No Plan, No Summit: The Athlete's Approach to Scaling with Michael Bevis, PhD

from The Fitness of Business with Leslie Boyce · host Leslie Boyce, MBA

What does summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro have in common with building a scalable business? More than you'd think. I sit down with Dr. Michael Bevis — industrial-organizational psychologist, serial entrepreneur, and Executive Vice President at TrueSpace — to explore why the way you spend your time is the single greatest predictor of whether your business will scale. We dig into why founders get distracted instead of focused, how community keeps you grounded when the grind gets isolating, and why consistency in your wellness routine is the same muscle as consistency in your business. Michael also shares what 13 years of research and thousands of companies have taught him about the gap between starting and scaling — and what it actually takes to close it.Hey Coach question: How do you build sustainable habits when there are so many fires to put out?Connect with Michael:🌐 Website: https://truespace.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbevis1/https://www.linkedin.com/company/truespacellc/✉️ Email: [email protected]🔗 Stay ConnectedIf this episode resonated and you want more conversations about business, leadership, movement, and sustainable success, you can find me here:🌐 Website: https://www.leslieboyce.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leslieboyce_📝 Substack: https://leslieboyce.substack.com✉️ Email: [email protected] share weekly insights, behind-the-scenes reflections, and resources for business owners who want to grow without burning out.
