Inner MBA The Podcast

Scott Shute shares a journal exercise that asks who we want to be in the world, from daily conduct to our personal mission statement. Please be prepared with a journal.

Scott Shute reminds us that every thought, word, and action contributes to—or detracts from—our ability to thrive, and in parallel, mindful action keeps us fueled and primed for success and clarity.

Scott Shute walks us through mapping our thoughts, then applying a mindset of inquiry: Is this helpful? Can I move on? How can I shift from anxiety to productivity, from regret to relief? Learning to gently guide our minds back to the present is a practice for wellness and ease. Please be prepared with a journal.

Scott Shute talks us through the three components of self-compassion—mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness. With these, we can rewrite the inner narrative from critic to champion.

Scott Shute offers a guided meditation that connects us more deeply with self-compassion.
