Cameron Herold (ex-COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?) scaled the company from $2M to $106M in six years.
In this conversation we dig into the mindset and mechanics behind rapid growth: raising prices when it’s scary, building a magnetic culture, driving PR at scale, and the leadership shift from “doing the work” to growing people.
Cameron unpacks his Vivid Vision framework, how CEOs can run an energy audit on their calendar, and why you should delegate everything except genius.
We also get real about failures—nearly bankrupting the company at $60M—and the habits that keep him sharp today, including quitting alcohol and living as a global nomad.
You’ll learn: how to identify the one problem that moves the needle, turn praise into performance, and align your team around a 3-year future you can actually build.

The Weight of Growth — Breaking Out of Maintenance Mode
Lifting a weight you can manage over and over again isn’t growth — it’s maintenance.
And the same principle applies to your life and business.
In this episode, Seamus explores what it really means to grow — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
He dives into why so many business owners get stuck in “maintenance mode,” playing it safe in their comfort zones, and calling it progress.
In this episode, I sit down with Fit Mind Academy member and business owner, JB Dobbins.
Two years ago, JB stepped out on his own to start his company — and since then, he’s seen major growth in his business, mindset, and performance.
We talk about how the Fit Mind Academy helped him gain clarity, drop weight, and level up as a business owner and leader.
A powerful conversation on mindset, focus, and personal growth for anyone building a business and a better version of themselves.
In this episode, I sit down with a mentor of mine Dr. John Demartini to explore the timeless questions of the soul — from Greek philosophy to modern science. We discuss the illusions of success and failure, how to find balance in business and life, and why chasing one-sided outcomes can hold you back from true growth. This conversation is packed with insights for anyone committed to expanding their mind and living with greater purpose.
“Wants equal sacrifice. If you want something meaningful, there’s a trade. Most men say they want change, but when the bill arrives—time, comfort, ego, certainty—they stall. In this short episode I’m breaking down the hidden costs that keep you circling: mixed values, cheap dopamine, protecting an old identity, and fear of short-term loss.
If you’re serious about getting what you say you want, you need to decide what you’re willing to give up—and in what order. Let’s get clear, cut the excuses, and move.”
Voids shape values and in this short episode Seamus shares some of the voids that really impacted his life.

Most CEOs think fear of failure is what holds them back.
The truth is, it’s the fantasy of success that creates the fear in the first place.
In this episode, Seamus breaks down why success fantasies lead to anxiety, how fear is simply the counterbalance to unrealistic expectations, and why the only way forward is to ground yourself in your values, your mission, and the present moment.
Three years without a drop. No hangovers, no excuses—just clarity, energy, and a different way of living.
In this short episode, I share what’s changed and what you could lean into if it's for you too.

He shares why he joined Fit Mind Academy, what’s changed since, and how aligning his mind has helped elevate every part of his life.
I really enjoyed this conversation in Dublin on Dan Campions fantastic podcast.
We often say we value one thing, but our behaviours and actions can demonstrate something else. Seamus has spent years coaching humans, originally in a health and fitness capacity, and now in the performance, personal development and business arena. He explains how we so often develop habits and behaviours that don't align with the values we say we hold, and how we can develop new patterns at any stage in our lives to help us move back towards the people we actually want to be.

🎙️ Rare Breed: The Truth About Being a Business Owner
As I wrap up the week, I’ve found myself reflecting on just how rare the path of business ownership really is. It’s not just about strategy or hustle—it’s about navigating constant uncertainty, carrying a vision when no one else can see it, and growing through every challenge.
In this episode, I’m sharing some honest reflections from my own journey—the wins, the lessons, and the mindset that’s kept me going when most would quit. If you’ve ever felt like you’re wired a little differently… maybe you are. And that might just be your greatest strength.

George Flynn of Garrison Financial Planning shares insights on navigating market volatility and developing a sound investment strategy that withstands economic uncertainty. His approach emphasizes data-driven decision making and understanding the psychology behind successful long-term investing.
• The best time to start investing is always "yesterday" – time in the market beats timing the market
• Market data shows impressive odds of success: 70% chance of positive returns after 6 months, 83% after 5 years, 93% after 10 years, and 100% after 20 years
• Understanding the difference between trading (speculation) and investing (long-term wealth building)
• Investment vehicles explained: stocks (concentrated), ETFs (more diversified), index funds (highly diversified), and bonds (stable income)
• Media sensationalism can trigger emotional decisions – "The Weather Channel loves a hurricane"
• Investment is like a bar of soap – the more you touch it, the smaller it gets
• The average investor significantly underperforms market averages due to behavioral mistakes
• For business owners: focus on protecting capital from inflation and efficient wealth transfer
• George's practice focuses on providing clarity and structure for business owners and their families
Turn off the financial news, stick to your long-term plan, and if you're not working with a financial advisor, consider finding one who can help structure your investments appropriately for your goals.
