"You have to be scared to be courageous. Otherwise, you’re not being brave—you’re just doing something." Matthew Finlin

 

Let’s make something clear: your next level won’t come through control—it will come through surrender. And if you’re not willing to surrender the version of you that built your current success, you will never become the CEO who sustains millions with peace, alignment, and authority.

 

In this powerful, provocative conversation with Matthew Finlan, we dismantle the illusion that evolving your business starts with a pivot. Instead, we go deep into what it actually takes to release what’s no longer aligned, walk away from comfort, and obey the divine pull that dares you to become someone entirely new.

 

From uprooting his life and moving to Peru, to building a legacy rooted in spiritual alignment and youth empowerment, Matthew reminds us that the decision to follow divine direction—even when it doesn’t make sense—is the ultimate CEO move. If you’ve been feeling called to something more—but fear, comfort, or obligation are keeping you where you are—this episode is your confirmation.

This episode is a masterclass in evolution over effort, faith over fear, and abundance over attachment.
