The Entrepreneur's Hidden Battle
This one's a compilation. You'll hear three entrepreneurs (Kelly Knight, Chris Johnson, and Dennis McIntee) get honest about the battle nobody sees: trust, old wounds, gratitude, and the quiet question of whether you're enough. Each prompt below pulls from what one of them actually said.
▶ Watch the full episode with Kelly Knight, Chris Johnson, Dennis McIntee for deeper context on how to approach these questionsTrust First, Or Make Them Earn It
Kelly Knight says there are two kinds of people: ones who trust first until proven wrong, and ones who make trust get earned at every step. Which one are you, honestly? And where has that been costing you, either by getting burned or by living with friction?
The Wound Behind The Wanting
Dennis McIntee says when you carry a wound, everything becomes about that wound, and a lot of ambition is just trying to fill a void success can't fill. Look at your own chase. The new deal, the new car, the next level: what's the hole you might really be trying to fill?
Suffering Twice
Chris Johnson noticed people suffer twice: once in the dread of what might go wrong, then again if it actually does. Where are you living in the dread of something that hasn't even happened yet?
That's Not Going To Be Me
At 12, Kelly Knight was told she'd be in a wheelchair by 30, and something in her said, 'No, that's not going to be me.' Think of a verdict someone's handed you about your future, business, body, or who you are. What's the version you refuse to let be true?
