Why Entrepreneurs Struggle With Control, Rejection & Mindset (And How to Fix It)
Most entrepreneurs fail not because of strategy—but because of mindset. This episode with Karina Michel, founder of Tallulah Films, breaks down rejection, flow state, control, and how entrepreneurs must adapt in an AI-driven world. Entrepreneurs often believe success comes from control, perfect planning, and constant hustle—but this mindset leads to burnout, rejection fatigue, and stalled growth. In this conversation, we explore: Why rejection is part of every entrepreneurial journey How mindset shapes confidence and decision-making The danger of forcing outcomes instead of following flow Why storytelling matters in business and branding How AI is changing entrepreneurship faster than most people realize This episode is for founders, creators, and business owners who want clarity, resilience, and a stronger internal foundation in uncertain times. 🔔 Super Entrepreneurs Podcast To watch more videos and get new video updates please subscribe to our channel and stay with us: ✅ Stay Connected With Us: 👉 Facebook: 👉 SEP Facebook: 👉 Instagram: 👉 SEP Instagram: 👉 X: 👉 LinkedIn: 👉 Website: ============================= Chapter Stamps: 00:00 – Entrepreneur Mindset Explained How control, seriousness, and perfectionism quietly shape entrepreneurial stress. 05:12 – Why Control Creates Burnout Trying to control people, outcomes, and processes leads to frustration and exhaustion in business. 09:18 – Flow State vs Hustle Culture Why forcing outcomes backfires — and how flow creates better opportunities than over-planning. 12:46 – Why Authentic Conversations Beat Perfection Letting go of scripts, mistakes, and “perfect delivery” creates real connection and trust. 17:08 – Storytelling as a Business Skill How storytelling connects emotionally, builds brands, and works across business and media. 22:29 – The Biggest Myth About Success & Entertainment Why success is never linear — and what people don’t see behind the scenes. 24:12 – Rejection & Confidence in Business Why rejection is not personal, how to reframe it, and why confidence is an internal skill. 27:24 – Mindset Is the Foundation of Every Business How internal beliefs, energy, and self-training shape long-term success. 29:10 – AI and the Future of Entrepreneurship How AI, automation, and tools will change work — and where humans still matter most. 33:34 – Using AI Without Losing Authenticity How entrepreneurs can use AI ethically while keeping their human voice. 36:47 – Final Takeaway: Letting Go Creates Growth Why flow, mindset, and alignment matter more than control and force.

A Child Sleeping in a Suitcase Changed Everything: How Luke Mickelson Now Builds 90,000 Beds a Year
A Child Sleeping in a Suitcase Changed Everything: How Luke Mickelson Now Builds 90,000 Beds a Year Imagine walking into a home and seeing a 6-year-old child's "bedroom"—completely empty except for a pile of clothes in the corner. That's where she slept. Every. Single. Night. That devastating moment changed Luke Mickelson's life forever. What started as a simple Boy Scout activity became the largest bed-building charity in the world: Sleep in Heavenly Peace. The heartbreaking reality: Over 1 MILLION applications from families whose children have no bed 3% of all children sleep on floors, couches, or worse Most people have NO IDEA this crisis exists in their own community The incredible response: 315,000 beds delivered to children in need 430+ chapters across 4 countries 90,000 beds built THIS YEAR ALONE 1,500+ grant applications submitted annually using AI Recently purchased a mattress manufacturing company to scale faster In this raw, powerful conversation, Luke shares: ✅ The exact moment that transformed emotion into unstoppable action ✅ Why your "desire to act" must be greater than your "desire to change" ✅ How to scale a mission from your garage to 430 chapters worldwide ✅ The 3-step model that makes starting a chapter simple (even with a full-time job) ✅ How AI is revolutionizing nonprofit operations (1,500 grants/year!) ✅ Why organizations not using AI will be obsolete within years ✅ The scalability mistakes entrepreneurs make that kill growth ✅ How to find money for your mission (it's easier than you think) This isn't just about beds. It's about dignity. It's about childhood. It's about what happens when one person refuses to look away from a problem everyone else ignores. Luke's story proves that transformation doesn't require perfection—it requires action. Every single bed represents a child who will sleep safely tonight instead of on a pile of clothes, in a car, or on a cold floor. Your community has children sleeping on floors RIGHT NOW. Are you willing to be the one who changes that? ABOUT LUKE MICKELSON: Luke Mickelson is the founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, the world's largest bed-building charity. A former farm kid from Idaho with a passion for entrepreneurship, Luke has built a global movement that has delivered over 315,000 beds to children in need.

