In this week’s episode of Better Business, Better Life, host Debra Chantry-Taylor is joined by seasoned EOS Implementer and entrepreneur Scott Rusnak to talk about one of the most overlooked skills in business: the power of saying no.
From launching his own software company to relocating internationally and embracing EOS, Scott shares the lessons he’s learned about boundaries, self-care, and living intentionally. He introduces the concept of Dunbar’s number - a guide for who gets your energy, and explains how clarity breaks, core values, and a bigger sense of purpose can help entrepreneurs avoid burnout and find real fulfilment.
Whether you're a people pleaser, a business owner on the edge, or just looking to better manage your time and relationships, this episode will give you the tools to pause, prioritise, and protect what matters most.
