Struggling to Turn Off Your Brain?

from Freelance to Founder · host Millo

Jordan works remotely and can't seem to shut his brain off—work follows him everywhere, from his bathroom to Bali to a bench under a bridge. Preston and Steven Puri, a former film studio executive and three-time startup founder, break down how to build mental boundaries when you don't have a physical office. They dig into the power of ritual and physical association, sharing a wild story about the writers of Independence Day and a $5 million villa, to explain exactly how top performers train their brains to switch into—and out of—deep focus.
