The Resilient Entrepreneur with Michelle Mercier

What would you do if you showed up to board a flight and were unable to do so because your name was on Interpol’s Most Wanted list? That’s exactly what happened to today’s guest, Marek Zmysłowski.

Marek is a Polish-born entrepreneur and executive, focused on Online Business and Renewable Energy, passionate about Emerging Markets. He is also the author of the Best-Selling book – “Chasing Black Unicorns” – which tells the story of his time as a start up founder in Nigeria. Today’s interview covers the twists & turns that occurred when a business partner got Marek placed on Interpol’s Most Wanted list...freezing his bank accounts, blacklisting him within his industry and so much more. Instead of stepping into the victim role, he decided to fight the injustice and own his part in the wrongdoing. All of this resulted in charges being dropped, as well as a much-needed awakening for Marek.

This is one of my all-time favorite episodes!! Do. Not. Miss. It!

The New Year is almost upon us...and so is the “new year, new you” marketing. We’re taking a fresh look at this concept, as well as goal setting with today’s guest, Tara McMullin.

Tara has recently published an incredible new book entitled: “What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal Setting.”

We discuss topics such as the:

• Challenge that occurs when you base your identity on your accomplishments
• Dichotomy of personal types when it comes to goal setting
• Question of “What does growth without striving look like?”
• Difference between “achievement orientation” vs. “practice orientation.”
• Approach you can take going into the new year that will work for YOU
• Mental Health Stigmas that stop us from appreciating people’s uniqueness

This month’s episodes are a true gift from us to you. Today’s topic is all about having fun!!

On today’s episode, I’m chatting with the incredible Catherine Price around her new book – “The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again.” Some may feel like fun is frivolous or a waste of time but Catherine has done the research and can officially tell us that the opposite is true. Fun is an attribute that deeply connects humans to one another and transcends all our differences. Catherine shares a lot of her intriguing research around fun, as well as how she’s come to define “true fun” as the intersection of playfulness, connection & flow.

This episode will teach you how to spark a “funtervention” in your own life and bring more fun to this holiday season.
