In this episode, we explore the intersection of coaching and innovation with Justin Milano, an executive coach and CEO who teaches innovation at the University of Chicago. The episode begins with Justin sharing how famous inventors like Leonardo da Vinci boosted creativity by starting their day with unanswerable questions. This sets the stage for a deep dive into Justin's philosophy that human suffering often stems from resisting reality. We discuss how inner peace arises from accepting all experiences, even challenges, without needing external conditions to change.

We also discuss the importance of continuous personal growth, especially for solopreneurs, who can benefit immensely from a personal board of coaches. He talks about the fleeting nature of feeling like one has "arrived" and the inevitability of new challenges. Throughout the conversation, we uncover Justin's unique approach that blends modern science and ancient wisdom, his transformational coaching practices, and the significance of taking calculated risks illustrated through his serendipitous experiences in Bhutan.
