The Andrew Faris Podcast

The Answer To The Single Most Important Question In Your Business

Listen Later

It's the most philosophical I've ever gotten on the podcast, and it's all around this question: why are you actually doing what you're doing in business? What's the point? And is it creating the kind of joy deep contentedness that you're longing for at the core of who you are?

This is an easier question to ask than to answer, but as my own business has filled up its capacity and my earning has exceeded my expectations, I'm working through it myself.

On this episode, I'm asking these questions and telling you my answers.
