When Your Business Outgrows Your Inner Circle with Matthew Riven

Have you ever wondered what really happens to your relationships, both at work and at home, when you start creating big change in your life? This episode gets into the messy, honest, and often uncomfortable reality of what unfolds when you decide to level up. From losing friends and family as you grow, to shifting company culture, to getting your team to align with new standards, change can shake every part of your world. And the hardest part might be trying to keep your integrity intact while still moving your business forward. To help unpack all of this, I’m joined by Matthew Riven, an expert in organizational dynamics and personal development. Together, we explore how deep self-work impacts your business, why company culture matters more than almost anything else, and how to build trust without burning yourself out, for our episode 2 of this little episode series. Expect grounded stories, clear strategies, and practical insights for anyone leading real, meaningful change. This is one you’ll want to take notes on. -------------- DISCLAIMER: This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.
