240. How to rethink the rules that define your success

240. How to rethink the rules that define your success

What if the rules you’ve been following your whole life, aren’t actually serving you?

In this episode I’m joined by speaker, business therapist, and author Lauren Wittenberg Weiner, whose new book Unruly: Deconstruct the Rules, Defy the Norms, and Define Your Success challenges us to deconstruct the rules, defy the norms, and define success on our own terms.

Lauren’s story is as compelling as it is surprising. A former federal employee who worked in the White House rulemaking office, she went on to found and scale a government contracting firm to over $100 million in annual revenue, by questioning the very systems she once operated within.

Lauren also opens up about navigating life after selling her company, writing her book during an intensely personal season, and what surprised her most about the publishing process.

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by expectations, whether in your career, your family life, or even your own ambition, this episode will invite you to pause, look around, and ask: Are these rules still serving me?
