Changed My Life

This podcast and the optimal living daily podcasts (same team) changed my life. I used to spend so much time searching for blog posts that helped with finances, mental health, creativity, etc. But when I found this podcast I didn’t have to curate my own content anymore because these are great. I’ve binge listened to each OLD series and don’t regret a second of it. I just wish they did longer episodes but I tend to save them up for a week or two and binge listen for an hour or two as I’m always left wanting more when I just listen to one episode.
