David speaks with with Michael Ashcroft, a writer and Alexander Technique teacher who previously spent 10 years consulting on clean energy innovation.
A lot of Michael’s work centres around helping people expand their awareness. He’s written several essays and posts I’ve loved, particularly about the concept of grinding, and how paying attention to our awareness can help us maximise our creativity, productivity, posture and physical engagement.
They talked about:
🔄 Switching from corporate to self-employment
🕊️ How freedom creates tension in work and life
📝 Staying productive without burning out
🚀 How to channel your ambition
🎲 Setting the right priorities
🥷🏽 Missionary mindset vs. mercenary mindset
