If your marriage is tense, your team is unmotivated, and your growth feels stuck, it’s not a business issue. It’s an alignment issue. In this episode, Chris and I talk about the hardest season we’ve had in a long time. We almost lost momentum in our business, in our relationship, and in our rhythm. Not because something broke… but because we drifted out of sync. This is the behind-the-scenes truth from 600+ Date Mornings. W...

We’ve all said it. “I’m not ready.” “I’ll start when…” “Someday.” But what if that mindset is the very thing keeping you from living? In this episode, I go 1 Layer Deep with Hussein Hallak, entrepreneur, author of The Dark Art of Life Mastery, and mentor to over 6,000 startup founders, to dismantle the illusion of “someday” and challenge what we think we’re building toward. We talk about: The myth of work-life balance...

This is the episode I wish I had years ago. Because no one tells you what influence actually costs. Not the highlight reel. Not the headlines. The nights you can’t sleep. The kids you’re still raising. The pressure that builds while you're building. On this Date Morning, Chris and I go there. We talk about the heaviness that doesn’t make it into your content. There is a real tension between building a business and maintaini...

Everyone wants better content. But no one wants to be the face of their business. In this episode, I go 1 Layer Deep with Caitlin Durning, CEO of Meraki Media and social media strategist for luxury brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, to talk about what’s actually missing from most business owners’ marketing. We’re not talking trends. We’re talking identity. Because if you’re not willing to show up, your brand won’t either. C...

I didn’t want to show up for this Date Morning. Everything felt off. Nothing was working. But we showed up anyway, and this is the real, raw conversation that came out of it. This episode isn’t polished. It’s what it sounds like when two people are trying to lead a life, a marriage, and a business, and admit that alignment isn’t automatic. We talk about what happens when everything feels heavy, and why the hardest thing is...

Writing a book was never about checking off a box for me. It was about pulling truth out of chaos. About organizing pain into purpose. About building something so clear, it would still speak for me long after I’m gone. In this episode, I bring on Michaela (Kayla) Fair, the ghostwriter who helped me do exactly that. Together, we go 1 Layer Deep into what it really takes to write a book that matters. Not one that just sells, b...

This isn’t about coffee. It’s about why, 500+ mornings in, Chris and I still wake up, sit down, and meet, even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when it’s easier not to. Date Morning has become more than a routine. It’s how we get back in alignment. How we call each other out without blowing everything up. How we lead from the same layer, not just the same house. In this episode, we unpack what’s changed since the last time we t...

Chris Schwab scaled a fully remote cleaning business across multiple countries. He built the systems. Delegated everything. Stepped out of the day-to-day. And still something felt off. In this episode, we go 1 Layer Deep into what actually keeps founders stuck. Because it’s not the lack of systems. It’s the lie we keep telling ourselves that “busyness” means we matter. Chris has coached hundreds of business owners through t...

I used the 1 Layer Deep Framework on myself, and it broke everything wide open. This wasn’t a podcast we planned. It was the moment Chris and I stopped and asked: Are we actually aligned… or just busy? We were building momentum. Saying yes to everything. But deep down, we knew: We were moving forward in the wrong direction. This episode is the real-time breakdown of how we got honest about the layer we were skipping, the n...

Let me ask you something: Are you in preseason, game time, or off season? Most entrepreneurs are stuck in the wrong one, and it’s why you feel tired, off, or like you’re always behind. In this solo Firestarter episode, I’m breaking down what season you’re in... and why that answer could change everything. ► Why always being in “prep mode” is really just avoidance ► Why you can’t implement and learn at the same time ► Why cha...

You’re not underpricing. You’re underbelieving. Let me be real with you: If you’re undercharging, it’s not about the price; it’s about your belief. In this episode, I sat down with Bill Wilson, pricing genius, SaaS builder, and the guy who’s helped 400+ founders stop playing small, and we went all the way 1 Layer Deep on: 💥 The Good–Better–Best pricing model that changed the way I sell 💥 Why “affordable” is often just co...

They said “date night” was impossible. So we made date morning our ritual. 500+ mornings later… our life and business will never be the same. In this raw, hilarious, and totally unfiltered episode, Chris and I go 1 Layer Deep on how our daily morning dates became the glue that keeps our relationship thriving—and our business scaling. ☕️ Real talk on: Why traditional “quality time” doesn’t work for entrepreneurs Ho...

What’s keeping so many women stuck in burnout? Control. Overcommitting. Guilt. In this episode, I sit down with Angela Chanowsky—serial entrepreneur, coach, and founder of Unique Genius—for a raw, layered convo about how women overcomplicate business and motherhood… and how to finally let go without losing your edge. We go deep on: 🔥 Why women resist delegation (and what it costs them) 🔥 The myth of the "Superwoman" and how...

What happens when you share your transformation with pride… and get body-shamed for it? This episode hits harder than usual. Chris and I go 1 layer deeper into the story behind a post that sparked backlash — and how it ignited a fire in me to rise higher, louder, and hotter than ever. We’re talking: 🔥 Turning shame into fuel 🔥 What to do when your growth threatens others 🔥 Navigating relationships when only one partner is...

In this episode, I sit down with Caden Hutchens, CEO of O2V and host of ISSA’s Hard Refresh podcast, to talk about what it really takes to grow into leadership—especially when you didn’t start at the top. Caden’s story is one of deep ownership, vision, and long-term investment. We talk about what it means to be an intrapreneur inside someone else’s business, how to step into authority with humility, and why trusting people before ...

This episode is probably one of our most honest Date Mornings yet. Chris and I talk about burnout, deep reflection, and the uncomfortable truth that you can’t be coached if you won’t own your mistakes. From calling each other out (with permission) to rewriting personal stories we were too ashamed to share—we get real about what it actually takes to grow. We also talk about the power of public accountability, removing ego from l...

In this episode, I sit down with Naylor Taliaferro—better known as the Lawn Care Rookie—to talk about what happens when you stop trying to 2X your life… and start building a 10X one. From burnout in retail to hosting the LCR Summit and running multiple businesses, Naylor shares what it really took to create momentum. We dive into coaching, letting go of identity, and why the “fast pass” isn’t cheating—it’s choosing to go deeper, f...

This episode is straight from a recent live workshop where I walk through exactly how to fix broken recruiting systems—and stop wasting time on interviews that go nowhere. I’m sharing the real numbers: time, money, and energy most business owners lose when using outdated hiring methods. Then I walk you through the Stacked Interview strategy we’ve used at WootRecruit to change the game. And it works across home service, cleaning, a...

This special Libby Live presentation—“The CT Fingerprint”—is about changing the way we hire, forever. I’m sharing the official launch of the CT Fingerprint: a first-of-its-kind framework to identify what actually makes a great residential cleaning technician. This is based on real data, real interviews, and the real traits we’ve been missing. But this presentation goes deeper. I open up about my roots (yes, elephants and all),...

We hit 200 hours of intense work in two weeks—and totally forgot how to stop. In this episode, Chris and I talk about the sprint we just pushed through, the burnout we didn’t expect, and how we’re learning (the hard way) to build in real rest. We go deep on managing energy over time, embracing the idea of a “minimum viable product” even outside of software, and how our self-sabotaging patterns sneak in the right when we’re at our ...
