How do you know when it is time to pivot in life instead of staying committed to something that no longer fits?Jeff Seckendorf joins The ThriveWell Journey for a powerful conversation about pivoting, purpose, aging, reinvention, fun, accountability, and living fully after change. From film and scuba to coaching, endurance cycling, and world-record athletic achievement, Jeff shares what it looks like to keep creating new chapters instead of shrinking into old ones.This episode speaks to anyone rebuilding life after disruption, questioning what comes next, or learning how to tell the difference between quitting and choosing a new direction.

Entrepreneurial leadership and sustainable business success often hinge on breaking through mental barriers that hold us back. In this insightful conversation, entrepreneur and achievement coach Shane Perry teams up with L. Michael Burt to explore how mindset, disruption, and comfort zones affect our ability to reach goals. Drawing from Shane's three decades of experience building sales organizations and studying high achievers, the episode delves into the psychology of achievement and the importance of embracing disruption as a catalyst for growth and purpose after disruption.Whether you're navigating life after disruption or striving to create lasting success, Shane shares practical strategies for overcoming resistance, such as working in focused 90-day cycles and shifting from negative motivation to results-driven mindsets. This episode offers a powerful wake-up call for entrepreneurs and leaders eager to break free from limiting patterns and build sustainable success.Join us to learn why mindset is the greatest obstacle to success today and how you can leverage entrepreneurial leadership principles to pursue a life and business defined by impact and intentional growth.TakeawaysMost people fail their goals because they stay inside their comfort zone. Growth requires disruption and intentional change.Success is built through focused cycles of action. Working in 90-day goal cycles helps create momentum and measurable progress.Negative motivation can be powerful. Sometimes the drive to avoid staying stuck pushes people to take action.Limiting beliefs quietly control behavior. Becoming aware of the mental barriers you carry is the first step to overcoming them.High achievers think differently. They choose action over comfort and pursue a life defined by results, not regrets.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Shane Perry: A Game Changer02:10 The Journey to Entrepreneurship03:51 Overcoming Fear and Procrastination06:09 Setting Goals and Action Plans09:19 Understanding Comfort Zones12:56 The 90-Day Cycle for Success15:36 Cultivating Goals and Vision Boards17:33 The Power of Negative Motivation20:22 Building a New Comfort Zone23:09 Disruption and Its Importance26:46 The Role of Habits in Success28:43 Limiting Beliefs and Mental Shifts30:08 Continuous Growth and New Challenges34:28 Breaking the Mold: The Path Less Traveled36:34 Cultivating Awareness and Mindset38:39 Rekindling the Fire: Motivation and Grit41:50 The Contrarian Mindset: Achievers vs. Non-Achievers44:04 Transformation Through the Journey47:24 Setting Goals for Success50:28 The Drive to Help Others53:55 Success Stories: Real-Life Transformations56:30 Navigating Comfort Zones and Friendships01:00:08 Emotional Resilience and Growth01:03:55 Living a Life of Results, Not RegretsThe Empowered Path: 7 Days to Reclaim Your Purpose and Passion is a guided reset for anyone navigating change, adversity, or reinvention.

In this episode of The ThriveWell Journey, we explore the nonlinear path of healing and its role in entrepreneurial leadership and creating sustainable business success after life disruption.

Fear shows up fast, and in entrepreneurial leadership, it can quietly influence decisions if you do not have language for it. In this episode of The ThriveWell Journey, L.

We unpack the fear triangle, why imposter syndrome hits even high-performing entrepreneurs, and how health and nervous system care affect your ability to lead under pressure.

In this episode of Friday Night Live, host L. Michael Burt continues the Alignment Reset series with a grounded conversation about entrepreneurial leadership, sustainable business success, and life after disruption.This episode focuses on the challenging phase of identity transformation many entrepreneurs and leaders experience when an old way of operating no longer fits, but a new identity has not fully taken shape. L. Michael explores the in-between as a crucial space where familiar identities dissolve and new ways of leading, creating, and living begin to form.Rather than framing this transitional period as confusion or failure, the conversation reframes it as an essential incubation period for creativity, self discovery, and deeper awareness. Listeners will hear why rushing clarity, forcing outcomes, or defaulting to familiar patterns often blocks growth, and how alignment and coherence create space for natural momentum, opportunities, and partnerships.L. Michael shares personal insight from his own ThriveWell Journey, including the evolution of FAYEWAY Media, named in honor of his mother, as an example of leadership rooted in alignment rather than resistance. His experience highlights how sustainable business success emerges when awareness replaces control and coherence replaces force.This episode is designed for entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives navigating transformation, reinvention, and purposeful shifts in 2026 who want to grow without burning out or losing themselves in the process.Listeners are invited to reflect on their own alignment journey, engage with the growing community, and continue exploring this work through The Empowered Path workbook and future Friday Night Live conversations.00:00 Introduction to Friday Night Live04:00 Understanding the Alignment Reset08:51 The In-Between: An Incubation Space12:24 Creativity and Coherence in Transformation16:32 Inviting Community Engagement and AwarenessIf this conversation resonates and you want structured support while navigating the in-between, you are invited to explore The Empowered Path, a companion workbook designed to support clarity, alignment, and awareness during identity transitions.Access the first chapter here:👉 https://bit.ly/TheEmpoweredPath1stchapter
