- A Big Help
I’m almost 69 years old and have come to the conclusion that I need to work harder at having a growth mindset, especially since I recently retired, but I’m not ready to retire from life. I came across this podcast and I love it. Diverse topics. Simple applications. Appreciate the “5 seconds” at each episode end. Highly recommend.
