281. Your Wake-Up Call Is Coming 😱

from Win the Day Hosted by James Whittaker

I pulled over to inspect the damage and exchange insurance information, only to see the driver speed off. In this minisode, I'm going to share my reflections on this incident—and how we should think about the sliding door moments that can change everything.
