Success isn’t just about hustle—it’s about surviving the chaos of growth.

Jason Long knows this better than most. After building a 30-person agency, he lost it all in the 2008 crash, nearly died in a horrific car accident, and spent years rebuilding both his businesses and himself.

In this episode, Jason and I get real about what scaling actually takes—the mistakes most entrepreneurs make, and the systems that separate struggling founders from professional CEOs.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why 80-hour work weeks are a badge of failure, not success
• The accident that forced Jason to rebuild his brain—and his businesses
• How private equity taught him the power of financial literacy
• The frameworks he blends (EOS, OKRs, forecasting) to actually scale companies
• The mindset shift that frees entrepreneurs from burnout

This one’s raw, practical, and packed with lessons you can apply today.
