Send Jay comments via text
In a world where everything appears to be out of control, one thing we can always focus on is controlling that which we can and then putting all other things out of our head. In focusing on what we can control rather than what we can not, we learn to be the masters of our own destiny in all areas of our lives.
In today’s episode, host Jason Ramsden has a conversation with Laura Tierney, Founder and CEO of The Social Institute, whose mission is to empower students and their role models to use social media in a positive way. We cover lots of ground in this episode from mindset to empowering children, to how you can bring a positive spin to managing your home life. Hold on tight, friends, as this episode will not disappoint.
