What if working less could actually help you scale faster? In this
episode of the Grown Up Business Podcast, Paul chats with Ben
Coomber, founder of Awesome Supplements and high-performance coach,
about how he went from complete burnout and long Covid to running a
multi-million pound business while working just 25 hours a week.
Ben gets really honest about his journey from being a controlling,
fear-driven CEO putting in 70-hour weeks to finally stepping back,
hiring a proper COO, and figuring out that his best business ideas
actually happen when he's nowhere near the office. They dig into
why meditation isn't just wellness nonsense but actually a
strategic business tool, how getting seriously ill with long Covid
forced him to completely rethink leadership, and why freedom should
be the whole point of building a business, not something you get
after you've destroyed your health. If you're an entrepreneur
burning yourself out trying to control everything, or you're
wondering how you can actually scale without sacrificing your
health and family time, this conversation is going to challenge
everything you think about success. Key Takeaways Get "How to Live

week can actually be way more productive than 70 hours if you get
it right When to exit a business before you lose passion and the
value tanks How long Covid taught Ben that being healthy isn't just
about the physical stuff Why meditation is really about paying
attention to yourself and spotting where you need to do the work

operator and start thinking like an investor in your own business
