Ego Flipping (Awake Forward Interview‪)‬ The Honest Podcast

    • Comedy Interviews

This month’s episode of The Honest Podcast is a take-over special where yours truly is being interviewed by Michael Costuros on his podcast, Awake Forward. Michael interviews three different founder CEOs and how they were able to flip their ego from unruly master to humble servant. It’s a mind blowing episode with three very different stories that all include a physical or psychological near death experience (or both) that changed their lives forever. Give it a listen.
Michael and I have worked together for many years. We first met back in 2016 where I joined one of Michael’s EntrepreneursAwakening retreats in Peru. Besides being an experienced entrepreneur himself and knowing the tough and lonely life as a CEO, he is also an excellent coach pioneering psychedelic-assisted therapy to help startup founders become better leaders (and humans) to the benefit of everyone. It’s an accelerated next level approach to leadership development that I highly recommend any business leader out there searching for a good coach.
You’ll find a lot more info and details about Michael’s coaching and mastermind retreats at www.awakeforward.com.
Awake Forward Episode Intro: A Harvard Business Review study showed that greater than 50% of venture-backed startup founders/CEOs fail due to two reasons: Co-founder conflict and immature leadership. This is likely true, but there is a seldom discussed deeper cause… Ego. 
On one hand, if your ego isn’t strong enough, you will fail. On the other hand, if it is too strong, you will also fail. So how does one become the master of their ego and maintain the winning balance?
