I speak with Andrew McConnell, entrepreneur, elite athlete, father and author of the book; Get Out of My Head: Creating Modern Clarity with Stoic Wisdom. He introduces the concepts of stoicism- forming thoughtful reactions to constant life stressors and self doubt; and the imperative of learning to control the things we can and not worrying about those things we cannot. Andrew's entrepreneurial experience as founder of Rented.com taught him that the process of starting a business could be more valuable than the result, as relentlessly working towards his goal built agency and successful habits. We discuss how the constant pressure of allostatic load, isolation and self doubt in our modern world sabotages our time and effectiveness. Andrew outlines his practice of "zero-based calendaring" which integrates time management, priority orientation and allocation of energy to help restore balance and design over the outcome of our lives.
