You Can't Scale Dysfunction (Why Most Founders Aren't Ready to Go Viral) | Remy Davenport 10/07/2026

You Can't Scale Dysfunction (Why Most Founders Aren't Ready to Go Viral) | Remy Davenport Remy Davenport has generated 850 million views for his clients, and he still turns founders away. His reason: a platform only amplifies what's already inside you, and he won't put a megaphone on dysfunction. Stephen Scoggins sits down with Remy, a content strategist who builds platforms for faith-led founders, to explore one of the hardest questions in leadership: when are you ready to be seen, and when is God still building you in the hidden season? Remy opens up about shutting down two businesses at the same time with no income, no savings, and a baby on the way. He also shares the co-founder fallout that taught him what dysfunction really costs. Stephen reveals the one line that redefined his entire message: you can't scale dysfunction. In this episode: - Why your platform will only amplify what's already inside you - The Gandhi sugar story and what real credibility looks like - Why imposter syndrome can mean you're teaching what you haven't lived - How Remy's clients create 36 pieces of content in 3 hours - How the algorithm actually works now, and how to reach your real followers - Why "who you're becoming" matters more to God than what you're building This is the Lion and Lamb methodology in action: the boldness to build a platform, paired with the humility to let God build you first.

What's Yours to Carry? The Question That Ends Excuses | Dan Sachkowsky 09/16/2026

What's Yours to Carry? The Question That Ends Excuses | Dan Sachkowsky He had the mansion, the exotic cars, and every marker of "made it" by age 24 — and none of it was real. It took a heart attack to show him why. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Dan Sachkowsky — performance coach, founder of Big D Coaching, and author of the upcoming book Following Your Way Uphill — for a conversation about what happens when strength becomes the very thing that's holding you back. Dan built his first business at 17 with no idea what he was doing, chased every marker of success he could get his hands on, and lost it all more than once before he understood why. He and Stephen unpack the moment a heart attack forced him to confront that his focus had been off for years, the "systems first, people second" mindset that finally got him out of his own way, and why so many entrepreneurs think they're serving their families when they're really just serving their own ego. This one lives right at the center of the Lion and Lamb methodology, the drive and discipline to build something real, paired with the humility to release control before it costs you everything. In this episode: Why founders who try to do everything themselves are the actual bottleneck in their business The delegation trap Dan calls "holding their shirt," and how it keeps teams from growing Why "I'm doing this for my family" is often a story entrepreneurs tell themselves How a heart attack forced Dan to rebuild his company — and himself — on purpose The difference between a leader who intimidates and one who protects Why "selfish" isn't a dirty word, and how taking care of yourself is what lets you actually serve others Where Dan's Lion still runs hot, and where the Lamb has saved him more than once Connect with Coaching: If this episode challenged you, do us a favor and follow the show, leave a rating and review, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Why You Snap At People You Love, The ALIGN Method, & Why ADHD Isn't A Disorder | Sara Hartley Your body knows if a room is safe before your brain even understands why. If you don't know what to do with that signal, it doesn't just disappear, it gets handed to the people who love you most. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Sara Hartley, ADHD and nervous system regulation coach and children's book author, to unpack the hidden physical sequence that happens in your body in the seconds before you snap, and the exact tool she built to interrupt it in under 60 seconds. It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in real time: the strength to lead and perform at a high level, paired with the humility to stop, name what's happening in your body, and choose a response instead of a reaction. What you'll learn in this episode: Why the people you love most usually get the worst of your dysregulation, and it's not because you don't love them The physical "sword and shield" sensation Stephen felt every time he was triggered, before he had a name for it The difference between fight, flight, freeze and fawn, and why some people fully disassociate and don't remember what happened The ALIGN method: the 5-step, under-60-second tool for shifting from reaction to response Why high-capacity leaders are so good at hiding dysfunction, and what it's actually costing them Why "you're not set in your ways, you're choosing to stay in your way" Episode Highlights: 0:00 Trailer 1:09 Welcome & meet Sara Hartley 4:36 Understanding triggers & dysregulation 22:20 The ALIGN Method: reaction to response in 60 seconds 28:01 Breaking patterns you've carried for decades 36:37 Sara's story: ADHD, burnout & Lyme disease 46:14 Why leaders hide dysfunction 58:22 Reframing ADHD as a superpower 1:01:40 Parenting & regulating at home 1:12:43 Sara's free tools, quiz & where to find her 1:16:37 Rapid fire round Connect with Sara Hartley: Website (free ALIGN resources, quiz & children's books): saralouishartley.com Instagram: Connect with Stephen Scoggins: Website: stephenscoggins.com Instagram: instagram.com/stephen_scoggins TikTok: tiktok.com/@stephen_scoggins Facebook: facebook.com/stephenscoggins LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/stephenscoggins If this episode resonated with you, the best way to support the show is to follow One Part Lion, One Part Lamb wherever you're listening and leave a quick rating and review, it's what helps this conversation reach more high-capacity leaders who need to hear it! /episode/index/show/stucktounstoppable/id/42655910

