From homelessness to building a nine-figure empire, Stephen Scoggins reveals the raw truth: Your business (and life) won’t scale until you dismantle the two subconscious programs sabotaging you. In this power-packed episode, he shares how arrogance and ancestral scarcity nearly destroyed him—and the exact "inner work" framework that rewired his brain for aligned success. Discover why 85% of entrepreneurs stall at $640K (and how to break through), the 5 constraints choking your growth, and the daily mantra that keeps Stephen grounded in service over ego. Key Takeaways: 1. The Two Deadly Programs: How Stephen’s "rescuer complex" and family belief that "Scoggins don’t get ahead" kept him stuck—and how to identify your own hidden scripts. 2. Homelessness to Hundred Millions: Why his rock-bottom moment wasn’t about money—but a total loss of identity (and the year-long soul search that changed everything). 3. The $640K Ceiling: The real reason entrepreneurs plateau (hint: it’s not funding or marketing—it’s ignorance, arrogance, impatience, fear, and insecurity). 4. Shadow Work = Profit Work: Stephen’s "movie editor" exercise to reframe trauma into fuel (plus why burning your past literally creates space for abundance). 5. Alignment Before Flow: His free 5-minute quiz to diagnose your misalignment—and why "serving as your true self" magnetizes opportunities.
