In this episode, I’m sharing an exclusive excerpt from my book, The Art of Bleisure. We dive into the most powerful phrase I’ve ever heard: “You can’t.” You’ll hear how these two words have driven me to push beyond limits, combining travel, business, and self-care to live a life of freedom. This episode is all about proving the doubters wrong and empowering you to do the same.

Are you playing the long game?

Or wishing everything would hurry up and happen already.

With 15 years of business under my belt and having just achieved my 18 year long dream of writing a book, I'm realising that there's value in the long game.

Although I've had this huge achievement of late, I can easily slip into what's next, hurry up and create something, and more, more, more.

Yemi Penn: Be unreasonable with your dreams
A case study from my book, The Art of Bleisure

Yemi doesn’t understand the word ‘can’t’. It would only challenge her curiosity and she will find a way that she can, if it serves her.

I met Yemi at the Business Chicks Movers & Breakers Conference in 2022. We went deep, fast. That’s the only way with Yemi. She is so open and curious that you can’t help but be drawn into that orbit. Yemi has taken her career 20x and now as an International speaker, she’s changing minds and lives around the...
