Success doesn’t always silence the feeling that you’re not enough. In this live coaching conversation, Jason works with Kirk to uncover the deeper force behind his constant need to prove himself. What begins as a conversation about imposter syndrome reveals an old survival pattern built around earning interest, approval, and safety. The breakthrough arrives through one powerful question: “What would you have loved to hear from your dad?” “I’m interested in you.” This episode explores why achievement cannot resolve an internal lack of safety—and what changes when you stop trying to fix yourself and finally become present with yourself. In this episode: * The hidden cost of constantly proving yourself * Why success doesn’t automatically eliminate imposter syndrome * How childhood experiences shape adult performance * The difference between fixing yourself and being present with yourself * What happens when you become genuinely interested in who you are Ready to uncover what’s actually blocking your next level?

One of my most personal and raw episodes. What separates greatness from average? It isn’t how much money you’re making, how successful you currently appear, or whether everything in your life is going according to plan. Greatness is the standard you hold when the results aren’t there—and what you’re willing to face when nobody is watching. In this episode, Jason shares how his understanding of greatness has evolved from chasing external success to building internal integrity. He explores why real growth happens at the edge of discomfort, how avoiding unresolved problems can pass them to the next generation, and why your most difficult seasons may be shaping you into the person you were always supposed to become. Jason also opens up about the personal transformation that followed his divorce, the unexpected change in his relationship with his sons, and the deeper foundation he has built by confronting what he once tried to fix, outrun, or avoid. In this episode: • Why your current results do not determine whether you’re playing at the level of greatness • The difference between working harder and operating from a higher standard • Why growth requires entering the uncomfortable gray area • How unresolved patterns get passed to your children • Why courage—not the absence of fear—is the foundation of greatness • How internal integrity strengthens your confidence and personal power • Why your next level may be an internal evolution before it becomes an external one Greatness is what you do when nobody is watching.

Lance Metsger is a dentist, entrepreneur, and owner of My Smile Folsom. He is also working 70–80 hours a week, managing everything from patient care and hiring to payroll, training, IT, billing, and front-office operations. In this live coaching session, Jason helps Lance see that his biggest obstacle is not a lack of effort or clarity. It is the precision-and-perfection frame he brings from dentistry into every part of the business. Jason challenges him to stop trying to build the perfect operation and start building the next functional version—one simple system at a time. They discuss: Why perfection becomes a liability when growing a business How to escape the constant cycle of reacting and plugging holes Using AI to create procedures, training documents, and operational systems The difference between doing everything yourself and taking ownership of getting it done How to empower an office manager instead of becoming the operator Why Lance’s difficult first 18 months were actually foundational work The frame that may be signaling, “We aren’t ready for more clients yet” How to recognize that you may be much closer to a breakthrough than you think This conversation is for entrepreneurs who are working harder than ever but still feel behind. You may not be failing. You may simply be building the foundation—and continuing to operate as though you are still in the woods after you have already found solid ground.

Shawn Clark is a full-time nurse, father of three, and first-generation high earner with a goal of making $500K a year—but he’s only 10% certain he can do it. In this live coaching session, Jason uncovers what’s really holding Shawn back: fear of failure, waiting for the perfect opportunity, and believing he needs to know exactly how before fully committing. Shawn shifts from searching for certainty to making the decision that changes everything: I will not stop. If you have a big target but keep hesitating to get fully in the game, this episode is for you.

If working harder were the answer, you would already have the results you want. 

Most high performers obsess over strategy—constantly searching for a better plan, tactic, or action. But your results aren’t determined by strategy alone. They’re shaped by the invisible mental operating system controlling what you believe is possible, which opportunities you see, and how you respond to fear, scarcity, and imposter syndrome.

In this clip from Episode 14, Jason explains:

Your current operating system created your current reality. If you want radically different results, you can’t simply change the strategy—you have to upgrade the system running it.

 Dipping down is not a problem . 

 It's part of the process . 

 That is never going to end . 

 Because I'm never going to stop growing . 

 So I welcome the process . 

 Because dipping down has nothing to do with me creating success . 

 I create success because I'm aligned with success . 

 That's a fact .

You can have money and still feel financially scarce. In this episode, Jason explains why earning more doesn’t automatically eliminate scarcity—and how logic, proof, and your current circumstances can prevent you from seeing new possibilities. Scarcity may actually signal the presence of an elevated financial frame: there’s money and opportunity somewhere that you haven’t found yet. The shift is learning to stop defining what’s possible by what you can currently see.

You know you have more potential—but part of you may still be choosing safety, approval, and belonging over your full power. In this episode of The Jason Drees Show, Jason explains why becoming unstoppable isn’t about taking more action. It’s about confronting the fears and old stories that make you hesitate, shrink, or settle for less than you want. You’ll learn how to recognize when you stopped being unstoppable, release the identity keeping you anchored to the past, and accept the consequences of becoming the person you were meant to be.
