Episode Synopsis

In this deeply honest and emotionally powerful conversation, Luke sits down with business coach and TEDx speaker Andrew Miller to unpack why so many entrepreneurs feel anxious, burnt out, and unfulfilled, even when they’re “successful.”Starting with Andrew’s TEDx talk More Than Just Money, the discussion explores how society measures success almost exclusively through money, and how that mindset quietly damages mental health, identity, and self-worth.The episode takes an unexpected and vulnerable turn as Luke openly shares his own childhood experiences, anxiety, and the internal drivers behind his obsession with success. What follows is a raw, live inner-work exercise that demonstrates how unresolved childhood patterns continue to shape adult ambition, stress, and burnout.This is not a conversation about hustling harder. It’s about healing the internal drivers behind success, redefining what a good life actually looks like, and finding meaning beyond money.Key Takeaways: Why money is a poor measure of personal success, even in businessHow childhood experiences silently drive ambition, burnout, and comparisonThe three hidden fears behind high performance: not enough, not worthy, not acceptedWhy success never creates happiness if the internal work hasn’t been doneHow entrepreneurs can reconnect their business to meaning and purposeWhy healing your younger self can change how you show up as a leader and parentHow to build a version of success that doesn’t cost your mental healthGuest Bio: Andrew Miller is a business coach, multiple author, and TEDx speaker who helps business owners understand the deeper emotional drivers behind success and burnout. With firsthand experience running businesses, Andrew works with people to challenge the belief that success must come at the expense of wellbeing, guiding them to build businesses that actually align with who they are. His philosophy is simple but powerful: success is not just about the numbers, it is about enjoying the journey and creating a business that feels genuinely fulfilling, one that, in his words, makes your bits tingle.Learn more about Andrew Miller:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andrew.miller.359 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpXIUc8iRjfJ_z4UlIEfpQA Watch his Ted Talk and grab his book here: https://www.businessenjoyment.org/tedx-mtjmABOUT CURIOUS AF PODCASTCurious AF is a podcast for people who want more out of life than just ticking boxes.
