Finding Better Podcast
by John Suzuki
At Finding Better, our mission is to help you facilitate the ’better’ you want by offering you a unique and transformative opportunity to uncover the path towards a better and more fulfilling life. Our platform is designed to guide you in your pursuit of a ’better’ version of yourself, and the key lies in the invaluable experiences shared by those who have successfully traversed this very journey. Our approach is firmly grounded in the notion that real-life stories, personal trials, and experiences of successful individuals are the most authentic sources of inspiration and guidance. This experiential element is what sets Finding Better apart. We provide a platform where folks who have gone through their unique challenges and emerged triumphant, willingly share their life-altering insights, strategies, and practical wisdom. Our host John Suzuki believes we all have three careers; first to learn and go to school, second to earn and make a living, and third to return and give back. Now in
