Meet Hector Hughes, one of the minds behind Unplugged. At the time of recording, Hector was not only expanding the business but also reflecting on the best ways to manage personal relationships in the digital age. And the choices that demanded, that led to self-realisations - and a new entrepreneurial opportunity. Join me as Hector offers his unfiltered view on the challenges of startup life, the way the world is going, and the problem of us all focussing on the wrong things. "Life is about embracing each moment, be it a hurdle in business or a milestone in personal growth." Get ready for an episode full of serious reflections, searching for meaning, and trying to make each individual's life, have a bit more of a human experience to it. 00:00 – Start 01:00 - An intro to Hector 04:48 - Experiencing failure early leads to success 09:55 - A business idea is born 14:13 - Going to a silent Buddhist retreat 17:00 - The Buddhist idea of attachment 20:06 - Silence was refreshing and liberating 24:53 - Busyness and building a business 27:20 - The idea around Unplugged 31:33 - Using influencers to change culture 36:03 - Creating a company culture and finding fulfillment 43:30 - Enjoying the journey and not worrying about opinions The Story Club Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestoryclubpodcast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCakwJ6aUz--NZ6GYhvsT_DA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnysrose Hector LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hector-hughes-10082195 Website: https://unplugged.rest
