    Steve Rozenberg with Lisa Nirell on High Stakes Podcast show

    Success isn’t just about achievements — it’s about the stories we share and the space we create for others to grow. ✨ For years, I chased constant achievement. But the real breakthrough came when I learned to slow down, embrace solitude, and allow vulnerability to guide me. During a challenging swim, I stopped and found myself surrounded by schools of stingrays. In that quiet moment, it hit me: sometimes you have to pause to find your direction. 🧘‍♀️ A truly successful life is less about doing and more about being — trusting yourself, releasing what no longer serves you, and creating space for what’s next. Have you ever had to pause and re-center? Drop a 🌟 if growth and authenticity matter to you, and share your moment in the comments 👇 The most powerful stories are often the ones we dare to share when no one’s watching.

Saahil is a global entrepreneur, bestselling author, and elite leadership coach who works with founders and CEOs across 25+ countries — many running multi-million-dollar enterprises.

In this episode, we go beyond tactics and talk about the real game of leadership — clarity, decision-making under pressure, and building power without burnout. Saahil shares how navigating business across continents and summiting mountains like Kilimanjaro and Elbrus shaped his approach to peak performance and conscious leadership. We also dive into his book BREAK FREE, where he exposes the internal limits — fear, self-sabotage, and identity traps — that quietly cap most leaders long before the market does. If you’re a CEO, founder, or operator who refuses to choose between growth and fulfillment, this episode will challenge how you think, lead, and scale. 🎧 High stakes. Real leadership. Zero regrets.
