Rachelle's been with me for 13 years. She calls this my fourth evolution.

She shared something that surprised me: vision, passion, and purpose—three words from 2013—shaped her entire career. She's carried them for 15 years.

Rachelle said back then, I pushed them beyond their comfort zones. Strict timelines. Systems for everything. It drove her crazy, but she also said it was fun.

Then 2014. I shut down the online business. She called it her first work heartbreak.

Six years of silence. When we reconnected, team members came back. They'd each grown into experts.

Nix, who joined us a year ago, shared what stands out: watching what I teach actually practiced.

This conversation revealed something I didn't fully see back then.

Highlights of This Episode:

- What Rachelle means by my "fourth evolution"

- The three words Rachelle carried for 15 years

- How Rachelle describes being pushed beyond comfort zones

- The 2014 shutdown and six years of separate growth

- What this conversation revealed about leadership

I almost said no. For an entire year, I ignored the voice telling me to reach out to a connection. I made excuses. I was busy. I wasn't sure.

Most people think you need certainty before you commit. But what if I told you that sometimes the best decisions in your life start with uncertainty?

When I finally reached out, I still wasn't sure. I just knew I missed something – that face-to-face connection, seeing real transformation happen right in front of me, not through a screen.

But then something shifted. Something I didn't expect. And suddenly, I knew exactly where I was supposed to be.

Turns out, you don't need to see the whole staircase. You just need to take the first step.

Highlights of This Episode:

- Introduction

- The nudge I ignored for an entire year (and why I finally listened)

- Why I started Alphabiotics without certainty or passion

- How training in Dallas and traveling the US shifted something in me

- The moment I knew this was exactly where I'm supposed to

I was running five-day challenges every month, constantly marketing, always "on." Everyone saw success, but I was exhausted. Then, I had to make a choice that changed everything.

Most people think the answer is doing more – more networking, more content, more hustle. But what if I told you that sometimes the breakthrough comes when you walk away from everything you've built? There's something that happens when you stop hiding behind screens and people meet the real you.

Turns out, the path I was avoiding – working face-to-face with people instead of through pixels – became exactly what I needed. And starting fresh? It forces people to see who you are now, not who you used to be.

Highlights of This Episode:

- The places I've been traveling and what I've been learning

- Why five-day challenges every month burned me out

- What I discovered about face-to-face work after avoiding it

- How losing my 22-year Facebook network became a breakthrough

- How starting fresh lets people see who you are today
