But past $5M, human mechanics become the choke point.
That’s when the cost explodes.
You could be leaking millions a year without even seeing it.
This episode shows you how to tell if it’s time for a business coach…
or a performance coach.

Your numbers look good.
Your team looks busy.
You think you’re winning.
But every week of drift is burning dollars and growth you can never get back.
That’s how $10M+ companies die in slow motion.
Not from the market.
Not from their people.
But from three sins that kill momentum while everyone’s still clapping.
It’s what gutted WeWork. InVision. Theranos.
And it’s what will gut you — unless you see it firs...

You thought smart decisions came from logic and discipline.
But the smartest leaders? They reframe decisions before they make them.
Most leaders waste time treating every choice the same.
They miss the hidden cost of decision drag.
This episode flips the whole game.
You’ll see why elite leaders don’t just decide faster.
They decide cleaner.
Once you get this shift, you stop second-guessing...
Episode Summary:
You’re not the CEO. You’re still the star player.
That move is quietly costing you millions in lost valuation, team velocity, and time.
In this episode, Dr. Yishai breaks the myth that hustle scales. It doesn’t. It stalls you.
You’ll see how staying in the game silently caps your revenue, valuation, and optionality.
He breaks down the math behind the ceiling you built yourself. And shows how Bezos scaled by step...
You thought success would kill your doubt. It didn’t. It scaled it.
Every hour you hesitate costs thousands — sometimes millions — in burned payroll, lost deals, and silent trust leaks.
If you’ve ever stared at a big decision and felt frozen, this episode is for you. I’ve been there. My clients have been there.
In it, you’ll hear why doubt doesn’t disappear when you “make it”… and how to stop it from bleeding your business dry.
There a...
Still feel effort?
You’re dragging 100lbs uphill while top founders sprint past you barefoot and smiling.
Effort feels real. But it’s a trap that can cost you $432K+ a year. And your edge.
This episode hands you the cheat code top founders use to make hard feel light.

Episode Summary:
Most high performers treat doubt like a red flag.
They either believe it and stall… or fight it and bleed energy.
But the ones who scale?
They use doubt as leverage.
Inside, you'll learn how top founders and execs turn hesitation into decision speed.
And why fighting your doubt may be the hidden cost draining your time, clarity, and growth.
This isn’t your typical mindset fluff.
It’s how the best...
Most founders think stress is a problem to solve.
They try to suppress it, manage it, or push through it. But actually, stress isn’t the threat. It’s a signal. A diagnostic.
And when you treat it like something to get rid of, you miss the important message it’s trying to send.
The result? Slower decisions, tension with your team, and momentum leaks you can’t afford.
But if you know how to carry it — stress becomes your engine, not ...
Most founders push harder when pressure hits. But the real drag on performance isn’t strategy — it’s what you’re doing with your emotions. In this episode, Dr. Yishai breaks down the three hidden patterns that slow high-performers down, and shares what some top execs do differently to unlock speed, clarity, and execution — without burning out.
