Stephen Scoggins went from sleeping in a borrowed car to building multiple 8-figure companies. But here's what most people don't tell you: he almost lost everything after the exit. In this episode, Stephen reveals the framework that took him from broke to 8-figures—and then taught him how to actually KEEP the money, the health, and the sanity. You'll discover: ✅ The exact mindset shift that separated him from other entrepreneurs (it's not motivation) ✅ How to scale without self-destructing (the "Lion & Lamb" principle) ✅ Why slowing down is your biggest competitive advantage in business ✅ The spiritual framework behind sustainable success (not just hype) ✅ How pride and ego tank deals—and how to spot it before it costs you millions ✅ The exit strategy nobody teaches: what to do AFTER you win This is for founders, sales leaders, and entrepreneurs who are tired of the grind-at-all-costs mentality. Stephen breaks down how stillness, faith, and intentional leadership become your unfair advantage. If you've built something but lost yourself in the process—or you're about to—this conversation will reset your entire approach.
