This week on the CEOs Off the Record Podcast, I'm interviewing Dr. Raquel Dailey, CEO of Growth Compass and Best Life Abroad, to discuss intention, strengths-based work, and how to avoid burnout and not work on autopilot.

Dr. Dailey explains she created Growth Compass after seeing talented high performers operating from exhaustion in workplaces that reward output while ignoring energy, leading to disengagement and turnover.

During our interview, Dr. Daley defines intentional living as choosing direction proactively, aligning calendars with values, and auditing “yes” decisions; she distinguishes being good at something from being energized by it and suggests small, strategic shifts to integrate strengths.
