INTERMISSION : Balancing Dreams and Empathy: Navigating Intense Focus and Connection

  • Summary

  • Ever wondered if being hyper-focused on your goals might be mistaken for narcissism? Join me, Michael Howard, as I unpack this sensitive topic on the latest episode of the "Unpacked and Naked" podcast. I take a deep dive into my personal experiences over the last 30 episodes, sharing the internal struggles and realizations I've had about balancing a principled life with the unintended consequences of intense focus. This episode is a raw and candid reflection on how we might inadvertently harm those around us when we're too engrossed in our own passions.

    Tune in for an introspective journey where I discuss the vital importance of shutting up and truly listening to oneself. Drawing on insights from my conversation with Todd, I explore the value of being kinder and more open to differing perspectives. This episode is an honest look at how our fervor can sometimes overshadow the needs and feelings of others, and the steps I'm taking to ensure a more balanced and inclusive approach in both my personal and professional life.
