In this episode, I joined Michael Burgess on his podcast to have an honest conversation about purpose, self-leadership, and what it really means to live in alignment.

We explored the difference between chasing success that’s true to you versus falling into the trap of fulfilling someone else’s expectations.

I shared parts of my own journey, the lessons I’ve learned through coaching business owners, and how to begin reconnecting with what actually matters to you.

If you’re feeling off-track or driven but unfulfilled, this one’s worth a listen.

George Flynn of Garrison Financial Planning shares insights on navigating market volatility and developing a sound investment strategy that withstands economic uncertainty. His approach emphasizes data-driven decision making and understanding the psychology behind successful long-term investing.
• The best time to start investing is always "yesterday" – time in the market beats timing the market
• Market data shows impressive odds of success: 70% chance of positive returns after 6 months, 83% after 5 years, 93% after 10 years, and 100% after 20 years
• Understanding the difference between trading (speculation) and investing (long-term wealth building)
• Investment vehicles explained: stocks (concentrated), ETFs (more diversified), index funds (highly diversified), and bonds (stable income)
• Media sensationalism can trigger emotional decisions – "The Weather Channel loves a hurricane"
• Investment is like a bar of soap – the more you touch it, the smaller it gets
• The average investor significantly underperforms market averages due to behavioral mistakes
• For business owners: focus on protecting capital from inflation and efficient wealth transfer
• George's practice focuses on providing clarity and structure for business owners and their families
Turn off the financial news, stick to your long-term plan, and if you're not working with a financial advisor, consider finding one who can help structure your investments appropriately for your goals.

Philip Brady, executive coach and new father, shares how his three-month-old son is teaching him more about himself and the world than he ever imagined possible. We explore the fascinating journey from early exposure to personal development books to coaching high-performing leaders who genuinely care about making a positive impact.

• Philip received his first Tony Robbins book at age 11 and has been studying personal development ever since
• Grew up in Dublin before moving to County Meath at age 13, navigating the challenges of finding new community
• Works with "unicorn" clients – exceptional performers who want to make the world better for others
• Great leaders demonstrate growth mindset, curiosity, reflection, and taking responsibility
• When feeling negative, use the "what, so what, now what" journaling technique to gain clarity
• The mind-body connection is crucial – when your mind is negative, change your physical state
• Negative emotions aren't problems to eliminate but valuable messengers with half-lives of 30-40 seconds
• Acceptance is the foundation for change – "the sooner we accept that life is the yin yang, the sooner negative feelings disappear"
• Fatherhood is "beautiful chaos" that reinforces the power of accepting reality as it is
• Philip's future plans include more speaking, music, nature connection, and tree planting with clients

Clearing shame and guilt is essential for business growth because unresolved emotional baggage prevents you from receiving what you're truly worth. When you don't value yourself, you create patterns of giving too much while expecting others to value you, leading to resentment and stalled progress.

• All good business relationships are built on sustainable fair exchange - a balance of giving and taking
• Shame and guilt create an assumption that we've caused more negatives than positives in situations
• Addressing the internal game is as important as having the right business strategy
• Constant self-criticism makes it impossible to receive what you're worth
• Recognizing both sides of past events helps clear emotional baggage
• Self-sabotage patterns often stem from feeling undeserving of success
• Relationships (business or personal) require both parties to value themselves

What happens when we look back at our younger selves with the wisdom gained through decades of experience? That's the question I explore after a thought-provoking conversation on the Younger Hunger podcast, where host Michael Burgess asked about my vision in my twenties.

The truth surprised even me as I articulated it: there was no grand plan. At 17, living on my own and selling counterfeit goods to survive, my vision extended only to making enough money for the next month. Without today's resources like YouTube or social media, without mentors or coaches, I was simply a lost boy trying to find my way—thinking I knew everything while understanding almost nothing.

Now at 44, I look back at that young man almost as if he were my son—with compassion for his mistakes and understanding that every challenge shaped who I've become. Those experiences weren't detours; they were the exact path needed to develop the values that define my identity today as a coach, speaker, and mentor. This transformation illuminates something profound about human development: our identity and what we believe we deserve are shaped by our values, which influence every perception, decision, and action we take.

Whether you experience a dramatic shift in values as I once did, or undergo the more common gradual evolution, understanding this principle can catalyze profound personal transformation. After spending four days studying axiology with my mentor Dr. John Demartini, I'm convinced more than ever that many people struggle because they're living according to imposed values rather than discovering their authentic selves. The question worth examining is simple but powerful: Is the image you hold of yourself helping you become who you truly want to be? If not, what needs to change?
