Last week, Bob reached out to Nick to ask if he wanted to be his accountability partner and with no hesitation, Nick said yes.
The rules were for this accountability partnership was that we were going to set some deadlines for actionable goals. If one of us didn’t reach those goals set by the deadline, then the other party would get to cash in a check for however amount we want to risk.
We would check in weekly to see if we accomplished the goals or not.
As we were talking about this, we realized how amazing the conversation we just had and we bought up the idea that we should record the conversation like that and release it as a podcast. This is the week after that.
