    Yes! If you are good and enjoy doing mechanic, go ahead and help your community with it! Are you good at growing veggies? Grow twice as much to share with your neighbors and local market. If you have severe social anxiety, why would you put yourself in the fire and do things in public, which will just drain your energy down, like a fish out of the water. Stay in your comfort zone, find something that you enjoy doing and feel comfortable doing that can help your community … and just do more of it.

    All together we can make this world A LOT better.

      @@Im-just-Stardustso you’re telling me.. a fan of this channel, who actually watches this channel can’t say how he feels about a channel he used to watch and still watches? Wow… that’s insane you are judging an actual fan criticizing something he watches.

    Hard core democrat here, This is actually why Trump won! These liberal college students who’ve been brainwashed into supporting this nonsense have made us look like victims. You people need to remember this is America! You can be anything you want. The Democratic Party used to stand for something now we look like idiots when these kids push this nonsense.

    This poor girl thinks action for the sake of action is righteous. Presented no justification other than “I had a problem with that.” This is video evidence that education isn’t a cure for entitlement.

    “democracy is a lot more fun when you take it into your own hands” well democracy can only BE when you take it into your own hands. Democracy places the power and responsibility into everyone’s care.

This week’s guest is Ayal Yogev, co-founder and CEO of Anjuna Security, who has experienced both sides of the startup journey: scaling quickly during the boom years and then making the incredibly difficult decision to lay off a significant portion of his team when the market shifted.

From growing to 75 employees to scaling back and rebuilding, Yogev learned firsthand that the hardest part of leadership isn’t hiring fast, it’s making tough decisions with care, transparency, and integrity.

In this episode, Isabelle Johannessen and Yogev unpack what it really means to lead through layoffs with compassion and how founders can support their teams even in the most challenging moments. They also explore the lessons learned from scaling too quickly and how to build a more resilient company the second time around.
