  • Cheers to new beginnings

    I have been a long time fan of the One Thing, both the podcast and the practice. Jay coming back to the helm gives a refreshing look at what it means to dream and to do. So many of my friends are in stages of growth and reinvention - this podcast gives such practical ways to grow slowly and then suddenly into the life we want to imagine. Highly recommend a listen! And even better - a subscribe. :)

    Prime focus no longer “The One Thing”. Has some good content but definitely changed course after changing host. Sorry but the caliber has never recovered.
