Description

We often talk about growth like it’s a finish line, something to achieve or complete. But real growth never ends. You don’t arrive. You evolve.

In this episode, Sope Agbelusi explores why the very version of you that brought success may be the same one holding you back. Through stories from marriage, neuroscience, and leadership, he reveals how to unlearn what no longer serves you and make space for who you’re becoming.

From the transformation of Howard Schultz at Starbucks to the metaphor of the cocoon, this conversation challenges you to rethink success, identity, and the meaning of evolution.

Because what got you here won’t get you there, and that’s not a warning. It’s an invitation.

You’ll learn:

  • Why growth is a lifelong process, not a destination

  • How to evolve without abandoning your past success

  • The neuroscience behind resistance to change

  • Why unlearning is essential for authentic leadership

Perfect for:
Leaders, founders, and ambitious professionals who are ready to evolve, not just achieve.

Quote from the episode:
“Metamorphosis looks like dying before it looks like flying. Most people quit in the cocoon.”
