We follow up the last couple of week's ideas on significance and my new program called SlamDunk Significance with a quote from philosopher & poet, Friedrich Nietzsche about significance, too.

Well, this is it. I have been telling you for 11 weeks that I have a mission, project, venture, or whatever you want to call it in mind that the book Change Your World , by John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins gave me so many signs saying it's time to get going on. In today's episode, I reveal what that mission is. I am so excited to get this out to the world, and I hope you will be, too. You ca...

Ok, first of all, let me say, "Don't let the length of this episode scare you away."

I HIGHLY recommend you listen all the way through because there are some really important points and quotes in the las...
