They discuss how self-awareness, discipline, and perspective help you face setbacks with resilience and use every obstacle as fuel for growth.๐ฌ๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ:- Develop emotional intelligence to navigate stress and burnout.- Shift from being resilient to being anti-fragile โ using pressure as power.- Build self-regulation and awareness to stay grounded in chaos.- Reframe adversity as a necessary part of your evolution.- Find joy, curiosity, and purpose in the day-to-day grind of entrepreneurship.- Recognize burnout as a signal of misalignment โ not weakness.- Stay unshakable by protecting your peace, focus, and energy.This episode is a powerful reminder that success isnโt about avoiding pain โ itโs about transforming it. The moment you stop resisting the chaos and start learning from it, you step into the mindset that makes you unstoppable.Whether youโre building a business, leading a team, or just trying to level up in life โ this conversation will challenge your thinking and redefine how you view failure, struggle, and growth.๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ:0:00 โ Intro2:30 โ Why Emotional Intelligence Matters in Entrepreneurship6:00 โ The Truth About Burnout and Self-Awareness10:15 โ Resilience vs. Anti-Fragility14:00 โ How to Reframe Chaos as Opportunity19:30 โ Emotional Strength and the Courage to Act25:00 โ Discipline, Alignment, and Daily Awareness30:00 โ Finding Joy and Gratitude in Small Wins35:00 โ Staying Curious and Hungry as a Creator40:00 โ Final Thoughts: Becoming UnshakableConnect with Justin Thorstad:๐ Cell: (602) 348-8534๐ง Email: Justin@libertasrealestate.com๐ Website: www.justinthorstad.com๐ฑ Instagram: @justinthorstadFollow Rafael Cortez:๐ Website: www.ceopulse.com๐ฑ Instagram: @rafaelcortezceo๐ Facebook: @rafaelcortezceoCEO Pulse | The Real, The Raw & The Mind of Entrepreneurship.Your backstage pass to the stories, strategies, and psychology of top-performing entrepreneurs.
