Fear paralyzed him on Bitcoin. A decade in prestigious law firms surrounded by smart, unhappy people showed him what success without purpose looks like. And a stranger in Home Depot delivered a message that changed the direction of his business. Otis Grigsby played 6 years in the NFL, practiced law at large firms for 6 years, and is now part-legal, part-growth, part-strategy at his wife's health tech marketing agency - and watching ChatGPT recommend their services to strangers without any programming on their end.
In this episode, Otis delivers one of the most honest 10 minutes on this stage: fear is an absolute killer, it paralyzes your training, it makes you forget everything you've built - and it shows up daily whether you have a two-year-old at home or a nine-figure deal on the table. He talks about missing the Bitcoin run, what Christmas in big law looks like when IBM needs a deal closed, and the four-month delay before he finally followed the advice that unlocked his business. Family Office Club has hosted 300+ events over 19 years and $1 billion+ in community transactions - Otis is the kind of operator you only meet in rooms like this.
What is the one thing in your business you keep holding onto that you know you need to let go of?
