198. The Habit that Cost $100MM to Learn and Why It Was Worth It (Part 2) – Keith Cunningham

Jul 15, 2019 | 0 comments

Do you have a habit of taking time to ask yourself big questions?

In the last episode, we learned about how Keith Cunningham lost $100MM dollars – and why it was worth it because he developed this habit of thinking time. Really, we could all benefit from blocking off time in our calendars to purposefully sit down with great questions that truly evaluate how we’re showing up in the world and help us gain clarity.

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Keith and learn more about the biggest mistakes that people make as a result of not having thinking time blocks.
