Description

The results you're seeing today are a direct reflection of seeds you planted long ago, and if that hits a nerve, this episode is for you.

Nikki and David are getting real about the wild truth that what you plant is what you get. From the legendary patience it takes to grow a Chinese bamboo tree to the behind-the-scenes grind of podcasting and showing up as your best self each day, this convo hits deep.

They break down how to audit your daily "seeds," why choosing your crop before planting is the move, how AI is just like soil, and why protecting your energy is non-negotiable. Oh, and if you've ever doubted yourself during the slow seasons, this is your sign to keep going. The bamboo might just be about to shoot up.

Betterment takes time, but with intention, patience, and a little self-awareness, your growth is coming 🎋
