Episode 5
Saturday, 10 May, 2025
Lost in the relentless hustle of entrepreneurship? Sophie Bryan sits down with Joel Lawton, who dared to ask: what if the key to your business lies not in pushing harder, but in radically slowing down? Joel shares his personal evolution from the traditional grind to a nature-infused approach that helps entrepreneurs rediscover their purpose.This episode challenges the deep-rooted belief that constant action equals success. Explore:How Joel's journey led him to uncover the power of environment in shifting perspectives.Why "work-life balance" is a myth, and understanding your needs is the real game-changer.The uncomfortable truth: sometimes the most productive thing you can do is stop.The radical idea that prioritising your own sense of being, not just the demands of your business, is the path to true understanding and impact.If the thought of taking a day off feels like an impossibility, this conversation is a vital wake-up call. It's time to rethink everything.About Sophie BryanSophie is a workplace culture disruptor, leadership coach, and the driving force behind Ordinarily Different.
