Listen Later

If you're the kind of leader who is "on" all the time — even on vacation — this episode is for you.

In today's lesson, Sophia Matveeva shares a practical, honest approach to taking time off without pretending you'll fully unplug.

Because when you're in charge, not checking work emails is often a pipe dream.

Listen to this episode to learn:

  • Why inner peace isn't realistic for early-stage founders

  • How to structure your break without lying to yourself

  • The one rule you must follow if you get a great idea mid-vacation

  • Why learning to trust your team now will set you up to scale

  • How to use downtime to spot blind spots and reset your strategy

Whether you're heading to the beach or just trying to unplug for a weekend, this is your guide to making rest work for your ambitious brain.
