The Cave You Fear to Enter Is Where Your Treasure Lies - Stephanie Bogan

Is the pursuit of professional excellence worth the cost of familial disconnect? Are we willing to sacrifice meaningful connections for career achievements?

Resilience emerges as the unsung hero when one grows up in a trailer park. The ability to endure pain, suffering, and discomfort becomes a unique skill set, especially when translated into business. As Stephanie emphasizes, grit becomes the defining factor in overcoming life's challenges. Yet, a poignant realization emerges: despite its strength, grit doesn't necessarily result in happiness.

Tune in to know why working harshly and extended hours for success is called into question, and the notion that the early bird catches the worm, echoed by high-profile figures like Elon Musk, is scrutinized, challenging the societal norms that equate success with sacrifice.
