What does every founder need? Uninterrupted time for thinking and clarifying ideas and strategy. Where can you get that? At Unplugged.rest. Is it worth it - hell yes. I feel 10 IQ points smarter just by spending 3 days in a log cabin, amongst the trees, away from the hustle of my day-to-day life. Hector Hughes was beginning to burn out running a tech startup. So one day he took himself to a silent retreat in the Himalayas. Upon his return, he did what every disillusioned employee wants to do - he quit. And then he set up Unplugged. This is a story of a very empathic founder who followed his intuition and created the perfect getaway for burnt out city folk who want to experience the benefits of a digital detox and connecting with nature. In Episode 50 Hector and I talk about our inability to stop, tech addiction, burnout, benefits of slowing down, and challenges of an ambitious startup. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode, but more than anything I hope you get to go on this fantastic retreat as it has completely changed my worldview.
