When business coaching meets raw truth, transformation happens. In this powerful episode of Total Disruption, Dr. Jake Clendenning and Michael LaBurse dive deep into overcoming the defensive mindset that keeps entrepreneurs trapped in survival mode.

Michael opens with a vulnerable story about growing up in 1980s Baltimore, where walking down the middle of the street wasn't paranoia—it was business coaching for life. This gripping tale becomes the foundation for understanding how past trauma shapes current business transformation challenges.

Dr. Jake breaks down the neuroscience behind entrepreneur mindset shifts, introducing the VAKOG learning modalities (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory) that drive real leadership development. Discover why your business coaching efforts might be failing and how simple olfactory triggers can create instant pattern resets.
