Summary

Are you living YOUR definition of success, or someone else’s?

Today we’re here with Jonathan Goodman: an entrepreneur, coach and author who’s lived everywhere, failed forward, and let curiosity chart his course. Traveling the world for 13 years, Jonathan's journey across continents and careers has led him to rethink not just what it means to succeed, but how to find joy in every season of life. 

Together, we’ll uproot old ideas of ambition, explore why true friends might be “useless” to your goals, and discover just how much richer life gets when you focus your energy on what truly matters instead of approval-seeking and living on autopilot. 

In this episode, you'll discover:
  • Why daring to travel the world builds adaptability and resilience in families
  • How to prioritize personal fulfillment over external validation and approval
  • Why designing your life around seasons improves everything
  • And much more...
