Episode 365
GRATITUDE & TAKING ACTION IN 2018: Welcome to episode #365! It’s the end of the year! 364 days ago we began this podcast with a mission: to bring you story after story of people creating freedom and options—and making money—without quitting their job. I can hardly believe it myself, but … we did it. We’re going to keep this recap short and sweet because 2018 will start with a bang. Mostly I want to say thank you. What a joy it’s been to bring you this show! I'd also like to add a special acknowledgment for year-long listeners who have been with us from the beginning and binge listeners like @AerocityMusic who sent in the tweet below. 341 episodes in 10 days!!
