012 - The One Thing You Should Know About Mental Discipline
Your weekly summary of wisdom straight into your inbox
Hey friends,
First of all, I’m happy to “see” a couple of new faces in here - thanks for subscribing!
As there is already so much content out, I noticed that it’s becoming harder to reach more people, so thanks again for spending your precious time with me and hopefully you feel inspired by this weeks’ content.
As the old Greeks used to say “Change is the only constant in life”, Knowcast will also change a bit. No worries, the frequency and content will remain the same, only the structure will be a bit different moving forward.
Every week I share the most insightful and interesting resources I found on the following topics:
(1) business & entrepreneurship
(2) mindfulness & philosophy
(3) self-development & productivity
(4) creativity & learning
I hope everybody is as exciting as I am about this week’s episode.
