Why Saying No Is The Most Powerful Thing You Can Do

<p>Jake and Damian go deep on one of the most universal struggles in high performance: why so many of us find it almost impossible to say no, and what it's actually costing us when we can't.</p><br><p>Drawing on conversations with promoter Barry Hearn, who walked away from a £30 million deal because he didn't like the people behind it, comedian Katherine Ryan, who voluntarily gave up a career-defining TV slot so other women could have their chance, and leading psychologist Gabor Maté, who traces the roots of people-pleasing all the way back to childhood, Jake and Damian explore why saying yes to everyone else might mean saying no to yourself.</p><br><p>They cover the science of sociotropy, the difference between "I can't" and "I don't", and why the guilt you feel when you say no is usually a sign you've got your values exactly right.</p><br><p>Plus, the audience response to Liam Lawson's recent episode has been extraordinary. Jake and Damian reflect on why it's struck such a nerve.</p><br><p>Listen to the full episodes featured:</p><p>Barry Hearn pod.fo/e/157c60</p><p>Katherine Ryan pod.fo/e/1df492</p><p>Gabor Maté pod.fo/e/273d65</p><br><p>Re… Business 👉 High-performing businesses need powerful financial tools.
