Summary
What if being a follower and not a leader was the perfect place for you to be?
We've heard so much about how we all need to lead, to found, to build, to create. From relationships to careers to business to health to life.
Being a follower is, in some way, considered being "less than." Something that those who won't or can't lead surrender to.
But, being a follower, at the right time, for the right reason, actually is a position of immense growth and power.
Sometimes, being led is the fastest path to leading. The real art lies in knowing when to step out of the shadow and into the spotlight.
That's what today's Good Life Project Riff is all about.

| 1:01.2 | and today we're talking about a topic which is kind of near and dear to me. |
