Mentorship, Faith, and the Power of Authentic Connection with Markus Kaulius

Could your next breakthrough come not from working harder—but from surrendering control?

In this episode, Kevin speaks with entrepreneur and bestselling author Markus Kaulius, who shares his transformative journey from scaling a $170M supplement business to exiting it and stepping into a new life of listening, faith, and mentorship. Markus opens up about the internal reckoning that comes after achieving massive financial success and why fulfillment often lies beyond the metrics we chase. He also explores how realignment with God, authentic relationships, and focusing on “10 out of 10” experiences lead to deeper joy and purpose. This conversation moves beyond business to the heart of identity, legacy, and divine calling.
