The Rooted Founder Show

Kim Butler, a bestselling author and prosperity pioneer, joins the conversation to redefine wealth beyond mere financial accumulation. She challenges outdated beliefs on chasing financial freedom, emphasizing personal growth and alignment of money with one's mission. Kim reveals the hidden traps of a scarcity mindset and encourages daily practices that foster abundance. Her insights aim to shift perspectives from hustle to peace, helping listeners remember that true freedom is about creating value and serving from a place of overflow.

You built the thing. You chased the dream. You hit the milestones. But deep down… something’s still missing. In this conversation, I sit down with my friend George Bryant to talk about the space between doing well and feeling whole. George opens up about his shift from chasing achievement to living from radical acceptance—and how it changed everything. We unpack how emotional triggers can become turning points, how real community is built (especially in an online world), and why vulnerability isn't weakness—it's the doorway to deeper relationships and real peace. If you're the kind of person who's done “all the right things” but still feels the tug for something more—this one’s for you. Because what got us here... won’t get us there.
