What if you finally create the freedom you've been chasing—only to discover you still don't know how to stop working long enough to experience it?
After nearly 20 years in ministry, Tyler Hennessee stepped into entrepreneurship and built a business that has grown more than 800% since January. But behind the explosive growth is a familiar struggle: hundreds of people with access to him, a mind that rarely shuts off, friendships receiving less of him, and the uncomfortable realization that while he teaches others how to buy back their time, he's increasingly giving away his own.
In this conversation, Tyler opens up about the childhood independence that taught him not to burden others, the lifelong pressure to perform and prove his worth, the losses that changed his relationship with time, and the identity crisis that followed leaving ministry.
Ultimately, we wrestle with a question every ambitious person eventually has to answer: Are you stewarding your time as intentionally as you're stewarding your success?

What if everything you're working so hard to give your family isn't what they actually want most from you?
Tom Warner learned early that if he wanted something, he needed to work for it. That belief helped him build a highly successful career in financial services—but it also contributed to decades of 60-, 70-, even 90-hour workweeks, missed dinners with his children, distance in his marriage, and a tendency to use work as an escape from the parts of life he couldn't control.
Then painful experiences with his daughter and the loss of his mother forced Tom to confront a difficult question: What good is spending your life preparing for tomorrow if doing so costs you the people and moments you only have today?
In this conversation, Tom wrestles openly with regret, vulnerability, fatherhood, and whether the same traits that created his success also kept him from fully experiencing the life that success was supposed to create.

What if the place where you feel most successful has quietly become the place you go to avoid the parts of life you can't control?
Kyle Holmes relentlessly climbed the golf industry, became a GM at just 25, worked 90-hour weeks preparing for a major championship, and eventually achieved a longtime dream of owning a golf course.
But while Kyle kept winning professionally, work became the predictable place where he felt capable and in control—and staying there came at a cost: lost time with his five children, the breakdown of his marriage, and, as Kyle describes it, losing part of his happiness and his true identity along the way.
In this conversation, Kyle opens up about the painful contradiction of deeply loving your family while repeatedly failing to prioritize them—and what it took for him to finally confront the price he was paying for success.

Jake Grosswiler spent years chasing what most ambitious people believe will finally make them happy: winning, money, business success, and achievement. From the outside, he had built a life others admired.
But behind the victories was a painful reality—his identity had become inseparable from his performance, and every win only left him chasing the next one.
In this conversation, Jake shares the hidden costs of building your life around achievement, what success actually cost him, and the identity shift that finally brought him the peace he'd been searching for all along. If you've ever wondered why success still doesn't feel like enough, this episode is for you.

What if the story you tell yourself—that you're working this hard for your family—is actually the very thing pulling you away from them?
Dan Crabill spent years chasing money because he believed it would earn him respect, prove his worth, and eventually give him peace. He built and sold a successful company, accumulated the cars and houses he once dreamed about, and provided an incredible life for his family—but success also cost him his health, strained his marriage, and took away moments with his children he now says he'd pay any amount of money to get back.
Today, Dan's definition of success looks radically different. This conversation is about the danger of confusing providing with presence, why "just a little more" never becomes enough, and realizing before it's too late that the people you love don't need everything you're working to give them nearly as much as they need you.

From the outside, Kris was winning: an eight-figure business, more than 100 employees, a growing family, financial success, and people constantly telling him how well he was doing.
Behind closed doors, he was battling crippling anxiety, depression, substance abuse, panic attacks, and a relentless belief that no matter how much he accomplished, he still wasn't enough.
In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Kris shares how the same competitive operating system that helped him succeed nearly cost him the life he had worked so hard to build—and what finally happened when he stopped trying to outrun himself.

What if the success you've spent your life chasing is quietly costing you the life you actually want?
Behind every extraordinary success story is another story we rarely hear: the relationships tested, the years sacrificed, the pressure carried, the regrets accumulated, and the moments lost while pursuing more.
Welcome to The Cost of Success Podcast.
Hosted by high-performance mindset coach and credentialed hypnotherapist Paul Salter, this podcast features candid conversations with founders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs who have achieved every traditional measure of success on the outside—but have privately wrestled with what it cost them on the inside.
Each conversation explores what these high achievers endured, sacrificed, learned, regret, and would do differently today.
You'll hear honest discussions about ambition, identity, emotional repression, relationships, health, time, the inability to slow down, and the realization that getting everything you wanted may not feel anything like you expected.
After every conversation, Paul shares the one insight he can't stop thinking about—along with additional coaching perspectives to help you recognize the patterns shaping your own pursuit of success.
The goal isn't to convince you to stop pursuing more.
It's to help you enjoy what you've built, protect what matters most, and make the changes now that you don't want to regret later.
New conversations every Sunday morning.
