On dismantling toxic workplaces and getting better work life integration, with Bjorn Lee

“As entrepreneurs we don’t like the phrase ‘work life balance’ because it indicates that work and life are like Ying and Yang. We like work life integration.” Serial entrepreneur, Bjorn Lee, joined our first live episode of NAKED, as part of Audacity’s Permacolony week in Singapore.

About Episode

Bjorn Lee is a serial entrepreneur who successfully exited his previous business and founded MindFi, a mental wellbeing platform for modern workplaces. Bjorn joined the NAKED podcast as part of Audacity’s Permacolony week in Singapore, to share his entrepreneurial journey. He talks about how his friends had to stage an intervention to physically remove him from his toxic, unhealthy life, because he couldn’t see a way out, and learning to recognise compulsive behaviours. Bjorn also discusses the practices that he has found that work for, including journaling and therapy, and the importance of friends.

Specific topics covered in this episode include:

Toxic, compulsive behaviours and an unhealthy lifestyle;
