“So much of what we feel restricts us, is our own limiting beliefs. If you can shed those mental shackles, then it’s a different world. The world opens up and it just becomes a place so much more full of opportunity and joy.” Hector Hughes is co-founder of Unplugged, a cabin retreat that reconnects people with nature and with themselves, removing the temptation of devices. Ironically, he was flying high at a high-growth tech startup when he started to feel burned out and in need of a rest… His journey so far is a fascinating one and his vision is compelling. In this enriching conversation, we covered a range of topics including: 

• the signs of burnout
• how a retreat in the Himalayas changed his perspective & laid the foundations for conceiving Unplugged
• what has drawn so many people to staying there
• the impact of our relationship with our devices
• the power of the human mind
• the ethos and vision for Unplugged
• human tribes
• valuing where we put our attention
• how leadership shows up everywhere; and
• why you shouldn’t care what anyone else thinks.

Enjoy!
