Emma Gannon: Finding success on your own terms

Celebrated broadcaster and author Emma Gannon had achieved everything she had hoped for in her professional life: multiple best-selling books, a glittering portfolio career, a trail-blazing podcast, and speaking engagements that took her around the world. She was successful, no doubt about it. But despite her many accomplishments, and a hunger to do more, she couldn’t help but feel burnt out and unhappy.Through some self-reflection and conversations with successful guests on her award-winning podcast, Ctrl, Alt, Delete, Emma discovered that the problem might be the way we look at success as a society. She’s even written a book about it, The Success Myth, out in May 2023. On this episode of Sound Advice: Entrepreneurs Unfiltered, Emma shares her journey from burnout to a better relationship with work, debunking some of our most widely held beliefs about success along the way.
