Episodes
  • The Nuanced No
    Mar 15 2024
    Started slow, but with audience participation in both Clubhouse and Discord, there were some super strong insights and conversation around Mindset, Prioritization and Focus! This was episode 181 of our week-daily virtual coffee, which takes place in Konktown’s discord server: discord.gg/konktown and Clubhouse’s Startup Club House from 8-9am EST. It's free and open to anyone from anywhere in the world. Some key highlights from the last 30 minutes of the transcript include: Discussing the concept of living in "crescendo", where one chooses to embrace open opportunities and live in the present, rather than dwelling on past accomplishments or fearing the future. Emphasizing the importance of making a conscious choice to prioritize the best days ahead, rather than dwelling on the past. Encouraging reflection on one's path and journey, and questioning whether one's best days are ahead or behind them. Highlighting the importance of evaluating quality based on meaningful connections rather than superficial ones or quantity of connections. Sharing insights on developing a "nuanced no" approach and considering one's lifeforce when deciding whether to take on new opportunities or say no. Show notes based on our discussion (as per Otter.ai's beta tool): Using AI tools and building community. (1:29) Mastering stories and improving communication. (6:19) Living in crescendo vs. me endo.
