Following Through on Your Purpose | Shab Azma

Shab Azma walked into a four-hour plant medicine journey feeling spiritually bankrupt, directionless, and gutted from losing her biggest client. She walked out with a business plan. The founder of Arc Collective, a women led entertainment management company representing some of the most mission driven talent in the industry, Shab has spent 25 years in entertainment building relationships, managing careers, and quietly becoming one of the most connected people in the business. But it wasn't until she hit rock bottom, losing a client she had poured five years into, questioning everything about her purpose when the real work began. She opens up about leaving a 10-year partnership that had made her feel transactional and hollow, building Arc from scratch during a pandemic with three women who took the leap alongside her, and the moment she sat across from one of the biggest management companies in the business and heard the words "I want to buy your company" four years in. She talks about almost saying yes. And why she didn't. Whether you're an entrepreneur who can't stop doing everything yourself, a leader trying to reconcile who you've been with who you need to become, or someone standing at the edge of a decision that scares you, this conversation will remind you that the follow-through starts on the inside. In this episode you will: Understand why the gap between a powerful experience and real execution requires community, support, and integration, not just inspiration Learn how to identify what only you can do and why everything else is costing you more than you think Discover what chasing really signals about where you are energetically and professionally Recognize the difference between following through on everything and following through on the right things Apply Shab's framework for using fear and ego as a barometer for every major decision you face   🔔 Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.   Follow Shab Arc Collective   Get more from Manny!  Get my book, The Follow Up Paradox!
