Unlock Entrepreneurial Success: How Stoicism Can Supercharge Your Business and Brand

Young Boss with Isabelle Guarino

How can Stoicism lift somebody out of depression and into greatness? This week I sat down with Zach Fisher of New Reach Education.

We dive into the lonely and heartless world of sales, business agility, and the mental resilience required to succeed. Starting as a door-to-door salesman, Zach learned the art of perseverance, building tight bonds with his colleagues through trauma bonding, and ultimately how to handle rejection. His transition to in-home sales, where he focused on closing deals in a single call, sharpened his skills even further.

However, after subjecting himself to too many ‘on-call’ weekends and having experienced a plentiful amount of rejection, Zach turned to family. It was Zach’s time to change his life. And as it often is with family, it was his brother—a "legend" in the infospace—who opened the door to this world, but it was Zach who made it his own through hard work and strategy.

As a key figure at New Reach Education, Zach plays an important role in shaping the company’s marketing, fulfillment, and community initiatives. He emphasizes how partnering with people who share your vision and values is critical to achieving success. But it’s not just about building the right team—it’s about staying agile. Zach warns against becoming too rigid, highlighting the need to balance structure with flexibility to keep your business innovative and responsive to change.

Zach also shares with us how he finds joy amongst the chaos. Whether it’s pushing forward through uncertainty or mastering profit and loss statements, he believes success lies in focusing on what you can control. His business philosophy? Find partners that complement your strengths, don’t be afraid to make bold moves, and keep a close eye on your finances.

A believer in Stoicism, Zach also discusses with us how this ancient philosophy has been his superpower as an entrepreneur, helping him overcome challenges and take control of his mindset. If you’re looking for actionable strategies to grow your business or ways to harness Stoic principles for entrepreneurial success, you won’t want to miss this episode.
