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.

    Sean shares the defining experiences that shaped his understanding of leadership, service, and unity—from growing up in apartheid-era South Africa, to serving in the military, to navigating one of the most pivotal and polarizing transformational decisions in YPO history. He reveals the mindset, discipline, and grassroots leadership required to unite people, align cultures, and rebuild trust in high-stakes environments.

    • The traits that define highly successful entrepreneurs: grit, determination, ownership, and service

    • Why service, mentorship, and lifting others up is the cornerstone of lasting leadership

    Sean’s story is rich with wisdom, humility, and hard-earned perspective. Whether you're scaling a business, leading a team, or building a community, this episode will challenge you to lead with purpose, deepen your humanity, and elevate the people around you.

  • Stephen Koch on Calculated Risk, Resilience, and Leading When the Cost of Failure Is Everything
    Nov 18 2025

    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.

    Sep 9 2025

    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.

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.
