The GoodHard Story Podcast Episode 80: Strategic Joy with Bob Goff
It’s 2025, friends. Who do you hope to become in the year ahead?
You and I are probably not going to become people of resilience, compassion, and courage by accident. Our circumstances, beliefs, relationships, and decisions are shaping our souls—in both good and hard ways—every minute of the day. I want to understand exactly how it’s happening. And what I can do to create the identity I want.
Today we’re talking to my winsome friend Bob Goff—author, speaker, and unofficial spokesperson for belovedness. This mentor of mine knows how to live whimsically *and* strategically, and I am determined to learn how to do it too.
On this episode, Bob is sharing exactly how you can…
Find God’s one and only plan for your life and mine
Start asking “What if?” with HOPE instead of anxiety
Become a note taker of your own life (and why it will change everything)
If you’re ready to start living like you’re loved (because you are), this episode is for you!
