The Show That Guides You To Rise Lead And Last

One Part Lamb is the podcast for founder-led builders who are done choosing between the win and the life. Every week, Stephen Scoggins sits down for the kind of honest conversation most leaders only have with themselves at 2am, about how to build something that lasts without losing yourself in the process.

Why this show exists

Most business podcasts hand you another tactic. This one goes after the thing underneath the tactics, which is the leader. You cannot scale dysfunction. The fastest-growing company in the world will still cost you your marriage, your health, or your peace if the person running it is quietly coming apart.

Stephen has lived on both sides of that. From being homeless at nineteen to building a company to upwards of nine figures, he learned the hard way that income and fulfillment always follow alignment. That one truth is the throughline of every episode.

What you'll hear

Real talk on scaling without burning out. Stewarding your money and your people well. Holding your faith and your family together while the business grows. It is strength and surrender in the same leader, which is where the name comes from. One part lion, the conviction to lead and decide. One part lamb, the humility to let go of what was never yours to carry.

And you will hear it from people who have actually walked it. Guests like Ed Mylett, Evan Carmichael, and Amy Porterfield, alongside builders straight out of the trenches: a founder who grew a multi-seven-figure company while fighting cancer twice, a husband and wife who scaled a real estate empire without wrecking their marriage, and unguarded conversations about generational wealth, the nervous system that actually runs your performance, and the kind of soul burnout that hides behind a win.

No hype. No highlight reel. Just the truth, told plainly, and a next step you can actually use.
