Episode Title: There’s a Different Devil at Every Level

Episode Overview:

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about growth — it’s about turbulence.

In this episode, JuJuan Buford breaks down a hard truth most founders aren’t prepared for:

If you’re leveling up, expect resistance.

Expect criticism.Expect competitors to get louder.Expect relationships to shift.Expect systems to break under new pressure.Expect your appetites to change.

The higher you climb, the more fuel you burn — and the more the plane shakes.

That’s not failure.

That’s ascent.

What We Cover:

✦ Why success attracts opposition✦ Why scaling introduces new devils at every financial level✦ How envy and jealousy are economic signals, not personal attacks✦ Why your old frameworks won’t carry you into new altitude✦ How evolving appetites can disrupt relationships✦ Why turbulence is proof you’re climbing

If nobody is reacting to your growth, you may not be growing.

This conversation is for builders — not influencers.For operators — not spectators.

Practical Perspective:

Treat turbulence as a metric, not a malfunction.

• When systems strain, upgrade them.• When talent misaligns, refine leadership.• When critics get louder, assess your altitude.• When discomfort rises, examine whether you're climbing.

Every financial tier has a different devil.

Five to six figures? Different problems.Six to seven? New pressures.Seven and beyond? Entirely different battlefield.

Expect it — so it doesn’t distract you.
