Listen "He Was Winning in Business… and Losing in Life Dan Bagniuk Tells the Truth Most Founders Hide"
Episode Synopsis
I brought Dan Bagniuk on the show because this dude gets it. Built a legit business. Made more in five days than most do in five months. And still sat there thinking, "Yo… why do I feel like sh*t?" We talked about the stuff no one's posting on the highlight reel. The burnout that comes after your best month. The pressure to keep growing when you're already running on fumes. The lies we believed early on, like how freedom means a laptop on the beach (it doesn't) or how you're supposed to grind 24/7 until something clicks (also BS). Dan breaks down why most entrepreneurs are obsessed with the 3% ready to buy right now and completely ignoring the 97% that are actually sitting on gold. We get into what actually works if you want a business that runs without ruining your life. We also talk faith. Purpose. Listening to God. Blocking out noise. And why sometimes the best thing you can do isn't hiring another coach, it's shutting up, taking a walk, and letting the answer come. If you've been questioning everything, this convo is gonna feel like oxygen. Don't miss this one. Drop your 6-word takeaway in the comments. Let me know what hit you the hardest.
