Summary

The question that we often truly need to ask ourselves is not, “Will I make an impact on the world?” but rather, “What kind of impact will I make?” In today’s episode, we’re discussing your blast radius and how what you say and do can have far-reaching effects on the world and those around you. We’re not as small as we often tend to think we are and we have the power to choose to see the world from a positive point of view. I will share tips for making a difference in the world, being a catalyst for change, and how to reframe your life to focus on your impact.

What’s In This Episode:

Realizing the far-reaching effects of chain reaction

0:30.8	to Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, and this is episode 142. Today, we're talking about your blast radius. Now, you might be
0:42.6	familiar with that term, blast radius. But if you're not, a blast radius is the distance
