Entrepreneurs grow by expanding their universe

Don't miss
Brian turns “Where is my universe expanding?” into a practical daily test for whether growth is actually happening.
The brief
Brian opens a week of daily solo episodes with one question: “Where is my universe expanding?” He presents it as a prompt for finding the next chapter of growth.
The argument is simple but demanding: entrepreneurs and businesses cannot grow beyond their current perspectives, relationships, skills, and routines.
Expansion requires intention, not vague optimism. New connections, unfamiliar experiences, and continued learning can widen the world that business decisions come from.
The episode’s standout idea is a daily check on whether life and work are genuinely expanding—or merely repeating familiar patterns.
Growth, in this framing, begins before a new strategy or milestone: it starts by noticing what has become too small and deliberately moving beyond it.
