P.S. Younger Self

In this month's P.S. Younger Self x Hub Dot's monthly collaboration series, we spoke with Dr. Russ Kennedy who is a neuroscientist, medical doctor and now also an author of the book Anxiety Rx. AKA The Anxiety MD. His passion is to help people recover from anxiety as he too has struggled with chronic anxiety since childhood and he believes anxiety can help you rather than cripple you. 

His game-changing approach to managing anxiety starts with debunking the myth that anxiety is in the mind. Rather he profoundly speaks about how our anxiety stems from old energy from unresolved childhood trauma that is triggering an alarm in our body. And unless we understand and get to that root cause of our trauma, we will continue to let anxiety cripple us. 

We all deal with anxiety to some degree so this episode is for everyone and anyone. You'll learn more from Dr. Russ about: 

• Understanding how and why anxiety is rooted in our body vs. our mind. 
• How to identify and localize the alarm in our body that is triggering our anxiety and where the root cause is of our anxiety. 
• What the alarm really means as it relates to your childhood trauma and how you should address it.
• How our mind is a meaning making machine and will compulsively want to add thoughts to our alarm in the body. 
• The two different ways fears are processed in our brain. 
• How to use the body to heal the mind.  
• How and why you must see your innocence to start healing from your past. 
• Understanding social engagement system as it relates to building connections and soothe ourselves. 
• Why children today have more anxiety than ever.

What would you do if you were at the height of your entrepreneurial career and overnight you were wrongfully accused of fraud and get put on Interpol's most wanted list?!

This is not your ordinary hero's journey of a successful entrepreneur. Growing up with humble beginnings in a small leafy town in Poland, Marek Zmyslowski found early success as an entrepreneur in various industries, which later took him to Africa where he focused on online businesses and renewable energy. He built Jumia Travel - Africa's biggest hotel booking portal listed on the NYSE. (Side note, he's a multiple times Tedx Speaker. One of his talks has garnered more than 1.8MM views). His fast-growing success made him some enemies, which led him to be victim of stereotypes and overnight put him on Interpol's most wanted list. 

He shares part of his gripping story of how unlawfully and wrongfully being accused turned a terrifying experience into the biggest test of his character, mental strength and resilience to overcome unfathomable adversity. Marek's hollywood-movie-like personal story (which was turned into a book called Chasing Black Unicorns) will hook you, but his humility and lessons in mental resilience will inspire you, even if you're not an entreprenuer. 

You'll learn:  

• How a Polish boy with humble beginnings ended up becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Africa (who now also operates a foundation to help underprivileged children in Africa) 
• How to take risks in business and have with with them! 
• Understanding that knowledge is not valuable until you can turn them into the right habits
• How to turn knowledge into the right habits 
• How falling victim to stereotypes put Marek on Interpol's most wanted list and how he proved he was unlawfully and wrongfully accused 
• The power of visualization, not just the good, but also in visualizing the worst-case scenerio and what you can learn from it 
• How to reset your mindset from wanting revenge to being grateful of your tragedy 
• His definition of happiness and fulfillment

Have you ever thought about the difference between objective truth vs. narrative truth? 
In this episode, our host Chris Oh shares her thoughts and why she doesn't think in absolute truths anymore. 

We, individually, make up our own subjective truths based on our interpretations, values, beliefs and morals. These are our own illusions of reality as our versions of narrative truths. Not like the objective truth, which can be proven true by data, science or history. 

So which truth matters? Hear more from Chris on the difference between objective truth and narrative truth and what really matters.

Overall morale and empowerment has dropped really low recently in our current climate where we've been forced to stay indoors most of the time, devoid of IRL human interaction. Not to mention job burnout being exacerbated by the pandemic. 

So how can strong leaders like you leverage one of the most important traits of a great leader during these unique times (and beyond) to empower others, which will help others recognize their own potential and strengths?

In this episode, our host Chris Oh talks to Leadership Coach and Myers-Briggs Certified Practitioner and ClitonStrengths Coach Chelsea Winer on how  we can boost morale and better understand our relationship dynamics in our  work environments through empowerment. We look at the five ways Chelsea outlines how we can empower others to also empower ourself. They are:

1. Get to know yourself and your teams
2. Help your team with smart(er) goal setting
3. Lead by example and be adaptable
4. Help others find their passion and strengths
5. Continue to learn and share the knowledge
