Are you searching for practical ways to reclaim your focus and find your flow while working remotely? In this insightful episode of The Quiet And Strong Podcast, host David Hall welcomes Steven Puri—founder and CEO of The Sukha Company, tech entrepreneur, and award-winning film executive—to unpack the real-world challenges and strategies of thriving in a remote work environment.

You’ll hear Steven’s unique journey from Hollywood film production to launching his own tech startups, and how his distinctive perspective as an introvert shaped the creation of his focus-boosting platform, Sukha. Together, David and Steven discuss the myth of multitasking, the science behind flow states, and actionable methods for prioritizing what truly matters on your to-do list (hint: it starts with picking just three things). They also explore ways introverts can own their need for deep work and recharging without sacrificing meaningful connection with colleagues, friends, or family.

Whether you’re an introvert seeking to maximize your best times of day, a leader managing a distributed team, or simply anyone who wants to work smarter instead of longer, this episode is packed with encouragement, proven strategies, and inspiration to support your journey.

Listen in, discover your strengths, and be strong.
