If your business is taking over your life, it’s time to step back and rethink the playbook. Success shouldn’t come at the cost of everything else. The good news is, it doesn’t have to—and I’m the living proof. 

In this episode, the tables are turned as I take the guest seat on Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt-Miller’s podcast, The Double Win. We dive into my journey of building Triad Partners—the company I co-founded to help independent financial advisors grow their businesses without losing sight of what really matters.

We cover everything from transitioning from a sales-driven mindset to a CEO role, to the importance of therapy for high-achieving entrepreneurs, to why business culture will make or break your success. 

I hope this conversation gives you practical insights and fresh perspectives to help you break free from the hustle trap.

3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson & Michael Hyatt …

#1.) Breaking Free from the Hustle Hamster Wheel

Many financial advisors build a business only to find themselves working more hours than ever. We talk about the common cycle of “market, sell, repeat” and how to escape it by structuring your business to scale beyond you.

#2.) The Mindset Shift from Salesperson to CEO

Scaling a business isn’t just about bringing in more clients—it’s about shifting from a doer to a leader. I share the biggest leadership lessons I’ve learned while growing Triad from the ground up and building a 100-person team in just four years.

#3.) Culture Is Everything

Hiring the best talent is important, but if they’re not a culture fit, they’ll do more harm than good. We break down how Triad built a movement around Do Business, Do Life and why culture is the ultimate competitive advantage.
