Thank you both for the time and energy you have put into creating such a valuable podcast! The “Ending the Day Right” was such a helpful way for me to think about how I use my time. Being intentional with time is so crucial as a business owner! It was really challenging to think about “time poverty” and how we can be more in control of using our time purposefully. I’ve started listening to the book 168 hours! Thanks for the great resource! I respect and value you both and am so grateful for the ways you invest in others. Thank you!!!
P.S. Any chance you would be willing to share the spotify playlist of music you listen to during dinner? I have similar memories of my grandpa listening to the same kind of music! So sweet! 🙂
