  • How To Work Out What You Want To Want From Life - Kyle Eschenroeder - #189

    Kyle Eschenroeder is a marketer and a writer.

    You do not want to live a life that you regret at the end of it. But working out what you WANT to want is a topic no one ever talks about.

    When you follow your default desires, you're much more likely to find yourself at a place in life that you didn't really want to be, or mean to get to. Today, we learn how to step into our programming and actively design our direction in life. I love this topic.
