So often in life, we follow a path that has been deemed ‘for us’ and down the road, we wonder if this path is really what we’re meant to be doing. My good friend Alastair Macdonald joins me on the show to talk about reinvention and the importance of taking responsibility for your education and evolution. You will learn about how to choose the right path, the importance of mentorship, and how to succeed in the right way.
Listen in as we go over what qualifies people to be what they are and how we so often misqualify ourselves in many ways. Alastair also shares a piece of his own upbringing and provides insight into the importance of allowing children to have their own experiences. You will also hear about how to get unstuck from a rut so that you can pivot into better and more meaningful things.
