What if the way we work is the very thing that’s breaking us—and what if there’s another way?

In this episode of Business Origin Stories, I’m joined by Olivier Egli, a business guide who stands at the intersection of leadership, neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, offering a radically different blueprint for work—one that breaks from our traditional, toxic approaches to success.

Olivier’s work invites leaders, founders, and parents to reconsider everything from productivity and ambition to abundance, intuition, and peace. His perspective is deeply informed by lived transformation—moving through identity death, uncertainty, and “winter seasons” to arrive at a regenerative, fertile model of business and life.

In our conversation, we explore:

  • What a fertile, sustainable business actually looks like in practice
  • Why intuition is becoming a non-negotiable leadership skill
  • The identity shifts required to trust abundance and reciprocity
  • How hustle culture and optimization-based coaching are burning people out
  • Why darkness, grief, and uncertainty are essential parts of real growth
  • What it means to measure success by peace—not performance
  • How we raise children for a world that no longer follows old rules

This episode is not about tactics or scaling faster.
It’s about becoming the kind of leader—and human—who can build something life-giving.

If you feel called to create work that honors nature, nervous systems, and the soul—this conversation will resonate deeply.
