The main focus of today's episode was sharing my various streams of income. I emphasized the importance of not recording this part, but you can share a bit on social media. I wanted to make it clear that I'm not sharing this to boast, but to provide insight and inspiration. We discussed the significance of talking about money and how it can lead to increased activity and better financial outcomes.
I shared a story about a young music producer who impressed me with his preparedness and work ethic. This led to a discussion on the importance of mentorship and how I was able to help him by connecting him with a professional mentor.

In today's episode, we dive into "March's Marching Orders," a crucial discussion about designing our month before it fully unfolds. The key message is the importance of intentionality in shaping our lives, rather than letting life happen to us. We emphasize that without setting goals and being deliberate, we risk drifting through life and ending up in undesirable places.
We start by reflecting on how, as children, our lives were designed by others—our parents decided our schedules, our meals, and our education. As adults, however, we have the power to design our own lives. The focus is on not just living life with intention but specifically designing the month of March with clear goals.
