In this episode, I’m diving headfirst into something most people run from—interpersonal conflict. The truth is, average entrepreneurs avoid confrontation because they crave comfort more than growth. They don’t want to be challenged or told they’re wrong. But if you want to build something that lasts, you need to reframe conflict not as chaos, but as clarity. You need it to sharpen your thinking, refine your processes, and get the truth on the table.

I’ll break down why an upset client or a frustrated team member isn’t a threat—it’s a gift. If they’re still talking, you still have a shot at solving the problem. Silence is the real killer. I’m sharing why elite entrepreneurs welcome tough feedback, encourage uncomfortable conversations, and treat friction as fuel. Because if you’re in business, you’re in the Intel business—and feedback is your most valuable currency.

So here’s your challenge: Stop being soft. Stop mistaking politeness for progress. If you’ve been dodging tough conversations just to keep the peace, you’re not protecting your business—you’re weakening it. Start creating a culture where truth is rewarded, where blowback is welcomed, and where you show up ready to solve. That’s how real leaders operate. That’s how real businesses are built.
