#12 - Blindspots of Entrepreneurs
from The Greybeard Show · host Shawn ’Greybeard’ Davis
In this episode of The Greybeard Show, Shawn “Greybeard” Davis pulls back the curtain on the hidden blind spots that quietly drain high achievers, CEOs, and entrepreneurs. He walks through a hard-hitting “checklist of shadows” — from the Mask of the Maker and the Gospel of Your Own Genius to the Commander’s Curse, the Prison of Comfortable Success, the Hollow Hustle, the Armor of Invulnerability, and the Lone Wolf Lie. Drawing on 35+ years in business, three separate seven-figure companies, and near-burnout in his own career, Shawn shows how success can become a cage: where business becomes your identity, control turns into a prison, and you start playing not to lose instead of playing to win. You’ll hear real stories from his time in financial services, house-flipping, and solar, and why many “self-made” leaders are actually exhausted, isolated, and one bad quarter away from collapse. If you’ve built something impressive on the outside but feel empty, stuck, or secretly tired of carrying it all alone, this conversation will help you see where you’re leaking purpose — and what it looks like to live and lead on purpose again.
