For some people, helping others reach financial stability and freedom – is just a job.

For Bill Walters, it’s personal.

Before becoming a financial guru, Bill spent six years caring for his mother during her battle with dementia. He also raised a daughter with emotional, medical, and psychological needs. These experiences taught him firsthand how unpredictable life can be and how important it is to plan ahead with wisdom and care.

Today, he works with people who are navigating life on their own terms. Whether managing a household or growing a business, to planning for retirement, or a loved one’s long-term care – Bill’s mission is to help you achieve lasting financial stability and solvency through solutions that truly fit your journey.

He joins Jahmaal to share more about his journey and this crucial intersection between his experiences, and what he does to help others now. They also touch on the importance of mindset and control. The magic of simple, responsible decision making and more!

Our personal lives and professional lives. Two areas typically kept completely separate, never to see one another.

In reality, who we are, what we’ve been through and what we “do” for a living are all inextricably linked. 

Failure informs what we do in the future. Adversity helps build us stronger. Mistakes are what make us.. well, human.

These aren’t things to be ignored, but experiences to be embraced for the true growth potential they provide.

Today’s guest and episode focuses on this very fact. 

Michael Stephenson is a community leader and marketing expert with over 20 years of experience driving significant change. His company, Brim and Brand is a full-service marketing and advertising agency. 

His focus on fostering meaningful progress and his leadership is second to none but most importantly, is informed by the challenges and obstacles he faced in his own life as a young man – which we examine in this episode.

Additionally Michael shares his blueprint for others, what inspires him to “give back” and enrich his community, his 3 big takeaways from someone starting over and more great nuggets of wisdom!

As we close out 2025, Jahmaal Marshall reflects on a powerful year of growth, leadership, and transformation within the Listen Then Speak community.

In this episode, Jahmaal explores the often-overlooked reality of high-functioning burnout, especially among senior leaders, high performers, and business owners who appear successful on the outside but are silently carrying exhaustion, emotional overload, and unspoken resentment.

You’ll hear insights drawn from client experiences (shared with full confidentiality) that reveal the financial, emotional, and relational cost of high-functioning codependency - and why managing symptoms is no longer enough.

This episode also sets the stage for what’s coming in 2026, including deeper conversations, expanded impact, and new ways for leaders to do the root work that leads to sustainable success.

Before you go, Jahmaal invites you to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and continue building this global movement of leaders who are learning to listen first - so they can lead with clarity, alignment, and purpose.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Why burnout in high performers often goes unnoticed

The hidden link between high achievement and high-functioning codependency

How subconscious beliefs quietly drain time, energy, and revenue

The true cost of over-responsibility and people-pleasing in leadership

What changes when leaders do the root work instead of managing symptoms

Senior leaders, C-suite executives, and business owners are succeeding at unprecedented levels—yet many are silently battling stress, burnout, anxiety, and disordered boundaries.

In this powerful episode, Jahmaal Marshall speaks directly to high-performing leaders who feel exhausted behind the scenes and have normalized overwhelm as “the cost of success.”

This is not a conversation about productivity hacks or time management. It’s an invitation to uncover the subconscious beliefs driving overfunctioning, chronic stress, and emotional depletion, and to introduce a sustainable, measurable path forward.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I can’t slow down-too many people depend on me.”

“Rest feels uncomfortable or unproductive.”

“I’m successful, but I’m not at peace.”

This episode was created for you.
