In sharing his own unique and powerful insights, Scott points u...

In today’s episode, I speak with Chetna Bhatt, co-founder and CEO of Being Lawyers. A self-described perfectionist, Chetna worked incredibly long hours, worried habitually, and rarely said “no” to an ever-increasing workload.

Desperate to get better, Chetna tried everything from daily meditation and yoga, to EFT and affirmations, but her health wa...

In today’s conversation, I speak with Brough Johnson. As the co-founder and CEO of a startup, Brough has seen her fair share of roadblocks in business.

In today’s conversation, I speak with Kathleen Murphy. Kathleen was used to showing up in business with high energy, excitement, and enthusiasm. To her, this “intensity” never appeared to be a hindrance to her work, until she was able to take pause and look closer. Through understanding the principles of thought, she now sees that overexcitement is actually the result of a sped up mind, leading to mental distortion. Kathleen points to the indispensable value of neutrality as the source of clarit...

With this new understanding, Neil is able to make higher-quality, more sustainable decisions, and have connected ...

Today I speak with George McRae about an understanding that allows us to see business with a fresh perspective, again and again. George, who has worked in creative fields for 30 years, has always been excited by his work. This excitement, though, was coupled with a busy mind and a feeling that it was “all on him” to get things done. Since gaining a deeper understanding of the mind, George recognizes there is infinite wisdom and creativity on offer. By surrendering his “preloaded” conceptions and...

To Nicole Helprin, it used to look like overthinking and being extra-intentional were her superpowers, the tools that got her through each day.

In today’s conversation, Nicole shares what she’s learned since challenging these beliefs, and what she’s experienced since embracing an unknown future. She highlights what can happen when you remove “thinking” from th...

Today I speak with film producer, Michelle Raimo Kouyate, about her approach to keeping calm in an industry where chaos is the norm. As a producer, problem-solving and “putting out fires” is a large part of the job.
