In this episode…
Some entrepreneurs chase business growth while neglecting their personal health, leadership skills, and mindset. They pour time and energy into marketing, sales, and operations, but often feel overwhelmed, unbalanced, or burned out in the process. How can business owners achieve freedom without sacrificing their well-being or relationships?
Leadership and personal development expert Michael Agugliaro has developed the Parthenon framework and identified seven powers within it, including leadership, marketing, business, sales, life, wealth, and relationships. Meaningful growth begins with self-reflection and strengthening life power — health, mindset, and personal fulfillment — before scaling the other pillars. By conducting a personal audit, rewriting limiting beliefs, and prioritizing leadership built on inspiration rather than aggression, you can create sustainable growth and holistic freedom.
In today’s episode of FuDog.TV, Chad Franzen of Rise25 hosts Michael Agugliaro II, Head Coach at FuDog Group, to discuss building a business and life with intention. Michael talks about overcoming imposter syndrome, redefining wealth, and the value of self-reflection.

Quotable Moments:
“Sales power is being so persuasive with the solution to someone's problem. It would be silly for them to say no.”
“Freedom is being able to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, wherever you want.”
“No one wants to hear it starts with you. You're the problem, right? No one wants to hear that.”
“We don't believe in objection handling. We believe if you get there, you fail.”
“It's so easy to self-deprecate ourselves and bring our own... ego can be a positive as well.”
Action Steps:
Conduct a personal audit of your life, business, and wealth: Assessing each area on a scale from 1-10 reveals blind spots and opportunities for growth. This honest evaluation ensures your efforts are directed where they will have the greatest impact.
Strengthen leadership power first: Leading with inspiration instead of aggression sets the tone for every other business pillar. Strong leadership builds trust and alignment, driving team performance and long-term growth.
Prioritize life power by focusing on health and mindset: Entrepreneurs often neglect personal well-being in pursuit of success, which can derail business momentum. Protecting health and mental clarity ensures you can sustain high performance and enjoy the rewards of your efforts.
Eliminate the search for a “silver bullet” in wealth building: Sustainable wealth comes from structured strategies, not risky fads or quick wins. Avoiding this trap helps entrepreneurs build reliable financial freedom and long-term security.
Rewrite limiting beliefs to overcome imposter syndrome: Challenging the internal stories that hold you back fosters confidence and decisive action. This mindset shift unlocks new opportunities in leadership, relationships, and business growth.
