About this episode
There are certain things in life that don't have to get done, and then there are priorities that absolutely must get done well. On today's show we discuss what it takes to thrive on purpose, and specifically we're discussing the importance of flexibility. Today I speak with author and social impact leader Wendy Teleki . Wendy argues we shouldn't be afraid to recalibrate and make the big changes when we need to.
