November 03, 2026•1 min read

You’re hitting your numbers and doing work you’re good at, so why does it feel so hard to keep showing up? Kareen Zahr joins entrepreneur and investor Lee A. Patterson to explore what happens when the success you’ve built keeps you in a role you’ve outgrown. Through Lee’s moves from physical therapy to franchise ownership and real estate, they uncover how comfort can keep you on autopilot and why changing direction doesn’t mean throwing away everything you’ve learned. Kareen introduces her Creator, Entrepreneur, and Operator framework to help listeners recognize what energizes them, what keeps them stuck in the daily work, and how to start building around a role that actually fits.
