  • 424. Future Self

    Send us Fan Mail

    Henrik Karlsson once shared a powerful mental shift: thank your past self for the work they did to get you here — then repay the favor by doing something today your future self will thank you for. In this episode, we explore the mindset of gratitude across time, and how turning appreciation into action can create a positive loop between who you were, who you are, and who you’re becoming.
