    How To Scale A Business In 2026 l Benjamin Hardy 10x Framework

    In this episode of The Big Table, I sit down with bestselling author and entrepreneur Dr. Benjamin Hardy to break down the principles behind The Science of Scaling and what it really takes to 10X a business in 3 years or less. Most entrepreneurs focus on growth. Benjamin explains why growth and scaling are not the same thing, and why so many businesses get stuck between $1M and $5M in revenue. We dive into the strategies, mindset shifts, and decision making frameworks that help founders move from incremental progress to exponential results. Benjamin shares his proven 10X framework, the power of setting impossible goals, how to identify the few actions that create the majority of results, and why scaling requires a completely different way of thinking about business, leadership, strategy, and opportunity. If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, CEO, sales leader, or growth-minded professional looking to scale your company, increase revenue, build a stronger team, and create a bigger future, this conversation is packed with actionable insights you can apply immediately.

    Human Performance Expert Reveals Why Most Leaders Fail

    In this episode of The Big Table Podcast I sit down with Colby Jubenville: a human performance expert, professor, trusted advisor, and co-author of Zebras and Cheetahs for one of the deepest conversations we’ve had on leadership, identity, burnout, culture, and what really causes people and teams to fail. Colby breaks down the psychology behind bad leadership, why high performers sometimes become toxic, and how unresolved tension destroys organizations from the inside out. We discuss accountability, trust, questions-based leadership, emotional exhaustion, team dysfunction, and why most leaders avoid the hard conversations that actually create growth. We also revisit lessons from our book Zebras and Cheetahs and reflect on over a decade of working together in the business world — from staying in cheap hotels and building consulting businesses to helping leaders scale teams, develop culture, and navigate adversity under pressure. If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, coach, executive, athlete, or someone trying to unlock higher performance in life and business, this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership and human behavior.

    Proximity to Power: The Skill Nobody Teaches

    Proximity to Power is one of the most overlooked skills in business, leadership, and personal growth.  In this coaching session, I break down why talent alone is not enough and how getting close to the right people can completely change your trajectory. Most highly talented people stay underpaid, overlooked, and undercapitalized because decision-makers never truly see their value. This video reveals how powerful people think, what they look for, and how to position yourself to gain influence, opportunity, and momentum. If you want to increase your influence, attract high-level opportunities, and become impossible to ignore, this lesson is for you. Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, salesperson, coach, or ambitious professional, these principles can help you elevate your position and unlock new levels of success.

    Can’t Stay Motivated? THIS IS WHY

    Why do you start strong… but lose motivation halfway through? In this session, I break down the real reason why you can’t stay motivated and it’s not what you think. If you’ve ever felt stuck, distracted, or inconsistent, this video will show you what’s actually holding you back. The truth is, motivation isn’t something you wait for… it’s something you activate. I speak on the concept of prey drive: your internal instinct to pursue, capture, and achieve goals at a high level. When your prey drive is activated, you don’t rely on feelings. You operate with purpose, urgency, and discipline. In this video, you’ll learn: Why you keep losing motivation The hidden factors that kill your drive How to activate your prey drive on command How high performers stay consistent every day Why action—not feelings—is the key to momentum If you’re tired of starting and stopping… this is the mindset shift you’ve been missing.
