My readers love specifics like brand and model, where you found it, etc.” It’s been a while I didn’t listen to audiobook and recently I downloaded back my audible and bought 2 new books on it. Forgot how useful and convenient it was to listen to audiobooks since you can do it while doing anything. I love it because even if I’m busy I can always learn more with that.

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Do you have a “favourite failure” of yours? Health, fitness or lifestyle related. Regarding life, I used to make a lot of money to spend it all on stupid thing for my ego and to impress people I didn’t care about. Ended up doing a bankruptcy to restart from zero and since then I manage my money very differently and smarter.

If you could have a gigantic billboard anywhere with anything on it — metaphorically speaking, getting a message out to millions or billions — what would it say and why?
