About this episode:
You can run an $18M business with 300 employees and still be miserable — because the thing making you tired is the same thing you think makes you valuable. Dwayne Kerrigan has owned 31 businesses across 15 industries in 40 years, studied under Stephen Covey and Keith Cunningham (the "rich dad" from Rich Dad Poor Dad), and spent a decade at Tony Robbins' side as his bodyguard, capturing everything.

- The identity framework Dwayne has taught to hundreds of owners — and why fewer than 5% ever act on it. Plus the four economic seasons, the identity each one demands, and where he'd bet we are right now.
