What if the key to scaling your business isn't working harder but learning how to duplicate yourself?

In this episode of The Ambition Lab, Wisdom sits down with Michael Carbonneau, founder of Coaching by Rosewood, general contractor, and financial advisor, to unpack the difference between grinding inside your business and actually building a business that can operate without you.

Michael started with nothing at 19 and learned entrepreneurship through experience on job sites, in business, and in the financial world. One of his biggest breakthroughs came when he built his first crew and realized he could multiply his impact instead of doing everything himself.

They explore the shift from operator to CEO, why so many entrepreneurs are running on "hustle and hope," the importance of financial and operational structure, and why mindset alone isn't enough to build a scalable business.

In this episode of The Ambition Lab, Wisdom sits down with Mark L. Vincent, Ph.D., EPC, a Succession Process Consultant and author of The Maestro Effect: Future Value, Succession, and Legacy in Business.

Mark brings a deeply personal perspective to the conversation. After walking through sixteen years of his wife's battle with cancer while raising a family and building organizations, he came to understand transition, legacy, and letting go in a way that goes far beyond business.

Together, Wisdom and Mark explore what it means for leaders to enter the Third Turn of executive leadership the stage where success is no longer measured by how much you can accomplish yourself, but by what can continue to thrive without you.

They discuss succession, founder identity, ego, future value, leadership versus management, and what it really takes to build an organization that can outlast its founder.

It may be the final and most profound act of leadership.

Some of the Most Meaningful Chapters Are Written After We Think the Story Is Finished

What if your story isn't over even when life makes you feel like it is?

In this episode of The Ambition Lab, Wisdom sits down with Faye Roots, an Australian author, storyteller, wife, mother, grandmother, and woman of faith who is still writing and creating well into her eighties.

Faye shares how writing helped her navigate the devastating loss of her daughter Alison, how her faith has shaped seven decades of storytelling, and why she believes purpose doesn't have an expiration date.

From winning her first essay competition at twelve to writing novels, memoirs, poetry, devotionals, and children's books, Faye's journey is a powerful reminder that creativity, purpose, and meaningful contribution can continue through every season of life.
