 75 - Writing the Book That Won’t Leave You Alone with Kayla Fair 37:59

2M ago37:59

37:59

Writing a book was never about checking off a box for me. It was about pulling truth out of chaos. About organizing pain into purpose. About building something so clear, it would still speak for me long after I’m gone. In this episode, I bring on Michaela (Kayla) Fair, the ghostwriter who helped me do exactly that. Together, we go 1 Layer Deep into…

Episode 74 - Why We Still Choose Date Mornings, Even When It’s Hard 1:31:00

3M ago1:31:00

1:31:00

This isn’t about coffee. It’s about why, 500+ mornings in, Chris and I still wake up, sit down, and meet, even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when it’s easier not to. Date Morning has become more than a routine. It’s how we get back in alignment. How we call each other out without blowing everything up. How we lead from the same layer, not just the …

Episode 73 - Chris Schwab on Breaking the Cycle of Overwork and What Actually Scales 53:27

3M ago53:27

53:27

Chris Schwab scaled a fully remote cleaning business across multiple countries. He built the systems. Delegated everything. Stepped out of the day-to-day. And still something felt off. In this episode, we go 1 Layer Deep into what actually keeps founders stuck. Because it’s not the lack of systems. It’s the lie we keep telling ourselves that “busyn…

Episode 72 - When 1 Layer Deep Becomes the Only Way Forward 44:46

3M ago44:46

44:46

I used the 1 Layer Deep Framework on myself, and it broke everything wide open. This wasn’t a podcast we planned. It was the moment Chris and I stopped and asked: Are we actually aligned… or just busy? We were building momentum. Saying yes to everything. But deep down, we knew: We were moving forward in the wrong direction. This episode is the real…

Episode 71 - Pick a Season or Stay Stuck 8:49

3M ago8:49

8:49

Let me ask you something: Are you in preseason, game time, or off season? Most entrepreneurs are stuck in the wrong one, and it’s why you feel tired, off, or like you’re always behind. In this solo Firestarter episode, I’m breaking down what season you’re in... and why that answer could change everything. ► Why always being in “prep mode” is really…

This one isn’t polished. It’s personal. I’m coming to you solo after one of the toughest weeks I’ve had in business in a while. A long-time employee turned competitor. Clients lost. Lies exposed.

In this Firestarter episode, we’re lighting up one of the biggest lies in business: that more meetings will fix broken teams.
