In this powerful episode, David dismantles the myth that extroverts are the best connectors. He explains why your ability to listen deeply and build relationships at the speed of trust is your most valuable asset, turning the loneliness of the founder journey into a strength. You'll learn the crucial difference between building a transactional network and a supportive community.
Key Lessons You Will Learn:

• Community Security: The high cost of opportunism and the strict rules required to filter out toxic, low-integrity contacts from your inner circle.

121. The mindset shift that separates stalled founders from successful ones – David Neagle interview
Most founders don’t fail because of a bad idea.
They fail because fear, doubt, and hesitation stop them before they ever really start.
In this episode of Feel the Boot, I sit down with internationally recognized mindset coach David Neagle to talk about what keeps talented people stuck, and how to break free.
We explore:
• Why so many founders never launch
• The mindset shift that drives real change
• How to push through fear and uncertainty
• The discipline behind every successful entrepreneur
• Why authenticity beats confidence when raising capital or building a team
David also shares his powerful personal story, from working a warehouse job to tripling his income in 30 days, and building a multi-million dollar coaching business.
If you’ve been struggling with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or fear of failure, this conversation will hit home.
