Boundless: The Human Side Of Work

“You can’t study or learn your way into a new identity” - I love this quote from Darren Joe.  He’s been thinking about carving a different path from 2003 to 2004.  He said that he was driven by a natural drive to be independent and do his own thing.  I found this pretty impressive because in those years not many people were doing what he was doing. He recently published a book titled The Fail-Safe Entrepreneur.  In it he argues that almost all solopreneurs strive for three things: Freedom, Adventure, Meaning.  I definitely agree.  However, he says many fail to reach these aims because they ignore the shadow side of this path.  He details four things - FAIL: Failure, anxiety, instability, loneliness. We explore many things in this conversation including: Grappling with the achiever identity Longing for independence and freedom Parental approval Building Community Experiments Defining success You can buy his book the Fail Safe Solopreneur on Amazon ------------------------ SUPPORT BOUNDLESS Subscribe
