Limitless

You're Avoiding 1 Conversation. Here's What It's Doing to You.

Limitless

Show Notes

Noona Nafousi coaches CEOs through the conversations they keep postponing, and she starts by looking at the leader instead of the team.

In this solo episode she explains why we avoid hard conversations, why everyone around us can feel it, and what it costs at work and at home.

You'll understand why other people's emotions feel unmanageable when you struggle with your own, how your brain builds worst-case pictures to keep you quiet, why an unsaid conversation keeps looping until you have it, and how changing the way you speak to yourself makes any conversation possible.

Callum and Paul, the stylist and colourist behind By The Boys in Dubai, were weeks from moving to LA and filming a Netflix show when COVID shut everything down in March 2020. They had already handed back their UK salon, given up the house and thrown the leaving party, so they moved to Dubai and built a brand people were chasing before it had a front door.Across 44 minutes with Noona Nafoosi, you get the full LA story, how Callum grew his first salon from age 19 to a £2 million turnover with 42 staff, why By The Boys pays uncapped commission instead of salaries, and the emotional weight hairdressers carry for their clients.
