What if the secret to success wasn't just about focusing on going higher, but instead digging deeper? Welcome to The Mile Deep Podcast —the show where we explore the foundational work that makes extraordinary leadership possible." "I’m Benjamin Owen, a leadership coach who’s spent over a decade working with hundreds of leaders. And here’s what I’ve learned: If you haven’t done the deep inner work—the thinking structures, the mindset shifts, the foundational habits—scaling your business will feel way tougher than it needs to be. Growth without a solid foundation isn’t impossible… but it is exhausting." This podcast is my quest as a guy who is fascinated by the inner work necessary to create outer success and my invitation to you is to join me as I find out what self development some of the highest performing people in the world have done to create success that scales a mile high. Here’s my belief after coaching 100’s of leaders over the last 10+ years: That unless you have done the deep inner/ foundational work, you’ll struggle to deal with growing your business. Not that you WON’T grow your business, it’s just that it will feel way tougher as you may not have the necessary thinking structures in place to deal with the stresses, challenges and journey of growth. I want to know what's worked and what’s not worked for some of the highest performers and what tools they’ve learned, used and even let go of in order to reach the success they’ve created today. I’ll also be sharing some of my own personal insights for you along the way, whether that be some of the work I’ve done in my own coaching or what’s working for me right now.
