Creating Your Own Success – Breaking Society’s Expectations – David Phelps: Ep #487

This week, I’m giving you an inside look at a special project I’ve been working on.

Hopefully, this episode gives you motivation and ideas to guide you on your own path to freedom.

What shapes us at a young age and early in our careers can be fascinating to reflect on. Listen in to the moments that were pivotal for my career and, ultimately, my freedom and purpose in my life. You’ll hear about important lessons, decisions, and insights that were a big part of who I am and what I do today.
