How do you know when it’s time to cut bait? Wether a dream job, heartfelt project, or a company you created, it takes guts to say goodbye. In this episode, we will talk to author and City Planner Ryan Gravel about how he walked away (multiple times) from his brainchild, the Atlanta Beltline.

Why is it so hard for us to unplug? Is it FOMO, work loads, or deadlines that fool us into seeing rest as an optional “nice to do”? We are going to talk to Creative Director, and agency-owner, José Reyes about the courage required to press pause, gain perspective, and rejuvenate our creative souls.

Let’s be honest, there can be a real terror in telling the truth. We all know it is the right thing to do, but can we be too honest? When is the right time? How should we do it? And what if it hurts a co-workers feelings or gets you fired?! In this conversation, we learn from the Brutally Honest creative business consultant and author Emily Cohen on how to be tough truth tellers. 

Next stop: Braintown. In this episode, we are going to nerd-out on neurology with Dr. Jerome Lubbe. As a leading functional neurologist, he is going to help us better understand what's really happening when we freak out over a deadline, client meeting, or office conflict. Want to learn more about Dr. Lubbe?

What's even scarier than death? You guessed it: speaking to a room full of strangers. In this episode we are going to learn from author and speaker extraordinaire Sam Harrison to help us pacify our panic.
