Grand Slam Journey
This podcast discusses various topics around - sports, business, technology, mindset, health, fitness, and tips for growth. Topics range from what sports have taught us and how we transitioned from a singular focus and pursuit of our athletic goals and dreams to the decision to end our sports careers and move into the next phase of our lives. My guests share how they found their passion and purpose, tips for maximizing potential - holistically - physically and mentally, how they transitioned from one chapter of their lives to the next, and how to drive success in sport, business, technology, and personal life.

32. Coffee with Anna & Dana: The Gift of Mortality - how to live fully
Before you listen to this episode, I highly suggest watching this TED Talk first.
Dana Jaber Diab is an Information and Communications Technology Business Leader with an unquenchable curiosity for all things tech, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
Anna-Maria Moonen has had various leadership roles in the Information Technology and Telco services industry. She thrives in environments that enable innovative thinking with a focus on growing the most important asset of the company – the people.
This episode plays with the idea of what we would do if we were diagnosed with an untreatable illness and had to face our mortality:
- What would you change?
- What would you stop doing?
- What would you create time for?
- Who would you spend more time with?
- How would you enjoy the present moment?
- What is preventing you from starting all this now?
- We use this conversation setting as an opportunity to slow down and reflect, explore our regrets and how we think about past decisions that, from hindsight, may not have been the best, prioritizing and saying NO, creating time for inspiration, how we recharge, and fun vacation plans
