My guest, today on the podcast, is returning friend Jordan Criss. As always, Jordan jumps on the podcast, and it's off to the races. This particular episode was recorded on new year's Eve, a couple of hours before 2021. We took this time to reflect on the year. This year was a whole bunch of change for all of us personally outside of the podcast. We dove in around the different things we learned about ourselves and what changed in 2020.
Even though we could have talked about the negatives in which we did talk about many of the negatives, we try to look for silver linings in both our lives in our relationships, and then also in our behaviors so that we could go into now 2021 with that much of a foot forward.
I think it's good to ask a question here. What do you take away? From 2020 that sets you up, for now, success or future success, not just 2021, but in the future, did you learn something about yourself that surprised you and that now you feel like you're ready for a challenge that you weren't before and I'll leave you with that.
Cause I think that's a great way to prime you for this conversation with Jordan Criss, and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for listening.

On this podcast episode, Jordan Criss returns for a long-overdue discussion on Life and Fulfillment. We start the conversation with the idea that most people are actively disengaged with what they spend most of their time. From there, we cover imposter syndrome, healthy habits, procrastination, and focusing on what matters most to you regardless of the current outcome. Life is about playing a long game. Toward the end of the conversation, I was reminded of a book called The Road to Character. One of the core messages is to think more deeply about the eulogy virtues than resume virtues since modern life is more focused on the latter. In the end, each of us has to figure out what fits best for our life; no matter what, it will be a process. The faster you embrace the process, the less painful it will be. So with that, I pass this off to the listener. What else can we explore if you've encountered the mentioned sources, your own experiences, or any other related ideas?
