Summary

This month marks the 4 year anniversary of The Next Right Thing! Today I'll share the state of the podcast using a simple framework I follow for reflecting on everything - what's been life-giving and life-draining, what I'm grateful for, what questions I'm holding and what arrows I'm following.

In addition to sharing some of your favorite episodes, I'll also pull out some key pivots over the last four years of hosting this podcast. I'll do that because I know that you come from a variety of backgrounds, professions, interests, and hopes, I also know that you are probably making something of your own right now and you wonder if you're doing it right, if it's working, if it's worth it, and if it's time to make a change. Listen in.
