#1 - 21 Lessons

Thrive Mode Radio

Welcome to the first episode of the Thrive Mode Radio podcast. Today host Marcus MacKay shares with us the lessons he learned over the past year and rounds up 21 of them for us to also reflect on. Because a year ending and another beginning is also a good time to think about the things we did or didn’t, what we lost or gained, and what we learned or are still striving to learn.
