'I invest in my life deeply, in my people, my love, my adventures, my home. I’m great at that. But at work, I’m disengaged. I wish life could be my job!'

‘I’ve taken a job ... But my happiness and excited nerves are being clouded by the sadness of needing to let down my current employer.’

"I wonder sometimes if I’d be happier being more a part of the culture, as you would put it. Sometimes I wonder if I’m missing out."

“In layman's terms, how can I implement the 'no dickheads rule' without sacrificing revenue and reputation in the process?”

"I’ve always been a ‘grass is greener’ kinda human ... I value growth, experiences, adventure, and the occasional shiny thing."

“I’ve lost my way. I’m in over my head, trying to do and be all things in my early-stage, purpose-driven, startup. I care too much about everything.”

"I’m really good at giving up. It’s a real problem and probably the thing that keeps me from the level of success I really want to attain in life."

“Sometimes I feel like it’s just one endless cycle of goals, and setbacks, and new goals. One step forward, two steps back.”

‘Companies seem to be looking to hire younger leaders. From my experience, if you’re not in your 40s, you’re not going to get a look in.’

'Since launching a business, and watching it fail, I have fallen out of love with the brand and am finding it hard to feel inspired by it anymore.'
