Summary

Today, we’re really excited to share the 8th installment of our Ask Me Anything (AMA) series.

The ever-insightful and entertaining O’Neil Cespedes is back to co-host this month’s AMA and – per usual – we have some fun diving into your questions. On this episode, we chat about:  

  • What to do if you’re feeling burnt out and overworked
  • Grappling with the need to prove yourself to others 
  • How to build culture and hire appropriately
  • The difference between high performance and mastery
  • Feeling like you’re “behind” in life
  • And, one question to chew on… Are you a thermostat? Or a thermometer?
