409: Break Free From Daily Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life with Nataly Kogan

by

Today’s guest is someone I’ve wanted to have on the show for several years now, ever since her first book was published back in 2018.

I’m talking about Nataly Kogan. She is a successful entrepreneur, highly sought-after keynote speaker, and founder and CEO at Happier Inc., a company that has helped more than one million people live happier lives.

Life is messy and full of challenges, Nataly asserts. That’s part of being human after all. But the struggle, anxiety, and burnout that so often come with these experiences are optional. Can I get an “Amen”?

In her new book – out today – called The Awesome Human Project: Break Free From Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life, she teaches you how to create a more supportive relationship with yourself, with your thoughts and emotions, and with other people, so you can become the awesome human you’re meant to be.

408: How to Lead a Life of Significance by Embracing Your Trials with Warwick Fairfax

by

I have so much respect for today’s guest. Most people, especially at age 29, would have crumbled under the weight of losing control of their family’s one-hundred-fifty-year-old company.

Not Warwick Fairfax. Now, that’s not to say what he went through wasn’t incredibly difficult. It certainly was.

But Warwick is not your average guy. Now 30+ years removed from the crucible that situation was for him, he’s sharing what he learned about this process with the rest of us.

Before you think, “What do I possibly have in common with a man who once ran a $700MM company?”, let me ask you: Have you ever experienced an event that devastated you? I know I have. Several in fact.

What matters for those of us who find ourselves in that situation is how we choose to respond. Warwick’s new book, Crucible Leadership: Embrace Your Trials to Lead a Life of Significance will show you the way.

406: A Cure for Anxiety From Former Anxiety-Ridden Workaholic Charlie Hoehn

by

Today, I am excited to introduce to you an author I’ve just recently met, but who has written at least five books so far.

I’m especially thankful to former guest Honoree Corder who put him on my radar. Thank you, Honoree!

charlie hoehn

His name is Charlie Hoehn and he describes himself (among other things) as a former, anxiety-ridden workaholic. Case in point: he’s a guy who once worked 90+ hours on just six hours of sleep. Yikes!

Charlie and I spend most of our time today chatting about his book Play It Away: A Workaholic’s Cure for Anxiety.

We also get into his work helping Tim Ferriss launch his follow-up to The Four-Hour Work Week, and how he was able to gain the attention of some of his biggest heroes.

405: How the Power of Pace Can Help Your Organization Achieve All-New Levels with Elizabeth Knox

by

Work well and live well. That is a great tagline.

It just happens to be the tagline for a consulting firm called MatchPace, founded by Elizabeth Knox. Elizabeth, thanks to an introduction by my friend Lisa Lewis, is my guest on the podcast today.

Elizabeth’s mission is to give organizational leaders and their teams strategies to transform their workplaces so everyone can work well and live well (see, there’s that tagline).

The key to effective and satisfying work, she says, is finding a sustainable pace. Without it, we all suffer from a lack of focus, burnout, and high turnover.

Elizabeth, after years of helping organizations reimagine their workday, details her experiences in her new book and offers data-driven strategies to help you discover a pace that empowers both your organization and your employees to succeed.

That new book is called Work Reimagined: How the Power of Pace Can Help Your Organization Achieve a New Level of Focus, Engagement, and Satisfaction.
