I didn’t want to talk about this… but here we are.

At the start of the year, I joined a new fitness program—something totally outside my comfort zone. And I wanted to quit four times in the first week alone.

But I didn’t.

This episode is about what that journey has taught me—not just about health, but about business, consistency, and what it really takes to stick with something when it gets hard.

Because the truth is: everything you want comes with a cost.

Are you willing to pay it?

I’m sharing a mindset framework that’s helped me stay committed through discomfort, and how it applies whether you're trying to get in shape or build a 7-figure business.

Let’s talk about fear, doubt, discipline—and choosing not to quit.

If you’ve ever grown so fast you barely recognized yourself… this one is for you.

In this conversation with Leila Hormozi, we go behind the curtain of rapid business growth — beyond revenue, beyond strategy — and into identity.

We talk about criticism, visibility, filtering yourself to avoid judgment, and what really happens when your business grows faster than your comfort zone.

From the outside, explosive growth can look like a highlight reel. From the inside? It can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and even painful.

Leila shares why “the more you want to grow, the more you’re going to be in pain” — not because growth is bad, but because it demands an identity shift.

If you’re a 7-figure founder scaling higher… Hiring leaders for the first time… Outgrowing your old systems… Or white-knuckling your next level…

You’re not broken. You’re evolving.

This episode is your permission slip to embrace the stretch — and lead with honesty along the way.

[00:01] How to stop trying to “prove yourself” to the internet

[00:05] Why hyper-growth feels like pain—and what 2025 taught her about “unfamiliar territory”

[00:10] The moment health forced leadership evolution

[00:15] How “dangerously confident” content gets made when life is falling apart

[00:20] The self-care boundary that actually scales a company

[00:28] Her non-negotiable morning routine

[00:35] The leadership book she had to write
