What if the biggest thing blocking your next level… is the version of you that got you here?

In this conversation, I sat down with the brilliant Taryn Voget, founder of The Genius Lab and host of The Everyday Genius Show. Over the last 15 years, she’s been the go-to guide for visionary founders, creatives, and CEOs ready to reconnect with who they really are — not just what they’ve built.

If you’re scaling fast but something feels off…

If you’ve hit your targets but feel strangely stuck…

If you’re wondering what’s next — but can’t put your finger on it…

This episode will strike a nerve.

We explore:

• 
  

  Why genius has nothing to do with IQ or hustle

  
  


• 
  

  The real reason founders burn out — and how to fix it

  
  


• 
  

  How to spot (and shift) subconscious patterns sabotaging your momentum

  
  


• 
  

  Why passion and intuition aren’t “soft skills” — they’re your power source

  
  


• 
  

  What to do if you’ve outgrown the version of success you created

  
  

Taryn even turned the tables and coached me live — and let’s just say, she didn’t miss. If you’re serious about aligning purpose with performance, this is one to revisit more than once.

Let’s be real — if you’re drowning in day-to-day crap, you’ll never scale or exit. The Founders Exit Playbook is your ticket out of the chaos. Learn how to stop being your own bottleneck and start leading like a boss. It’s free, no email required and no BS. Grab it here
