Achieving Healthy and Sustainable Success with Kevin P Murphy (Part 1)

Achieving Healthy and Sustainable Success with Kevin P Murphy

This episode of The Advancement Spot is a little bit different — I was honoured to sit in the guest seat as the incredible Kevin P Murphy stepped into the host role to lead our candid and inspiring discussion!

Reframing Our Concepts of Success, Privilege, and Balance

As the host of The Reflect-On Podcast, Kevin explores inspiring stories, traumas, lessons, and reflections on fears, feelings, and what truly matters. In this episode, he guides us through a beautiful conversation that touches on Apply Yourself’s holistic vision, why we shouldn’t ignore the immense benefits of in-person learning, and how we can nurture and nourish our drive to succeed.

You’ll discover:

• How to embrace the moments of reflection and surrender that will help us reach our goals
• How education will likely shift in the future and how to maximize its benefits
• Why the idea of work-life balance is a lie (and what we should actually strive for!)
• How to avoid letting toxicity seep into your professional or academic life
• The power of using your privilege for good — and how it can help you build a beautiful legacy

This no-limits conversation is the first of a two-part series. Be sure to tune into next week’s episode to experience our full journey!
