Beyond the Self: Creating Waves of Positivity in Work and Life with Jon Sabes
Manage episode 493976225 series 3567325
Take a deep dive into the philosophy that transforms daily habits into lifelong success with serial entrepreneur Jon Sabes. This conversation uncovers the power of "small, consistent efforts made upstream that lead to significant downstream effects" across all areas of life.
Jon shares his journey as a two-decade entrepreneur who's built multiple companies, gone public, and experienced both incredible success and massive challenges. Through these experiences, he's developed practical wisdom about what truly drives performance and happiness.
The conversation explores the true nature of happiness as a journey rather than a destination. Jon differentiates between hedonic pursuits (self-indulgent behaviors) versus virtuous activities that create ripples of positivity around you. His insights on delayed gratification will transform how you think about short-term versus long-term rewards: "When you're 70, and when you're 80, and God willing, when you're 90 or even 100... you want to be able to look back and say my life has been a dream."
Whether you're seeking personal growth, building a team, or simply trying to find more joy in daily life, John's approach to pursuing happiness through intentional daily practices will give you practical tools to implement immediately. Connect with Jon: https://jonsabes.com/
