🔥 What if getting better isn’t about working harder… but working on the right things?

In this episode of the Finding Better Podcast, John Suzuki sits down with Aaron Trahan — a leadership and performance coach who helps high performers rethink how they approach growth, success, and improvement across both work and life.

Because here’s the truth: Most people don’t fail because they lack effort… they fail because they’re focused on the wrong things.

Drawing from over 20 years of leadership experience — including running a billion-dollar business — Aaron shares the real lessons he learned the hard way: Success without awareness can still lead to failure.

This conversation goes beyond business. It dives into what it actually means to get better as a leader, a partner, a parent, and as a human being — and why most people stay stuck despite wanting more.

Inside this conversation, you’ll learn: Why “getting better” is not a solo journey -The hidden reason most people fail their goals (even with motivation) -How your calendar reveals your real priorities -Why focus — not talent — is the ultimate performance superpower -The role of subtraction (not addition) in personal growth -How blind spots hold you back more than lack of skill -The “5 Whys” method to uncover the real reason behind your goals

💡 Key Takeaways: -You can’t improve what you don’t see — awareness is everything. -Your priorities aren’t what you say — they’re what you schedule. -Focus requires saying no — and that’s non-negotiable. -A strong “why” will always lead you to the “how.” -Growth isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what matters.
