What happens after you hit a major life goal—like losing 100 pounds or making your first million—but still feel unfulfilled? In this raw and high-energy episode, Brunson Smith sits down with powerhouse sales leader and author Drewbie Wilson to unpack what really keeps people from maintaining success. They dive into habit formation, personal transformation, and why putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.
