How Your Mindset Is Keeping You Stuck
Fri Feb 06 2026
Most business owners think they’re stuck because of the market, their team, or a lack of opportunity. In reality, they’re stuck because their mindset never gets challenged.
In this episode, we explore how unexamined beliefs quietly dictate behavior, decision-making, leadership style, and ultimately business outcomes. Not from a motivational angle — but from a neuroscience and cognitive bias perspective.
We break down why:
Your brain is wired to protect identity, not truthEgo filters feedback before logic ever gets involvedRepeating the same behaviors while expecting new outcomes isn’t discipline — it’s biologyMindset doesn’t just affect you; it shapes culture, trust, and leadership dynamicsThrough real stories, leadership examples, and in-the-trenches experience, this conversation exposes how founders unknowingly reinforce the very patterns they say they want to escape.
The episode also challenges a hard truth: better decisions don’t come from more experience — they come from better questions.
📌 Key takeaway: Your growth isn’t limited by what you don’t know — it’s limited by what you refuse to question.
