EP158: A Solid Place To Stand


Listen Later

In this episode of Under the Noise, Wyn Morgan and Kate Roberts are joined by Don Donovan, a transformative leader who shares how understanding the power of state of mind reshaped both his company and his personal life. Don explores how shifting focus from purely technical skills to the deeper, often unseen qualities—like confidence, presence, and emotional resilience—unlocked lasting improvements in performance, creativity, and connection.

He also shares personal insights on balancing work and life, moving beyond burnout, and embracing the unknown with courage and humility. This conversation is a powerful reminder that real transformation begins within—and that true potential emerges when we learn to quiet the internal noise.
