Master of One
This is the Master of One Podcast. This is my journey to master myself through different endeavors and books. Each episode I read a book and go through all the major lessons I learned from the book. The second half of the podcast I go through the lessons and interesting observances I learned since the last podcast. I love writing lessons down! By the next podcast/book I have so many lessons I've learned and want to share, enjoy!
