It took a near death car crash with my fiance in 2022 to shock me into perceiving life differently. I quit my job, sold my house and moved 4,000 miles around the world to start a business and a podcast, something I had always wanted to do. Today, this podcast sits in the top 1% globally and we've had more than $3bn in guest appearances. Life is short and difficult, but this podcast should make it a little bit easier.👉 SPONSOR:https://pithandstem.com🎧 WATCH FOR FREE YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyEntrepreneurPodcast📧 JOIN 7,000 OTHERS AND SIGN UP TO THE HEALTHY HUSTLE My weekly newsletter where I share actionable marketing tips, podcast guesting advice, and high quality lessons from conversations with $3 billion worth of guests I've interviewed directly to your inbox: https://healthy-hustle.beehiiv.com/  🙏 LEAVE A REVIEW If you enjoyed listening to the podcast, I would love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-healthy-entrepreneur-podcast/id1661258211  Hosted on Acast.
