In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom, I sit down with Wes Towers, founder of Uplift 360, a digital agency helping builders and trades create smarter websites and measurable growth through practical SEO and clear strategy.

Wes shares how real progress in business often starts with a different question: What would this look like if it were easy? From cold plunges and breathwork to mindset shifts around selling and leadership, he explains how simplifying complex problems can unlock momentum, clarity, and better decisions.

We talk about why desperation repels opportunity, how an abundance mindset changes the way you show up with clients, and why leaders don’t need to control everything they need to create space for their teams to think, contribute, and grow.

We also explore:

• Why simplicity beats complexity in business

• How scarcity thinking quietly sabotages results

• The danger of confusing “hard” with “important”

• Why great leaders make room for ideas, not just decisions

• How personal branding and authenticity build trust

• What imposter syndrome really looks like after success

Wes also opens up about his struggles with self-doubt, burnout, and growth, reminding us that leadership isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about staying curious, staying human, and continuing to evolve.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that progress doesn’t come from grinding harder It comes from simplifying, trusting your people, and choosing growth over fear.
