Mindset + Growth = Limitless
I’ve been a long time follower of Nick from several social media channels so I was excited to listen to his pod.
The first episode with Ryan was great. Perfect combination of understanding what it takes to take ownership of your life and how both Nick and Ryan faced pressures to conform to what society expects you to do. Go to college -> Get an MBA -> Get a Corporate Job -> Climb the Corporate ladder. All things that are great for some people…
However, in this podcast it shows that when you get out of your own way your life’s possibilities are LIMITLESS!!!
