The LeanScaper Podcast

Momentum isn’t something you summon. It’s something you build. 

In this episode, Benji Carlson sits down with mental fitness coach Fyfe Barraclough to explore how momentum actually compounds and why most leaders unknowingly sabotage it. 

The conversation moves beyond motivation and into systems: how energy, clarity, alignment, action, and reinforcement interact to either accelerate progress or quietly slow it down. 

Inside the episode: 
• Why momentum feels elusive even when effort is high 
• The leadership behaviors that quietly kill forward motion 
• How progress becomes self-reinforcing when built correctly 
• Why small, visible wins matter more than big pushes 
• How to spot the real bottleneck in your momentum If progress has felt harder than it should, this episode offers a more precise way to think about how momentum is created — and maintained.
