ABOUT THE PODCAST

You were built for speed.
But right now you feel slower than you look on paper.
Most founders try to outwork that slow-down.
It only burns them out.
Your mind is the only machine your company doesn’t upgrade.
So leaders keep pushing against the wrong thing.
Hosted by doctor of psychology and executive coach Dr Yishai Barkhordari.
