Are you successful, but still feeling stuck?You’ve built a business. You’ve hit the milestones. From the outside, it looks like you’ve made it. But inside, something feels off. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this really it?”, you’re not alone. Today’s episode is for high-performing leaders who are tired of running on autopilot and hungry for deeper meaning, intentionality, and alignment.

In this powerful conversation, host Cory Long sits down with author, speaker, and entrepreneur Alan Goff, a man who walked away from the family legacy, built a record-breaking business, and then gave it all up after a life-altering health crash. Alan’s story is raw, real, and deeply relatable for anyone who has achieved success but feels disconnected from their purpose. Together, they unpack what it means to live by design rather than default.

You’ll hear about the cost of ignoring warning signs, the danger of success without alignment, and the bold steps required to build a life and business that actually reflect your calling. This isn’t about scaling faster, it’s about leading with clarity and building legacies that matter.

Key Takeaways:

→ Success without vision and purpose will leave you burnt out and empty.

→ Family legacies can shape us, but they don’t have to define us.

→ If you're the “chief cook and bottle washer,” your business may be unscalable.

→ Ego is one of the biggest killers of businesses and personal well-being.

→ You don’t need to have all the answers, but you do need to ask better questions.

“It’s not about doing more, it’s about living with intention instead of drifting on momentum.” – Cory Long
