#13 - Todd Johnson | Why Work-Life Balance Is a Lie (When You’re Building Something Big)

What does it really take to go from the Air Force to building and selling a multi-million-dollar tech company? In this episode of Wealth Made Simple, Todd Johnson shares the unfiltered truth about entrepreneurship, skill building, risk, and why work-life balance might be a myth — at least in the beginning.Todd walks through his journey from enlisting in the Air Force at 17 to developing high-level technical systems, creating a “forward-looking resume” to double his income, getting fired while secretly building his business, and ultimately betting on himself. He breaks down the mindset shift from technician to salesperson, why skill stacking creates opportunity, and how fear never goes away — you just have to build conviction that’s stronger than it. If you’re a W2 employee thinking about starting a business, or an entrepreneur struggling with sales, systems, or scaling, this conversation will challenge the way you think about success.If this episode brings you value, make sure to subscribe, like, and comment your biggest takeaway.
