737. Balance Spiritual Growth + Business Ventures for REAL Success

In this episode, join Lindsey and Shizu Okusa, founder of Apothékary, for an inspiring dive into the entrepreneurial journey, the power of herbs, and how to prioritize what matters most in life. Want to learn how to maintain a mindful + purposeful approach as a busy founder? This is for you!

Ahead, Shizu helps us redefine success beyond traditional career milestones, emphasizing the importance of cultivating what she calls “eulogy virtues” as much as we work on our “resume virtues.” She also opens up about her spiritual journey and how she’s learned to trust divine timing.

Shizu illuminates her path from working at Goldman Sachs to building Apothékary, offering invaluable insights on staying grounded while you climb the ladder of success. If you’re an entrepreneur or just want to learn how to balance productivity + spiritual nourishment, listen up!
