Good morning everyone! This episode of the Weekly Grind is back to the old, "just me" format this week.
I take some time to look at my past week from a macro perspective, and look at what went wrong, what is going well, and what I can do better this week.
Good Morning Everybody!
Eddie interviews Nate the Great Robertson, a schoolteacher and wrestling commentator, as they cover mental health, emotional intelligence, and the great American Novel.
Good morning everyone!
This week's episode focuses a lot on learning from your mistakes of the past, and making paradigm shifts to ensure better performance in the future.
Good Morning!
Trying out a slightly new format for this episode! I want this to feel more like a morning chat with a friend than me just lecturing for 20 minutes. Hope you enjoy the podcast, and I hope you get something out of what I share in this episode!
The First Steps of a Writer
Everyone's comes from a different place when it comes to the journey of being a writer. I thought some people might benefit from hearing the beginning of my story, and seeing how much of it they can relate too.
Let me know about the beginnings of your story. What did you write when you first started writing? How old were you? What inspired you to write? I'm fascinated to find out.
Thank you for listening!
After much ado, The Daily Grind is back!
Eddie is back to show the hard work, dedication, and passion that goes into pursuing your dreams, in a new format with an all new feel.
This week we're looking at New Year's resolutions and goalsetting, and how to do it effectively so that you can actually stick to them this time around.
