Meant to Win

In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner sits down with her best friend, Callan Faulkner, renowned AI strategist, for round two of a conversation that goes even deeper than the first. Stephanie shares what really happened in April 2024, when she had $15,000 left in her business account and a $200,000 tax bill she never saw coming, and how a journal entry written in a coffee shop turned into an AI masterclass that made $200,000 in one month. Stephanie and Callan unpack why an emotion is only supposed to last 90 seconds, why 100 phone calls in 24 hours is what discipline actually looks like, and why getting more visible always means getting more criticized, including the day their Zoom room hit capacity on launch day and people online called them a scam. This conversation challenges high-achieving leaders to stop letting their feelings run their decisions and start trusting the people they've built around them to actually lead.

In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner shares what a $100K investment in developing her team taught her about sales, leadership, and communication. After two intensive days at Salesgirls headquarters with founder Macy McNeely, Stephanie unpacks the lessons every business owner needs to hear: why the fear of being "salesy" is a projection of your own story, why slowing down to understand what's truly holding someone back closes more sales than speed ever will, and why making the conversation about your expertise instead of the person in front of you is costing you clients. This episode is a call to high-performing leaders to ask better questions, sell from service, and align the way you sell with the impact your work is meant to create.

In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner takes you behind the scenes of her VIP day with Ed Mylett, from getting picked up on a dock in Portland, Maine to touring his private island, where within 15 minutes he told her something unexpected: you've already won, and you're allowed to stop here. But if you're going to keep going, don't half-ass it. This conversation matters because it challenges high-achievers to stop negotiating with their potential and commit fully to the expansive vision. Dr. Wigner opens up about the last 12 months that brought her to her knees, the pressure of being seen, nine months of internal battle, and the recalibration that looked like quitting but wasn't. It's a bold reminder that pausing isn't quitting; it's preparation for the next level.

What if the most important thing you could optimize isn't your business, but your joy?
In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Wigner sits down with human performance coach Nicole Tormey, who helps some of the most driven teams in business perform at the highest level by doing something radical: less. Nicole shares why she takes a full month off every year and what she tells her clients before she goes, the story of flying to Bali with no plan and spending seven uncomfortable days learning to stop performing her own vacation, and the weekly check-in her teams refuse to give up. 
Together, Steph and Nicole get to the question every high achiever eventually faces: when you ask "what is enough," are you really asking "am I enough?" And underneath it all, the thing we forget while chasing every goal: a life you actually enjoy is the whole point.
In this episode:

The energy audit question Nicole asks before letting anyone add a new habit

Why feeling "behind on your optimization" is the warning sign, not the motivation

Exactly what Nicole tells clients before taking her month off every year

The morning question that reconnected her to what she actually wants

Steph's day-by-day calendar boundaries for winning back white space

The difference between asking "what is enough" and "am I enough"

Joy isn't the reward for hitting the goal. It's the reason the goal was worth hitting.
