April 21, 2022Episode 4-410: What Business Owners Need to SucceedAs a business advisor, I often see smart, creative and well-educated people ignore the essential requirements for building a successful business.

March 31, 2022Episode 4-426: Dealing with HatersAn email from the Daily Stoic reminded me that given how terrible most of the Roman emperors were, you might think that Marcus Aurelius was universally loved. Of course, this is not true. Plenty of people hated him, plenty of people thought they should be in charge and not him. (In fact, one of his best friends betrayed him in a terrible coup). It’s a given that all successful people attract haters. It’s not a matter of if, but when. That’s why you must prepare now rather than waiting until your first hater comes along …...more6minPlay

Ozan is a master of weaving interesting stories from real life to support better ways of thinking and working. In the example of his writing I’m about to share, he explains why it’s important to shut down your mind to be better at creating....more7minPlay
March 10, 2022Episode 4-424: About Emotional ExhaustionHerbert Freudenberger defined burnout in 1975 as emotional exhaustion, decreased sense of accomplishment, and depersonalization. Essentially, when we burn out, we’ve been caring too much for too long, seeing a lack of impact from our actions, and burning the empathy candle at both ends....more7minPlay
