The Business of Thinking Big
Challenging Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When we don’t challenge ourselves, we get bored. In this episode, Lianne Kim shares her personal journey of stepping outside her comfort zone by pursuing hot yoga teacher training—and the powerful lessons it revealed about resilience, joy, and growth.
Challenging ourselves isn’t just about physical endurance. It’s about building mental strength, finding novelty in our routines, and keeping our brains sharp as we age. Whether in business or life, pushing beyond what feels easy helps us discover new levels of confidence and fulfillment.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why challenge builds resilience and strengthens mental health
- How novelty creates joy and keeps life exciting
- The role of new experiences in building a stronger, sharper brain
- Why balancing self-kindness with ambition is key to sustainable growth
- How trying something new—even if it feels scary—can reignite passion in business and life
