Shownotes

Three months since my last solo episode and I’m back.

In this one I share a personal update, what I’ve been noticing with founders lately, and something I’ve been building quietly behind the scenes that I’m excited to finally talk about.

We dive into the difference between healing and capacity, two things most people confuse.

Healing clears the past.

Capacity determines how much you can hold moving forward.

I also share why many founders burn out, what AI might be doing to our creativity and intuition, and why emotional fitness may be the most important skill a leader can develop.

At the end of the episode I introduce something new I'm launching: The Emotional Fitness Club.
