Episode 54:

In this episode of Raw and Relentless, Bo DePaoli sits down with business strategist and human behavior expert Carly Pepin to dissect one of the most dangerous lies in entrepreneurship — that freedom means working less.

Carly shares powerful stories from her own career and her clients, including the jaw-dropping account of a founder who retired, only to spiral into boredom, bad habits, and massive financial loss — until reconnecting with his mission brought him back to life.

You’ll learn:

• Why “work-life balance” often kills purpose

• The critical difference between structuring a business for escape vs. expansion

• How to avoid building a company you resent

• The mindset shifts that turn burnout into fulfillment

Whether you’re a founder, executive, or investor, this conversation will challenge how you think about time, success, and the purpose behind your work.
