In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, we're live from the SaaStock USA Scale stage where CEO Coach Mark MacLeod shares strategic insights and practical habits for sustainable success.
"In January 2021, I attended a retreat on the theme of self mastery with my guru and yoga teacher. As part of that, she had us write our eulogy. So I had to write about my life as if it was in the past and write about how people would describe me. What impact did I have? What values did I live by? How did I touch their lives? What did I stand for? I don't really believe in legacy because there's 8 billion people. I don't actually matter. But you know, how did people remember me until they forget me? There's nothing like looking in your life through the rear view mirror from the point of view of your death to clarify how you should live and the choices you should make today."
In the episode, Mark shares:
- His journey as a leader and how that experience led him to become a coach.
- The aspects of CEO life and hustle culture that lead to burnout and chronic stress.
- His reflections on his time as CFO at Freshworks and how jobs can be all encompassing.
- Why leading with intention should be your North Star and how to do it.
- How to take the intention you have as a CEO and apply it to other aspects of your life.
