Ed gives his 2 rules for managing stress and toxic people especially at Christmas and during the holidays. The main rule is walk away from any situation which is designed to hurt you or where you feel uncomfortable, if you want to stay then make sure you are protected and make your position is very well known to those who do not support you.

Jevon McCormick shouldn't have succeeded. He was born the mixed-race son of a drug-dealing pimp father and a orphaned, single mother on welfare. He was raised in the slums of Dayton, Ohio, suffered incredible abuse and racism, and had multiple stints in the juvenile justice system. He barely graduated high school and has no college degree.
But he did succeed.
Starting by scrubbing toilets, Jevon hustled and worked his way into better opportunities, eventually finding incredible success in the banking and mortgage industry. He was on top of the world.
And then the mortgage industry fell apart. He lost his job, and literally all of his money. He had to borrow from his friends to make rent. He was nearly back to where he started: with nothing.
But this time, he had something that he did not have growing up in the slums of Dayton: the knowledge of what it takes to succeed. Jevon used this setback combined with what he learned as the springboard for him to reach even bigger heights--eventually becoming President of two multimillion-dollar companies.
Jevon talks to Ed Andrew about education, taking responsibility, the 5 pillars of life and his success formula. Currently, Jevon is the President and CEO of Scribe Media, the worlds largest self publishing platform.

Ed also introduces the book Kintsugi which is about overcoming adversity and showing vulnerability as a strength, how we are all built to deal with and overcome pain, whether it is a job loss, bereavement, financial loss or loss of a relationship.
Kingtsugi is the Japanese art of embracing imperfections and finding happiness by author, psychologist and wellness consultant Tomas Navarro.
"Japanese Kintsugi masters delicately patch up broken ceramics with gold adhesive, leaving the restoration clearly visible to others. Psychologist Tomás Navarro believes that we should approach our lives with the same philosophy. Everyone faces suffering, but it is the way in which we overcome our troubles, and heal our emotional wounds, that is key. We shouldn't conceal our repairs, they are proof of our strength.
Navarro presents real solutions to genuine problems that he has seen in his professional practice. His anecdotes demonstrate that it is possible to transform adversity or setbacks into a strength. His psychological understanding and perspective will leave you feeling courageous and prepared, should you experience misfortune, be it heartbreak, a job loss or bereavement.
Often practised alongside Ikigai (or the art of finding one's life purpose), Kintsugi shows you how happiness can be found again, often against all odds. A painful experience can in fact make you a more determined individual, ready to face the world with optimism.
