From that rock-bottom point, he rebuilt through daily discipline and identity-level change, anchored by the principles in The Slight Edge.This conversation is about the stuff underneath business: leadership, nervous system regulation, imposter syndrome, and why your “inner world” determines your results, relationships, and ability to scale.In this episode, we cover:Why you “can’t fight a war on two fronts” (home and work)How sobriety, reading, meditation, coaching, and routines became the turning pointThe leadership shift of fixing yourself first instead of trying to fix everyone elseThe difference between chasing success and building capacity for successMike’s take on imposter syndrome as nervous system dysregulation and old identityWhat it means to lead teams at a world-class level while keeping the wheels on at homeMike also shares about his work through Inner Wealth Mastermind, and his books The Imposter in Charge and Inner World Outer World.✅ Like, subscribe, share, rate, and follow the show on your favorite podcast platform.👥 Follow the hostsMatt Codd Instagram: @creativecodds TikTok: @creativecodds Facebook: @matt.codd.3 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-codd-9a3761375/Austin Spitzenberger Instagram: @austin_spitzz TikTok: @austin_spitzz Facebook: @austin.spitzenberger LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-spitzenberger-70481111b/
