What if the career you've spent decades building is actually keeping you from your true calling?

Master Certified Business Coach Chance Scoggins built a dream career over 25 years in Nashville's music industry, rising from studio singer to top producer. Then he heard God say two words: "Kill it." This episode explores his courageous transition from music production to becoming an elite executive coach working with Fortune 100 CEOs, sports icons, and celebrities. Chance reveals why he traded security for calling, sharing the moment his mentor told him his gift was "bigger than music." His profound insight? Stop asking "What should I do?" and start asking "Who am I here to be?" When you align with your authentic mission, success flows naturally. As founder of One Million Missions and an NLP Practitioner blending brain science, business strategy and spiritual principles, Chance offers practical wisdom for anyone facing forced transitions. "Once you know with clarity and certainty who you're here on this earth to be," he shares, "you can fill that page up a million ways and be successful."
