Episode Details
Back to Episodes252 | Our view of "success" and why it may shock you
Description
In today’s episode we dug into the topic of “success” and what that means to both of us these days. This was a pretty deep one! It was cool to reflect on how our views of success have changed over time and talk about how we don’t usually agree with how the world defines “success.” We would love to hear your thoughts on this one so please let us know in the comments if you resonated with this one! We also share some books that have helped us with this topic—check out the links below.
Love you guys!
