Stop Self-Sabotage and Command the Stage — with Albert Bramante

Are you the one is who holding yourself back? Not the market. Not the economy. Not your competitors — but just you?

Because in this episode, you will discover: • How to spot self-sabotaging behaviour before it quietly kills your future success. • Why the imposter syndrome keeps your confidence low — and how to overcome it. • And the surprising link between acting skills and leading a business. All of that I discuss with my guest — Albert Bramante, PhD. Albert is a former college professor, book author, and clinical psychologist who now runs a talent agency. And that’s a mixture to guarantee a fresh and unique perspective. Together, we explored how deep-rooted mindsets can quietly sabotage your success. Albert’s journey from psychology to the entertainment industry taught him how to break those blocks that even seasoned leaders don’t see and recognize.

#27 Decision Struggle: How to Overcome Fear & Choose with Confidence | Sara Mueller

Struggling with a big life or business decision? How do you choose when every option feels risky and uncertain? When you are at a crossroad — like should you leave your 9-to-5, want to scale your business, or make a major life change — the fear of making the wrong move can be paralyzing. Self-doubt creeps in. The illusion of “safety” keeps you stuck. But what if there was a way to make confident decisions, even in uncertainty? You’re not alone. In this episode, you will discover how to break through the fear and move forward: The Regret Minimization and Fear Setting frameworks to help you decide when both options feel scary. How limiting beliefs (aka head hurricanes) are keeping you stuck — and how to break free. Why 95% of leaders think they’re self-aware, but only 10% actually are — and how not to live in a bubble. The hidden costs of conflict avoidance and how to give (and receive) honest feedback, even when people are scared to be honest. In this episode, I discuss these topics with Sara Mueller — bestselling author, keynote speaker, and emotional intelligence expert. Sara shares her own story of burnout, fear, and reinvention — walking away from the corporate world to build a career that actually fuels her. If you’re standing at a crossroads, this conversation is your roadmap. 🎧 Tune in now and start making decisions that align with your future, not your fears. This podcast is for leaders, founders, business owners, and entrepreneurs who want to drive a systematic change and to achieve seemingly “impossible” goals in their business and career.
