SHOW NOTES
What if your biggest block to raising money, or being the powerful leader you’re dying to be isn’t strategy, but your brain?
In this episode, founder John Cavanaugh shares how he went from exhausted, broke, and doubtful, to raising half a million dollars in one ask. And doing it with ease.
We don’t praise the hustle and grind culture in my podcast. Because it’s the fastest path to burnout.
This episode isn’t the “money mindset” affirmation fluff you see online.
This story is about changing your relationship with money and what you believe is possible around raising money.
And for John it happened in one session with me, with one thought. Yup, mind blowing! And this is the fast transformation we do around here.
