Welcome to Part One of a four-part Q&A series, where I respond to questions from my MBRX students.
From the most asked to the not-so-common, these answers are packed with insights that can really shift your perspective.
My team has created a super handy resource that lists all the questions I answered in this episode, along with their timestamps. This way, you can skip straight to the questions that interest you without having to listen/watch the entire episode.
