01-04-2026Entrepreneurs: How to Build Success without Burning Out with Saahil Mehta + Others, Episode #280


Our Featured Guest For Sunday, January 4, 2026 Is Saahil Mehta

Saahil Mehta is an Entrepreneur, Success Coach, Author and Keynote Speaker dedicated to helping ambitious leaders and entrepreneurs scale their success without sacrificing their health, relationships, or inner peace. His approach to conscious leadership encourages individuals to redefine what achievement means, shifting from constant striving to intentional, fulfilling progress. He supports founders, CXOs, and next-generation entrepreneurs through moments of transition, pressure, and uncertainty, helping them move from overwhelm toward clarity, direction, and sustainable performance. His core belief: the journey should strengthen you, not exhaust you.

Over the years, Saahil has coached and spoken at organizations including HP, Dell, Bank of America, P&G, 24×7.ai, Petrochem, Summit Capital, Tata Group, Thomas Cook, TiE, EO, and YPO. As a member of Dr. Marshall Goldsmith’s 100 Coaches, he contributes to a global movement focused on clarity, purpose, and sustainable growth.

His coaching philosophy is drawn from lived experience. As a mountaineer, Saahil has climbed iconic peaks such as Kala Patthar (5,644m), Mount Elbrus (5,642m), Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m), Chopicalqui (6,354m), and Pico de Orizaba (5,636m). The silence, space, and inner confrontation the mountains required shaped his approach to leadership: endurance, resilience, preparation, mindfulness, and choosing challenges that strengthen rather than deplete. 

Saahil’s coaching blends his Break Free system with lessons from mountaineering, conscious communication, and Marshall Goldsmith’s Stakeholder Centered Leadership to help leaders operate with clarity, purpose, and peace of mind. Balancing businesses across continents, family, and personal passions taught Saahil firsthand the pressures ambitious leaders face. These experiences shaped his belief that true success is holistic—climbing your summits faster while staying healthy and nurturing meaningful relationships. 

ResNet World: Saahil is the co-founder of ResNet World, which provides online presence and e-distribution services to partner hotels worldwide. With headquarters in Dubai, the company supports hoteliers in maximizing global visibility and navigating today’s maze of technology-driven solutions. Created by hoteliers for hoteliers, ResNet World focuses on simplifying operations, leveraging e-distribution tools effectively, and driving revenue through result-driven digital strategies.

Saahil’s Personal Journey Philosophy & Purpose: A mantra that has guided Saahil for decades is: “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it.” This quote became his anchor in 2002 when he completed the London Marathon despite injuries and doubt. That race sparked an internal shift and led him to his first Himalayan summit, Kala Patthar, in 2010. From there, he and his wife committed to a life of purposeful adventure, summiting peaks including Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Elbrus, Chopicalqui in Peru, and Pico de Orizaba in Mexico. Each mountain taught him lessons on resilience, self-belief, endurance, preparation, and the power of choosing challenges that strengthen rather than deplete.

These experiences revealed that the struggles he faced on the mountains mirrored what many leaders face internally—overwhelm, self-doubt, and fear of failure. Encouraged by those who had followed his journey, Saahil began sharing his insights with others, first through his book Break Free and later through global speaking engagements. Writing and speaking opened the door to a deeper purpose: transforming inspiration into real, lasting impact.

This purpose ultimately led Saahil to coaching, where he creates the space for leaders to see clearly, make aligned decisions, and step into lives filled with meaning, achievement, and inner peace. His mission is to empower leaders to shift from “Why?” to “Why not?”, unlocking a life of clarity, confidence, and zero regrets. He invites each person he works with to consider one essential question: What is the next summit that awaits you? Read more at: https://www.saahilmehta.com/

He’s also the bestselling author of Launch Big: The Complete Digital Marketing Guide for Church Planters. Brady earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from Dallas Baptist University and his Associate Degree in Practical Theology from Christ for the Nations Institute. He got his start in marketing at age 18 in his family’s business, while also serving as a youth pastor on Sundays.

Blending Ministry & Marketing: With a background in both marketing and theology, Brady has a unique perspective on designing modern, social-media-friendly, cutting-edge video marketing campaigns that attract new church visitors and even build new church congregations from the ground up. He began blending ministry and marketing early on—before most people were thinking about ad funnels for Sunday services. While studying in school, he helped grow one of the top digital agencies in the chiropractic space—ChiroCandy Marketing—alongside his dad, Billy.

Brady and his wife, Sara, later moved to The Woodlands, TX to help plant Vibrant Church, where they served as Student Pastors. At the same time, Brady managed ad campaigns for over 300 clients and ran all of Vibrant’s Facebook ads pre-launch. Even during the pandemic, Vibrant consistently brought in 20–50 first-time guests every month through digital outreach alone.

Building ChurchCandy to Scale: This combination of ministry and marketing experience sparked something bigger. Brady built ChurchCandy to multiple seven figures in annual revenue by age twenty-five, and today the company works with 450+ churches across the U.S. and is now partnering internationally. To date, Brady has helped over 1,000 churches grow, connecting 280,000+ people to local churches across North America. His mission is clear: “We exist to connect 1,000,000 people to the local church. We believe the local church is God’s plan to reach the world—and we’re all in on helping churches grow, reach more people, and make a lasting Kingdom impact.”

His podcast, ChurchCandy with Brady Sticker, brings practical and motivational information designed to help you build a thriving ministry.
