STU MCLAREN: More Money, More Impact

Michael Hyatt & Megan Hyatt-Miller
About this episode

What if the amount of money you earn has a direct bearing on the size of the impact you have in the world? That’s what accomplished entrepreneur and paid-membership pioneer Stu McLaren argues. He shares inspiring examples of how his business has funded charitable initiatives, including building schools in Kenya and creating unforgettable experiences for loved ones.

But it can’t be all hustle: Working harder doesn't necessarily translate to financial success—and often leads to burnout while loved ones and friends are left holding the bag. McLaren passionately advocates for using financial success to create meaningful change in the world, but he also advocates for balance. 

McLaren highlights the importance of setting boundaries, having accountability, and the value of community support in navigating the ups and downs of business achievement. He concludes with practical advice on how to structure your work and environment to foster productivity and balance, leaving listeners with actionable insights on achieving their own double win.

McLaren’s journey offers a powerful example of how to achieve the double win—success in business while nurturing a fulfilling personal life.
