How To Be Moderately Successful.
Building a business is hard.
Maintaining healthy relationships with those that you care about is hard.
Staying fit and healthy in your body, your mind and your emotions is hard.
This podcast is about finding and sharing tools, strategies and experiences that may help you to achieve and maintain moderate success in your life, whatever that means to you.
There is a ton of content created by the billionaires, the ultra successful athletes, and by people that are at a level that the vast majority of us will just never get to. And if you're anything like me, you're totally okay with that.
This is a place where we talk about how to build a great business, but not necessarily a massive one. A place to talk about how we build a life that is balanced and integrated, but not necessarily optimised to levels that are not realistic for most of us.
In short, it's a place where we explore how to be moderately successful.
The work will always remain yours, and for the most part, it's simple, but not easy.
I sincerely hope it's valuable to you.
