What if the biggest obstacle standing between you and your next breakthrough isn't your circumstances, it's the story you're telling yourself?

In this powerful conversation, Coach Chris Wilson sits down with author, speaker, and leadership expert Kelly Moser to discuss his transformative book, Move Your BUT: The Hidden Excuses Keeping High Performers Stuck.

Together, they unpack the mental roadblocks, limiting beliefs, and self-imposed barriers that quietly prevent people from reaching their full potential.

Kelly shares the deeply personal experiences that shaped his leadership journey, including a promise that took a decade to fulfill and a tragedy that forever changed his perspective. Along the way, he introduces the B.U.T. Framework and reveals the "Four Horsemen of Stagnation" which are the hidden patterns that keep even the most driven and successful people from moving forward.

Whether you're navigating a difficult season, struggling with self-doubt, battling perfectionism, or simply feeling stuck despite your achievements, this episode offers practical wisdom and actionable strategies to help you break free and create meaningful momentum.

If you're ready to stop making excuses, challenge your assumptions, and move toward the life you're meant to live, this episode is for you.
