While Eóin isn't a small business owner, his insights on managing uncertainty, the relationship between work and mental wellbeing, and learning to switch off are invaluable for entrepreneurs. They discuss the science behind why purposeful work matters for mental health, practical strategies for dealing with constant stress and uncertainty, and how to recognise when you need professional help. Eóin also shares his approach to maintaining boundaries in meaningful work and offers coping mechanisms for those feeling overwhelmed by responsibility. A conversation filled with practical wisdom for anyone juggling business pressures with mental wellbeing.Sponsored by Vanta AI: vanta.com/mydailybusinessConnect with Professor Eóin Killackey:LinkedInOrygenConnect with My Daily Business:Instagram: @mydailybusiness_TikTok: @mydailybusinessEmail: [email protected]: mydailybusiness.comResources mentioned:Vanta AIOrygenHow to Get Your Book Published course Join our AI Chat Group for small business ownersMy Daily Business courses - mydailybusiness.com/courses A huge thanks to our sponsor #gifted a platform that helps businesses connect with real people creating real content, at a fraction of the time and cost of a traditional campaign.
