What Is The Cost Of Success | Justin Lund
šŸ”„ This week’s episode of The Above The Bar Podcast airs live at 8pm EST on Tuesday, Nov 26th — and we’re asking a question every entrepreneur eventually faces:What’s the real cost of success… and are you paying too much for it? Our guest is Justin Lund, a founder who has lived both the high highs and the devastating lows of entrepreneurship. Justin has built and exited companies… but he’s also battled addiction recovery and lost tens of millions of dollars in a legal war most people wouldn’t survive. Those experiences reshaped how he thinks about success, freedom, and the emotional load leaders carry behind the scenes. Today, Justin helps business owners break through what he calls ā€œthe capacity ceilingā€ā€”that invisible wall where hustle stops working, burnout takes over, and the life you built your business for starts slipping away. He teaches entrepreneurs how to shift their mindset, build real systems, and delegate with confidence so they can finally step back without their entire world collapsing. He’s genuine. He’s relatable. And his story hits home for anyone who has ever wondered whether the grind is costing too much. šŸŽ™ļø Catch the episode live at 8pm EST on Tuesday, Nov 26thJoin us, ask questions, be part of the conversation, and belly up to the bar. šŸ”— Follow Justin:Instagram: instagram.com/itsjustinlundYouTube: youtube.com/@itsJustinLundLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/justin-lund-propelFacebook: facebook.com/justin.lund.propelWebsite: propelyour.comEmail: [email protected] #TheAboveTheBarPodcast #BeSureToPushYourStoolIn #EntrepreneurLife #FounderFreedom #Leadership #JustinLund #CapacityCeiling #SuccessMindset #BusinessGrowth #BurnoutPrevention
