This week on Guidance Counselor 2.0, Taylor Desseyn sits down with Steven Puri — founder of The Sukha Company and a former studio executive who worked on films like Die Hard 5 and The Wolverine before diving into tech, raising $21MM in venture funding, and running three startups.

Steven has spent years studying the science of focus and performance — from Csikszentmihalyi to Cal Newport — to figure out what actually works for high performers under pressure. In this episode, he and Taylor dig into flow states, healthy productivity habits, and how to stay sharp (without burning out) as AI changes the rules of work.

If you've ever wondered how to focus better, work smarter, or protect your energy in a fast-changing job market — this conversation is packed with real, actionable tools.
