    How One Conversation Changed the Trajectory of My Life ft. Scott Armstrong

    We’ve all felt that feeling like we are meant for more, but most of us are too scared to do anything about it. Scott Armstrong didn't just do something, he sold everything that didn't fit in the back of his truck and drove to Nashville sight-unseen because the pain of staying the same finally outweighed his fear of change. Scott and I unpack the misalignments in his life that lead to a breakthrough, and how he accidentally started a business thanks to a conversation that changed his life. If you feel like you’re playing small or waiting for a perfect moment that’s never coming, this one is for you. Let’s Chat: Why Scott packed up his life in Oregon to start over at zero in Tennessee How simple social media advertising turned into a full-scale handyman operation The introduction Scott made that resulted in a lifetime mentorship and a co-hosting gig Why success isn't about the tools you have, but about shattering limited beliefs How there’s never been a better time in history to package your skills and take them to market Having unwavering faith when you’re feeling fear in the middle of a new venture Join the Impact: If this conversation resonated with you, hit that Subscribe button.

    What 83 Days in the Woods Taught Me About Manhood with Warren Steury

    Imagine being 16 years old, waking up one morning, and finding two strangers at the foot of your bed. That was the start of an 83-day journey into the North Carolina wilderness that redefined everything Warren Steury knew about freedom and manhood. On this episode of Impact Effect, Warren and I deconstruct what happens to a person when they lose all agency over their life. For any founder or business owner, the lessons Warren extracted from the woods are a masterclass in the two traits that define success: resourcefulness and adapting to discomfort. Let's Chat: What happens to your mind when you lose all agency over your life. Why doing uncomfortable things is the only way to build a life worth having. Learning to look at any environment, whether the forest or a new business, and build something from nothing. The Meriwether Academy: Warren’s "full circle" moment and his mission to bring classical education and rites of passage back to men. Iron & Ink Symposium: How we are using the Jeffersonian model to ensure every man at the table is heard, challenged and sharpened. Whether you’re growing your business or trying to find a higher level of self resilience, Warren’s story is a masterclass in what happens when you stop running from the woods and start learning from them.

    Relentless Patience: The Secret to Building High-Performance Teams with Brian Covey

    We’re pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to rebuild from the ground up when everyone else expects you to just stay comfortable. This was a powerful, unfiltered session with my friend and mentor, Brian Covey. Brian has run multi-billion dollar teams, but he recently did something that would terrify most leaders: he walked away from the corporate ego and the titles to start over at absolute zero.  The Power of Relentless Patience Diving headfirst into the reality of the "gap"... that season where you’ve made a big move, but the results haven't shown up yet. Brian opens up about how he practiced relentless patience for nine months, staying committed to his standards before the breakthrough finally hit and his team began to skyrocket. Let’s Chat: Winning at Home First: Why true success at work is unsustainable if your marriage and family are out of alignment. Starting from Zero: Brian’s transition from managing several billion-dollar groups to having zero employees and zero sales for months. The "Storm" of Leadership: Why you haven't dreamed big enough if you haven't encountered moments of "What have I done?". The Danger of Diluted Focus: Why saying "no" to good-looking distractions is the only way to protect your "one thing". I’ve had to navigate some tough business decisions recently, and Brian’s vulnerability was a huge catalyst for that change. If you’re a high achiever feeling the "storm" right now, this conversation is for you. 🔔 Subscribe to the channel for more raw conversations about leadership, business and human connection.  The Power of Relentless Patience🎧 Listen on the go: This episode is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
