Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After nearly 10 years in Los Angeles, I made a decision that surprised a lot of people—I left.
In this Get Better Today episode, I share why I moved to Las Vegas, how comfort can quietly hold you back, and what changing my environment taught me about focus, growth, and betting on yourself.
If you've ever felt stuck, distracted, or like you've outgrown your current situation, this episode is for you.
Get Better Today.
