João is a psychologist and learning experience designer. Co-CEO of Way Beyond, where he works on human development and organisational transformation. His background is in clinical psychology and psychoanalysis. He collaborates with Porto Business School and NOVA Doctoral School, and he tends to think meaningful conversation is underrated as a tool for change.\nTogether, they explore:\nWhat coherence feels like in everyday life\nThe tension between values, actions, and changing our minds\nWhy coherence is different from authenticity or consistency\nParenting, work, and small decisions as tests of alignment\n“Slow activism” and the impact of how we show up with others\nRather than offering quick answers or formulas, this conversation sits with uncertainty, contradiction, and the discipline of paying attention - particularly when no one is watching.\nThis episode is for anyone feeling the pull between who they are, how they live, and what the world is asking of them right now.\n\nFor more of João's work:\nNewsletter: https://useful-uselessness.com/\nWay Beyond Website: https://www.waybeyond.pt/ \nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaosevilhano/\nFor more from Mark McCartney:\nNewsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/\nWebsite: https://www.mmcleadership.com/\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney\n00:00  Questions as Companions\n07:00  Spirituality in Everyday Life\n13:00  Coherence as Purpose\n16:30  Flexibility and Awareness\n22:30  Discipline and Practice\n30:00  Helping Without Imposing\n36:00  Slow Activism and Stubbornness\n42:00  Living With Contradiction\n49:00  Reflection on Sacrifice...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bmT8FMFAsdpL8YpCcl1-OrgjJf3IhVZ_KJftDu8Wgy8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NDg2LzE2NzI4/MzUxMDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
