Every entrepreneur knows the lure of the "next big thing." A new strategy, tool, or trend flashes across your feed, promising growth, ease, or salvation—and before you know it, you've spent days chasing it instead of deepening what's already working. In this episode, Erin Aquin and Steve Haase explore how to resist those distractions and stay anchored in your true business vision.

They share stories from coaching clients (and themselves) who've fallen for the illusion that the solution to every problem lies "out there"—with a new hire, a new program, or a total pivot. You'll learn how to recognize when that impulse is actually avoidance, and how to channel your creative energy into experiments that strengthen, rather than derail, your core business.

In this episode:

• The real cause of "shiny object syndrome" (and how self-trust changes everything)

• Why delegation isn't always the answer—and how to tell when it is

• How to reconnect with your vision and values before making big decisions

• Erin's practical test for knowing when a pivot is truly worth it

• How to scratch your creative itch without sacrificing your main source of impact

Whether you tend toward impulsive leaps or overthinking paralysis, this conversation will help you find the balance of disciplined experimentation anchored in clarity.

When life feels heavy—whether from personal struggles, business challenges, or the state of the world—it can be tempting to push discomfort aside, ignore it, or try to "positive think" our way through. But ignoring those in-between states leaves behind something valuable: the wisdom hidden in what we call Static.

In this episode, Erin and Steve unpack the HEAL Static process from their book Superabound: Live the Life the Universe is Dreaming for You. This practice helps you tune into the static rather than avoid it—because within that discomfort are insights that can transform how you relate to yourself and the world.

And here's the best part: you can gain the benefits in just five minutes a day.

• Why Static isn't an obstacle but a powerful inner signal

• How acknowledging discomfort leads to growth instead of retreat

• The difference between bypassing feelings and working with them

• An invitation to join the 30-Day Journey this October to experience the practice firsthand

This is more than a mindset hack—it's a tool for creating alignment, building resilience, and showing up for your Vision with greater clarity and courage. Five minutes is all it takes to start changing everything.

Running a business doesn't just test your strategy—it tests you. Your health, your relationships, your energy, even your sense of self-worth all show up in how you lead and grow.

In this episode, Erin and Steve make the case for whole life coaching—a coaching approach that goes beyond narrow niches and into the full reality of being a business owner. You'll hear why compartmentalizing your challenges into silos (money here, relationships there, strategy over there) can actually hold you back, and how bringing your whole self into the coaching relationship unlocks deeper growth and sustainability.

They also explore:

• The hidden cost of "tough love" coaching styles

• Why strategic rest is a growth tool, not a luxury

• How emotions aren't obstacles but sources of power

• What to look for (and avoid) in a coaching relationship

This isn't about warm fuzzies for the sake of it. It's about building a business that actually supports your life—not one that burns you out or isolates you.

If you've ever wondered whether coaching could make a deeper difference in your work and your life, this conversation will show you what's possible.

Starting a business can feel magical—and terrifying. That spark of an idea you can't stop thinking about has the power to change your life, but only if you can bring it into the world in a way that lasts.

In this episode of the Superabound Podcast, Erin and Steve dive into the journey of going from nothing but an idea to a real, thriving business. You'll hear the truth about what it takes to make the leap, why inspiration isn't enough, and how to navigate the doubts, risks, and inner noise that inevitably come up along the way.

You'll learn:

• The three core ingredients every founder needs when moving from idea to business.

• Why business is a spiritual practice—and how facing your inner doubts is just as important as getting customer feedback.

• The difference between old-school "business coaching" and collaborative strategic partnership that supports your vision.

• How to avoid the common traps that stop most new founders before they really start.
