Summary:
As business owners and leaders, it’s easy for us to get swept up in the current of what has always worked and what we’ve always done. While society celebrates this approach, there’s another way — an intentional one — that has the potential to yield even greater returns. On today’s episode of the Launch Youniversity podcast, our host, Kevin Jennings, is joined by entrepreneur Darrah Brustein to discuss what it looks like to design an intentional life and business, and how to view life’s obstacles as opportunities for what’s next.
Welcome to episode 131 of the Launch Youniversity Podcast.

9 Questions To Ask Your Network To Help You Find Your Path
Three Takeaways:
- Learn when to say no.
Despite all the popular quotes about quitting, sometimes it’s OK to stop doing something that doesn’t serve you well. Darrah encourages us to see quitting a different way: Not as a cul-de-sac at the end of our journey, but a pivot — a change of direction on your life’s roadmap. - Be loose with your plan.
Sometimes, we get so attached to the business plans and strategies that we miss out on the opportunities that await us now. Be flexible and be willing to change if necessary. - Question everything.
Ask yourself what would serve you right now. If you’re doing something that doesn’t serve you, you’re not only doing a disservice to yourself, but to everyone around you. Don’t be afraid to change your course.
