💭 What happens when logic meets emotion?

Can empathy, intuition, and analysis really work together - or are they destined to clash?

In this week’s episode of Simz Serotonin, I sit down with Toby Clarke, a maths mind with a philosopher’s heart, to explore how thinking deeply can transform the way we lead, decide, and connect.Here’s what we dive into 👇

🔹 Where does philosophy meet maths? Exploring how logic and emotion intertwine - and why both are essential to clear thinking.

🔹 How can empathy redefine leadership? Understanding how diverse perspectives lead to stronger, more inclusive environments

🔹 Gut feelings vs. data - which should you trust? The art of balancing intuition with objectivity in decision-making.

🎙️ Tune in - this one will challenge how you think, feel, and lead

What has shaped the person you've become today? Your environment, experiences, or how you handle rejection?

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Esther and Jonathon – two wonderful BDR Interns at Adobe — to unpack:

🎙 New Episode Drop: Let’s Meet Ernest – The Challenger of Thoughts

At 14 years old, Ernest was cold-messaging coaches on LinkedIn. Today, he’s an Inside Sales Representative at Adobe who still questions everything—from the meaning of success to the word “priorities” (fun fact: it was originally singular!).

In this episode of Simz Sserootnin, Ernest and I explore:

✅ Why choosing the butterflies you chase matters more than chasing them all.

✅ The paradox of productivity: why being busy often makes you more effective than having endless free time.

✅ Planning vs. execution: how emotions hijack your decisions and why planning ahead is your shield.

We even challenge the idea of true education and whether your degree should really be your top priority at university.

Ernest doesn’t just answer questions—he challenges your thinking. If you’re ready to rethink success, priorities, and progress, this episode is for you.

💬 After listening, tell me: What’s ONE habit you’re tracking right now?

What if a crisis could be the catalyst for discovering your true calling?

Join me as we delve into the transformative journey of Etienne SOUMOY, founder of Etienne Soumoy Coaching and a business architect in Adobe's Strategic Partnerships Program Team.

From his journey as a dedicated father to becoming a certified coach - starting from the global financial crisis- Etienne's story is one of passion and perseverance.

Snippets of Serotonin from today's chat:

💡 Why we're all entrepreneurs - entrepreneurship is a mindset, not just a career path.

🎤 How emotion is the game-changer in understanding our behaviours, and guiding us to those "lightbulb moments" that accelerate personal growth.

🤔 How self-discovery and surprising questions can reveal if what you’re chasing is truly what you want.

Etienne's story is a testament to the power of self-discovery and resilience. Don't miss this chance to gain insights that could change your perspective.

Ever wondered what a chat between an Intern and the SVP of Go-to-Market and Sales at Adobe sounds like?

Claire Darley has inspired me ever since I met her and i'm so excited to bring her on as a guest, as she shares her journey from a small town in Scunthorpe to leading at Adobe. From discussing meal-delivery services (Gustos vs Simmer eats) to Professional Development - Claire has been a core character in my Adobe journey.

Here are some snippets from today's conversation

- Public Speaking and Power Posing before Claire's presentation at the House of Commons!

- Why you need to be vulnerable to be successful

- Starting from scratch in today's digital age

“Vulnerability is on the other side of being brave. Every time you put yourself out there, you have to be prepared to fail. If you’re not prepared to be vulnerable, you’ll never really be successful”

I hope this spreads serotonin, just as my chats with Claire always do.
