What if the business you’re building is serving your ego, but not your actual life?

This episode will originally air on The Money Buddha Podcast on Thursday, hosted by Joline Cloutier, who we had on the recent episode 677 of the pod. We’re resharing this conversation here because it was too good not to.

Joline interviewed me about rebuilding a mortgage business after burnout, letting go of the hustle-for-hustle's-sake mindset, and how to create systems and content that match your energy, not your ego. It’s an honest, practical look at what it really takes to build a business that supports your life.

What We Cover:

• Burnout at the Peak – What 260 files a year taught her about limits and sustainability.
• Letting Go of the Hustle Persona – Why ego-driven growth nearly cost her everything.
• Ditching Discovery Calls – How automation and self-booking freed up her time.
• Content Without Comparison – Why she stopped forcing mortgage content and started being real.
• The Money Buddha Podcast – How podcasting gave her a voice, platform, and purpose.

You don’t need a bigger business, you need a business that fits your life. Joline’s story is a blueprint for brokers who want to grow with intention, not ego.
