    Inner World, Outer World with Mike Kitko

    In this episode, I sat down with someone who doesn’t just coach entrepreneurs, he helps transform them from the inside out. Mike Kitko is a performance coach, speaker, and author who believes that your inner world creates your outer world, and he’s got the life experience to back it up. Mike went from chasing success in the corporate world to facing personal rock bottom. That turning point led him down a path of inner work, deep transformation, and eventually, coaching other high-performers to align their lives, businesses, and identities with purpose and peace. We dig into the emotional and spiritual work most entrepreneurs avoid—and why that’s often the missing piece when someone hits a plateau or feels stuck. Mike shares how mastering your internal dialogue, energy, and self-concept can completely change how you show up in business, relationships, and leadership. This episode is raw, real, and packed with perspective for anyone who’s ready to stop chasing and start aligning. About Mike Kitko Mike Kitko is a coach, speaker, and author who helps high-performing entrepreneurs and executives create aligned, fulfilling lives. After burning out in corporate America and hitting rock bottom, Mike began the deep personal development journey that changed everything. Now, he teaches others how to harness emotional power, self-awareness, and energetic alignment to unlock success that’s both meaningful and sustainable. Mike’s work focuses on helping leaders master themselves because when the inner world is in order, the outer world follows.

This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to simplify, realign, and get brutally honest about what’s actually moving the needle in your business and life. About Jamie Thurber Hi, I’m Jamie! I’ve worked very hard to create a life on my own terms over the years and it’s truly my pleasure to share it with you. So, a little about me? I’m an avid writer; journaling is literally my secret weapon for changing and creating everything I have. I’m extremely passionate about sharing my stories and experiences with people in order to show them that they are not alone in their journey as well as shine some light on a different perspective. Most of my life I’ve always been an anomaly. Nothing about me makes sense according to “industry standards” and I used to let that dim my light but over the years I’ve realized that it’s actually my superpower. All of the random things about us that don’t make sense to close minded people is actually what makes us so damn amazing in the first place, so I enjoy sharing those messages in order to banish as many stereotypes as I can and bust through some glass ceilings in the process. I’ve been managing businesses for over 18 years and have a knack for creating massive productivity within a company by making small daily tweaks. I’ve taken that skill along with my love for mindset and now use them to help people not only change their businesses but also their whole lives. I believe in the power of intentional living and live by the fact that every area of your life is connected because I’ve used it to change my own life in more ways than I thought possible. I am also obsessed with my three amazing pups, my badass Jeep Wrangler, gardening, and taking as many adventures as I can. You see, I never knew this life was actually possible, but I promise you if you’re committed to creating it, you can mold your reality to fit that vision in your mind.
