Where are you spending time on what you’re good at—but secretly dread?

In this episode of Mpowered Living, Ann Sheu sits down with Mark C. Winters for a powerful conversation on intentional living, visionary leadership, and the clarity that comes from truly knowing yourself.

Mark—co-author of Rocket Fuel and author of his newest book, Visionary—shares what he’s learned from working with driven entrepreneurs who move fast, think big, and often feel misunderstood for being “too much.”

Together, they unpack what happens when visionary strengths are undervalued (even by the visionary), why many leaders get stuck in the “trap” of doing what they’re good at—but don’t enjoy—and how clarity about your “why” becomes the foundation for a business and life that actually serve you.

In this episode, they explore:

• Why visionary entrepreneurs can feel “unemployable” in traditional environments
• The overlooked superpowers visionaries often dismiss because they come naturally
• The “trap quadrant”: being great at something you dread—and how it drains your energy
• What it means for the business to serve you (instead of you serving the business)
• How the visionary–integrator relationship creates healthier execution and less chaos
• A simple mindset practice: “think about what you think about” to reduce spirals and stress
• How defining your future (and your version of freedom) changes how you lead today
• This conversation is especially relevant for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to grow without burning out—and who are ready to build a business aligned with joy, purpose, and long-term fulfillment.
