When an introverted occupational therapist burned out, he never imagined leading a global health community — or launching a marketing agency helping coaches scale to 6+ figures.

In this episode, Corey Hibben shares how loneliness led him to create a local meetup that grew into a major community, how he quit a job he hated (over a conversation about black jeans), and how he now helps health professionals grow without chasing every shiny tactic.

You'll learn:

• Why trying “everything” in marketing usually means nothing works

• How to lead without being extroverted

• The 80/20 of real community-building (even online)

• High-ROI routines for health, mental clarity, and energy

• Why vanity metrics (followers, likes) don’t pay the bills — and what actually does

Whether you're a coach, creator, health professional, or builder of any kind, this episode is packed with grounded, actionable advice.

🎧 Listen now and start designing a business — and life — that actually fits you.

In this episode of The Willpower Podcast, I sit down with Michael Cox — a musician, entrepreneur, and creative powerhouse — to uncover the real story behind building a dream from scratch.

We pull back the curtain on the dark side of ambition: 20-hour workdays, sleepless nights, undercharging for your value, and the emotional toll of turning your passion into a paycheck. Michael gets raw about accountability struggles, entrepreneurial growing pains, and how to keep the spark alive when survival mode kicks in.

This isn’t just a conversation — it’s a mirror for anyone chasing a creative dream while trying to stay whole in the process.

🌟 In this episode, we explore:

• Why pricing yourself right is an act of self-respect

• The hidden dangers of the 24/7 hustle mentality

• How accountability can fuel (or fracture) your growth

• Turning creativity into a business — without losing your passion

• Real-life lessons from launching a music studio and navigating entrepreneurship

🎧 Whether you're an artist, freelancer, business owner, or side hustler trying to balance ambition with sanity — this one’s for you.
