#36 FLEX your identity: як програми обміну сприяють розширенню горизонтів

Пам'яті мого батька / In memory of my father. Якісні зміни середовища довкола, мандрівки та програми обміну дозволяють з юного віку вивчати щось незвичне та формувати фундамент дорослої особистості (українською - тут https://exchangemepodcast.com/ua/stories/xme3). In this episode recorded for Exchange Me Podcast, we reflect on some curious flashbacks of the high school & university days and discuss the ways in which exchange programs like FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange Program) help teenagers and young adults to experiment, explore their interests & build a solid foundation to the further well-being. Now you, my listeners will get to know a bit more about some of my formative years in youth as well. 🟢 Підтримай нас на Buy me a coffee ☕ ⁠⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/goalsonfire/membership⁠⁠ і отримай додаткову цінність і ексклюзивний контент!

If you let your learning lead to action, you become wealthy,” — Jim Rohn;  Rich equals to current income while wealth is unspent or hidden income;  “Wealth creation is not an end… It's a crucial aspect of achieving a person's purposeful life.”  So wealth can help you provide meaning by helping others and building your own good life.
