Summary

Today's episode is an interview I did with Mick Hunt on his podcast Mick Unplugged. I dive deep into what truly drives success as a leader and entrepreneur.

Whether you’re building a company, a personal brand, or just trying to grow, this conversation will give you the mindset shift you need to play the long game.
