Summary

As the title says, this episode is a somewhat random one, but we touch on a lot of important topics today. You’re going to get an update on an upcoming road trip that includes a speaking engagement for Kate, how Mike’s health is progressing, and why we need to really be informed about what we’re putting into our bodies and minds (and not just take what we’re told at face value). We talk about the power of keeping an open mind, the season our lives and business is in right now, the one guest that Mike would love to bring on the podcast, and much more! You can get your own copy of Do Less and still receive incredible bonuses at http://katenorthrup.com/book!
