In today's episode of Live+Work More Human (formerly We Are Human Leaders), Alexis and Sally sit down with CEO and author Jon Rosemberg to discuss what it means to shift from survive, to thrive. And the impact this has for our careers and lives.

We explore the concept of survival mode as an evolutionary mechanism that many people find themselves in today. Jon generously shares his personal journey from survival to thriving, emphasizing the importance of agency, social connection, and intrinsic worth. And, our discussion explores the distinction between thriving and success, the significance of psychological flexibility, and the development of a map to guide individuals towards a thriving life. Jon encourages listeners to recognize their intrinsic value and practice agency in their daily lives, ultimately fostering a ripple effect of positive change in their communities.

Key takeaways:
That survival mode is a natural evolutionary response.
How we can recognize when we are in survival mode.
The reasons thriving is about agency, meaning, and social connection.
Why success is often defined by external factors like money and status.
The reasons agency is the ability to make intentional choices that matter.
How psychological flexibility allows us to adapt and find new paths.
Reasons our identities should be complex and not solely tied to our work.
That intrinsic worth exists beyond our productivity and achievements.
How mall moments of agency can lead to significant change over time.
