Show notes

Let's refresh our creative ambition before fall!

Today we're wrapping our Back to Biz Refresh series with leadership expert Amina AlTai.

Amina is the author of The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living.

Together we discuss:

  • What ambition actually is and why it's neutral
  • How core wounds create painful ambition — even if you love what you do
  • Ways to figure out if your ambition is helping or harming you
  • Finding aliveness when you don't feel ambitious
  • What it takes to stay in business through hard times
