Humans are complex. But understanding ourselves and others is an essential part of human flourishing. When we don’t engage with our emotions and the emotions of others in a healthy way, we can develop unhealthy patterns of controlling others, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and more. As a result, we don’t show up as our best selves in our personal or professional lives.

Customer Reviews
Small business Bestie
This is hands-down, one of the best business podcast out there! I find myself pausing every episode to complete an action, take notes record something because everything that is shared is a suggestion or strategy you can take action on. This show has helped me get clear on my goals, my mission, and my vision for my small business. Thank you for this content!
Knowledge
It’s hard to believe in the knowledge of this podcaster when he defines EBITDA, arguably one of the most basic financial buyout terms, completely wrong. And not only wrong, but dangerously wrong if you acted using his definition.
Well done!
Don has been at the forefront of biz and marketing thought since he decided to dive in.
