In this episode, Mike and Angie Kitko record live from Cabo San Lucas, reflecting on business, travel, relationships, profit margins, codependency, emotional pressure, and unconditional love. What starts as a casual beachside check-in quickly turns into one of the most vulnerable, soul-level conversations yet. From the cyclical nature of entrepreneurship to healing childhood patterns through the Drill Method, this episode is a masterclass in emotional honesty and spiritual sovereignty.

Key Takeaways

  1. Success Is Cyclical, Not Linear
    Business doesn’t move in a straight line — it moves in seasons, waves, and contrast.
  2. Messiness Creates Connection
    People resonate more with truth than with perfection. Vulnerability breeds validation.
  3. Emotional Pressure Isn’t Caused by Circumstance
    Your circumstances reveal what’s already stored inside you — not create it.
  4. Codependency Can Be Invisible
    Even high performers can secretly outsource their emotional safety to others.
  5. Love Is the Constant, Not the Outcome
    True partnership is “you and me versus the problem,” not “me versus you.”

Notable Quotes

  • “People connect to the messiness. They don’t connect to the perfection.”
  • “We haven’t struggled financially… but we’ve definitely struggled emotionally.”
  • “I used to feel like she would punish me — now I realize I’ve been punishing myself.”
  • “The profit line didn’t create the anxiety… it just revealed it.”
  • “When Mike and Angie Kitko face problems now, it’s never Mike versus Angie. It’s Mike and Angie versus the problem.”

Call to Action

This episode is a reminder that mastery doesn’t mean having it all figured out.
 It means staying in the work — even when it’s messy, even when it’s hard, even when the pressure rises.

If you're ready to stop outsourcing your emotional safety to results, outcomes, or approval...
 And you're ready to build from peace, power, and partnership — not performance...
