In this episode of "Grow or Die", I sit down with my CEO coach, Nickie Froiland, to discuss the real meaning of success and how redefining it can lead to a more fulfilling life. We explore the contrast between material success and true bliss, unpacking how we often chase societal definitions of achievement without stopping to define our own values. Nickie challenges me to connect deeply with my authentic self, and we dive into concepts like embracing discomfort, balancing entrepreneurship with personal well-being, and the importance of consistent authenticity.

This episode is full of insights on letting go of guilt, understanding your body’s signals, and shifting from a stress-driven lifestyle to one of purpose and peace. If you’re a business owner or anyone trying to balance success and personal fulfillment, this episode will give you actionable steps to grow and thrive.
