Walk With Me with Robb Pollard

13. When Success Is Not Enough- Bill Leider


Listen Later

In this episode of Walk With Me, Brother, Robb Pollard sits down with Bill Leider, author, executive advisor, and thought leader in personal and professional reinvention, for a grounded conversation about the in-between seasons of life.

Bill shares how external success can quietly coexist with internal misalignment. After more than four decades in finance, leadership, and advising Fortune 500 companies and startups, he began to recognize the slow burn that comes from living according to expectations rather than purpose.

Throughout the conversation, Bill explains how self-limiting beliefs often form early in life and remain unconscious drivers well into adulthood. He opens up about patterns of self-sabotage that appeared at the edge of success, and how neuroscience helps explain why the brain resists change through avoidance of discomfort and instant gratification.

Bill breaks down how neuroplasticity allows the brain to be rewired over time, why deep reflection is necessary to uncover subconscious beliefs, and how forgiveness of self and others creates space for growth. He also introduces the question that anchors his work: “What would it take?” A question that quiets the ego and opens the door to possibility.

This episode is for anyone who feels focused but lost, successful but unfulfilled, or aware that what they have is not what they need, and is ready to approach their next chapter with honesty and clarity.

• The in-between seasons of life
