Description

What’s the point in success if you can't enjoy it?

Contrary to popular belief, business growth doesn’t have to come at the sacrifice of personal growth.

This show enables conscious entrepreneurs to become the masters of their minds so they can create massive impact with ease, enjoy the journey, and avoid burnout.

You’ll discover:

  • How to overcome mental blocks and create a mindset that allows you to achieve everything you want in life and business
  • Practical ways to go from feeling stressed and overwhelmed to clear, focused, and at ease, so you can actually enjoy the journey of entrepreneurship
  • How to turn challenges into massive opportunities for growth and success in your business

Before Alexi launched this podcast, he was a founder running multiple businesses. Whilst everything looked great on the outside, he was struggling on the inside. 

Failures felt deeply personal, no success felt good enough, and he was burning the candle at both ends but he just couldn’t see another way. 

Then Alexi met his coach, ventured into podcasting, started learning about the power of the mind, doing more of what he loved, and ultimately having a greater impact in the process. 

Now, Alexi spends his time hosting founder retreats and coaching founders through their business and personal growth journeys, helping them overcome mental blocks to achieve the impact they’ve always wanted.

We release new episodes weekly, consisting of brief conversations with conscious entrepreneurs and founder experts where we delve into growth mindsets, high performance, and leadership. We also have a ‘crazy founder stories’ segment (10 minutes) where entrepreneurs share their most shocking experiences so that fellow founders don't feel alone in their struggles. Together, we’ll laugh at the inevitable quirks and mishaps of our entrepreneurial journeys, reminding ourselves that even the craziest moments have valuable lessons to teach.

If you’re new here, we recommend starting with:
