Play like a child to improve your personal life, career or business

Over the past few years, Charlie Hoehn has worked with more than a dozen best selling authors, including Tim Ferriss and Tucker Max, helping them market (and sometimes create) their books.

In this interview, Charlie opens up about his struggle with serious anxiety issues which led him to burn out before bouncing back to an extremely profitable app business. Which he then walked away from. This interview is about the importance of ‘play’ and how, as adults, we should never forget how to bring out the inner child within.

‘Play It Away: A Workaholic’s Cure for Anxiety’ is Charlie’s new book, available on Amazon.
