In this episode, I'm sharing the first soundtrack from my brand new book, The Three Minute Mindset: Obstacles are features.

In this episode, I'm kicking off a brand new four part series on prioritization, starting with a powerful tool from my book Soundtracks, a good question is a trojan horse for truth.
