The Cost of Staying Comfortable | #28

Too many high achievers are living lives that look successful on paper but feel empty on the inside.
In this powerful conversation, host Elke Rubach sits down with Amy Lessinger—former President of RE/MAX, leadership strategist, and author of The Irreversible Step—to explore why so many leaders get trapped by comfort, golden handcuffs, and fear disguised as "responsibility." Amy shares the transformative decisions that reshaped her life and career, the framework she now teaches high performers, and the hidden cost of indecision on wealth,
relationships, and wellbeing. Together, Elke and Amy unpack the psychology of real change, the biology of fear, and what it truly means to build a life by design, not by default.

Key Takeaways

• Why indecision is the most expensive habit
• How "safety" becomes the silent jailer of high achievers
• The framework behind The Irreversible Step and how to apply it
• The signs you're ready for a transition—even if you don't feel ready
• How courage becomes a disciplined system, not a feeling

This episode invites you to stop circling your potential and start building the life, leadership, and freedom you actually want.
