What if the thing you've spent your whole career chasing was never going to give you peace of mind? Steve Barton built his floral business to two million dollars in revenue. He had the numbers, the outcome, everything that was supposed to add up to a good life. And still, something was missing. That gap is where this conversation begins. Steve shares how he moved from a life run by constant thinking into a life shaped by awareness and presence, and what changed for him as a result. <...

Send us Fan Mail You can hit every goal on paper and still feel strangely disconnected from your own life. That’s the leadership trap we’re naming out loud: pushing harder, moving faster, and slowly drifting away from what you said mattered most. We sit down with Steve Barton, founder of Steve Barton Coaching and creator of the Game of Ten, an awareness-based leadership and performance framework built for entrepreneurs, executives, and high achievers. Steve challenges the idea that awareness is “soft” and reframes it as the foundation of sustainable performance. We talk about what “10-level awareness” looks like in real life: calm, intentional, respectful, grounded in gratitude, and able to respond instead of react. Then we contrast that with the “game often played” driven by fear, self-doubt, guilt, and shame and how that emotional loop shrinks your options, fuels perfectionism, and keeps teams stuck in tension. You’ll hear a practical reset that Steve teaches clients: six phrases that quiet the ego and bring you back to enoughness, plus a simple way to stop carrying old disappointments by letting go of the thoughts that keep them alive. We also get honest about what happens when you grow: your relationships may change, your standards rise, and “being yourself” becomes the hardest and best leadership decision you can make. If you want clearer decisions, healthier communication, and a leadership practice that doesn’t depend on constant grinding, press play.

Send us Fan Mail If you’re “fine” on paper but tired in your bones, start with one honest question: on a scale of 1 to 10, how are you really doing? We sit down with Steve Parton, a Gestalt-certified mindset coach, entrepreneur, and creator of The Game of Ten, to unpack why so many capable people feel stuck even after they’ve built the life they thought they wanted. His core premise is surprisingly hopeful: you’re already a 10, and the work is remembering it. We talk about how disappointments, trauma, and early conditioning can pull us down from that original wholeness and leave us viewing life through an old lens we may not even remember. Steve explains what different “numbers” look like, why the lower states can keep attracting more of the same patterns, and how awareness and self-acceptance create the foundation for real change. If you’ve been searching for practical tools for self-awareness, mental wellness, emotional healing, and personal growth, this framework gives you a clear language to name what’s happening inside you. We also go straight at perfectionism and control. Steve calls perfectionism the highest form of self-abuse and says the hardest step is often the leap from 9 to 10 because it requires letting go. The paradox is powerful: release control, and you finally gain the kind of control that comes from alignment with your values, purpose, and what you actually want. To close, Steve shares a direct invitation for anyone quietly exhausted: rest and care for yourself first, because you can’t heal others unless you’re healing yourself.
