The Question That Ends Excuses | Dan Sachkowsky","description":"He had the mansion, the exotic cars, and every marker of "made it" by age 24 \u2014 and none of it was real. It took a heart attack to show him why. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Dan Sachkowsky \u2014 performance coach, founder of Big D Coaching, and author of the upcoming book Following Your Way Uphill \u2014 for a conversation about what happens when strength becomes the very thing that's holding you back. Dan built his first business at 17 with no idea what he was doing, chased every marker of success he could get his hands on, and lost it all more than once before he understood why. He and Stephen unpack the moment a heart attack forced him to confront that his focus had been off for years, the "systems first, people second" mindset that finally got him out of his own way, and why so many entrepreneurs think they're serving their families when they're really just serving their own ego. This one lives right at the center of the Lion and Lamb methodology, the drive and discipline to build something real, paired with the humility to release control before it costs you everything. In this episode:  Why founders who try to do everything themselves are the actual bottleneck in their business The delegation trap Dan calls "holding their shirt," and how it keeps teams from growing Why "I'm doing this for my family" is often a story entrepreneurs tell themselves How a heart attack forced Dan to rebuild his company \u2014 and himself \u2014 on purpose The difference between a leader who intimidates and one who protects Why "selfish" isn't a dirty word, and how taking care of yourself is what lets you actually serve others Where Dan's Lion still runs hot, and where the Lamb has saved him more than once Connect with Dan Sachkowsky Coaching: bigdcoaching.com If this episode challenged you, do us a favor and follow the show, leave a rating and review, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.
