Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcast Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt smaller? No one said anything.No one judged you.But you suddenly felt quieter. More aware. A little behind. Most people interpret that feeling as intimidation. It’s not. It’s...

I’ve been thinking about this question since you asked it at the IEM summer seminar 6 months ago. I still don’t have a solidified answer yet.

There are a lot of ways I could meet these goals without really being happy. Still pondering…
Keep pondering – we will work on you more this summer;)
