Ep 41 - Are You a Lighthouse or a Tow Bo...

Rob Dial
About this episode
In this episode we speak about how many people spend too much time as a tow boat - trying to pull people to safety and using up their own energy in the process. Instead of being a tow boat, it is better to be the lighthouse - to be the best version of ourselves, live our lives to the fullest and shine as an example for others to follow.
