Main Business Issues:
Difficulty in briefing his team on tasks and frequently taking on projects himself rather than trusting his team
A constant fear of inactivity and perceiving not working as being "lazy"
Jacob felt conflicted to maintain business momentum while being a present father and husband.
Jacob’s Key Insights and Takeaways:
Jacob confronted the uncomfortable truth that his relentless drive wasn't about building a legacy, but was secretly fueled by a deep-seated fear of failure and losing everything he had built.
His nervous system was addicted to chaos, causing him to subconsciously create problems at work just to feel the familiar, addictive comfort of stress.
He came to understand that to be the leader and father he truly wants to be, he must stop running from failure and consciously define what it means to run toward a new life built on peace and presence.
