Positively Powerful | Episode Notes with Scott Fitzgerald & Stacey Steinmiller

Eight Years, a Messy Middle, and Where the Nuts Are

It's Roc Vox's eighth anniversary and Scott is in a bit of a low. A deal that seemed imminent quietly fizzled out, and the emotional spiral that followed became the whole episode.

In a good way.

What started as Scott processing disappointment turned into one of the most honest conversations we've had about what entrepreneurship actually feels like from the inside — the desperate energy, the self-protection habits, the identity stories we've been carrying since childhood, and why none of the external fixes work until the internal stuff shifts.

Stacey shares the framework she's used with clients for over a decade: your emotions belong in the backseat, not behind the wheel. The kid back there still needs to be heard. Just not running the show.

Topics in this episode:

Why your energy going into an opportunity matters more than the opportunity itself

The difference between a real low and unmet expectations

How self-doubt is actually a protection strategy — and what it's protecting you from

Why identity has to shift before behavior does

What a year of coaching has actually changed for Scott

Why Stacey's approach isn't about giving you a formula — it's about finding yours

Happy 8 years, Roc Vox.
