Do you ever feel like you’re building a business based on someone else’s blueprint rather than what feels authentic to you?

Following strategies that don’t quite sit right.

Building relationships that just feel… off.

Pushing yourself down a path that looks good on paper, but feels heavy and draining.

If this sounds familiar, you probably need to reconnect with your intuition.

In this episode, I’m joined by leadership coach Liza Leiss, and we’re diving into how to reconnect with your intuition and build a business that actually feels good to run - while still achieving your goals.

Liza has an MBA and has helped hundreds of founders scale without burning out, and she shares practical strategies to help you get back on your own path and move forward with clarity.

Covered in this episode:

  • Why so many creative business owners ignore their intuition and the hidden costs this has.
  • How to spot the symptoms of building a business that’s out of alignment.
  • What really creates fulfillment in your life.
  • The mindset shift that will help you stop overthinking and start trusting yourself again.
  • And much more…

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
