Encore: Loyalty Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

Being loyal has a bad rep these days. Between bad relationships and bosses, people are more loyal to themselves. And it has led people into having a "me" mindset instead of a "we" mindset.

In this episode, you'll discover why loyalty makes you a more impactful and influential person today.

Storytelling.

Encore: Teachable Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

Having a teachable spirit is about the hunger for knowledge. You care more about learning something than what it offers you.

And the more you learn, the more you find value in everyday experiences. Your curiosity leads to a better life.
