Today’s episode is a slight departure from our usual format, but I think it’s one that you’re really going to enjoy. Regular listeners of the show will know that I often conclude with the same question, being: “What is the most meaningful lesson that you have learned over the past 12 months, across any domain of your life?”. I’ve received so many interesting answers to this question that I decided to compile them into a single episode, that features answers from 15 of our previous guests. One of my favorite quotes is “we need to be reminded more than we need to be taught”, which suggests that many of our most meaningful lessons are ones that we already know at some level, but often need to experience in some way to once again appreciate their importance. What I loved most about today’s episode is not just how simple and fundamental the answers were, but also how they spanned so many different domains of life: Business, personal, family, and spiritual, just to name a few.
