What is the real truth about success? There are multiple identities and pathways to “success.” But one thing is for certain, it doesn't look like the highlight reels you see on social media. Coming from a small town, my guest, Stoyan Yankov learned from an early age that hard work, consistency, and education were vital stepping stones for success. Raised in a post-communistic environment in Sliven, Bulgaria, Stoyan's upbringing shaped a mindset that thrives on perseverance, community, and ambition. And it's with that in mind, in this conversation, we're exploring the unsexy truth about success. This includes the inherent responsibilities and the sacrifices one often needs to make. Stoyan's journey is interesting as he initially wanted to become a Wall Street banker—“Greed is Good” ;) However, he soon immersed himself in cinema and became a movie and video producer. After some more twists and turns, he became a productivity and performance coach, the host of a top podcast, an author, and a global keynote speaker. At this point, Stoyan has helped 300+ companies and he's just getting started. This episode was both enjoyable and informative and I know you're going to get a lot of insights out of it. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (0:00:02) - Truth of Success and Leadership (0:11:42) - Discovering and Utilizing Your Unique Strengths (0:17:19) - Storytelling's Power in Business and Life (0:26:07) - Surviving and Building a Successful Career (0:33:19) - Purpose and Effective Planning (0:46:35) - Organizing Time With Intention and Purpose (0:54:28) - Performing and Communicating During Crisis (1:03:36) - Discussion About Podcasting and Media — Notable Quotes — "The power of storytelling is a tool that can help reframe perspectives and guide you to your goals." - Stoyan Yankov "In these trying times, maintaining high performance can be a challenge.

Tune in and discover: ✔️ Opportunities and challenges in the Balkan region from the Western perspective, ✔️ The role of culture in the country's economy, ✔️ Why an economic system would need plurality, ✔️ Using the entrepreneurship as a vessel to massively help, ✔️ How to practically support less developed countries, and more! Swedish by origin, American/British by education, and Balkanite by marriage and life! 30+years of living, working, failing, surviving, and succeeding in southeast Europe. Factory-owner, exporter, job creator, motivator, storyteller and now, startup ecosystem supporter with the Swiss Entrepreneurship Program. Being born and raised in Sweden, a country that scores in the top 10 of any global development index, made for a wonderful and worry-free childhood. As a teenager, with restlessness with life in a society of collective conformity and completion, Jakob applied to study for a high school year in the US, which was followed by BA studies at Lewis & Clark College out in Oregon. At the American university, Jakob was struck by the openness of the discourse, the closeness of the professors and their push for well-argued cases to improve the status quo, and the equal rejection of unsupported complaining. Graduation coincided with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rush for societal change in East Europe and the USSR. Jakob got a job in Moscow, constructing the first golf course in the USSR. The encounter with the negative effects of totalitarianism and the planned economy was eye-opening. Finding a way to operate and get a job done in a completely different culture was an incredible challenge, a learning journey that Jakob now treasures very much. Today, 30+ years later, he recognizes that those months in the Soviet capital were his watershed moment, he knew at that moment, that this is where he wanted to be – on the front lines of the re-introduction of individual freedoms, free market, and free-thinking. During the last three decades in the lands of southeast Europe aka The Balkans, Jakob has started and failed as a factory owner, succeeded as an exporter of multiple products, worked as a consultant on job creation programs, and advised national and local governments on the art of creating jobs (often in deprived geographical areas) and most recently managing a program which puts entrepreneurs first, as the primary change agents, in a transitional society.

In this special bonus episode on Productivity Mastery, Stoyan Yankov, the co-founder and co-host of The Leaders Who Care podcast and community platform, interviews Masami Sato - Founder and CEO of B1G1 (Buy1Give1). In this episode: ✔️ What makes Japanese companies the most sustainable in the world, ✔️ Reevaluating consumerism lifestyle and focusing on giving vs taking, ✔️ Why "thinking small" can create a much bigger impact, ✔️ How to build a team of truly caring people, ✔️ Practical steps to create a giving culture in any business, and so much more! Masami was born in Japan but her desire to expand her horizons took her on a global journey. She became deeply concerned about the inequalities and other challenges that existed in the world. Since then, she has endeavoured to create real WIN-WIN connections across all cultures, people and organisations to realise a different world. She has been a serial entrepreneur since 2001, starting and running several commercial enterprises, all aiming to transform the way businesses are operated today. And by taking a completely new look at the power of giving, she founded B1G1 (Buy1GIVE1) in 2007. Masami's approach to life is very different. She brings a new, almost upside-down strategy to everything she does. And she also radiates it through her writing and speaking. She has authored four books including, ‘JOY - The gift of acceptance, trust and love', ‘GIVING BUSINESS – Creating the maximum impact in the meaning-driven world' and ‘Better Business, Better Life, Better World'. Masami's career has followed her diverse talent and skills having been a teacher, translator, natural food chef (and a farmer!), author and award-winning entrepreneur as well as a mother of two teenage children. She is a two-time TEDx speaker and frequently invited to international events, podcasts and interviews. Tune in!

Who is Stoyan Yankov "A dreamer, action taker and passionate about living meaningful." He is a world class productivity & performance coach, a key note speaker and organiser of mastermind retreats to name a few occupations. Stoyan comes from Bulgaria and has moved in 2010 to Denmark to do his Master degree in Finances. When you think that you'll find him in a bank or similar then you are wrong. I would never have imagined him coming from the finance “world” when I met him. After his studies he started working in the film industry and had his own company for a few years before he moved to personal coaching and organising retreats and speaking. In our conversation he told me his path on how he came to where he is now. I have had a blast listening to Stoyan and was saddened when we had to stop our talk due to time restrictions. Our discussion was very deep and full of handy advices on how to craft your life, how to be creative and how to get rid of bad habits and create better ones and so much more. I am looking forward to our next interview, hopefully in person again. Here are links to the books, training and quotes we talked about. - The monk who sold his Ferrari - by Robin S. Sharma - Eat that Frog - by Brian Tracy “If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first” - Mark Twain The Norbekov's Method - https://norbekovsystem.com/en/norbekov_method/ - Passion Test - Worry setting - Wheel of life - A Self- Assessment Tool You can find Stoyan here: Personal Webpage: stoyanyankov.com LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stoyanyankov/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stoyan.stu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stoyan_yankov/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKK2o_FzwpDgFo0_CQqh5_g/videos?view_as=subscriber Samodiva Mastermind: http://samodivamasterminds.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/schirach/message
