Why do some people rise while others stay stuck, even though they’re just as talented?

In this episode, we sit down with Jason Feifer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur Magazine and host of the Problem Solvers podcast, to uncover why most people unconsciously sabotage their own growth — and how to stop.

This conversation is packed with insights for anyone who feels like they’ve plateaued, burned out, or outgrown their current role. Whether you’re a founder, creator, or just someone with big goals — this one’s going to hit.
