About this listen

Welcome back to The Forge House, where a better business begins with a better you. In this episode, I get brutally honest about the business boundaries I had to build—not to grow faster, but to stop the slow-motion collapse of my life. This isn’t a list of hacks or a new productivity system. It’s the story of what I had to stop doing to finally show up as a clear, confident leader.

From letting go of endless meetings and late-night emails to raising our minimum service and firing energy-draining customers, this episode dives into the mindset shift that turned everything around. I talk about the pressure, the drowning, and the pivotal moment when I realized more hustle wasn't the answer—clarity was.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, like your business is running you instead of the other way around, this one’s for you.
