As entrepreneurs, we often mistake motion for progress — filling every minute with meetings, targets, and to-do lists.
But what if the real key to success lies in slowing down, creating space, and regaining control of your focus and energy?
In this episode, we explore how “white space” thinking can transform the way you lead, work, and live.
Discover why stillness is the foundation of high performance, and how intentional focus helps you make smarter decisions, strengthen resilience, and drive meaningful growth.
You’ll also learn how to spot hidden opportunities, avoid burnout, and build a life that aligns with your values, not just your business goals.
Jane is joined by serial entrepreneur and social impact leader James Cuss, CEO of Rocket Industries, whose learner finance platform has empowered over 80,000 people to upskill and unlock better futures.
This conversation will shift your perspective on productivity, balance, and what it really means to thrive as a business owner.
Tune in to the episode and learn how to slow down — so you can accelerate forward.
