The world is changing - faster than we can keep up. But change is a distraction, and the way to respond to macro change is to focus on micro you. Jim's Take creates an environment that’s ripe for learning practical, tangible and interesting ways to remain relevant while improving yourself and the people around you.
Jim Frawley is an arbiter of change; working as an executive coach and business consultant with a unique capability in getting people to do things they didn’t think they could. After some experimentation on using this capability for good or evil, he decided on the good. (But not before convincing an Irish cousin to swim in the Hudson River.)
He has learned a lot by making very questionable decisions and loves sharing those learnings with anyone interested in listening.
This podcast is just one component of what he always wished to build. More information is available on www.jimfrawley.com.

This week, we're flipping the script.In a world that’s endlessly screaming for your attention—but rarely in your interest—it’s time to talk about healthy selfishness. This isn’t about giving up. It’s about giving up on the noise, the “shoulds,” and the imaginary expectations placed on you by people who don’t share your values.When nothing matters the way we think it does, we get to decide what actually does. That’s freedom.In this episode, we cover: * Why we’re so stressed (hint: it’s not your inbox)* How other people’s imaginations are running your life* The real meaning of “nothing matters” as liberation, not nihilism* Defining healthy selfishness—and how it makes you a better person* How to filter your decisions through your values, not societal pressure* A challenge to say “no” to one thing this week, and “yes” to yourselfIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, judged, distracted, or pulled in a hundred directions—you’re not alone. But this episode is your permission slip to simplify, focus, and prioritize the one person who truly needs your attention: you.Key Quote: “The world is screaming for your attention, but rarely in your interest.” – Jim FrawleyTopics and Concepts Mentioned:* Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and self-actualization* Ethical philosophy and enlightened self-interest* The burden of “should” and how to reject it* Simplicity as a strategy for peace and clarity* Leading with yourself as the foundation for fulfillmentWeekly Challenge:Pick one thing to deprioritize. Say no to something that doesn’t matter. Say yes to yourself.Connect with Jim:Website: (http://www.jimfrawley.com)www.jimfrawley.com (http://www.jimfrawley.com)Instagram | Twitter | TikTok: @jimfrawleynyLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jimfrawley
