#24: Getting Good (Solo Q+A) | Drew Korf

Drew Korf (that's me!) is the host of Pressed for Presence and founder of Storyline Media Co.In this solo episode, I sit down to reflect on a busy season where I dove head-first into a chapter of self-inflicted burnout, rebuilding, and learning what it really means to “get good.”Over the past few months, I’ve been head-down in my business, rebuilding the foundation and getting back to the basics. In the process, I learned a lot about presence, burnout, and the balance between growth and peace.We broke the episode down into three sections where we covered a reflection of the most recent chapter in life and business, broke down insights from my Creative Act notes section, and answered some audience questions in a Q+A.Key takeaways: - Why pattern breaks might be the key to lasting memories- How burnout can actually be an impactful teacher- Speaking as if the best version of yourself is listening. - Reframing the question "What are you running from?"- Sunday Neurosis- Making the decision to Get Good at your pursuit- The concept of sonder and how it relates to peace and perspectiveThis one’s raw and reflective. It’s about business, but also about life. About knowing when to press pause, when to push, and when to simply be.If you’ve been feeling stuck, spinning, or running on fumes, I hope this episode reminds you to take inventory of what matters and spend your energy + focus on purpose.p.s. thank you all for your patience while we grinded our way back into being able to release episodes of this show consistently. it feels great to be beack.Thanks for listening.Be Where Your Feet Are,- DrewFind Pressed for Presence:Instagram →  https://www.instagram.com/pressedforpresence/TikTok →  https://www.tiktok.com/@pressedforpresenceYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@pressedforpresenceSpotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/2vYm3Cw...Find Drew Korf:Instagram →  https://www.instagram.com/drewkorf/TikTok →  https://www.tiktok.com/@drew.korfShow Chapters:00:00:00 – Intro & gratitude00:03:09 – Breaking the Doom Loop00:08:51 – Managing burnout00:11:53 – Pattern Breaks00:18:46 – Re-creating a 9 to 5 as an entrepreneur00:22:22 – “Sunday Neurosis”00:28:08 – Getting Good00:37:45 – Naming the seasons of your life00:40:54 – The Creative Act00:43:22 – Speak as if the best version of you is listening00:49:30 – Honesty as recalibration to reality01:07:45 – Sonder01:14:49 – The Poem I'll Leave Behind01:18:30 - Q&A: Go-to coffee order01:19:33 – Q&A: If you could sit with one person and just listen…01:21:52 – Q&A: If I had to start a new business tomorrow01:23:42 - Q&A: Bringing aspects of the podcast into the real world01:28:16 – Q&A: Connor Bokman Invite01:31:05 – Q&A: Dinner with any version of yourself01:41:02 – Q&A: Advice to your 18-year-old self01:46:52 – Q&A: Next chapter01:49:54 – Outro
