In this week’s episode we dive deep into what it means to be successful and discuss how we can shift from a lack mentality when it comes to our creative paths. We discuss how to redefine ambition as a daily roadmap, rather than hyper-focusing on an imaginary ‘sparkly castle’ that we want to arrive at. “Man plans, and god laughs” is a quote we reflect on and how leaning into the everyday is the most healthy way of living.
