In this episode of The Stroke It Podcast, Jenny sits down with leadership trainer and coach Mbo’a Pascal for a powerful, practical conversation about personal wiring, discipline, and building sustainable success as both a leader and a human.

Mbo’a shares how growth starts with awareness, acceptance, and adjustment—and why most people stay stuck because they never examine the subconscious patterns driving how they think, work, communicate, and relate to others. You’ll hear how being “high energy” and full of ideas can actually sabotage progress without structure, and why discipline—not motivation—is what turns vision into results.

Jenny brings real-life examples from running a business for ten years, managing teams with very different personalities, and navigating the constant challenge of staying focused instead of chasing every new idea. Together, they unpack how understanding your wiring can help you stop trying to do everything yourself and start building systems—and teams—that actually support growth.

They also explore workplace dynamics, including how leaders can treat employees the way they want to be treated, why DISC personality awareness changes communication, and how to connect an employee’s personal dreams to the company’s mission for deeper engagement. The episode wraps with a simple but powerful action step anyone can take to begin rewiring their leadership and life.
