Switching Off, Exiting Survival Mode & the Stories That Hold Us Back

What if the thing holding back your business - and your life - isn’t a strategy problem, but a story you’ve been telling yourself?

This week, business coach Di Foster sits down with Steve to pull apart the quiet narratives running his days: the belief that being constantly connected matters more than being present with his kids, the “survival mode” that kept him buried in the business, and the story about his own body that nearly had him on the sidelines.

It’s an honest, practical conversation about time, presence, persistence, and what actually changes when you rewrite the script.

In this episode:

• Why Steve rebuilt his mornings around the hours that matter most
• The real reason he can’t put his phone down at home - and the simple rule to fix it
• Moving from survival mode to growth mode, and the one hire that changed everything
• How a shift in mindset - not circumstances - changed the story he’d been telling himself about his body
• Why “persistence” might be both his greatest strength and his biggest blind spot
• Reflections: the new venture capturing the stories of families and the businesses they’ve built
