In this moment, professor of marketing and best-selling author, Adam Alter discusses how to become unstuck in life, work and relationships. The first thing is to understand what it actually means to become stuck, this often means judging whether to keep going with a particular path or to quit. In these instances Adam thinks it is best to think about the opportunity cost of leaving a goal behind, especially as research shows that it is nearly always a good idea to keep going beyond the point where it starts becoming hard as this is where growth happens. However, too often we quit as we view any sort of difficultly as a problem. One of the key ways that Adam thinks we can become unstuck is by simplifying a problem as much as possible, we can do this through what he calls a friction audit. This means knowing what is and isn’t important, what’s getting in the way, and how you can subtract it.Listen to the full episode here - https://g2ul0.app.link/GZHEMyQyMEbWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosJames: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMb0O2CdPBNi-QqPk5T3gsQhttps://www.jameshoffmann.co.uk/Learn more about your ad choices.

In this moment, bestselling poet and author, Yung Pueblo discusses his mission in raising self-awareness and making people realise that healing is possible. When he was younger he believed that if you were sick mentally it was just something you had to deal with for life, however by radically changing himself through meditation and a different environment, he realised that healing is necessary to living a better life. Over time the difficult moments in our past build up in our mind, and we repeat cycles of thought and behaviour, healing allows us the freedom to escape this. However, Yung Pueblo believes the biggest challenge is that people doubt their own power and don’t understand their capacity, distracting themselves from their emotions. Instead we need to sit and embrace these difficult emotions that make us feel uncomfortable and be radically honest with ourself.Listen to the full episode here - https://g2ul0.app.link/3CxFf11KAEbWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosYung Pueblo:https://www.instagram.com/yung_pueblo/?hl=enhttps://yungpueblo.com/aboutLearn more about your ad choices.
