In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel sat down with Gary Lane, a business owner and therapist who turned personal struggles into a mission to help others. But his journey wasn’t straightforward. From growing up in an environment where he felt he had to constantly adapt to fit in to building a business in Spain and burning out, Gary’s story is a raw and powerful lesson in resilience, self-awareness, and redefining success.

After years of chasing external validation, Gary hit rock bottom, leaving everything behind to start over in the UK. What followed was a complete transformation that led him to understand the deep connection between emotional regulation, business performance, and mental health. Now, he works with high-achieving business owners, helping them break free from burnout, master their mindset, and create success on their own terms.

We dive into:

• The hidden cost of constantly proving yourself – why so many entrepreneurs burn out chasing the wrong goals.

• Why your nervous system controls more of your business decisions than you think – and how to use it to your advantage.

• The real reason business owners struggle with work-life balance – and how to fix it without sacrificing growth.

• How creating boundaries in business leads to more freedom, not less.

• The power of fun, curiosity, and self-discovery – and why it’s the key to long-term success.

Packed with personal insights, practical strategies, and eye-opening lessons, this episode is essential listening for business owners ready to stop surviving and start thriving.
