Stu wired his whole career chasing recognition. He didn't know it until a live coaching session on camera revealed the exact lie running underneath everything. Dallin Harmon left a high-paying angel investing role to coach founders full-time — and in this episode, he does it live with Stu. What came up wasn't what either of them expected. What he covers: → Discovering the subconscious belief: "The only way to be valued is to be seen and recognized by the world's standards" → The day Stu's big payday hit his bank account — and his family already had Saturday plans → Calling CFO Mike Andrus and screaming at the top of their lungs on the phone (ten years of work, finally done) → Why reframing thoughts almost never creates permanent change — and what actually does → Two truths that changed Dallin's life: every belief that drives you to suffering is a lie, and your best moments are who you really are → Stu's daughter's four-year health battle, spending 40 days in the hospital, and the moment he snapped at the mold specialist → Three emotional memories used to rewire a belief live on air — including Stu's dad hugging him after a wrestling match → Sending a son off on a mission at the airport and why that moment hit harder than any business win → The Chad Willard quote that landed differently after the coaching: "I don't inhale the compliments, so I don't spiral over the criticism" → Why Dallin says he learned more about himself in 3 years of coaching than in the previous 3 decades combined → The difference between "useful" and "powerful" — and why Stu's drive got him far but couldn't take him further 🔗 CONNECT WITH STU Instagram: @stu Website: https://startupswithstu.com 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 – How Dallin went from building companies to coaching them 02:30 – The cost of building with stress, shame, and overwhelm for a decade 05:00 – "You can have it all — you just have to reclaim your time from suffering" 08:00 – The mold specialist story: Stu's worst self, caught live 13:00 – Two truths that change how you see every hard moment 18:30 – Uncovering the lie Stu didn't know he believed 24:00 – Shocking the brain out of a false belief 28:30 – Three emotional memories used to rewire the belief live 36:00 – The payday, the normal Saturday, and the wake-up call 42:00 – Chad Willard quote + the shift in how Stu will operate now #entrepreneur #startups #founderstory #mindset #coaching #selfawareness #founders #personaldevelopment #leadership #businesspodcast
