FBF89 – The Heart of An Olympian

I love to watch the Olympics. This week has been awesome seeing these great athletes perform at such high levels. This led to a conversation with my 8-year old daughter about what it means to be the best in the world. I told her it meant to have the heart of a champion. This week on the podcast we talk about having the heart of an Olympian.

Learning From Leaders

[shareable cite=”Steve Jobs”]Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life… Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary [/shareable]
