  • Why Founders Fail: Ego, Burnout, and the Systems They Avoid | Going Forward 115
    Apr 22 2026
    In this honest and eye-opening episode 115 of Going Forward, host Eric Elliott sits down with entrepreneur, automation expert, and Co-CEO of Biggest Goal, Alane Boyd, to unpack what it really takes to scale a business without losing yourself in the process.Alane has built and exited multiple companies, but what she shares in this conversation goes far beyond strategy. From the painful reality that “no one owes you their loyalty” to the moment she was forced to step back from her own company, she reveals the hard truths most founders avoid until it’s too late.Together, they explore the hidden costs of growth, including burnout, identity loss, and the pressure of being the “hero” inside your own business. Alane opens up about the physical toll scaling took on her health and how chronic stress forced her to rethink everything.They also dive into one of the biggest mistakes founders make: believing that being good is enough. As Alane explains, if you’re not telling your story, no one knows you exist, and that misunderstanding can quietly limit your growth.From systems and automation to leadership and letting go, this episode challenges the way most people think about building a company. It’s not just about scaling revenue, it’s about building something that can operate without you.Topics include:The emotional reality of scaling a businessWhy employees leaving can break a company without systems in placeThe danger of “hero syndrome” in leadershipHow burnout can physically impact your healthWhy marketing yourself matters more than you thinkBuilding systems that protect your businessHow AI and automation are reshaping the future of our workThis episode is a powerful reminder that growth isn’t just about doing more, it’s about letting go.Connect w/ Eric Elliott:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericelliott.com/Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/ericelliottspeakerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theericelliott/ Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ericmelliott/Twitter: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/EricMElliottTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ericmelliottEmail: Eric@EricElliott.comText: 843-279-5843Connect w/ Alane Boyd:Website: https://www.biggestgoal.ai/Medium Articles: https://medium.com/@AlaneBoydLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alaneboyd/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_hurricanealane/Supercharge your online advertising campaigns with Optmyzr!

  • Why Empathy Still Wins in a World Fueled by AI with Jason Myers | Going Forward 113
    Jan 21 2026

    In this episode of Going Forward, Eric Elliott sits down with Jason Myers, CEO of Legal Conversion Center, for a no-BS conversation about leadership, empathy, and the unseen moments that define a company’s reputation.
    Jason shares his unlikely path from answering phones for minimum wage to leading a 100+ person organization built on one simple philosophy: dignity and respect. Together, they unpack why empathy isn’t a soft skill, but a competitive advantage, especially in an industry where calls often come on the worst day of someone’s life.
    They also tackle the reality of AI in legal intake. Jason breaks down where automation works, where it fails, and why the most important calls; the ones that shape trust, reputation, and outcomes still demand a human voice.
    This episode is about people, culture, and responsibility. About earning profit the right way. And about remembering that behind every phone call is a human being who needs to feel heard.
