Summary
In this episode, I'm sharing a moment from a recent VIP call with a multiple seven-figure CEO where the room was full of smart people and big ideas, and you could feel the overthinking setting in. So I paused everything and asked her one question that brought instant clarity and simplified a two-hour conversation into a single aligned decision. I'm breaking down why the answer to scaling is almost never more, why copying someone else's success backfires when it isn't aligned with you, and the simple practice I keep coming back to for tuning out the noise and trusting what you already know.
