Season 1 Finale

This is the final episode of our first year on Making Business Personal.

Instead of asking what you accomplished, this episode asks a different question:
What did your success cost you?

Not just time or energy.
But presence. Health. Relationships. Parts of yourself you set aside to keep things moving.

Success isn’t a trophy.
It’s a relationship.
And every relationship has a cost.

In this episode, we explore:

• The hidden toll of achievement

• Why burnout comes from paying costs you never consciously chose

• The difference between a cost you accept and a tax you don’t realize you’re paying

• How to assess the real price of success before you say yes again

This is a slower, more honest conversation for leaders and high performers heading into a new year.

Don’t just count your wins. Count the cost.

Season 2 begins in January 2025.

From Hollywood soundstages to Silicon Valley boardrooms, Goldie Chan has built a career at the crossroads of art, business, and authenticity. In this unforgettable conversation, Jason Weiss sits down with the “Green-Haired Oprah of LinkedIn” to talk about how creativity, consistency, and humanity can still win in a world run by algorithms.

Goldie shares how producing the 2011 financial drama Cost of Capital, complete with a literal fire on set, taught her everything about leadership, crisis management, and collaboration. She opens up about leaving entertainment for tech, launching 800 consecutive daily LinkedIn videos that changed her life, and turning her insights into her upcoming Hachette book, Personal Branding for Introverts.

Together, Jason and Goldie explore why “edutainment” matters, how introverts and extroverts can elevate one another, and what it truly means to build a personal brand that feels human. You’ll hear candid stories about anxiety, ambition, and the messy middle between creativity and business success, plus a few laughs about Hollywood, LinkedIn fame, and the lost art of the em dash.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn presence into power or how to stay authentic when everyone else is performing, this episode will remind you why vulnerability, curiosity, and genuine connection are still the ultimate superpowers.
