Lost in the relentless hustle of entrepreneurship? Sophie Bryan sits down with Joel Lawton, who dared to ask: what if the key to your business lies not in pushing harder, but in radically slowing down? Joel shares his personal evolution from the traditional grind to a nature-infused approach that helps entrepreneurs rediscover their purpose.This episode challenges the deep-rooted belief that constant action equals success. Explore:

• How Joel's journey led him to uncover the power of environment in shifting perspectives.
• Why "work-life balance" is a myth, and understanding your needs is the real game-changer.
• The uncomfortable truth: sometimes the most productive thing you can do is stop.
• The radical idea that prioritising your own sense of being, not just the demands of your business, is the path to true understanding and impact.

If the thought of taking a day off feels like an impossibility, this conversation is a vital wake-up call. It's time to rethink everything.
