25. How to Handle The Stress of Running A Local Business (Remotely!)
In this episode Neel and David discuss the stress of running a remote local business.
David begins the discussion philosophically by asking what the function of stress is within an evolutionary framework: it's there to give us tools to deal with a threat. While we might not have to deal with a tiger chasing us, sometimes our body can still react as if that's the case, and we need to reframe that thinking.
They also discuss:
- situations that lead to stress in modern businesses, particularly the remote local variety
- whether businesses are more stressful than jobs
- how you should react when you get that first 1-star review
- the role travel plays in de-stressing
Enjoy the episode!
