WEEKLY RECAP: Take an “Active Pause” to Reset & Regroup

Notes from Chris

Episode 1072

THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 49 of Season III! The final countdown begins. The “Active Pause” In Ep. 1062, we featured the story of an engineer who stumbles into a custom cartography business. He found it after a few previous attempts at e-commerce failed. Instead of trying again right away, he began volunteering at a local maker’s space ... it was there that he learned a new skill, surrounded himself with creative people, and then got the idea that became his new venture. It’s often helpful to step back and get another perspective on a challenge. Listen to today's Weekly Recap to hear more...
