We all like music, TV and conversations, but you might be surprised by the damage noise can do (even when you're having fun).

Clogging your brain with loud sounds, alerts, and pings leads to a poor sleep schedule and sabotages your ability to focus. And you can't lead if you can't think.

While quiet time can feel like you're missing out on something, it gives your brain time to reflect and rest (which is impossible to get in a busy, chaotic world).

In this episode, you'll discover how to stop the buzz and use silence as a tool for a more peaceful and powerful life.
