E170 Lessons Learned From Being Inside a Multiple 8-Figure Room

In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner takes you inside a private AI day ran by her best friend, Callan Faulkner in Nashville with 15 women running seven and eight figure businesses, including a conversation with Jenna Kutcher she can't stop thinking about. Fifteen years into the online game, Jenna told her something that stuck: she had won the game of business and wanted to play the games of life she hadn't explored yet. Stephanie gets honest about bouncing between "I'm doing so much" and "I'm not doing enough," why she's spent the last 60 days clearing everything off her plate that isn't aligned, and the question she wants every business owner sitting with: how much of your revenue actually exists outside of your time? She also announces Full Send, the docu-series she's been filming for the past 12 months. Chapters: - 00:04 Welcome & Introduction - 01:57 Power of Expansive Rooms - 05:38 Realizations from High-Performing Peers - 06:52 Insightful Conversation with Jenna Kutcher - 08:53 Building Beyond Success - 11:01 Aligning Purpose with Action - 12:14 Transitioning from Business Owner to Founder - 14:50 Launching a Legacy: The Docu-Series Key Takeaway: Ask yourself the founder question Steph is now building around: how much of your revenue and impact is leveraged outside the hours you put in? A business owner trades time for results. A founder builds assets that keep working when she steps away.

E169 This Is What Building A Wealthy Life Looks Like

In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner is fired up, recording hours after Dr. Nikki Cottis taught a masterclass for The Wealthy Practitioner, the first time in the company's history that a dollar got made without being attached to Stephanie's time and Stephanie's effort. Stephanie unpacks what full send season looks like on the other side of 200 days that felt like getting hit on the chin over and over: releasing the Practice Scaling Assessment, opening her custom AI coaching tool to people outside the Mastermind for the first time, and spending north of $450,000 to put 300 practitioners in a room in San Diego, a number she calls debilitating and is spending anyway because the woman she was two years ago wouldn't have. Then her son Jet, scared about going out on a fishing boat, laid in bed the night before and told her the best description of entrepreneurship she's ever heard: this whole side of my body is really scared and this whole side of my body is excited. Stephanie gets honest about what wealth actually means to her, and money is only part of it. Wealth is picking Jet up from camp in the golf cart and taking him for ice cream on a Friday afternoon. This episode is a call to every business owner stacking losses right now to stay true to what they came for, because it only takes one win to erase all of them. CHAPTERS: 01:10 When Every Dollar Is Attached to Your Time 01:49 The Assessment Built From 10 Years of Frameworks 03:28 From Recalibration Season to Full Send 04:07 300 Practitioners, San Diego, and a $450K Budget 05:22 Jet and the Fishing Boat 07:32 Scared and Excited in the Same Body 08:07 The Real Texture of Building Something Worthwhile 09:21 Five Days on Building a Wealthy Practice 10:34 Why Wealth Is the Golf Cart and the Ice Cream 12:14 200 Days of Losses and the One Win That Reset Everything Key Takeaway: You don't need the losses to stop coming. One win is enough to reset every loss you've been carrying, so stay true to what you came for and don't quit before you get it.

E167: Beyond AI Part 2: Conscious Leadership and the Power of Proximity with Callan Faulkner

In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner sits down with her best friend, Callan Faulkner, renowned AI strategist, for round two of a conversation that goes even deeper than the first. Stephanie shares what really happened in April 2024, when she had $15,000 left in her business account and a $200,000 tax bill she never saw coming, and how a journal entry written in a coffee shop turned into an AI masterclass that made $200,000 in one month. Stephanie and Callan unpack why an emotion is only supposed to last 90 seconds, why 100 phone calls in 24 hours is what discipline actually looks like, and why getting more visible always means getting more criticized, including the day their Zoom room hit capacity on launch day and people online called them a scam. This conversation challenges high-achieving leaders to stop letting their feelings run their decisions and start trusting the people they've built around them to actually lead.

E165: How Business Owners are Getting Sales Massively Wrong (And How to Fix It)

After two intensive days at Salesgirls headquarters with founder Macy McNeely, Stephanie unpacks the lessons every business owner needs to hear: why the fear of being "salesy" is a projection of your own story, why slowing down to understand what's truly holding someone back closes more sales than speed ever will, and why making the conversation about your expertise instead of the person in front of you is costing you clients.

CHAPTERS: 00:04 - Introduction to Conscious Leadership 01:20 - Investing in Team Excellence 02:06 - Overcoming Sales Limiting Beliefs 02:52 - The Power of Slowing Down 04:08 - The Value of In-Person Collaboration 05:20 - Rethinking Sales in Healthcare 06:36 - Asking Better Questions 07:03 - Essential Entrepreneurial Skills Key Takeaway: True sales mastery lies in authentic communication and understanding client needs beyond your own personal projections.

In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner takes you behind the scenes of her VIP day with Ed Mylett, from getting picked up on a dock in Portland, Maine to touring his private island, where within 15 minutes he told her something unexpected: you've already won, and you're allowed to stop here. But if you're going to keep going, don't half-ass it. This conversation matters because it challenges high-achievers to stop negotiating with their potential and commit fully to the expansive vision. Dr. Wigner opens up about the last 12 months that brought her to her knees, the pressure of being seen, nine months of internal battle, and the recalibration that looked like quitting but wasn't.

E163 When's the Last Time You Optimized For Joy? with Nicole Tormey

What if the most important thing you could optimize isn't your business, but your joy? In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Wigner sits down with human performance coach Nicole Tormey, who helps some of the most driven teams in business perform at the highest level by doing something radical: less. Nicole shares why she takes a full month off every year and what she tells her clients before she goes, the story of flying to Bali with no plan and spending seven uncomfortable days learning to stop performing her own vacation, and the weekly check-in her teams refuse to give up. Together, Steph and Nicole get to the question every high achiever eventually faces: when you ask "what is enough," are you really asking "am I enough?" And underneath it all, the thing we forget while chasing every goal: a life you actually enjoy is the whole point. In this episode: The energy audit question Nicole asks before letting anyone add a new habit Why feeling "behind on your optimization" is the warning sign, not the motivation Exactly what Nicole tells clients before taking her month off every year The morning question that reconnected her to what she actually wants Steph's day-by-day calendar boundaries for winning back white space The difference between asking "what is enough" and "am I enough" Joy isn't the reward for hitting the goal. It's the reason the goal was worth hitting.

E161 Become a Wealthy Practitioner: From Doing It All to Leading Like a CEO

In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Wigner sits down with Dr. Nikki Cottis, Head of Curriculum and Coaching at The Wealthy Practitioner, to unpack the patterns they see in clinic owners who struggle to scale. They break down the leadership gaps, control issues, financial blind spots, and system failures that keep practitioners trapped in operator mode.
