Here’s the truth that no one talks about: just because you can scale fast doesn’t mean you should—especially when you are the brand.

In this vulnerable episode of Million Dollar Year, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really cost me to build a seven-figure personal brand—and how I nearly lost my marriage, my health, and my sanity in the process.

If you've ever looked at someone else's highlight reel and wondered, "Am I doing it wrong?"—this one’s for you.

Because scaling without systems will break you. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Let’s talk about how to grow big and build a life you actually want to live.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why hitting 7-figures doesn’t always feel like “winning”
• The hidden dangers of building a business based on you
• How the “persona prison” keeps you stuck in performance mode
• What success actually cost me—and what I did to rebuild
• The 3 pillars of sustainable scale that won’t burn you out
