End-of-Year Reflections: Mindset, Identity, and Building a Business That Actually Serves Your Life

As we close out 2025, Kevin DeGroot and David Bayliff sit down for an honest, reflective conversation about what this year has really required of clinicians, business owners, and leaders.

This isn't a highlight-reel episode. It's a grounded discussion about mental fatigue, seasons of change, identity versus titles, and why building a business gets exponentially harder when life itself is demanding so much of your energy.

In this episode, Kevin and David unpack:

• Why mindset and mental health matter more than ever when building a business

• How seasons of change force us back to fundamentals—and why that's not a step backward

• The difference between who you are and what you do (identity vs. identifiers)

• Why "simple" and "boring" businesses often lead to the most sustainable and fulfilling lives

• How defining success for yourself—not society—can change everything

If you've felt tired, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning whether the grind is worth it, this episode will meet you where you are and remind you that faithful progress in the mundane is often what sets you up for long-term success.
