The Effort IS the Reward

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode
How do you reward yourself for putting in hard work? Is it with a glass of wine, a new pair of shoes, perhaps binge-watching your guilty pleasure show on Netflix? You definitely deserve to treat yourself, but today I’m sharing why I believe that the best reward of all is an internal one: your effort in and of itself.
