Welcome to Think Mastery with Dr. Yishai. Hosted by Doctor of Psychology, entrepreneur, and executive coach Dr. Yishai Barkhordari. On this podcast, you'll hear real talk about life and business. Plus, how to use psychology to create more mastery and success in both.
In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Schlafly, serial entrepreneur, Founder & CEO of Mighty Cricket, and COO of JTolan Law. Sarah is a business builder, team empowerer, and master of cross-company execution. She’s helped launch and scale ventures across industries — from food innovation to law to HVAC — all while creating cultures of ownership, autonomy, and recovery-fueled performance.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- The Formula Behind Daily Energy and Excitement: How Sarah fuels consistent output across multiple companies without sacrificing passion, focus, or well-being.
- Context Switching as a Superpower: How Sarah uses multiple roles across companies to stay focused, sharp, and energized — defying traditional advice.
- From Burnout to Boundaries: Sarah’s journey through burnout and the radical practices that now fuel her daily energy and excitement.
- Building Business with a Chef’s Brain: How her background in culinary arts shaped her timing, flow, and coordination across multiple ventures.
- How to Empower Teams Through Fit, Not Force: Why Sarah sees each team member as a puzzle piece to place, not a cog to control — and how she leverages their passions across companies.
Why This Episode is Worth Your Time:
This conversation is a masterclass in multidimensional leadership. Sarah doesn’t just build businesses — she builds teams, systems, and rhythms that work with people, not against them. Her insights on energy, recovery, people strategy, and identity are powerful for any founder, executive, or leader navigating growth, complexity, or change.
