Empire Building 306. 3 Strategies for Navigating Life’s Hardest Storms with Jay Papasan
If you’re in a season where it feels like one more thing might break you, this conversation is for you. We’re sitting down with Jay Papasan, New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of The ONE Thing Company, for a candid look at what it means to lead when life doesn’t let up.
Jay shares what the last several years have really looked like behind the scenes, and how those experiences shaped a set of “lighthouses” he now uses to navigate tough storms. We talk about how high achievers spiral into self-criticism, why old standards can become impossible anchors, and how recalibrating expectations can keep you from drowning. Jay also unpacks what it means to re-engineer your village on purpose by cultivating friendships deep enough to call in the middle of the night and creating intentional rituals that keep your support system strong before the next hard season hits.
If you’re building a big business and trying to live a bigger life, this episode will help you stay grounded, stay honest, and keep moving forward with support.
