9 Years Sober: The Mindset Shift That Built My Business!

This is the most personal and powerful episode yet. Samuel Gegen takes you off the entrepreneurship track and into the emotional, challenging, and ultimately life-changing journey of his nine years without alcohol.

Sobriety wasn't just about quitting drinking; it was the starting point for a complete identity shift and the foundation for the freedom and success he has today. Sam shares the raw reality of his struggle—the rock bottom, the tears, and the difficult decision he made on November 14th, 2016, to choose himself.

If you're struggling with anything that holds you back—procrastination, fear, or any destructive habit—this message is for you. This journey proves that the hardest thing you do can become your greatest strength.

The 9 Lessons Learned on the Road to Recovery and Creation:

Sam shares the nine most impactful lessons from his journey, which are directly applicable to leveling up your life and business:

• 2. The Superpower of Alone Time: Embracing solitude to connect with your thoughts and become a powerful, self-aware person.
• 3. Stop the One Thing: Quitting the single habit that truly holds you back to unlock growth you could never imagine.
• 4. Believe in the Shift: Overcoming self-doubt and telling yourself that radical change is truly possible.
• 5. Give Yourself Grace: The importance of kindness and patience when becoming a "new human" and shedding old coping mechanisms.
