Walking to Freedom | Darryll Stinson

Former Division 1 athlete Darryll Stinson shares how high-achievers can lose their identity to their career and the steps to find their true purpose. From navigating a career-ending back surgery and severe depression to understanding the power of innate gifts, Darryll unpacks the reality of tying self-worth to performance. He explains why taking a "walk to freedom" is more sustainable than waiting for a sudden breakthrough, and why you might just need to watch The Matrix to step out of a life you weren't meant to live.  ----- YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@foundersclubpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@foundersclubpodcast%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/foundersclub.pod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/foundersclub.pod/%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://founders.club/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://founders.club/%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] ----- Download the FC app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://app.founders.club/download⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://app.founders.club/download%E2%81%A0] ----- FC Events Calendar: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.addevent.com/calendar/Mi881038⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.addevent.com/calendar/Mi881038]⁠ ----- FOLLOW THE HOSTS: Vincent Phamvan (Founder, ⁠Vyten⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vincentpv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/vincentpv/%E2%81%A0] Spencer Donaldson (Founder, ⁠Captive Demand⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/spence_donaldson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/spence_donaldson/%E2%81%A0] Megan J Bruneau (Founder, ⁠Off The Field Coaching⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/meganjbruneau/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/meganjbruneau/%E2%81%A0] Alex Lagos (Founder, ⁠Lagos Creative⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mralexlagos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/mralexlagos/%E2%81%A0] ----- Produced by ⁠Lagos Creative

From Wall Street to Wardrobe | Tiffany Bard

Tiffany Bard, founder of Bump City, shares how she transitioned from a corporate Wall Street career to launching a highly successful maternity boutique in Nashville. From testing her concept out of her home closet and a tiny room below the Bluebird Cafe to navigating long-term commercial leases, Tiffany breaks down the realities of bootstrapping an in-person retail business. She unpacks the importance of proving your product market fit early on, ignoring the naysayers who aren't your target audience, and why building an intimate, empathy-driven community drives organic growth far better than traditional digital marketing. ----- YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@foundersclubpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@foundersclubpodcast%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/foundersclub.pod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/foundersclub.pod/%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://founders.club/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://founders.club/%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] ----- Download the FC app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://app.founders.club/download⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://app.founders.club/download%E2%81%A0] ----- FC Events Calendar: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.addevent.com/calendar/Mi881038⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.addevent.com/calendar/Mi881038]⁠ ----- FOLLOW THE HOSTS: Vincent Phamvan (Founder, ⁠Vyten⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vincentpv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/vincentpv/%E2%81%A0] Spencer Donaldson (Founder, ⁠Captive Demand⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/spence_donaldson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/spence_donaldson/%E2%81%A0] Megan J Bruneau (Founder, ⁠Off The Field Coaching⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/meganjbruneau/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/meganjbruneau/%E2%81%A0] Alex Lagos (Founder, ⁠Lagos Creative⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mralexlagos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/mralexlagos/%E2%81%A0] ----- Produced by ⁠Lagos Creative

Scaling an Agency Without Losing Your Mind | Joshua Johnston

Joshua Johnston joins the show to share how founders can scale a service-based business or agency without losing their minds. From his early days making $3,000 a month as a fitness trainer to becoming an agency CEO and building a successful consulting business, Josh unpacks the realities of running a profitable operation where top-line revenue isn't the only thing that matters. He reveals why client churn, not lead generation, is the actual reason most service businesses fail, how to successfully transition from a freelancer to an agency model, and the critical importance of holding a cash safety net. Alongside the hosts, Josh also explores how AI is forcing a shift toward outcome-based pricing and why returning to "old school" marketing tactics, like shipping physical video brochures, can help your agency stand out in a crowded market. ----- YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@foundersclubpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@foundersclubpodcast%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/foundersclub.pod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/foundersclub.pod/%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://founders.club/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://founders.club/%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] ----- Download the FC app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://app.founders.club/download⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://app.founders.club/download%E2%81%A0] ----- FC Events Calendar: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.addevent.com/calendar/Mi881038⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.addevent.com/calendar/Mi881038]⁠ ----- FOLLOW THE HOSTS: Vincent Phamvan (Founder, ⁠Vyten⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vincentpv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/vincentpv/%E2%81%A0] Spencer Donaldson (Founder, ⁠Captive Demand⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/spence_donaldson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/spence_donaldson/%E2%81%A0] Megan J Bruneau (Founder, ⁠Off The Field Coaching⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/meganjbruneau/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/meganjbruneau/%E2%81%A0] Alex Lagos (Founder, ⁠Lagos Creative⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mralexlagos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/mralexlagos/%E2%81%A0] ----- Produced by ⁠Lagos Creative
