Today's episode is my virtual speech at the True North event that took place last year. I dive deep into the essence of motivation and emotional intelligence. I share my journey of being a default optimist, grounded in reality, and emphasize the importance of cherishing the journey over the destination in entrepreneurship. I also discuss the dangers of seeking external validation and the pitfalls of living life based on others' opinions. Lastly, I talk about the value of gratitude in everyday life and urge you to practice it genuinely.
