The Hidden Cost of Success - How Ego Blocks Peace and What Entrepreneurs Must Surrender to Find It with Armin Shafee
Description
What if everything you’ve been taught about success is only half the story?
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, we sit down with Armin Shafee—a former millionaire entrepreneur, award-winning international speaker, and VP of Think and Grow Rich. Armin built a multi-million-dollar coaching empire, only to discover that external achievements couldn't fill the internal void. He walked away from it all to embark on a transformative journey toward inner peace, now guiding others through his "Surrender Experiment" and spiritual teachings.
We explore how entrepreneurs often become unknowingly enslaved by their own ambitions, mistaking external milestones for inner happiness. You’ll learn how ego subtly controls your decisions, the surprising truth about “healthy ego,” and why surrendering doesn’t mean giving up—but finally tuning in.
If you're an entrepreneur chasing success but sensing something is missing, this episode might just shift everything.
