Summary

Barrett Brooks is an executive coach and former COO helping seven-figure creators grow their businesses and lead with integrity - blending strategy, psychology, and leadership to fuel sustainable success. In this episode, Barrett unpacks for the Fire Nation how mastering the inner game of leadership drives clarity, performance, and growth.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Most entrepreneurs don't lack knowledge; they resist the emotional cost of action. Success depends on mastering your inner world, not collecting more tactics.

2. Burnout isn't about overwork; it's about underusing your agency. Taking back control of your choices restores energy and clarity.

3. Notice, pause, and choose differently. Awareness of your internal reactions is the foundation for sustainable leadership and growth.
