Get Uncomfortable

Danielle Cherewyk is the founder of The Headroom Inc., owner of Peak Beauty Academy, a Redken educator, mentor, and soon-to-be published author — but behind all that, she’s a leader who’s found a way to build a business that works for her team and her family.

In this episode, Danielle shares the unfiltered truth about what drew her to the salon industry, why she created the Peak Program to help stylists hit Income goals, and how she continues to innovate without sacrificing her values.

We talk about:

• Leading with impact and intention
• Building a culture where people thrive
• The pressures of an entrepreneur
• What pushes her to keep building

This one’s for the builders, the leaders, and anyone who’s ever wondered if success at work and at home is really possible.

🎧 Listen now and get uncomfortable with us.

Waiting until you’re ready? You’ll be waiting forever.

In this solo episode, Brenton dives into the four areas of life where people delay action the most — and why starting before you feel ready is the fastest way to grow.

Topics covered:

• Fitness – Stop waiting for perfect timing
• Business – The perfect plan is a myth.
• Creative Projects – Publish your messy first draft.
• Tough Conversations – Courage comes before clarity.

This episode is a push to take imperfect action, to lean into discomfort, and to move forward without needing permission.

🎙 Episode 6 – From 9-to-5 to 7-to-7: The Pierce Krol Work Ethic

What separates those who dabble from those who dominate?

In this episode, Brenton sits down with serial entrepreneur and Insurely founder Pierce Krol to talk about the kind of work ethic you don’t learn in a textbook — you earn it in the dirt. Pierce shares how growing up on a farm shaped his approach to business, leadership, and personal discipline.

From founding and selling multiple insurance brokerages to launching a tech-forward platform that’s shaking up the Canadian industry, Pierce breaks down the difference between 9-to-5 money and 7-to-7 hustle — and why mindset, self-education, and discomfort are the real currency of growth.

💥 Topics We Cover:

• The farm kid mentality that still drives him
• How Pierce built and sold Elevate Insurance
• The story behind Insurely and digital disruption
• The role of mindfulness and personal growth in business
• Why comfort is the enemy of progress

This one’s for the builders, grinders, and anyone trying to create something bigger than themselves.

If you’ve ever faced a season of grief or wondered how to find strength in pain, this is for you.

Rejection hurts—but it doesn’t have to stop you.

In this episode of Get Uncomfortable, I dive deep into one of the most universal challenges we face: rejection. Whether it’s getting passed over in real estate, hitting a plateau in fitness, or feeling ignored on social media—it stings.

But here’s the truth: the people who win aren’t the ones who avoid rejection. They’re the ones who know how to handle it.

💥 In this episode, I break down:

• The brain science behind why rejection actually feels like pain
• Why getting rejected is proof you’re playing the game at a high level
• How rejection shows up in real estate, sales, fitness, and everyday life
• The mindset shift that helped me finally launch this podcast (even when I was scared of getting zero likes)

🛠️ Plus, I’ll give you 5 powerful tactics to reframe rejection and turn it into fuel:

1. Rejection is data, not a definition
2. Gamify the process and track your “no’s”
3. Remove emotion from the outcome
4. Use the 24-hour reset rule
5. Rewire your brain to expect rejection—and keep pushing anyway

💡 Rejection is a test. It’s also a teacher. And it might just be the thing that’s preparing you for your biggest win yet.

Motivation feels good—but it’s not what builds success.

In this episode of Get Uncomfortable, I’m breaking down why motivation is one of the most overrated concepts in self-development. It comes and goes, and if you're waiting to feel motivated before you act... you’re already behind.

🔥 Instead, I’ll show you:

• Why relying on motivation is keeping you stuck
• The real science and psychology behind consistency
• How I use boring, repeatable habits (like eating the same breakfast 350 days a year) to eliminate emotional decision-making
• Why putting on my gym shoes during lockdown changed my mindset
• How to use systems, process goals, accountability, and rewards to build discipline that actually sticks

💡 Plus, I’ll share how I’ve used these same strategies to grow in fitness, business, and life—even when I didn’t “feel like it.”

This episode is raw, honest, and built to help you stop chasing hype and start chasing progress.

🎯 Challenge: Do something this week you’ve been avoiding—on purpose. DM me @getuncomfortable to tell me what it was.

This is not a podcast about staying motivated. It’s about doing the work when you’re tired, unsure, or uncomfortable.

In this short intro episode, I break down:

• Why I started Get Uncomfortable
• What you can expect from upcoming episodes
• And why comfort might be the biggest threat to your potential

Whether you’re building a business, leveling up in fitness, or fighting self-doubt—this show is for you.

💡 Expect raw stories, honest mindset shifts, and real-world challenges designed to push you into discomfort on purpose.
