99. Why Study: The Power of Purpose

WILLIAM WADSWORTH
About this episode

What's your WHY? 

What drives you to get to your books each day and get your studying done?

I share some of the best answers to this question I've come across recently, to help get you inspired, and perhaps give you some ideas to find (or deepen) your own sense of purpose.

Because with a big enough WHY, any HOW becomes possible!
