🌴340. The 3-Month Vacation feat. Sean D’Souza (Weekend Rewind)
I brought Sean D’Souza into a live community call and he promptly blew up every assumption we hold about marketing, overwhelm, scale and what it actually takes to run a profitable business without burning your life to the ground.
This is the guy who has taken three months off every year for two decades, runs a wildly loyal global audience with zero drama, and still answers emails like a human. He’s the quietest operator in the room and somehow the one everyone keeps recommending.
In this episode, we get into things founders hate admitting: spreading ourselves thin across 17 platforms, pretending we “should” be everywhere, chasing growth for no reason and ignoring the tiny cracks that are actually costing us clients.
Sean breaks down
• why you’re overwhelmed before you’ve even started
• how to choose your one plate instead of juggling seven
• the real difference between a homepage, a sales page and an article (and why most people butcher all three)
• why your list doesn’t need to be big, it just needs to buy
• how to market without shouting
• why consulting, training and leverage are the only three lanes you need
• how he built a business that funds his life instead of consuming it
If you’re tired of being told to sprint harder, this conversation will reset your thinking fast.
