Summary

Done will always beat perfect when you are building your next level. In this episode, I sit down with Drew and Rachel to talk about what it really takes to move through failure, chaos, and fear to build a life, marriage, and multiple 7-figure businesses together. We talk about how to stop operating from burnout, simplify your business to scale faster, and build real wealth instead of just cash flow. They share how messy action became their superpower, why faith and values drive every decision they make, how to raise your standards in business and leadership, and how to stop playing small even when your environment tells you to stay safe. Get ready to think bigger, move faster, and finally step into the CEO version of you.
