Everyone talks about chasing money for freedom, but what happens when you actually get there? This episode dives into the raw, messy truth of building a life on your own terms. It’s about what comes after the money. I’m sharing the side of success no one really talks about: control, fear, emptiness, cults, depression… and what it really takes to feel free. But through it all, there’s a powerful lesson in resilience, growth, and finding your true self when the dust finally settles. If you’ve ever felt lost, even after hitting your goals, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by the “World’s Most Disciplined Man,” Craig Ballantyne, a performance coach, bestselling author, and the guy who’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs cut through the noise and take back control of their lives. Craig is here to flip the script on everything you think you know about discipline, productivity, and focus. We dig into why most people stay stuck, even when they’re grinding hard. From chasing trends to falling for distraction traps, Craig breaks down how we lose sight of what truly matters, and how to get it back. He offers a new lens on what real success and freedom actually look like. If you’re tired of doing "all the right things" and still feeling stuck, this is mentorship at its finest, and you won’t want to miss it.

Stay tuned.
