Nutrition Grad Guide

With my first non-working holiday around the corner (and two other getaways before that) I've been in prep mode to get everything organised for my travels. When we have a business of our own we have many perks, but unfortunately not the perk of annual leave pay like we get when working a job. So in this episode I share my strategy for how I'm navigating my business while I adventure around Europe.

In this episode, I share insights and lessons from a recent experiment I ran within my business. I ran a 31 day challenge called Motivation March, held in telegram that involved a daily training via voice note. Hear me unpack what I learnt, what I would do differently, what worked and many other valuable tangents that I'm led on.
