#319: If you've ever lost your spark — that fire that used to drive you — and wondered if it would ever come back, this conversation is for you. Today I’m welcoming Rachel Rodgers back to the podcast. You know Rachel as the founder and CEO of Hello Seven, bestselling author, and someone who's living proof that audacious goals are within our reach.

Rachel gets incredibly honest about a period of deep grief that nearly derailed her eight-figure business, how community pulled her back to her center, and the casual question in Greece that sparked a 100-million-dollar plan. She shares why 10X-ing isn't about doing more (it's actually about doing less), how to use what you already have to create something new, and why setting small goals keeps us stuck.

This episode is for you if:

• You're ready to stop playing small and set goals that actually light you up
• You’re ready to get your spark back after a period of being off your game
• You want to understand what it really takes to 10X your focus and impact

We talk about…

• How Rachel turned a podcast into a TV show by following her creative instincts
• The six-month period of grief and depression that nearly stopped her business
• Why shame shields solutions — and the importance of community during hard times
• The casual question in Greece that sparked a 100-million-dollar business plan
• Why 10X-ing your business is actually about subtraction and editing, not addition
• How big goals wake you up in ways that 10% growth never will
• Why most people quit right before things work — and how consistency wins
• How to take stock of what you have and cook up your next move (even with nothing)
• Why Gen Z needs a completely different financial playbook than generations before them
