In this raw and powerful episode of Level Up + Live, Sean sits down with returning guest Michael Faust. What unfolds is the kind of conversation most business owners are too afraid to have publicly.
Twelve months ago, Michael was drowning in anxiety, reacting instead of leading, losing passion for the company he built, and silently carrying the pressure of managing a 40+ employee operation. Today? He’s rebuilding his life from the inside out.
This isn’t another “10X your business” fluff episode.
This is the real story behind what happens when a business owner finally admits:
“I can’t do this alone anymore.”
From panic attacks and burnout to discipline, accountability, leadership, health transformation, and personal growth, Michael opens up about the painful truths entrepreneurs hide behind success.
Inside this episode:
• Why successful leaders secretly feel isolated
• The dangerous cost of trying to “handle everything yourself”
• How poor health silently destroys businesses
• The mindset shift that changed Michael’s company culture
• Why accountability is the missing link for most entrepreneurs
• The brutal truth about ego, burnout, and leadership
• How Level Up + Live helped transform his marriage, mindset, business, and health
This episode feels less like a podcast and more like a late-night coffee shop conversation with two men telling the truth about what success actually costs.
If you’re exhausted…
If your business is growing but your peace is disappearing…
If you feel like nobody understands the pressure you carry…
This episode might hit harder than you expect.
One conversation could change everything.
