I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. There's a memory I've carried for most of my life as proof that I was worthless and would never make money. I've tried coaching it, journaling it, meditating on it, and even hypnosis. When a wound like that won't heal, no matter what you throw at it, you assume the problem is you. In this episode, I...

You made it through the hard season. The money was gone, the odds were bad, and somehow you figured it out. Then someone called it resilience, and you waved it off, because you had no choice, so it doesn't count. In this episode (Part 1 of a 3-part series), I tell you how a kid who grew up with no...

You assume more grit will fix it. In this episode, I unpack why intentional rest is the missing ingredient for...

You’re not broken because your last few jobs haven’t worked.
You’re not flaky because you’re already thinking about leaving… again.
You’re not “bad at work” because your current role feels like slogging through wet cement.
You might just be a really great plant… in the wrong environment.
In this episode, I’m sharing my “humans as plants” framework to help you figure out whether the problem is you or the job, how to understand what kind of environment you actually thrive in, and how to start looking for roles that are a match for your nervous system, your ambition, and your brain.
If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I just got lucky before and I’m actually not that good,” this one is for you.
🎯 In this episode, I riff on:
↠ Why a string of “bad jobs” doesn’t mean you’re a bad employee
↠ The “humans as plants” framework and what it reveals about job fit
↠ How the wrong environment quietly erodes your confidence and performance
↠ My own story of coming back from maternity leave and suddenly feeling like a failure
↠ Specific questions to ask yourself about company size, stage, culture, sales cycle, and mission
↠ How to audit your past managers (best and worst) to decode your “plant care instructions”
↠ What your brain’s ARAS filter is and how to use it to actually find better opportunities
↠ How to decide if you should reshape your current role or start planning an exit
↠ Why it’s okay if this job is not a fit and what to do next without burning everything down
