#OpenToWork Podcast Ep. 2 - The Big "F" Word

For this week’s episode I want to discuss a concept I’ve adopted called The Big “F” word.  We are going to dive into what many people’s Big "F" Word appears to be at default (and yes, it is four letters), why it gets in the way of sticking to the plan, and how to evolve our perspective to what it can become within our daily mindset. QOTW: What is or was your biggest fear about being #OpenToWork? Audio editing note: Apologies on the poor sound quality during certain portions of the AI segment, here are the responses you may have had trouble understanding initially: - Just keep swimming - Attitude, because if you have a bad attitude around coworkers no one will want to work with you, and you can develop experience. - Being able to change the color of foods Thank you for listening and supporting this journey! #HallerIfYouHearMe HallerIfYouHearMe@gmail.com Robert Haller | LinkedIn
