Episode 20 - Digging Deep and Connecting to the Soul with Guest Laura McDonell

Does the word "evolve" resonate with you? Laura and I bonded over our love of this powerful, dynamic word! In this episode, Laura shares her strategy for testing ideas before bringing them into the classroom. She also explains how she is focused on going wide and deep to magnify the gratitude.   Shoutout to Tom Brenner, a coach that cares so much and gives his all to each of his runners.