Why This CEO Slept In His Car For His Team | Joel Puthoff 08/19/2026

Why This CEO Slept In His Car For His Team | Joel Puthoff Leaders who do deep soul-level work outperform everyone else by 20 to 1, and Joel Puthoff found his way into that number the hard way: sleeping in his car for a week just to make payroll. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Joel Puthoff, CEO and co-founder of Linxy and author of Capability Fuel, to talk about what actually separates leaders who build lasting capacity from those who just borrow it. Joel shares the season he nearly broke himself trying to keep his team paid, the reframe that got him through it, and the philosophy he's built out of it since: choose your hard, or hard will choose you. It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action, the strength to keep building through the hardest seasons, paired with the humility to let those seasons actually change you. In this episode: The real story behind Joel sleeping in his car to make payroll, and why he calls it gratitude, not shame The difference between building capacity and borrowing it Why "choose your hard, or hard will choose you" should be your operating philosophy The study showing soul-level leaders outperform everyone else 20 to 1 How Stephen turned $4.68 into $468, and what it taught him about sacrifice The shift from performance to authenticity, and why Stephen calls it "truly magnetic" How Linxy is using technology to bring people back into real, in-person connection About Joel Puthoff: CEO and co-founder of Linxy, an app helping people make real, in-person connections at events and venues.

4 Guests, 4 Gut-Punches: The Best of One Part Lion One Part Lamb 07/22/2026

Driving Uber Eats at 2AM to $450k+ a Year | Tayo Lusi 07/15/2026

Driving Uber Eats at 2AM to $450k+ a Year | Tayo Lusi A note that said "sorry, mom." A voice that said "it's not your time." That's where this conversation starts. My guest today is Tayo Lusi — founder of the 1% University, where he teaches AWS Cloud Engineering, personal branding, and sales to help people escape the 9-to-5 and build six-figure consulting businesses. But before any of that, Adetayo survived a suicide attempt, dropped out of college, and drove Uber Eats at 2am with a degree and three certifications and nothing to show for them. We talk about the moment his mentor saw something in him he couldn't see in himself. About the word "leverage" and how it rearranged everything he thought he knew about wealth. About scaling a business from $45K to $489K a year — and eventually to $200-300K a month at a 74% profit margin — not by hustling harder, but by getting aligned before he tried to accelerate. This one goes to some real places: shame, faith, the wrong game we're all taught to play, and what it costs to walk away from it. What we get into: Why "go to school, get a job" might be the wrong game, and how to tell The one word wealthy people live by that almost nobody teaches you How to actually choose a mentor — and the difference between vibes and proof Why alignment has to come before acceleration, in business and in life The word he received that stopped him cold: "I've called you to be a David, but you've been leading like a Saul" Why AI isn't taking jobs — it's exposing who refused to learn How to job stack the right way, ethically, to multiply your income If you've ever felt the weight of a life that looks fine on paper but doesn't feel true, this conversation is for YOU.

Ego vs. Soul: Why Successful Leaders Keep Self-Sabotaging | Dana Grant 07/01/2026

