episode Entrepreneurial Wellness: Burnout, Boundaries & Building Well artwork

Entrepreneurial Wellness: Burnout, Boundaries & Building Well

Entrepreneurial wellness goes beyond self-care trends — it’s about burnout prevention, boundaries, and building a sustainable business. In this episode, Alison Dean shares insights from founders and leaders on work-life balance, resilience, and creating teams that thrive. This isn’t the aesthetic version of wellness. It’s the real version. Inside this episode: • Daily non-negotiables that anchor high performers • The role of boundaries, solitude, and digital detox • Movement vs. stillness — and finding your personal “floor” • Navigating seasonal intensity and burnout • 4-day workweeks, flexible hours, and structural support for teams • Transparency, trust, and internal company culture • When the word “wellness” deserves a second look • Why joy — not perfection — might be the most sustainable strategy of all You’ll hear honest reflections on how leaders prioritize emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being — even in demanding seasons of growth. If you’re building a business, leading a team, or navigating your own definition of success, this episode offers practical insights and grounded perspectives to help you create something sustainable. Because building well isn’t about looking balanced — it’s about staying aligned. —  Episode resources and guest links: officialdeanslist.com [http://officialdeanslist.com/] Subscribe for more conversations at the intersection of entrepreneurship, wellness, and intentional living. — Disclaimer: The Dean’s List is for educational and inspirational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical, psychological, or professional advice.

episode Taking the Plunge: When an Idea Stops Being Theoretical artwork

Taking the Plunge: When an Idea Stops Being Theoretical

Starting a business rarely begins with certainty. More often, it starts with a pull you can’t ignore. In this highlights episode of The Dean’s List, host Alison Dean curates powerful moments from founders, creatives, and operators who followed an instinct—sometimes obvious, sometimes practical—and chose to build before they felt ready. Together, these stories explore the leap from side idea to real thing, and the decisions that shape both the business and the person building it. Across industries—from food and fitness to travel, technology, and creative work—these founders reflect on the tradeoffs that come with starting something new: learning in public, navigating uncertainty, and trusting momentum when the plan runs out. Beyond origin stories, this conversation explores: — How founders know when it’s time to commit — Building without burning out — Letting response, not perfection, guide growth — Why alignment often matters more than timing This episode blends ambition and care—and leaves us with a question worth sitting with: > When an idea keeps asking for more of you, what does it mean to say yes? If this conversation resonated, subscribe to The Dean’s List, share it with someone building thoughtfully, and leave a review with the moment that stayed with you.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
