Burnout, anxiety, stress is at an all time high. People are the greatest asset of an organisation. The better people look after themselves, the better they perform in all areas of life - both at work and home. Every single tiny choice we make during the day is shaping our lives, directly impacting how we feel and experience life. After getting the biggest wake up call of losing everything in my life in 2016 I had no choice but to face my habits and make a change. The changes at first seemed so insignificant that I didn't believe they would make a difference. BUT they did. The Positive Habits Podcast is for people who want to live a better life, with higher energy levels, less stress, better relationships and ultimately to supercharge their performance in all areas of life. I'm on a mission to help people improve their wellbeing with one small habit change.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-16T02:31:32.026894+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216"},"episode":{"title":"The Hidden ROI of Generosity with Stoyan Yankov","slug":"the-hidden-roi-of-generosity-with-stoyan-yankov","published_at":"2026-03-03T02:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216/the-hidden-roi-of-generosity-with-stoyan-yankov","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0c68b577804762725c1cc42eb465c650c9f6dea4a17574933f9126848f1e694f/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIyYzhlODM1MC1mOWZjLTQ0ZmYtOWMzZi1kYTg5MzQ0ODc5MWUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI4YjBlZTM0YS0yNTk0LTQ2MTgtYTUxMi1jZGJhMmQwYjNmMjEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NWMyM2Y4NWM0NTE2MjFkOThhOGFjNDEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlhNWFiZjBmMTNiNGM5YWYwZjNiYjUxL2thdC10aG9ybmVzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTMtMl9fMTYtMjUtMzYubXAzIn0=.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0c68b577804762725c1cc42eb465c650c9f6dea4a17574933f9126848f1e694f/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIyYzhlODM1MC1mOWZjLTQ0ZmYtOWMzZi1kYTg5MzQ0ODc5MWUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI4YjBlZTM0YS0yNTk0LTQ2MTgtYTUxMi1jZGJhMmQwYjNmMjEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NWMyM2Y4NWM0NTE2MjFkOThhOGFjNDEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlhNWFiZjBmMTNiNGM5YWYwZjNiYjUxL2thdC10aG9ybmVzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTMtMl9fMTYtMjUtMzYubXAzIn0=.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Kat sits down with productivity expert, keynote speaker and community-builder Stoyan Yankov to unpack a surprisingly powerful truth: productivity isn’t about doing more - it’s about living intentionally. They explore the “giver vs taker” dynamic in business and life, why scarcity thinking blocks opportunities, and how to protect your time without becoming transactional. Plus, Stoyan shares practical tools you can use immediately: the “MVP hat” for networking, building boundaries around advice requests, and his “Daily Menu” method for planning your time with outcomes (not vague to-do lists). What you’ll learn Why productivity = intention , not efficiency The “givers / takers / matchers” idea and how to be a mindful giver (with boundaries) How generosity and connection create long-term opportunities (without being “salesy”) What’s really killing productivity right now: distraction, lack of discipline, and reactive days Stoyan’s Daily Menu approach: goals → priorities → time blocks (and why elimination beats addition) A simple boundary system for “Can I pick your brain?” requests (without guilt) Why scrolling feels like rest… but often fuels anxiety and what to do instead The power of identity-based habits (“I don’t do X” vs “I’m trying to do less X”) The most underrated truth: the basics (sleep, movement, breathing) still run the show Why 10 minutes is enough to create real momentum “Be the Most Valuable Person in the room” ABOUT THE GUEST Stoyan Yankov is a former movie producer who turned into a productivity & performance consultant, professional speaker, and bestselling author of two business books: PERFORM and PERFORM in Times of Crisis . Stoyan spent a decade in Denmark , where he earned his MSc in Finance from Aarhus School of Business.
