Episode notes

High achievers might excel in business but struggle in personal realms like self-control over desires and vulnerability. The pressure of defining moments can expose mental weaknesses even in successful individuals. External focus, dopamine loops, and achievement-driven mindsets can hinder self-confrontation for entrepreneurs. This avoidance of introspection leads to perpetual busyness as a means of escape from facing personal struggles and emotional challenges.
