How the Podcast Got Started | E65 Andrew Biernat

I have something different for you today. This is a replay from my good friend Andrew Biernat’s show: Your Personal Growth, Personal Brand Podcast.

 

Andrew asked me a lot of great questions about The Struggle is Real including how the show got started, how I go about selecting topics and guests, and the one person who really influences my conversations.

 

Of course, it is hard for me to take my podcaster hat off. I turned the tables and asked Andrew a few questions as well. One thread in particular is a story about the dark side of personal growth.

 

We also conclude with a great conversation about some of our career missteps and how we’ve both used our podcasts to explore business adventures.

Want to achieve financial independence without missing out on the fun?
