Helpful solutions for today’s problems

This podcast has made me so much more productive and focused. Before listening to Josh, I was stressed out, overwhelmed, and worried about so many things stuck in my head. He has helped me to clarify the outcome, get it written down, and develop NEW habits to ensure I don’t fall off the wagon. I love that he uses the best research and tools from so many different thinkers. Looking forward to continue growing and listening!
