Owen Smith was delighted to see I'd discovered and had begun using Stoicism teachings to improve my mental health and creativity. He told me so, and we hopped on a call to talk about getting active in your own rescue and the exhilarating feeling of being the author of the career you want to live.
We cover:
- Responding, not reacting
- Recognising what you can impact
- Being the author of your next chapters
- The upsides of shitty situations life throws our way
