Nothing is Neutral
There are many ways we can become better every day. Learning a new skill, making a different choice, or giving a little more effort can all lead to self improvement. One of the best ways we can become a better version of ourselves is to soak up the wisdom of others and learn from their experiences. This podcast entertains that premise as we have discussions with people of all ages from many different backgrounds who have something to offer us from their journey. Here we discuss, dissect, and extrapolate life lessons from those who have achieved success in all walks of life. We either move towards our goals or away from them, slipping into the trap of complacency. It’s up to us to choose the direction we want to take, because Nothing is Neutral.
