Every day, life will hand you something you didn’t expect.

A setback.
A disappointment.
A difficult conversation.
A season you never would have chosen.

The question isn’t whether those moments will come. The question is how you’ll respond when they do.

In this solo episode, Wes shares one of the most impactful lessons he’s ever learned through a story from bestselling author Andy Andrews: every day, you’re going to get pushed into the swimming pool.

That simple metaphor becomes a powerful reminder that while we can’t control every circumstance, we always have the ability to choose our response.

Through personal stories, practical wisdom, and a moving account of his father’s recovery from bacterial meningitis, Wes explores why hope matters, why your words create your world, and how your greatest challenges can become the foundation for your greatest growth.

If you’ve been facing unexpected obstacles, this episode will encourage you to stop asking, “Why did this happen?” and start asking, “How can I grow because of it?”

Most people don’t fail because they lack information. They fail because they keep repeating the same patterns.

In this episode of From Busy to Rich, Wes Young is joined by Rich Campe and Matt Drinkhahn for a conversation about coaching, personal growth, and the habits that shape every area of life. Together they explore why high performers seek outside perspectives, how fear quietly influences our decisions, and why lasting change comes from consistently practicing better patterns—not chasing perfect ones.

Whether you’re leading a business, serving clients, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, this conversation offers practical tools for breaking old habits, managing overwhelm, and creating the kind of growth that compounds over time.

Because becoming better rarely happens by accident—it happens one intentional pattern at a time.

E 194 – Building Freedom Instead of Building Walls with Garrett Gunderson

~ FromBusyToRich

In this episode of From Busy to Rich, Wes sits down with bestselling author, entrepreneur, and longtime friend Garrett Gunderson for a powerful conversation about scarcity, fear, growth, and the financial prisons people unknowingly build for themselves.

Garrett shares the pivotal moments that changed the trajectory of his life — from realizing he was building walls instead of freedom, to learning how mentorship, vision, relationships, and personal growth became the true drivers of wealth and fulfillment.

Together, Wes and Garrett unpack the stories people tell themselves about money, success, work, and security — and why so many high achievers stay stuck even after they’ve achieved outward success.

This episode is especially impactful for entrepreneurs, advisors, and leaders who feel overwhelmed, trapped, or afraid to make the changes they know they need to make.
