What Works | Small Business Podcast With Tara Mcmullin

Well, it’s the first week of January. And whether you’re back to work or eking out a few more hours of unstructured liminal time, the arrival of New Year energy is imminent. You know what I mean by New Year energy—it’s that annual infusion of urgency, striving, and discipline that comes crashing down on our post-holiday mellowness. And if we’re not paying attention, that New Year energy will sweep us out to sea. What if this year, we embraced patience?  In this piece, I share how baking has helped me feel good about going slow and why that’s crucial to the way I work. Footnotes: You Belong by Sebene Selassie “The Human-Built World Is Not Built For Humans” by L.
