Get Overit
33 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 8 ratingsIf there is anything this past year has reminded us it is that life is hard and just when we think things are going the right way, a wall appears right in front of us stopping our progress. Maybe it’s something going on in our personal lives. Maybe it’s a roadblock we’re running into at work. But undoubtedly, it comes down to one decision...either we’ll be content standing behind that wall and living with it, or we’ll break through and figure out a way to Get Overit. The Get Overit Podcast tackles these issues head on.
Every episode we will bring someone on from different walks of life and talk to them about their journey both in life and business. We won’t revel in successes or gloat about achievements, but rather, focus on the journey and what it took to get there. Most importantly we’ll discuss how in the face of failures and challenges they encountered along the way, they were able to Get Overit and take their business and lives to the next level.
