We looked at ways to let go of your own image of yourself and be happy about the choices you've made. We investigated crossing borders in the personal and professional domains tackling the forever elusive topic of business innovation. There were even a few personal borders we crossed ourselves when recording this very season :) We hope you will have a lot of joy listening to it!

He points out at the traps of our System 1 thinking when it comes to considering something to be common sense. Then we chat about the role of empathy in influencing people, what trust means in the interpersonal relationships and how crucial it is to be able to change our own minds before we attempt to change the minds of others.
