Success and Other Lies

Should I get a degree? Should I not get a degree? Does it have to be a fancy business school? On this episode we talk about how important it is to identify your own "Why", about the burden of choice and explore why it is so hard to forge your own path amongst the career paths that we see laid out in front of us.

"Hair is just hair" – or at least that's how it should be in our opinion. On this week's episode we discuss whether or not your surroundings should be allowed to comment on a radical haircut, or care about the hoodie you decided to wear to work today. Find out how we have been influenced in our hair style choices in the past – and why outer appearance sadly still is a relevant topic on a podcast about authentic success and finding your own path.

Our very first interview episode on Success and Other Lies features Nepalese disaster risk management professional Amin Shakya.

On this episode we discuss why it is so important that we don’t postpone our personal life and relaxation to weekends and vacation. Lucie goes on a rant about people who pretend they can be productive during 80+ hour workweeks. No more glorification of being the first and last in the office! And Bini shares some great tips and hacks that we can all include into our busy work days to allow for mini-vacation-moments that will sustain a healthy, happy and successful life in the long run.

Please share your tips and opinions with us - and do let us know if you know someone who is a leader at prioritizing rest and recuperation in order to sustain wellbeing and productivity.

"The perfect storm is an exhilarating experience where the stakes are high and everything happens at once. Where I have to grow beyond what I believe I can do and deliver, deliver, deliver" – in this episode Lucie shares one of her most personal (and probably most entertaining) stories yet. If you are curious about how it is like to juggle life between three continents and why success sometimes just means not shying away from a perfect storm, then this episode is for you.

In this episode we talk about the many times we have been ashamed of our failures and – even worse – of our successes. No more! We believe shame is the least productive emotion and pledge to waste no more time on it. Will you join us?

In this episode we share experiences where other's opinions almost held us back from going off the beaten path, and trying out new things in our career and life planning. We talk about the dangers of listening to unsolicited or unqualified advice, and how easy it is to be unwillingly complicit in discouraging others.

In this episode we talk about the anxiety many face when it comes to public speaking. We chat about the pressure we put on ourselves and how stripping away the expectations of perfection has really helped us be authentically successful at public speaking.

We are Bini and Lucie – and we are excited to introduce our new podcast 'Success and other lies'.

We believe Success is not a one way road and we believe that it is dangerous to buy into the notion that success is only one thing.

The business world is full of shiny promises and with '10 simple steps to success' guides. So: We are not here to tell you what to do - we are here to show you options you may have available to you, and provide inspiration for you to choose your own path to authentic success. 

We are here to share with you which roads we’ve already taken and where they led us, to interview exciting guests, and to bring more authenticity into the ‘success’ world.
