    Ep. 100 - Why Doing Less (and Dropping Your Weaknesses) Is the Fastest Way to Grow with Josh Terry

    In this episode of the Expert Speaker Podcast, I sit down with Josh Terry — a creator, coach, and thinker known for saying sharp things in very few words. We unpack why so many smart, capable people stay stuck, and how real momentum often comes from doing less, not more. Josh shares the counterintuitive idea that trying to fix your weaknesses might actually be holding you back — in business, creativity, and leadership. We talk about mastery, creative freedom, productivity, and why operating well within your strengths creates far better results than constantly pushing at the edge of your abilities . Key Takeaways Give up on what you're bad at Growth accelerates when you stop forcing yourself to improve weaknesses that drain you and instead build around what already works. Mastery comes from ease, not struggle People don't want what you can barely deliver. Mastery is built by repeatedly doing what's well within your competence — and letting that competence expand naturally. Your strengths are often invisible to you Many of our strongest capabilities formed early in life, which makes them feel "normal" and easy to overlook — even though they're where our greatest leverage lives. Stop copying the "right way" to create Josh explains how abandoning standard advice (eye contact, memorization, perfect delivery) led to his biggest breakthroughs and viral growth. Productivity isn't about pressure Some people thrive under pressure. Others shut down. Understanding whether you respond better to pressure or space can radically change how you work. Eliminate infinite time sinks Endless distractions (scrolling, gaming, mindless consumption) kill momentum. Replacing them with finite breaks helps you return to focused work faster. Notable Quotes "Nobody wants what you can just barely deliver." "Mastery comes from repeatedly doing something that is well within your competence." "We're not supposed to make our weaknesses our day job." "If you stop trying to look like who you're not, you can finally create something real." Action Steps Make a list of what drains you vs. what feels easy and effective — and ruthlessly reduce the former Identify one strength you've dismissed as "too obvious" and lean into it this week Replace infinite distractions with finite breaks (walks, stretching, sitting quietly) Ask yourself: What could I create if I stopped trying to fix myself first? Listen If You Are A founder, creator, or leader feeling stuck despite working hard Someone overwhelmed by "do more, be better" advice A creative who wants to find their real voice Looking for a smarter, calmer way to grow without burning out   🖥 Connect with Expert Speaker: https://www.expertspeaker.com 📲 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/majeedmogharreban/ 📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/majeed.mogharreban 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/majeedm

    Ep. 99 - Building a Life of Legacy with Rebecca Mountain

    In this compelling conversation, Majeed Mogharreban speaks with Rebecca Mountain, high-performance coach and author of Think Again, about breaking free from the toxic hustle and building a life of true fulfillment, purpose, and legacy. Rebecca shares how she walked away from a "successful" business that left her empty and began a mission to redefine what it means to truly thrive. From unraveling ego-driven goals to coaching business owners through deeply personal breakthroughs, Rebecca's story is as relatable as it is inspiring. Whether you're an entrepreneur feeling stuck in the grind or a leader ready to live and lead with greater purpose, this episode will challenge and encourage you to think—and live—differently. Key Takeaways: The Hustle Trap vs. True Success Rebecca reveals how she realized her so-called dream life—money, business, accolades—was a mask for deeper dissatisfaction. Success isn't what you have; it's how free and fulfilled you feel. Your Legacy Starts Now You don't build a legacy "someday." You build it through daily choices, aligned values, and intentional leadership. Rebecca explains how to shift from chasing success to creating significance. Coaching for Soul-Level Change Rebecca's work goes beyond surface strategy. She shares how she guides her clients through healing emotional pain, uprooting limiting beliefs, and stepping into their highest leadership. Why You Must Heal to Lead Well Unprocessed pain limits impact. Rebecca discusses how emotional healing and self-worth are non-negotiables for healthy leadership, meaningful relationships, and sustainable success. Build a Business That Doesn't Break You Rebecca now coaches others to create thriving lives and businesses without sacrificing their health, families, or faith. Her model blends mindset, healing, and bold action. Notable Quotes: "I had the house, the money, the clients—and I was miserable. That's when I knew something had to change." – Rebecca Mountain "You can't build a legacy if you're constantly burned out, checked out, or living for someone else's version of success." – Rebecca Mountain "Healing is not a luxury—it's a leadership imperative." – Rebecca Mountain "You were made to live a life that excites you, not just one that impresses others." – Rebecca Mountain Action Steps: Grab a copy of Rebecca's book Think Again to start rewriting your story Reflect: Where are you hustling for approval instead of operating from alignment?
