Just Chill Founder Max Baumann on Millennial Entrepreneurship

Welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Gervais. And the idea behind these conversations is to learn. It's to learn from people who are on the path of mastery to understand what they're searching for, to understand their psychological framework, how they see the world and the skills, the psychological skills that support that, as well as the mental skills that they use to build and refine their craft.

And the ultimate goal is to not do exactly what they do, but rather to learn and calibrate our own framework and our own way to train the mental skills that they have used on their path. And it sounds kind of esoteric as an intro, but if you follow along, I think that there's some very clear and practical and sturdy ways to understand how they've trained their mind. Because as humans, there really is only a couple of things we can train. We can train our body, we can train our craft, and we can train our mind. And so this conversation is really about how to train the mind. And the craft, I think most of our crafts, if you will, is it's like this kind of temporary or made up context for us to have relationships. And it's the relationships with ourselves and relationships with nature and other people. And so I think I read a stat that somewhere near 80% or plus jobs, if there was a catastrophe, a global catastrophe, 80% or plus of those jobs would not be necessary. And certainly a high-performance psychologist would not be a necessary job. So it's like this made up world and universe that we get to explore potential, and we get to explore ourselves in that pursuit.

I want to take a minute here to announce a really exciting event that we have coming up. As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I want to pose a question. What are you doing right now to be great with stress? How are you working with stress on your pursuit towards your most important ambitions and goals? And I just want to get right to the heart of the key elements, one in particular, for what it takes to excel in today's high heat, high stakes world. Because stress is not the problem that we think it is. Stress is a synonym for change. And our ability to be agile with change, that is the real opportunity at hand. So if you're wanting to unlock extraordinary results and sustainable performance in your life, it's not about avoiding or reducing stress. And as simple as that sounds, it's very tricky to do, but it is about fundamentally changing your relationship with it.
