In this episode of the Built By Love Podcast, Daniel Bussius sits down with Sean Magennis, one of the most influential community builders and operators of the modern era. Sean has served as the global president and COO of YPO, scaled boutique professional services firms through Capital Collective 54, helped CEOs execute at CEO Coaching International, and now serves as Executive Vice President of Member Engagement at Scouting America.

In this gripping episode of the Built By Love Podcast, Daniel Bussius sits down with Stephen Koch, the pioneering snowboard mountaineer known for being the first person in history to ride all Seven Summits and for completing bold first ascents from the Tetons to Antarctica.

Stephen takes listeners deep into the mindset required to operate in extreme environments where a single mistake can cost everything. He breaks down a harrowing moment on Mont Blanc where a hidden patch of ice forced him into an emergency self-arrest, hanging from an ice axe at a 55-degree slope while alone, securing himself with an ice screw, and transitioning from snowboard to crampons mid-descent. His experience reveals not just the physical demands of high-consequence mountaineering, but the mental resilience and discipline that kept him alive.

This episode dives into:

How fear can be transformed into clarity and peak performance

Why climbing up matters as much as the descent

The role of preparation and equipment discipline in life-or-death situations

How solo mountaineering builds radical self-reliance

What mountain decision-making teaches entrepreneurs about leadership

The practice of “starting close in” when making high-stakes choices.

Stephen’s journey provides a powerful parallel between extreme mountain leadership and the realities entrepreneurs face when navigating risk, pressure, and consequence. This conversation is a masterclass in resilience, intuition, and learning to trust yourself when everything is on the line.

In this raw and riveting episode of the Built By Love Podcast, hosts Daniel Bussius and Peter Daly-Dickson sit down with Susan Sly—tech founder, best-selling author, speaker, and Ironman athlete—for a deeply vulnerable conversation about reinvention, resilience, and radical transformation.

Diagnosed with progressive MS at age 27, Susan lost everything—her health, her marriage, her business, and her home—within 16 weeks. But that breakdown became her breakthrough. Susan reveals how she turned tragedy into triumph, healing her body, rebuilding her life, and eventually launching multiple companies—most recently, an AI startup focused on supporting women through hormonal changes.

She unpacks her journey of self-discovery, overcoming limiting beliefs (aka "rackets"), navigating faith and family, and staying balanced while building multimillion-dollar businesses. This episode explores the intersection of entrepreneurship, wellness, AI, and conscious leadership—and why the next chapter of technology must be infused with purpose, compassion, and love.
