On this episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with bestselling author and founder David Goldstein to unpack why 91% of businesses fail—and what the successful 9% do differently. David shares tactical, no-fluff strategies from his book The 9% Club, including his STEER framework and the importance of execution, revenue quality, and strategic focus. This is a grounded, real-talk episode for founders who are overwhelmed, burning out, or unsure if their hustle is actually building something meaningful.

About the Guest: David Goldstein is a serial entrepreneur, leadership mentor, and the bestselling author of The 9% Club. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, David is known for helping founders build scalable, revenue-generating businesses while avoiding common pitfalls. His mission includes supporting homeless veterans through proceeds from his book and building a values-driven community for founders via the 9Percenter platform.

Key Takeaways:

• 91% of businesses fail—not just due to poor ideas, but because of poor execution.

• The STEER framework (Strategy, Tactics, Execution, Evaluation, Reporting) helps teams focus, measure, and course-correct.

• Progress is about results, not busywork—track what moves the needle.

• Sustainable success requires feedback loops, strategy-driven actions, and accountability.

In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana explores the powerful intersection of strategy, intuition, and the quantum field with Taryn Voget, founder of The Genius Lab. Together, they unpack how top leaders and entrepreneurs tap into subconscious brilliance, make faster decisions, and innovate by trusting what’s already within. From decoding mental habits to creating space for inspiration, Taryn shares actionable insights on accessing genius not by doing more, but by tuning into joy, silence, and aligned strategy. If you're navigating overload, second-guessing data, or chasing someone else’s blueprint—this conversation is your reset.

About the Guest: Taryn Voget is a strategist, soul whisperer, and founder of The Genius Lab. Blending neuroscience, executive coaching, and quantum concepts, she helps high-growth founders and leaders unlock clarity and genius. Taryn’s work focuses on helping individuals access intuitive insights, uncover their unique gifts, and scale aligned businesses without burnout.

Key Takeaways:

• Intuition isn't mystical—it's a blend of subconscious pattern recognition and quantum receptivity.

• True genius often emerges when the mind goes quiet—during walks, showers, or creative breaks.

• High performers use intuition strategically, backed by mental checklists built from experience.

• Over-relying on data can block innovation. The best leaders know when to trust their gut.

• Joy is a compass. Doing what excites you generates energy, creativity, and sustainable success.

• Be wary of adopting someone else’s success blueprint. If it doesn’t bring you joy, it won’t work.

• Beliefs act like mental code. With inquiry and presence, they can be rewritten for greater clarity and intuition.
