For leaders who chase big goals but crave meaning just as much as momentum — this conversation is for you.
 
Dr. J.J. Peterson sits down with Amy Porterfield, New York Times bestselling author of Two Weeks Notice, to unpack how ambition can serve you without consuming you.
 
Amy shares how she went from corporate employee at Tony Robbins to building a multimillion-dollar business — and how redefining “enough” transformed both her leadership and her life.
 
Together, they dig into the leadership lessons that every high-performer needs to hear: how to bet on yourself, stop moving the goalposts, and lead with clarity instead of chaos.
 
You’ll learn:
The moment Amy realized she’d been chasing success at the expense of freedom
How to tell the difference between healthy ambition and fear-driven overachievement
Why most leaders keep moving the goal line — and how to stop
The quiet leadership skill that accelerates growth: marking the moment
How to evolve your business (and identity) without losing your purpose
What “enough” really means — and how to build around it
This episode isn’t about slowing down — it’s about leading smarter.
