In this episode of The Happy Achiever Podcast, I sit down with Bryan Wells, a successful entrepreneur who has spent the last 15 years building businesses, taking risks, and, most importantly, transforming himself from the inside out. Bryan opens up about something so many high achievers quietly battle: the voice that whispers “You’re not good enough.”

Bryan shares openly about:

• Growing up in a family of hardworking entrepreneurs who built their dreams from nothing
• How he inherited an incredible work ethic, and how that “grind” sometimes worked against him
• Betting on himself and launching a recruiting firm out of his basement with a new baby, a new house, and no guarantees
• Building success while quietly wrestling with fear, imposter syndrome, and the belief that he always had to do more

As Bryan grew his business, he found himself at times sacrificing his mental and physical health for the sake of achievement. In his 40s, everything shifted. He began doing the deeper inner work he never learned as a kid. He finally faced the trauma that shaped his drive, and for the first time, he understood why he operated the way he did.

Today, Bryan shares:

• How he learned to talk back to fear instead of letting it run the show
• Why “the negative voice” doesn’t disappear - and what to do when it shows up
• The tools he uses to stay grounded
• Why true balance doesn’t exist, and what to strive for instead
• How he teaches his daughters to name their emotions so they won’t carry the same burdens he did

This conversation is honest, real, and relatable to anyone who has ever pushed themselves to succeed while ignoring their own emotional needs. Bryan’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to change your relationship with success, to heal old wounds, and to build a life that feels meaningful, not just impressive.

If you’re a high achiever who wants financial success and peace, clarity, and strong relationships, this episode will speak to your soul.

Hit follow and share this with someone who needs to hear that change is not only possible, it’s absolutely within reach.
