We cover some absolute classic crushes in this episode. Not just the horror that is the made up boyfriend (we've all done it, right?

4M ago25:03

25:03

Welcome y'all to the great debate! Lead is better because you don't have to look at a screen!

Be boring! Repetition is boring but you are worth it. When you continue to do the same thing it's like you are paving a road in your brain, so that pretty soon you are just on autopilot. I was recently asked by my boss for feedback and I got to thinking about my best way of learning which is repetition. I work with a lot of people who are wanting c…
