One Part Lion, One Part Lamb with Stephen Scoggins

What if the very drive that helped you build your success is the thing quietly destroying your peace? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I’m joined by Stephen Scoggins, faith-driven entrepreneur, speaker, author, and founder who went from homelessness at nineteen to building and exiting a company that generated upwards of nine figures in annual revenue. Stephen's story is one of grit, resilience, and extraordinary achievement. Armed with little more than a truck, a set of tools, and relentless determination, he built a thriving business from construction-site cleanup into an industry powerhouse. But while the company grew, something inside him began to disappear. The turning point came not in a boardroom, but through a simple truth spoken by his son: "If you would just be more present when you are present, that's what matters to us." That moment forced Stephen to confront a reality many leaders never acknowledge: that success built on a fractured foundation is never sustainable. Today, Stephen teaches leaders how to integrate what he calls One Part Lion and One Part Lamb, combining courage, conviction, and bold leadership with humility, surrender, and faith. In this conversation, we explore the hidden cost of achievement, the power of presence, and how to build a life that succeeds both publicly and privately. If you're tired of choosing between success and fulfillment, this episode is for you.
