Jonathan and guest, Betty Chan, an authenticity coach, discuss various topics including their experiences as entrepreneurs, issues of burnout, and the importance of taking regular rest. Betty shares her belief in 'gentle leadership' and the value of allowing oneself the freedom to simply exist, such as her concept of 'potato days' - where one intentionally does nothing to reset and recharge. The conversation also delves into understanding the importance of acknowledging and giving voice to inner judgments and learning how to navigate self-doubts. Betty emphasizes her goal to develop an authenticity-based coaching system that helps individuals navigate their unique career paths and manage personal expectations while maintaining balance. The conversation is deep, philosophical yet profoundly practical as they explore authenticity, the meaning of work, self-care practices, and the struggles of entrepreneurship.
