Stop Doing Everything Yourself! Jason Rosado & Jo Jackson on Business, Burnout & Reclaiming Your Fire | 4Ps Podcast
What happens when you're trying to do everything in your business—and it's slowly burning you out? This week on The 4Ps Podcast, Trunnis Goggins II brings together two powerful conversations from two very different perspectives: Jason Rosado, a business breakthrough coach from Chicago, and Jo Jackson, author of Reclaim the Fire. Jason works with small, service-based business owners who want to grow but find themselves overwhelmed by the demands of running everything themselves. In this conversation, he explains why entrepreneurs often become their own biggest bottleneck—and how learning to focus on what truly energizes you can change the way you work and lead. Jason introduces his practical “Cake and Cringe” exercise: identify the things you absolutely love doing, separate them from the tasks you dislike, and begin building a role around the work that gives you energy and produces meaningful results. Then Trunnis welcomes Jo Jackson back to the podcast to discuss her book, Reclaim the Fire. Jo introduces the five principles of her Wolf Protocol—code, courage, contribution, conviction, and congruency—and explains why living consistently with who you say you are is so important. Jo also discusses the history and circumstances she believes have contributed to changing expectations around men, relationships, family, and personal responsibility—and why Reclaim the Fire is intended not simply as a book for men, but as a resource for both men and women.
