This episode is part of the POE series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark.

How do you build a successful business that suits your lifestyle?

Entrepreneurs like Jonathan Goodman are rewriting the rules, focusing on fulfillment and lifestyle instead of chasing someone else's idea of success.

In this episode of Beyond a Million, Brad chats with Jonathan, who shares insights that might just make you rethink everything.

Imagine living in a cave in Thailand with spotty internet and bats flying overhead. Sounds crazy, right? But for Jonathan, it was about creating a life he loved while building a business that aligns perfectly with his lifestyle, including traveling with his family and optimizing for life experiences.

As the founder of the Personal Trainer Development Center and an accomplished author, Jonathan shares his strategies for designing a life-first business, his process of testing new ideas in focused cycles, and the concept of seasonal prioritization for personal growth.

Tune in now and discover how to redefine success and design a life you truly love.
