  • When You Achieve All Your Goals, You Still Feel Empty? | Emma Steenson, Exited Founder

    When You Achieve All Your Goals, You Still Feel Empty? | Emma Steenson, Exited Founder
    Nov 4 2025

    We're taught that financial success and early retirement are the ultimate goals. But what happens when you achieve them and still feel empty? Why does having unlimited choices sometimes feel more paralyzing than liberating? Emma discovered that "doing too little can be just as draining as doing too much" - so what should we focus on instead?

    Emma Steenson is a property investor, former management consultant, and executive coach who experienced "accidental early retirement" in her mid-30s after selling her successful business. Despite achieving financial independence and reaching what seemed like her finish line, she found that remaining idle without purpose was unsatisfying and draining. This led her to redefine success and train as a coach focused on helping SME founders and business owners who feel stuck or unfulfilled despite external success. Emma's work centers on helping leaders realign their goals with their own values to create meaningful momentum.


    Today, expect to learn:

    • The unexpected challenges of achieving financial independence too early and the existential vacuum it can create.
    • Why "doing too little can be just as draining as doing too much" and what this means for our relationship with work and rest.
    • How the paradox of choice makes unlimited options feel paralyzing rather than liberating, and what to do about it.
    • The crucial difference between happiness (a fleeting emotion) and contentment (a deeper, more sustainable state).
    • Why tunnel vision toward goals can be both helpful and harmful, and how to develop better discernment.
    • How societal expectations and inherited models of success no longer fit our rapidly changing world.
    • The role of coaching and reflective conversations in helping people clarify what they truly want beyond external expectations.
    • Why letting go of finding "the one right answer" is essential for moving forward, even when it feels uncomfortable.
    • Practical strategies for self-coaching and using trusted friends as thinking partners when professional coaching isn't accessible.
    • How to redefine success through work-life integration, personal values alignment, and finding joy in daily moments rather than chasing abstract goals.
    • And more!


    Research shows that early retirement often requires restructuring life purpose, with many retirees experiencing the "retirement paradox" - dissatisfaction despite newfound freedom. The "paradox of choice" demonstrates how excessive options lead to anxiety and decision paralysis. Studies distinguish between momentary happiness and longer-term contentment, with contentment proving more sustainable. Executive coaching has been proven to improve self-efficacy and life satisfaction, while traditional linear career models are increasingly being replaced by flexible, multifaceted approaches to success.

    Is Our General Environment So Bad That It Makes Us MENTALLY Sick? | Dr Efosa Uwubamwen, XR Founder & Mental Health Expert
    Oct 28 2025
    We live in environments designed to overstimulate us, yet wonder why anxiety and depression rates are skyrocketing. What if the spaces we inhabitdaily are actively dysregulating our nervous systems? And what if technology—rather than being part of the problem—could become our greatest tool for prevention? Can virtual reality actually heal us, or are we just addingmore digital noise to an already overwhelming world?👉 Find the full playlist of episodes HERE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO6l9CNQoSFdYrSofAAHBcTdsnpYk8iYg ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Efosa Uwubamwen is a London-based medical doctor turned creative strategist and founder of Wellvrse, a pioneering company reimagining preventative health through design, neuroscience, and sensory experience.

  • Why Are We Losing Our Ability To Connect With Others? Is Modern Life DESTROYING Our Empathy Muscles? | Megan Pratt, Neuroscience and Culture Expert

    Why Are We Losing Our Ability To Connect With Others? Is Modern Life DESTROYING Our Empathy Muscles? | Megan Pratt, Neuroscience and Culture Expert
    Oct 23 2025
    We're naturally wired to sync with others: our heartbeats, brain waves, and emotions align when we connect. But modern life is breaking this biological superpower. Are we losing our ability to truly empathize and collaborate? What happens when our brains can no longer synchronize with the people around us?👉 Find the full playlist of episodes HERE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO6l9CNQoSFdYrSofAAHBcTdsnpYk8iYg ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Megan Pratt is a Business Humanizer and Partner at Innate Motion, a global strategic consultancy that helps brands grow by deeply understanding people within rich cultural contexts. She combines her neuroscience background with narrative expertise, focusing on how human insight translates into strategic storytelling for meaningful business growth. Originally from Florida and now based in Seville, Spain, Megan has worked with hundreds of brands worldwide, emphasizing empathy, connection, and practical brain science applications to improve collaboration and interpersonal synchrony.Today, expect to learn:• What synchrony really is and why our brains naturally align with others during interaction• How synchronized movements, emotions, heartbeats, and brain waves boost empathy and cooperation• Why smartphone use and social isolation are destroying our capacity for human connection• How an eight-week intervention increased empathy between Israeli and Palestinian teenagers through brainwave synchrony• Why empathy works like a muscle that gets stronger or weaker based on use• How to deliberately foster synchrony through eye contact, music, movement, and shared goals• What "group flow" means and how it creates optimal collaborative states• How to apply these insights in workplaces and remote settings for better teamwork• Why addressing societal polarization requires rebuilding our biological connection capacitySynchrony represents our evolutionary advantage for survival through cooperation. Research shows it develops faster between bonded individuals but can emerge among strangers working toward shared goals. Understanding these mechanisms offers practical pathways for improving relationships, reducing social tensions, and creating more empathetic societies through conscious interaction design.W H A T T O D O N E X T :GUEST LINKS ~LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mpratt/WEBSITE: https://www.innatemotion.com/team-1/megan-prattHOST LINKS ~WEBSITE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sevenjacobs.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sevenjacobs.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠SOCIALS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sevenjacobs.com/linksSHOW LINKS ~WEBSITE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sevenjacobs.com/lost-and-searching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@lostandsearchingpodcastALL EPISODES (Spotify): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/lostandsearchingALL EPISODES (Apple): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lost-and-searching/id1771369908⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources & Jargon Buster:Synchrony: The coordination of brains and bodies in time between people during social interactionInterbrain synchrony: Alignment of brain activity patterns measured through neuroimaging during social connectionGroup flow: Collective immersive state that enhances creativity, collaboration, and team performanceAlpha/Beta brain waves: Different frequencies of brain activity linked to relaxation versus focused cognitive states

