Love Under Pressure: Dating While Building an Empire with Alexander Johnson

Love Under Pressure: Dating While Building an Empire with Alexander Johnson

What happens when the pursuit of building an empire collides with the desire for love? Can entrepreneurs truly have both — without sacrificing one for the other?

In this episode, I’m joined by Alexander Johnson, founder of Mixt Solutions, host of the Entrepreneur, Among Other Things podcast, and a man who’s generated over $200 million in online sales. Alexander knows firsthand the pressure that comes with ambition, and together we dive into the realities of dating, intimacy, and relationships when you’re building something massive.

We explore:

Why so many entrepreneurs treat love like a distraction or “side hustle”
The hidden fears behind putting relationships on hold until after “making it”
How high performers can unintentionally turn intimacy into another KPI
The emotional toll of leading in business but lacking support at home
Shifts, practices, and reframes that help entrepreneurs build love alongside their empire

This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and empowering — a reminder that love isn’t optional fuel, it’s foundational fuel. Whether you’re scaling your business or just dreaming bigger for your life, you’ll walk away with hope, clarity, and practical ways to stop postponing love and start letting it amplify your success.
