About Trail Breaker Podcast

From the publisher's feed

In this podcast, I explore what it takes to be a Trail Breaker. Through intimate conversations with people carving new paths across the landscapes of business, art and sport, we dig into how to excel at seemingly disparate endeavors. What drives people who manage to succeed multidimensionally? Is it how a person thinks? Is it based on meticulous planning and follow through? Or is there some measure of delusional optimism?
