Using Stress To Your Advantage With Luke Mathers

​Stress is an unavoidable part of business ownership and entrepreneurship. As a business grows, so do the potential triggers, and we often hear about the health problems associated with stress. However, you can harness this energy to yield positive results. It is possible to embrace stress and use it to motivate yourself - putting this mental state to productive use. Before you can use stress in this way, you have to understand what stress is in the first place. From acute stress to chronic stress, there are a lot of differentiators on the subject to cover. We tackle the powerful uses of stress head-on in this episode of The Few Podcast with award-winning author, Luke Mathers. In his book, Stress Teflon, Luke extensively examines the human psyche, and the role of stress plays in our behaviour. Luke introduces an intriguing concept called “peak stress”. In this state, you are energised and have the physiological response to achieve more. Luke believes you can get control of stress and use it to become the best version of yourself.
