Episode notes

Your unconscious mind is waigh more powerful than your conscious mind, and is driving your behavior most of the time. Just creating these little incentives for yourself can be incredibly effective. And so what i have had to do in my personal life is turn on screen time on my phone and give my wife the past code not having ice cream in the house. I feel like a alcoholic or something when it comes to these stimulous devices.

My guest is businessman and investor Andrew Wilkinson, who has made a successful career out of channeling his entrepreneurial spirit, but he knows that sometimes that energy can be a double-edged sword.

We discuss the lessons learned acquiring 40 companies, why he struggled to find happiness and what changed, mimetic desire, competing with venture-backed companies, hiring and firing CEOs, getting back up after million dollar mistakes, and so much more.
