The Always Better Challenge Show: Recent Episodes
Joe Bedford
The Always Better Challenge Show has the simplest mission: to leave each and every listener a little better off after each episode. I want to provide MOtivation, INspiration, and INformation. There is enough negativity in the world, I want to be your personal positive boost! The mission is simple, but the scope is wide: let's try to move your life forward on EVERY front. Therefore, I plan to cover topics such as health (the GREATEST wealth!), career, time management, organization, finances, mindset, and other related topics. The show comes out every weekday. Regular episodes are around 30 minutes, and "Turbo Boost" episodes are around 5 minutes.
