Bonus episode.  I compiled some of my favorite insights from the 13 episodes in January (not the Q&A).    So much gold gets shared in these episodes. I wanted a way to remember, distill, reflect, and resurface.   Share, tweet, or text this episode. That helps it grow. If it grows, the guests will continue to be incredible. And if the guests continue to be incredible, I can keep doing the show.
