What if everything you’ve been working toward — the revenue, the recognition, the “success” — ends up draining you instead of filling you?

In this episode, I sit down with serial entrepreneur Mike Brcic, founder of Wayfinders. Mike opens up about the moment he realized he was building his business for validation — not fulfillment. That realization transformed everything and led him to create a business rooted in purpose, community, and adventure.

Our conversation dives into what it really means to shift from ego to service, and how aligning your business with your soul can change the way you lead, serve, and grow. Mike’s story is a powerful reminder that success without fulfillment isn’t success at all.

If you’ve ever felt that your business looks good on paper but doesn’t feel good in your body… this episode will hit home.

🎧 Hit play and discover what business can become when you follow your purpose — not the pressure.

📌Key Takeaways
✅The soul of a heart-led business (yes, it’s deeper than just feelings)
✅How chasing validation nearly derailed Mike’s entrepreneurial journey
✅The art of reverse-engineering a business that feeds your soul (and your bank account)
✅Why your customers’ deepest desires might not be what you think
✅Creating transformational experiences through community, adventure, and introspection

📌About the Guest
Mike Brcic is a seasoned entrepreneur and founder of Wayfinders, a transformative retreat that blends personal growth with deep connection. With 27 years of experience, he helps leaders break isolation, build meaningful relationships, and reconnect with purpose.
