What this episode covers
In this episode of Scar Tissue, I sit down with my dear friend and client, Gary Kadi, a brilliant entrepreneur who built and sold companies, then chose to pour his energy into helping couples and founders create real connections while they build their empires. We talk about the trap of “shoulds,” how external validation keeps us numb, and why the order of being, doing, and having changes everything. Gary opens up about sobriety, marriage, parenting through an autism diagnosis, and the exact levers that helped him release old identities and lead from a new ground of being.
