Staying motivated in our work is hard, especially when the drive to do bigger and better things can lead to burnout. But James Stanley, the principal of a luxury architecture firm in New York, knows some tricks for taking a balanced approach. He shares these with Brilliant Thoughts host, Tristan Ahumada, as well as his thoughts on meditation, his vices and the story of an unexpected run-in with Donald Trump.
What is now a true design-build firm had much humbler beginnings, but has now grown into a company which has worked on a multitude of high-end projects. But building and leading such a company is not without its trials and difficulties—it requires confidence, persistence and understanding the staples of running a business. Stanley shares how he has developed those skills, and discusses how he has overcome disappointments in his career and the importance of working toward our own personal definitions of success.
