Why your days explode by 9:14 AM — and how to reclaim control.

Most leaders aren’t drowning because they’re bad.

They’re drowning because they’re overloaded, mentally jammed, and operating inside a fog disguised as busyness.

This episode breaks open one of the biggest hidden killers of leadership momentum: overwhelm without direction.

If your days collapse, your team slips, your temper rises, and your confidence cracks — you’re in the Overwhelm Trap.

Today, we start the arc that pulls you out of it for good.

What You’ll Learn

• The real reason overwhelm hits (it’s NOT workload — it’s lack of direction)
• Why “busy” leaders secretly struggle the most
• The 3 things overwhelm steals from you: clarity, confidence, control
• The dealership scenario that proves overwhelm is environmental, not personal
• The foundation of the Clarity Engine — your way out
• The 3 MIQs (Most Important Questions) that instantly cut through chaos
