I launched Personal Development Mastery in February 2020 and I take this opportunity to… reminisce!    I revisit the introductory episode and I discuss how the podcast, from a joyous exploration fuelled by the freshness of doing something new, transformed into a passion and eventually into a mission.    Creativity, connections, self-expression, communication, networking, fun, opportunities, knowledge, inspiration, contribution, growth, mastery - there are some words that come to mind describing the journey these last three years.   Happy birthday Personal Development Mastery podcast! ⠀   Ask me anything and get a voice reply: https://wisdom.app/agikeramidas/ask ⠀ 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁:⁣ I am Agi Keramidas, a zealous podcaster and a knowledge broker.
