I'm joined by Mark O'Donnell, the Visionary of EOS Worldwide as we talk about the divine hints of the EOS Life and how it has consistently guided him throughout his career to ensure that he is doing what he loves.
We spend a lot of time working on our business that we forget to work on the most important aspect of it - ourselves. Josh Lavine joins us on today's podcast to discuss the Enneagram Personality, a valuable system for holistic inner development.
Tim Loney's story started out the same as most entrepreneurs - until one day, a near-death experience forced him to rethink his priorities and life choices.
As entrepreneurs, sometimes our biggest enemy is ourselves. Join me and Mackenzie Childs as we delve deep into how our own limiting behaviors can sabotage our growth and success, and how to accept that above all else, we are only human.
