In this episode of The Brendon Show, Brendon Burchard interviews entrepreneur and author Dave Hollis, co‑founder of the Hollis Company with his wife Rachel Hollis. The conversation traces Dave’s journey from a senior sales executive at Walt Disney Studios—where he sold blockbuster franchises like Star Wars and Avengers—to the uncertain, identity‑shaking transition of leaving a secure corporate role to launch a personal‑development business with his spouse. Dave describes how the abrupt shift triggered a casual‑to‑problematic relationship with alcohol, how he eventually replaced drinking with running (over 900 miles in a year) and built a disciplined morning routine. The dialogue delves into the challenges of working closely with a partner: differing communication styles, ego, role definition (CEO vs. COO), and the need for radical candor. Dave shares insights from his new book Get Out of Your Own Way, highlighting common “lies” people tell themselves—especially men—about self‑help, identity, and the need for external validation. They discuss the psychological pull of titles during transitions, the impact of sudden public visibility, and practical high‑performance habits (early wake‑up, gratitude, meditation, exercise) that support personal growth. Throughout, both hosts emphasize vulnerability, the importance of asking for help, and actionable steps listeners can take to navigate major life changes.
