In a North American 2020 study, 75% of employees reported that their immediate superior is the most stressful part of their job.

And another 2020 study, 76% of employees described their boss as toxic.

How many studies do we have to see what a majority of leadership styles today aren't working?

Poor leadership practices never start with one person. Bad practices snowball after years of being afraid of other leaders with the same traits, or assuming that being tough is the only way to alleviate stress and pressure.

Unfortunately, it has the opposite effect.

Being a leader today is HARD. And the only remedy is to see the scary stuff in ourselves we don't like and be kind and productive about what we want to change in ourselves.

How do you create a legacy you'll be proud of at the end of every day? And where do you start?

There is much hype around entrepreneurship.
It's nearly impossible to consume social media without someone promoting a "side hustle." Many people try to convince you that it answers all your problems. However, entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. It's not even appropriate for most people. If you're thinking about starting your own business, you must ask yourself some tough questions and be honest.

The truth is that entrepreneurship is hard. It's not all about making money and being a boss. There are many sacrifices that you have to make, and it can be very stressful. If you're not prepared to take on more stress in your life, then entrepreneurship isn't for you. You need to be able to embrace stress and work long hours if you want to be successful.

In this episode, I share a few questions you should ask yourself before leaping.
