Hey Reader! 👋 I've been taking a bit of a summer break, then I friend reminded me that I have this awesome weekly podcast and if nothing else I should share some tidbit with you. Today my guest, Mike Dwyer, gave two pieces of advice for transformative personal growth:

Hey Reader, you don't want to miss this one! 👋 Let’s be honest: most of us are "hungry shoppers" in the supermarket of life. We show up starving for purpose, without a list, and we grab whatever looks shiny in the moment—a new job, a bigger paycheck, a different neighborhood—only to find that our "cycles of dissatisfaction" are getting shorter and shorter.
