Description

In this episode, Joel, and Andy discuss why, right now, everyone is referring to virtually anything that does not fit in with their worldview and narrative as being toxic. They talk about how this over-sensitivity has come about, and the damage it can do to you and others.

They then share ways to stop yourself from getting sucked into looking at everything in that jaded way. Explaining how to keep things in balance. To see the world as it really is, yet still be ready to handle genuinely toxic situations and people, in a healthy way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The word toxic means something that is extremely harmful or unpleasant, in a pervasive or insidious way. That is not how the word is being used now.
• When someone disagrees with us, their views are not automatically toxic.
• Thinking everything is toxic, closes your mind. Not being ready to listen to others is bad for business.
• When you think everything is toxic you become hyper-sensitive and scared to put your head above the parapet e.g., use social media to grow your business.
• You can't always avoid exposing yourself to toxicity, especially in business.
• Be ready to handle toxic situations you can't avoid in a healthy way.
• Choose when and how you put your head above the parapet.
• Take responsibility, if someone is upsetting you, challenge them or stay away from them.
• If life feels like a grind, seek out the people that lift you up.
• Look after yourself physically and mentally. It helps to make you more resilient.
