About this episode

In this episode of the HigherUp podcast, I share with you my take on the path toward success. Success looks different for everyone. But no matter what it looks like, the principles are the same. It is paved with uncertainty, anxiety, and struggle. And that is okay.


This episode is more about mindset than anything. Whether or not we succeed is and always will be our choice.
