In this episode of Deeper Than Dough, Bennett Maxwell sits down with Alex Raymond, founder of the Conscious Entrepreneur Summit and host of the Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast. Alex opens up about the hidden struggles many entrepreneurs face — from burnout and imposter syndrome to the pressure to constantly "earn" success through suffering.
Together, Bennett and Alex unpack the four "inner demons" that often sabotage founders from the inside out: burnout, imposter syndrome, upper limiting beliefs, and the struggle mindset. Alex shares why so many high achievers feel like they’re stuck in a loop of comparison and quiet stress, and how breaking free starts with shifting the way we think, not working harder.
They also dive into the power of intuition, mindfulness, and learning to build a business that supports your well-being — not one that drains it.
If you've ever felt like you're running fast but not getting anywhere, this episode is a wake-up call worth listening to.
