#263 Lessons In Productivity From The Startup World – with Stoyan Yankov

This week I speak with Stoyan Yankov, productivity and performance coach and author of PERFORM: The Unsexy Truth About (Startup) Success.

Stoyan has a fantastic life story to share. Starting in his native Bulgaria and pursuing a finance degree in Denmark, he discovered a passion for filmmaking that saw him eventually work as a producer for more than 500 films. Then the epiphany happened. When delivering a speech, he realised a person’s life could truly be changed with a one-hour speech. After that, he quit filmmaking and pursued a career as a motivational speaker and workshop host.

We talk:

  • Washing dishes and giving speeches
  • Keeping purpose present
  • The Art of Prioritisation
  • Are you eating frogs or honey?
  • Can ‘self-work’ be an avoidance strategy?
