214: Your Greatest Strength Is Hurting You

What made you successful might be the very thing holding you back.

Meet Kyle. He’s the CEO of a thriving renewable energy company with over 150 employees. He’s brilliant, driven, and relentlessly focused on results. But his demanding schedule, impatience, and constant overthinking are taking a toll. His company is winning, but he’s exhausted, his relationship is suffering, and he’s terrified that slowing down could cost him everything he’s built.

In this episode, Jay sits down with Christina Lecuyer, former professional golfer, executive coach, and host of Decide It’s Your Turn. Together, they explore how your greatest strengths can become your biggest weaknesses, why success doesn’t have to require suffering, and how to achieve more without sacrificing what matters most.
