Episode 308 - Why I Stopped Giving Everything Away for Free

Episode 308 - Why I Stopped Giving Everything Away for Free31 jul7 min

For years, I gave it all away.

Every insight, every hard-won lesson, every piece of advice I'd earned through decades of building businesses and coaching people through the messiest parts of success. I thought that was generosity. I was wrong.

In this episode, I talk about the moment I realized that giving everything away for free wasn't serving the people I was trying to help, and it definitely wasn't serving me. I get honest about why privacy and value go hand in hand, why the deepest work I do happens in rooms that aren't public, and what changed when I stopped treating access to me like it should cost nothing. If you've ever felt guilty charging for what you know, or wondered why your best work isn't landing the way you hoped, this one's for you.
