Rock bottom is dramatic. It’s embarrassing, disorienting, and painful. For many founders, it becomes the origin story they try to hide while pushing themselves to move forward.

In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Beate Chelette speaks with Jason Clark about intentional suffering, the law of polarity, and why business growth moves in cycles.

At 26, Jason was homeless, divorced, coming off heavy psychedelic use, living in a tent in Alaska, and experiencing panic attacks. That period reshaped how he relates to responsibility, discipline, and choice under pressure.

Jason explains how this internal shift informed the way he built his company—how he approached money, clients, decision-making, and leadership. Over time, these choices supported the growth of a multimillion-dollar business and a successful merger that expanded capacity, stability, and opportunity.

This conversation stays centered on founder awareness. How leaders experience uncertainty. How they prepare during expansion. How they relate to contraction without personalizing it. And how understanding polarity changes what gets built and sustained.

Listen and notice where you are in the cycle.

If you’ve done everything “right” yet still feel stuck, this reframes how your words drive behavior and culture by shifting attention to the present.

We often don’t realize how often our questions point backward. That moment when something goes wrong and the first words are, “Why is this happening?” You sift through past details, replay conversations in your head, and feel the pull of self-judgment. The rest of the day goes to rehashing.

Over time, the loop shows up as hesitation, slower calls, extra checking. Energy shifts to second-guessing. Decisions sit. Confidence drops.

On the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, I sit with Blair Dunkley as he shares his trigger moments that cracked and remade his inner stance: his mother being refused a $200 budget to throw a tea party for her patients, his father’s 14‑year coma, and later his own health challenges. We examine how language patterns direct behavior, how acceptance can loosen the grip of pain, and how turning toward present choice shifts what becomes possible. It’s an inquiry into awareness and responsibility

He identifies the “why-hole” and what changed in his understanding of language and behavior to change thousands of lives following his mind models.. Blair has seen these patterns up close for years under pressure. He watches how words shape behavior until the structure is clear.

Here are the five key takeaways from this episode:

• Why true “why” questions are past-based and immobilizing
• The two questions that restore your own agency in minutes
• Behaviors lead belief: how to build confidence with evidence
• The Three E’s: Effective vs Ineffective, External vs Internal, Evaluation vs Judgment
• State shifts that work: acceptance, posture, and perspective

Join the conversation because when your pressure keeps stacking this loop burns time and attention. The way we speak to ourselves under stress drives how we lead. Are we staying in the past frame, or are we ready to face the present without more reasons?

AI is everywhere. And there is real fear..

Fear of being replaced, fear of machines taking over, fear of losing entire job segments. and the fear of losing self, our ability to critically think and what our place in this world is now that something so super smart is taking over.

Because when something can speak like you… think like you… mirror your voice and your worldview… a very critical question emerges: Does AI have a soul?

This episode does not focus on productivity. Rather it is about this new identity. In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, I sit down with Stephanie Sylvester of Avatar Buddy to explore digital twins, therapeutic AI, and why the future of business with AI isn’t just about optimizing—but about humanizing our processes with AI.

This episode is for you if you:

• Know you're here to build something bigger than yourself
• Believe AI can serve humanity—but only if it stays connected to the soul
• Are searching for a way to scale impact without losing your voice
• Want to design business systems that honor your values
• Feel called to bring spirituality into tech—and tech into service
• Have ever wondered how to turn your lived experience into a replicable solution

If you’ve been using AI like a tool, this conversation may change how you see it forever.
