I boss, you boss, we boss
I’ve been listening to “How I built this” that gives insights, anecdotes and founder stories. Everyone knows the Uber, Airbnb and Toms but although they’re definitely aspirational, it just hits closer to home when I hear a woman talk about building out her passion and grinding her way thru success. So this week I present to…

Positive thinking won’t get you there
A quick one as I need to go in 5 minutes. I listened to the Happiness Lab again – this time Dr Laurie Santos mentions that all self-help gurus accentuate the fact that we need to think positive, in order for us to achieve our greatest outcomes. Through her research and interviews, it seems tho…

Happiness silver linings and silver medallists who die earlier
I stumbled upon Dr. Laurie Santos’ podcast through Jay Shetty – she’s a professor of psychology and head of Silliman College at Yale University. Her podcast series is a scientific approach to happiness and our pursuit of it. In this episode, she discusses reference points, and how they define your happiness. She discussed how Olympic…

Gary Vaynerchuck on personal branding, content and Asian opportunities
I’m not a big fan of Gary, I feel he has a big ego and sometimes just states things to state things. But I listened to this podcast and I quite liked it – his point of view on the Asian market makes sense (to a certain extent, costs on the channels he mentions are…

Jordan Peterson on smart goals and why I shouldn’t compare myself to BeyoncΓ© and Musk
I’ve been listening to Jordan Peterson lately, he’s got a very amicable and engaged way of presenting himself and elaborating on his topics while keeping his audience engaged (I’m engaged at least). Whatever he’s talking about – he’ll talk about it with 200% conviction and engagement. I’m one of those suckers that believe people when…

The tricks we need to play..
to follow our heart..Β maybe not necessarily tricks, but rather “listening to that little voice”. Because that little voice will always have centre of truth. Inspiring again, and motivating in a way as well. I liked the part where talks about trying to conform to what his parents desire and hope (only with the earnest…
