Today in the podcast we have Mark Manson for an episode filled with Knowledge Bombs.
If you’re not familiar with the man, Mark Manson is an author and blogger at MarkManson.net, where he writes about personal development, lifestyle, and psychology.
He is also one of the NoHat Team’s favorite bloggers.
During this episode, Hayden and Mark discuss why many people fail at starting a business and have unrealistic expectations about the entrepreneurial journey.
They also dig deeper into what it means to be an entrepreneur and even discuss meditation and “unconventional” spiritual experiences.
If you are looking to mix up your current business podcast regiment with something new and different, this is a MUST listen.

I meditated this morning because of this webinar…. And I feel fan-damn-tastic!
Hayden says:
Amazing! I told Max afterward, if one person begins meditating because of this podcast it will have been worth it :)
Jim says:
Terrific podcast!
I almost didn’t listen to it because of the “hallucinatory drug” title, but the only hallucination was my assumuption.
Mark & Hayden provide a thoughtful reflection of an entrepreneurial journey, some of the challenges, the misconceptions, and the value of courage & confidence in yourself.
Enjoyed their candor on the topic.
To risk nothing… is to risk everything!
A great listen…
