I’m Learning That Durability Matters More Than Going Viral

Episode 12. Recording from Georgetown, Penang. First time at the seaside since leaving Bali. Three stories this week. A finance update on a position that finally closed. An insurance arbitration that just got a home tie. And a week in Kuala Lumpur that involved a shopping mall, a plastic box, baby oil, and a domestic dispute with Yvonne. Also. 19 people did something this week that gave me more of a buzz than 21,000 subscribers. Second Wind is on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Links below.
