On this week's show we are digging even deeper into the lessons I learned from being on break.

On this week's show, who needs a "pick-me-up"? It's easy for us to sometimes slip into a rut and wonder if what we are currently doing is what we are suppose to be doing.

Because you have not given it your al...

On this weeks show, we have all heard the phrase, " Jack of All Trades, Master of None". In my opinion we, as a society, should erase this from our memory banks. It's almost 2022, the world is different and times have changed. If you are not a "Jack of at least 4 trades", you will be "a master of being broke"! This concept is turned upside down by this weeks topi...
