How Did I Get Here?

To celebrate my 6 month milestone I thought I'd answer some of your questions and you guys came through and made me dig deep...thank you.  

Be sure to join me and a new guest on Wednesday July 14 for the next episode of How Did I Get Here.  I appreciate you!

Sean shares that we should reach out and connect with the person that can help you achieve and bridge that gap between where you're thinking about going and where you actually want to be.

Bob would like us to get out of our car and be a pedestrian for a week...and see how different the world is when you're not in the safety of your own car.

Books Bob mentioned:
"No Contest" by Alfie Kohn
"The Sum of Us" by Heather McGhee

Kathy shares that you should sit down and be quiet with yourself...focus on you and think about what you like, find what makes you tick.

Jay shares that you should take note of the things you're good at - understanding that everyone has their own path, their own strengths and their own weakness - know that what's meant for your best friend, your brother or your cousins might not be for you.

Kris shares...if you have some sort of desire, don't let anyone squash that for you...instead look into how you can do it to its fullest and take those chances while you can, when you're young.

Don't just listen to one person that tells you 'this is what you're going to do'.  If that does not sound like your path, make your own!
