What’s the secret to keep moving further up? #1. Keep your eyes and ears open to new opportunities #2. Don't be average, go the extra mile #3. Always look at your glass as half as full, no matter what. Each episode runs between 12 - 18 minutes long and a new show comes out every two weeks on Friday mornings.
