In this coaching monologue, Dr. Noah St John shares a concrete example from a client named Charles, a business owner in North Carolina. Charles completed a "caveman quiz" and used a calculator to assess the hidden cost of his unaddressed behavioral barrier, estimating it at $1 million (potentially more) over the next 12 months. Dr. St John emphasizes the need to "take off the brake" and "tame the caveman," urging immediate action to prevent further financial loss. The segment illustrates how quantifying the cost of primitive, fear‑driven thinking can motivate business leaders to engage in behavioral change coaching.

Let me give you a perfect example from one of my clients. So, I was talking with one of my clients named Charles. Now, he is a business owner in North Carolina. And he took the caveman quiz and did the calculator and realized this was costing him a lot of money if he didn't fix it. So, we were on a call and I said to him, well, Charles, how much do you think it is costing you if we don't fix this problem, if we don't take off the brake, and if we don't tame the caveman? Well, without batting an eye, he said, $1 million. This is easily costing me $1 million, if not more. You know, just in the next 12 months. I said, Charles, I hear this every day. I mean, people say to me all the time, Noah, this is easily costing me $1 million, could be $5 million or more. So, we got to get this handled. I said, so, I tell you what.
