Most people don’t struggle because they lack ambition, intelligence, or self-awareness.

They struggle because they don’t know how to use what they already know about themselves.

In this episode, I’m joined by Phillip Ramos, a Certified Gallup CliftonStrengths Coach and co-founder of ANKRPoint, to talk about what really drives sustainable growth—especially for high-performing people who still feel stuck.

We explore why mindset alone doesn’t create momentum, how identity shapes decision-making, and what happens when people try to fix their weaknesses instead of intentionally building their strengths. Phillip also shares practical ways to turn strengths awareness into real-world results, even if you’ve never taken a personality or strengths assessment.

This conversation is for entrepreneurs, leaders, and growth-minded people who want clarity, alignment, and progress—without burnout or forcing themselves into someone else’s version of success.In this episode, we cover:

Why insight doesn’t automatically lead to change

The difference between awareness and execution

How strengths misalignment creates frustration and burnout

What actually separates people who move forward from those who stay stuck

One small way to start using your strengths differently this week

If you care about reaching your goals in a way that fits who you are, this episode will shift how you think about growth.
