Sales as a Calling vs. a Hustle: Finding Your Real Why with Ben Gay III and Denise Griffitts

Welcome to The Closers Inner Circle Podcast with Ben Gay III and Denise Griffitts, where we go beyond surface-level tactics and dive deep into what truly drives long-term success in sales and leadership.

In today’s episode, we’re asking a question that every true closer must answer for themselves: What’s my real why? Is sales just a hustle to get through the month, or is it a calling that demands your best thinking, habits, and purpose?

We’ll explore the mindset shifts and daily disciplines that separate the burned-out from the fulfilled, and the transactional from the transformational. This conversation is about self-mastery, internal alignment, and building a business that reflects your values—not just your quotas.

If you’ve ever paused to reflect on what’s really driving you in this business, this conversation will help you reconnect with your purpose and move forward with greater clarity.

SPONSORED BY: What’s Right with America! by Paul Johnson and Larry Aldrich.
This powerful book offers a refreshing break from the negativity in today’s headlines. Johnson and Aldrich—leaders with deep experience in government, business, and media—don’t ignore America’s flaws. But they refuse to let those flaws define us.

Instead, they shine a light on the courage, innovation, generosity, and grit that have shaped this nation. They remind us how liberty, free enterprise, and democratic values have empowered generations of Americans to solve problems and build a better future.

And I have to say, I really love and appreciate this book. It’s inspiring, thoughtful, and deeply needed right now.

The book is available now on Amazon
