SPECIAL EPISODE: The difference between a pitbull and a "Hans" is that eventually a pitbull will let go!  The Madness is both my greatest asset and my greatest liability.  It is the curse that allows me to insanely focus on and achieve goals while allowing EVERYTHING else to fade away.  As you can imagine this is the proverbial double edged sword.   Over the years I have become aware of the benefits and challenges fo the Madness and am always looking for ways to harness its time positive benefits while mitigating the negative.  This episode is a test format of just me and the microphone sharing some insights of how I think differently.

I'd love to hear from you and your thoughts on this weeks episode and format.  Drop me a line at [email protected] or DM on Instagram or Facebook.  THANK YOU for listening!

Talking to Emily Drake is like getting a warm hug over the internet.  She is the owner and lead facilitator of the Collective Academy and truly thinks differently about the work it takes to become the best version of yourself. Emily works with leaders and teams from some of the world's largest companies to optimize their work but it often results in deep learning about themselves (and often time tears)!  This episode is deep and emotional.  

Some of my favorite quotes from the episode include :"never waste a good crisis", "from our pain comes our work", "we are only as sick as our secrets", "the antidote to uncertainty is self certainty" and "what am i great at, what am i driving toward and what do i want to become?".  Seriously, if that doesn't reel you in you need a pulse check!

Emily Drake thinks differently about the role of the individual.
