    Surviving a Corporate Buyout Nightmare | Jodi Scott

    Real resilience isn’t just about "doing"—it’s about finding the strength to "be" when your world stops spinning. This week, Jodi Scott, founder of Green Goo, joins Leron to reveal how she navigated a catastrophic corporate buyout, a federal investigation, and the 24-hour termination of her entire family team to eventually buy her company back.

    • The Cracked Door: Jodi and her sister saw a gap in the market for plant-based first aid that actually worked. By combining health psychology and herbalism, they scaled from a home kitchen production line to 150,000 points of distribution in major retailers like Walmart and CVS.

    • The Functional Freeze: After a strategic buyout designed for growth, the dream turned into a nightmare. Within 24 hours, a parent company’s legal crisis forced Jodi to terminate her entire staff, including her parents, sister, and husband. This moment of total professional paralysis required a complete mental shift to survive.

    • The New Muscle: Jodi shares her "Mental Fitness Boot Camp"—the practice of setting a clock every three hours for 30-second presence exercises. This discipline broke the cycle of fight-or-flight, allowing her to lead with clarity and execute a complex 18-month buyback of her brand.
