The Daily Growth Podcast
The Why:
We believe everyone, including you, has the potential to grow and improve their lives and work, and have a better life.
Because, when you grow, your life can change for the better. And when that happens, your organization, business, and community begins to flourish . And when that happens, so does the world.
The What:
The Daily Growth Podcast is a short, daily podcast (5 days a week) that teaches different principles and skills everyday that you can then use that day to improve your life and work.
Each episode generally covers one topic, and each episode is usually between 5-10 minutes long.
It’s short and simple so that you can make listening to it a part of your daily routine and then being to try to implement that one principle that day.
The Who:
Thomas R. Harris, the founder of The Exceptional Skills, hosts the podcast on a daily basis (though there may be guests at times).
He pulls from his experiences (mostly of not doing it right!) and from intense studying on these topics to help you learn and apply each topic.
