In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy is joined by Entrepreneur, Podcaster, and Author Mike Malatesta to talk about the importance of humility in facing adversity and how he got out of the valley of uncertainty he was stuck in. He also talks about his book Owner Shift: How Getting Selfish Got Me Unstuck, which explains why so many entrepreneurs get stuck and how they can get free once again.

Mike Malatesta is a servant [and selfish] leader with a proven talent for developing exciting vision and mission initiatives, building the teamwork talent and systems necessary to realize those initiatives, and executing with a team to deliver the desired results.

He loves supporting and helping entrepreneurs bring their dreams to fruition, breakthrough barriers and achieve massive success. He has lived in their shoes since he was 26, and he has been through - and is still on - the roller coaster they are. He has experienced the excitement, pain, grit, and mistakes that come with every entrepreneurial journey.

He is an entrepreneur who has helped start, grow, and sell two amazingly successful waste management companies. One sold for mid-8 figures and the other sold for low-9 figures. He knows how hard it is to be an entrepreneur and what a long shot it can be to achieve the success and freedom that are the entrepreneurial goal. He also knows what it takes to get there.

“Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much, there’s nothing else you can give, and nobody will care for you.” - Karl Lagerfeld

More often than not, people think that they have to do everything they can for others for as long as necessary. Everything’s good until they come to a point where they ask themselves why they’re doing so much for other people. Or it could be the other person feeling like they’re not given enough chances to show what they’re capable of, which leads to resentment. In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy talk about how doing too much or sacrificing yourself for others, no matter how pure your intentions are, is not always good. She also shares what you can do to turn it around to benefit you and the other person for a much harmonious relationship.
