Attaching your self-worth to your achievements.

Struggling with insecurity when admitting that you want to do “your own thing.”

Ever struggled with these things? I have! Our guest this week not only shares with us the importance of young professionals and entrepreneurs to build a platform on LinkedIn but also digs into his own story of stepping away from the 9-5 and going down an unconventional path.

After spending a few years working at technology startups and larger companies like LinkedIn, Hayden realized he'd been living his life for other people, doing the "smart thing" and the "right thing", instead of what spoke to his soul. In 2017, he decided to venture off on his own. He now works in the personal development space, empowering people to redefine what's possible, step into their unique power, and a life a joy-filled life on their own terms.

Hayden is an avid improv enthusiast and currently lives in Chicago, IL. You can find out more about him on his website: www.HaydenHumphrey.com

Topics Discussed:

Separating our sense of worth from achievement. How to balance self-esteem and work ethic. Leaving the “professional” world for the world of entrepreneurship. Premature optimization. How to grow your LinkedIn network (and why you should!)
