If you’ve ever grown so fast you barely recognized yourself… this one is for you.

In this conversation with Leila Hormozi, we go behind the curtain of rapid business growth — beyond revenue, beyond strategy — and into identity.

We talk about criticism, visibility, filtering yourself to avoid judgment, and what really happens when your business grows faster than your comfort zone.

From the outside, explosive growth can look like a highlight reel. From the inside? It can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and even painful.

Leila shares why “the more you want to grow, the more you’re going to be in pain” — not because growth is bad, but because it demands an identity shift.

If you’re a 7-figure founder scaling higher… Hiring leaders for the first time… Outgrowing your old systems… Or white-knuckling your next level…

You’re not broken. You’re evolving.

This episode is your permission slip to embrace the stretch — and lead with honesty along the way.

In this episode, I share one of the most transformative moments of my life: watching my mom relearn how to walk after aggressive cancer treatments. It was humbling, heartbreaking, and taught me a core truth—if you don’t believe in yourself, nothing else matters.

Even with the support of loved ones, if you lack belief in your vision, your goals, or your ability to make it happen… your dreams will stall.

So what does belief really look like in business? It’s not about pretending everything’s fine or reciting affirmations in the mirror. It’s about choosing to lead with intention, not insecurity. It’s about seeing your future self clearly and making daily decisions that align with her.

This isn’t just mindset fluff—it’s a roadmap for making belief your business strategy.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, afraid, or like your “baby steps” aren’t working fast enough… this episode will remind you that every small, imperfect action counts. And belief? That’s the first one.

Let’s take that step—together.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:00] Why discomfort is the price of change (and what baby steps really teach us)

[01:45] The emotional moment watching my mom relearn how to walk—and what it taught me about belief

[02:38] Hard truth: If you don’t believe in you, your dreams won’t work

[03:39] The #1 mistake entrepreneurs make when trying to grow: consulting their past

[04:33] A guided exercise to envision your future self and reverse engineer their habits

[06:10] How small decisions (like online grocery delivery!) reflect your identity as a future CEO

[08:02] Why you must act like your future self today—not once you “arrive”
