The Business of Wellness

Entrepreneurs celebrate their wins, but the real education happens when you’re staring at a payroll you can’t cover with $2,500 left from a $1.5 million raise. Shawn Finnegan lost everything in 12 months, then rebuilt it all within a year by swallowing his pride and reaching out to partner with the right people with the right sales skillset. This conversation reveals the specific mindset shifts that transformed catastrophic failure into a decade of success and a current partnership with Kevin O’Leary.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Connect with Shawn Finnegan Instagram: https://bit.ly/4sE6A0E TikTok: https://bit.ly/49HwuIp Facebook: https://bit.ly/3YGaMzd X.com: https://bit.ly/4qRQEWK LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3YBO9vU Timestamps 00:00 Intro of Show 01:30 Shawn Finnegan’s Back Story 05:28 Entrepreneurial Journey 13:06 Overcoming Struggles in the Business 18:51 Partnering with Highly-Skilled People 20:27 Shawn’s Family Life 28:54 Parenting Styles 32:57 Importance of Ego, Humility, and Persistence 35:54 Navigating Personal Relationships  44:36 Fatherhood and Legacy-Building 51:39 Connect with Shawn Watch the “Business of Wellness Podcast” every Thursday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2

You can build the penthouse, achieve the external markers of success, and still feel completely hollow inside. Ebrahim Turner discovered this at 23, standing on his London balcony surrounded by everything he thought he wanted, asking himself if his existence would even matter if he disappeared tomorrow. That emptiness became the catalyst for a decade-long journey from investment banking to the power of hypnosis and subconscious reprogramming. Watch how I undergo a live hypnosis session with Ebrahim that bridges the gap between intellectual confidence and emotional certainty.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Connect with Ebrahim Turner Website: https://bit.ly/3LpMciX YouTube: https://bit.ly/3LufD3o Instagram: https://bit.ly/3Yt3Fdy TikTok: https://bit.ly/4qc1jMk Facebook: https://bit.ly/3NghNnS X.com: https://bit.ly/4qm90iM LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4svNhGE Timestamps 00:00 Intro of Show 00:44 Ebrahim Turner’s Back Story 12:01 How Can Identity Work For and Against You? 17:22 Beliefs Shaping Your Identity 19:48 Chosen vs. Unchosen Suffering 23:12 Defining and Measuring Success 26:55 Is Gratitude Me-Centric? 30:48 Fear vs. Hope: Which is a Better Driver? 33:24 Perspective on Life and Legacy 35:31 Live Hypnosis Session 57:23 Realisation After the Procedure 1:00:14 Common Struggles of Entrepreneurs 1:06:05 Romantic Relationships as Blind Spots of Successful People 1:12:22 Is Being Loved Unconditionally Possible? 1:17:03 Connect with Ebrahim Watch the “Business of Wellness Podcast” every Thursday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2

Join me as I sit down with Cole Kosco to uncover the gritty reality of pivoting from influencer to tech founder, revealing how he scaled Menu Fit to over 200,000 downloads despite facing 25 App Store rejections.

True physical resilience is built in the stabilizer muscles, the "unsung heroes" that protect the body during high-impact activities like skiing and mountain climbing. Janeen McCormick explains the unique "time under tension" philosophy of Btone Fitness, a workout designed to push beyond the "glass ceiling" of traditional Pilates. She highlights why functional movement is the ultimate cross-training tool for athletes and beginners alike.

Only 8% of the population gets the minimum effective dose of exercise, and the fitness industry’s response has been to make workouts more fun rather than more effective. Rob Darnbrough argues this approach is broken; we’ve embraced technology in every aspect of life except how we train our bodies, still using dumbbells and barbells that would look perfectly familiar to someone from the 1960s. With this, he and his son Connor built the Smart Fit Method technology with a radical premise that exercise should be treated like medicine, with testing, personalized dosing, and measurable outcomes. Why are we still measuring fitness by hours spent instead of biological age reversed?

A near-fatal car accident at 38 forced Jenn Drummond to confront an uncomfortable question: How many dreams had she pushed to “someday” that might never come? What emerged was a complete reorientation around choosing how to live rather than defaulting to external expectations, ultimately leading her to become the first woman to summit the second highest peak on every continent. Her journey reveals that significant achievements aren’t about removing fear, they’re about finding challenges scary enough to reveal our truest selves.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Get Jenn Drummond’s book, “BreakProof: 7 Strategies to Build Resilience and Achieve Your Life Goals“ here: https://bit.ly/48xpL4r   Listen to "Seek Your Summit with Jenn" on all your favorite platforms!

What would it mean for your life if you could compress an hour-and-a-half workout into 12 minutes while actually improving your results?

Every entrepreneur hits a ceiling, but many people never realise the ceiling isn’t in their business strategy, it’s in their nervous system capacity and unprocessed childhood experiences. Lachlan Mitchell shares why traditional therapy often perpetuates problems by retelling stories rather than resolving root causes, and how modalities like breath work, shadow work, and somatic processing create the internal space required for the next level of external success.

Serial entrepreneur David Guttman reveals why giving employees modest equity stakes often increases company value by far more than the percentage you give away, and how this strategy transforms your team’s approach to customer service, efficiency, and business growth. Learn how to structure equity deals that protect you while motivating your team, why vested interests eliminate employee anxiety during the sale process, and how quarterly board meetings with transparent financial reporting can make your business significantly more attractive to potential buyers.  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro of Show 07:40 Outline of the Webinar 09:37 How Are Businesses Valued? 15:42 Exit Considerations 23:05 Finding a Buyer 29:50 Negotiation and Due Diligence 45:04 Tax Implications 48:21 Legacy, Lessons, and What’s Next? 52:25 Q&A Session Watch the “Business of Wellness Podcast” every Thursday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2
