Mitch Matthews had it all—promotions, paychecks, and prestige. But within days of starting his “dream job,” he knew he had walked through the wrong door. In this episode of The Climb, host Teko Bailey talks with the renowned coach, entrepreneur, and Dream Think Do podcast host about the tension between external success and internal misalignment—and the courage it takes to course correct.

Together, they unpack what it means to chase purpose over comfort, how prayer and experimentation can reframe setbacks, and why becoming an "encourager of encouragers" changed Mitch’s entire trajectory. If you’re in a season of transition, wrestling with identity, or unsure what your next move should be, this is the episode for you.
