January 19, 2024 08:00 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MB

#752 Many of us would hate to come across as too salesy. In fact, we often overcorrect to the point where it's difficult for people to buy from us.

January 05, 2024 08:00 - 10 minutes - 9.81 MB

#748 I want to start the new year with a truth bomb—your past is not your future!