Ego vs. Soul: Why Successful Leaders Keep Self-Sabotaging | Dana Grant She spent years building a record-breaking, multi-million dollar business while the man she trusted most was quietly poisoning her. The world saw the awards, the income, the beautiful home. What it didn't see was 80 pounds of unprocessed grief, a staph infection eating away her legs, and a truth she wasn't allowed to say out loud. What she rebuilt after that truth finally broke open will change how you think about faith, ego, and what you're actually carrying for other people. Dana Grant is the bestselling author of Truth Within the Lie and co-founder of Cauliflower Foods, where she set unbreakable sales records and built a multi-million dollar business — all while privately battling addiction, medical betrayal, and a marriage built on a hidden truth. After her world collapsed in public, she did the deepest healing work of her life, rebuilt her relationship with her daughters, and now teaches leaders how to operate from soul instead of ego. This conversation is about what happens when the life you built on the outside stops matching what's true on the inside, and what it actually takes to let the mask down. In this episode: Why so many faith-led leaders perform integrity instead of living it, and how to spot it in yourself The difference between being married to the process and married to the outcome How imposter syndrome can build a record-breaking business and still leave you feeling like a fraud Why self-sabotage is often anger at yourself wearing someone else's name The real difference between ego and soul, and why most leaders confuse the two Why you don't need anyone else's blueprint, only your own How to rebuild trust with the people you love after years of hiding the truth Connect with Dana Grant: Website: Instagram: Follow Stephen Scoggins: Website: Instagram: TikTok: Facebook: LinkedIn: #LeadershipThroughCrisis #FaithAndBusiness #EntrepreneurMindset #ImposterSyndrome #SelfSabotage #PersonalDevelopment #WomenInLeadership #TrustWithinTheLie #OvercomingAdversity #MindsetMatters #FaithForwardLeadership #LeadershipPodcast #OnePartLionOnePartLamb /episode/index/show/stucktounstoppable/id/41904915

He Built It From Nothing, Got Betrayed at the Top, and Lost Everything in One Morning | Josh Kosnick 05/27/2026

He Built It From Nothing, Got Betrayed at the Top, and Lost Everything in One Morning | Josh Kosnick What does it actually cost to win at work while slowly losing everything that matters most? I've been sitting with that question since this conversation ended. My guest today, Josh Kosnick, was at the absolute peak of his career, leading a firm of 250 people, hitting every metric, checking every box, and in one morning at a Marriott, it was gone. A fabricated lawsuit from someone he mentored. A company he loved that chose the easy way out. And a drive home where he had to pull over and fall apart in a parking lot because his whole world had just collapsed. But here's what got me. It wasn't the betrayal that broke him open. It was going down to his basement months later, opening boxes of trophies and accolades, and realizing, none of it meant anything. His marriage, his kids, his faith, his health, all still intact. Everything else? Just stuff. That moment is where the LQ Blueprint was born. And honestly, this framework might be the most practical, honest roadmap for high-achieving men that I've ever heard laid out in a single conversation. We go deep on why your priorities are probably in the wrong order, what it really means to lead yourself before you lead anyone else, the difference between being kind and being nice, why vulnerability isn't weakness, it's actually your strongest leadership tool, and the question that stopped me cold: are you chasing your wife the way you're chasing your goals? I PROMISE you, you need to hear Josh's story. Listen all the way through. The framework at the end alone is worth it.

He Built a 7-Figure Business While Battling Stage 4 Cancer | Buddy Clay 05/20/2026

He Built a 7-Figure Business While Battling Stage 4 Cancer | Buddy Clay He was 33, healthy, building a mental health company from scratch, and a routine mole check came back stage three cancer. Four years later, it came back stage four. What he built in the middle of that will change how you think about leadership, faith, and what you're actually standing on. Buddy Clay is the founder of New Hope Institute, a multi-seven-figure mental health and addiction recovery organization, and he built it while battling cancer twice, delivering his daughter on his kitchen floor two weeks before opening his doors, and learning to lead a team through the most vulnerable season of his life. After corporate norms, health crises, and moments of pure overwhelm, he chose to stop performing and start leading from the truth of his story. This conversation is about what it actually looks like to lead through the fire, build with faith, and come out on the other side more whole than when you went in. If you're scaling a business while carrying something heavy, wondering if your team can survive without you, or just trying to stay anchored when nothing feels stable, this one is going to shift something in you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why minimizing your first crisis almost guarantees a bigger one, and what to do differently when the storm first hits How a stage four cancer diagnosis forced Buddy to stop being the bottleneck and finally build a team that runs without him The difference between motivational speaking and real authority, and why the people you lead can always tell which one you are What stress does to cancer, cortisol, and your company at the same time, and why "pushing through" is often the most dangerous choice Why identity isn't something you find, it's something you surrender to, and how crisis strips away the performance to reveal who you actually are How to show up for your team when you don't have the answers, don't have the energy, and aren't sure of the outcome The three steps Buddy uses to lead through any crisis: authenticity, boundaries, and building the foundation before the storm arrives Connect with Buddy Clay: Website: buddyclay.com Follow Stephen Scoggins: Website: stephenscoggins.com Instagram & TikTok: @stephen_scoggins One Part Lion One Part Lamb with Stephen Scoggins is available every week wherever you listen to podcasts.