If you know your business should be bigger than it is... If you're tired of being the bottleneck in your own company... This conversation will change how you think about entrepreneurship forever.

You get to choose." - Charles Gaudet Watch now to discover how to transform from being trapped IN your business to building a truly predictable, scalable system that works without you. 🎯 Ready to break free from the founder's trap? 💡 Want to turn your challenges into rocket fuel? 🚀 Time to build the business you actually wanted?

Why Entrepreneurs Self-Sabotage Even When They Want Success

Why Entrepreneurs Self-Sabotage Even When They Want Success
Free 3 day 1-on-1 Breakthrough Consultation for Entrepreneurs stuck at the same revenue ceiling 10 spots per month | Real Transformation | Apply 👇 Why do entrepreneurs keep sabotaging their own progress even when they want success more than anything? Why do they repeat the same patterns, ruin good opportunities, lose discipline, or fall back into old habits? In this episode, Dr. Robb Kelly — widely known as “The Addiction Doctor” — breaks down the real science behind self-sabotage, trauma, and identity. This conversation reveals how childhood experiences quietly shape adult behavior, and why so many entrepreneurs struggle with patterns they cannot explain. We discuss why childhood trauma often becomes the root of people-pleasing, addiction, overworking, and burnout. Dr. Kelly explains how the brain rewires itself to treat certain behaviors as “survival,” and why traditional motivation or discipline will never work until identity is healed. He also shares a practical three-minute morning routine designed to reset the brain, shift your subconscious patterns, and rebuild a stronger inner identity. His personal story — from losing everything and dying twice to rebuilding his life through neuroscience — is one of the most powerful lessons on transformation and resilience. If you feel stuck, keep repeating the same mistakes, or feel “not enough” no matter how hard you work, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.

He Spent $40M on Horses Using DATA... Made $64M Back (First Triple Crown in 37 Years)

He Spent $40M on Horses Using DATA... Made $64M Back (First Triple Crown in 37 Years)
What happens when a Harvard-trained mind obsessed with data meets a 300-year-old sport run on “eyeballs and intuition”? You get Jeff Seder—and a blueprint for spotting champions before the world sees them. In this conversation, Jeff shares how he spent decades building a proprietary database on elite equine performance, inventing tools along the way (yes, including a portable ultrasound protocol for horses) to measure what actually predicts winning. He explains the counterintuitive metrics that matter, how EQB avoids breakdowns while extending careers, and the call that turned a $40M buying spree into $64M—culminating in American Pharoah, the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. It’s part Moneyball, part moonshot, and all relentless faith. If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or operator, you’ll love Jeff’s “show me the data” ethos, his rule for evaluating talent (equine or human), and the mindset that carried him through 20 years of “no” before everything clicked. Hit play to learn: Why elite-athlete data does not look like average data—and how that changes decisions The multi-variable checklist EQB uses to buy future winners (and what they ignore) How to de-risk big bets with original research, better questions, and patience The mindset move: “How do you know?” as a daily operating system Ready to think bigger—and smarter? Let’s dive in. ============================= Chapter Stamps: 00:52 Jeff Seder's Unique Background 01:24 The Birth of EQB and Early Challenges 03:58 Innovations in Horse Racing Technology 05:44 Breakthrough Successes and Key Partnerships 08:45 The Rise of American Pharaoh 10:29 Overcoming Industry Skepticism 15:10 Applying Data Analysis to Human Athletics Top 5 verbatim pull-out quotes (guest) “You have to build a database on the elite athletes to understand what there's different and what you're looking for and what to do with it.” “I actually, along the way, invented the first portable ultrasound machine to go in and look at a horse's heart…” “He's not fast, but he never slows down.” “Sell your house, don't sell this horse.” “The main thing that I did right, was not trusting anybody to give me an answer without asking them.

