ABOUT THE PODCAST

Two Steps Back is a short, weekly podcast for business owners and leaders who feel the pressure of constant motion but know that more speed isn’t the answer.

Each episode is deliberately brief, focused, and practical.
It’s designed to help listeners slow things down just enough to think clearly, regain perspective, and make progress with purpose.

This isn’t a podcast you binge.
It’s a podcast you use.

THE IDEA

Before you push

forward,

step back.

Most business owners don’t struggle because they aren’t capable.
They struggle because they’re overloaded.

Too many inputs.
Too many opinions.
Too many things started and not enough finished.

Two Steps Back exists to challenge that.

The premise is simple:
Before you push forward, step back.
Before you add something new, finish what’s already in front of you.

Each episode focuses on one issue.
One decision.
One habit.
One pressure point.

Listeners are encouraged to sit with it, apply it, and notice the impact before moving on.
