Today’s guest is Alan Heymann. Alan is the owner of Peaceful Direction. He is an executive coach and facilitator and is the author of two books on leadership analogies: “Don’t Just Have the Soup” and “Embrace Your Inner Peaches.” Alan is also a faculty member of the Georgetown University Institute for Transformational Leadership.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • How we’re dealing with the uncertainty of the world now.
  • The importance of being transparent and vulnerable about our businesses on social media and elsewhere.
  • Why Alan shared on LinkedIn that in July 2024 his gross revenue was only $600.
  • Alan’s freelance world pet peeve.
  • How he involved his virtual assistant in a reflection on ideal clients.
  • Why LinkedIn is a paradise for introverts.
  • How he respects his free time.
  • How he checks in with his community or network.
  • Why he loves connecting others.
  • The journey of breaking out of the “employee mindset” or “late-stage capitalism.”
  • How Alan blocks off a time twice a week for “exercise, create and learn.”