How Jason Moss 5×’d Growth Without Hustle: Intuition, Identity & Time Leverage
What if scaling didn’t cost you your health, weekends, or joy? In this episode, business coach Jason Moss shares how he walked away from hustle culture, realigned his identity, and built a multi–six-figure coaching business designed around freedom—then 5×’d growth while working less. We dive into the three levels of entrepreneurial energy (willful, intellectual, intuitive), the CEO Freedom Formula, and a simple time-log method that exposes hidden time leaks so you can delegate smart and focus on true needle-movers. If you’ve been “doing more” but feeling less alive, this one’s for you.

Emotional Intelligence Mastery with Dr. Robin Hills for Leaders and Entrepreneurs

Emotional Intelligence Mastery with Dr. Robin Hills for Leaders and Entrepreneurs
I had this amazing chat with Dr. Robin Hills, who started EI for Change, and honestly, it completely shifted how I think about emotional intelligence. This guy has reached over half a million people across 200+ countries, and he's figured out something really powerful—he takes behavioral science and mixes it with gamification and storytelling to help people actually discover what they're good at and what really matters to them. What blew me away was how he explained that emotional intelligence isn't some Western concept that doesn't translate—it's actually universal. And here's the kicker: he talks about emotions like they're data points, which sounds cold but is actually revolutionary when you think about it. Instead of just reacting when something triggers you, you can actually step back and respond thoughtfully. The best part? Robin breaks down these simple daily habits that anyone can use. We're talking practical stuff here—whether you're managing people, building something from scratch, or just trying to handle whatever life throws at you. This conversation is loaded with real tools you can actually use to get better at reading situations and getting the results you want. ============================= Chapter Stamps: 00:20 Meet Dr. Robin Hills: Emotional Intelligence Expert 03:25 The Power of Emotional Intelligence 10:07 Gamification and Fun in Learning 21:50 Understanding Emotional Intelligence 23:44 The Complexity of Emotions 30:40 Practical Tips for Emotional Awareness 33:17 Reflecting on the Conversation Pullout Quotes: “The key to that is for people to really understand what their core values are and what their strengths are.” “Emotions are data—they’re not positive or negative, they just are.” “Through silliness, we can get joy, humor, and energization without hurting others.” “My challenge is to create the right learning environment so people can take something positive away.” “Stop every so often and simply ask yourself—how am I feeling right now?” Social: Website: LinkedIn: Instagram: Facebook: Disclaimer: Please be aware that the opinions and perspectives conveyed in this podcast are solely those of our guests and do not necessarily represent the views, ideologies, or principles of Super Entrepreneurs Podcast, its associated entities, or any organizations they represent or are affiliated with.

How Phil Risher Generated $47M by Fixing This Hidden Marketing Problem
From $30K in debt to $47M in client growth 📈 Had Phil Risher on the podcast and this conversation was pure gold. He paid off his entire student loan debt in ONE YEAR, then built Flash Consulting into a powerhouse that's generated insane results for home service businesses. But here's what really caught my attention - he said most businesses think they need more leads when they actually just suck at managing the ones they already have. That hit hard because it's so true. The 3-part customer journey framework he breaks down is simple but brilliant. And the Loom video strategy? Such an easy way to stand out when everyone else is just sending generic follow-ups. If you're in home services or any service-based business, this episode is a must-listen.