  • Why Is Networking So Awkward? AI Slop Is RUINING Connection! Let's Change How We Come Together... | Mike Adams, Super Connector and Founder

    Why Is Networking So Awkward? AI Slop Is RUINING Connection! Let's Change How We Come Together... | Mike Adams, Super Connector and Founder
    Oct 21 2025
    Most of us dread networking events - the awkward small talk, the transactional feel, the pressure to "sell yourself." But what if networking could actually be joyful? What if it was less about what you can get and more about what you can give? Mike Adams has cracked the code after attending over 1,000 networking events and transforming from a shy programmer into a master connector.👉 Find the full playlist of episodes HERE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO6l9CNQoSFdYrSofAAHBcTdsnpYk8iYg ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mike Adams is a seasoned serial networker and founder of IntroStars, a platform that rewards business introducers for successful referrals. With 30 years of experience in sales and marketing at leading tech companies such as HP, Apple, and Zoom, Mike has attended over 1,000 networking events and transformed from a shy introvert into an expert connector passionate about helping people build meaningful business relationships. His startup IntroStars is a unique two-sided referral marketplace that allows professionals to earn referral fees by making warm introductions that lead to deals, thereby monetizing the value of their networks.Today, expect to learn:• How Mike transformed from a shy programmer into a networking expert who's attended 1000+ events• Why most people approach networking completely wrong and what mindset shift changes everything• The practical strategies that work best at networking events (including where to stand and what questions to ask)• How AI and digital spam are making authentic face-to-face connections more valuable than ever• Why curiosity and genuine interest in others beats any sales technique• How introstars is revolutionizing referral marketing by paying people for warm introductions• The ethical framework Mike uses to build lasting business relationships• Why networking should feel joyful rather than transactional• How to monetize your network without compromising relationshipsReferral marketing operates on the principle that warm introductions are significantly more effective than cold outreach, with studies showing referral leads convert at much higher rates. The rise of AI-generated content and digital spam has created what experts call "message fatigue," making authentic human connections increasingly valuable in business contexts.

    What Happens When The Mental Health System Fails You? | Shocka, Music Artist & Mental Health Leader
    Oct 16 2025
    Mental health stigma kills more than we realize, especially in Black communities where vulnerability is seen as weakness. But what if our deepest struggles could become our greatest strengths? What if vulnerability was actually the key to healing not just ourselves, but others too?👉 Find the full playlist of episodes HERE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO6l9CNQoSFdYrSofAAHBcTdsnpYk8iYg ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kenneth Erhahon, known as Shocka, is a British rapper and mental health advocate from Tottenham, London, best known as one-third of the grime collective Marvell. After facing severe mental health challenges—including multiple hospitalizations and a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia—he transformed his personal struggles into a mission to raise awareness about mental health, particularly within the Black community. Through his music, public speaking, and advocacy, Shocka promotes vulnerability as strength, emphasizing self-love, forgiveness, and the importance of connection to overcome loneliness and stigma. His album "Vulnerability Is The New Cool" reflects his mission to destigmatize mental health struggles.Today, expect to learn:• Why Shocka was sectioned four times and how the mental health system failed him• How loneliness has become a hidden epidemic killing more people than physical diseases• Why the spiritual dimension of mental health is overlooked due to stigma around "non-normal" experiences• How forgiveness of self and others became foundational to his healing process• Why vulnerability needs to become "cool," especially for Black men• How music serves as a healing instrument beyond what words can accomplish• What it means to live as a "key" that opens doors rather than a "padlock" that keeps them shut• How celebrating small wins and keeping commitments to yourself builds mental resilience• Why sharing imperfect truths publicly counters perfectionism and reduces stigmaMental health sectioning involves involuntary detention in psychiatric facilities under mental health laws when someone is deemed a risk to themselves or others. Paranoid schizophrenia is characterized by delusions and hallucinations, often involving persecution themes.
