Episode Summary:

In this soul-stirring conversation, Rodric sits down with transformational coach and nomadic entrepreneur Chris Marhefka. From burning the candle at both ends as a multi-business owner to designing a vision-led life across Europe, Chris shares the pivotal mindset shifts that high-achieving founders must make when hustle alone stops working.

They dive deep into:

• The moment that forced Chris to reimagine what success actually looks like.
• The biggest mental hurdle for founders: “No one can do it like I can.”
• How to delegate without micromanaging (and actually build trust with your team).
• Why slowing down and creating space is the key to scaling your impact.
• The courage to say “no” to anything that’s not a full-body “yes.”

And in a vulnerable closing moment, Chris shares a powerful story of fatherhood, compassion, and leadership that changed the trajectory of one man’s life forever.
