From a young age, we're stuck on this idea that we have to get everything right, right from the start. Because you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Truth is, in so many aspects of our lives, especially our careers, that's just patently false. As I discuss in today's episode, you can indeed have second acts.
Our past has a tremendous bearing on where we are today. That's a fact. But if we are to have ambition, if we're to move forward, we need to let it go.
And that begins, as I discuss in today's episode, with us. We need to adjust our mindset to be one of self-control and empowerment. It's begins with us.

It's something that has to be worked towards and in the show, I discuss a range of ideas as to how to do exactly that.
In today's episode, I talk about how we make so many key decisions in our lives, not based on what we want, but on what others will think about them.

Not a huge decision in most contexts, but it was definitely one that taught me about why we make the choices we make - and WHY we should make the choices we make.
This month, I'd like to speak to a few fundamental ideas about how we work and the implications of our behaviors when we work.

Today's episode is from something I wrote about back in 2018, when Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain - two people who had it all - took their own lives. I discuss how happiness is never what it appears to be and that we don't know the roof is leaking until we're on the inside.
