What happens after you hit a major life goal—like losing 100 pounds or making your first million—but still feel unfulfilled? In this raw and high-energy episode, Brunson Smith sits down with powerhouse sales leader and author Drewbie Wilson to unpack what really keeps people from maintaining success. They dive into habit formation, personal transformation, and why putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. You’ll also hear surprising parallels between weight loss, podcasting, and entrepreneurship. This one’s for anyone chasing their next level and wondering how to keep it once they get there.

Here’s what we talked about:

• The dark side of success: Why personal growth spikes often lead to setbacks
• Mindset to maintain vs. mindset to achieve
• Why success often fades when habits fade
• Personal transformation through weight loss (twice!) and self-worth
• The trap of the “martyr complex” in entrepreneurs and parents
• Time, energy, and effort: your only non-renewable resources
• Being an example vs. seeking validation
• Letting go of rigid podcast formats for authenticity and energy transfer
• How vulnerability, storytelling, and real conversations drive impact
• Drewbie’s books and tools for tactical accountability in sales and life
