Despite Cigna's best efforts to give me everything I ever asked for, the whole time, I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. So I had all kinds of really weird side hustles throughout those four years.""It's been full time, literally nothing but podcasting. It's been six years later, and I've only done podcasting. I was so excited for it and it got a little bit of buzz. People were talking about it a bit, and I was like, 'Ah, finally, I got my thing.'""You have to learn how to prioritize things that you really don't need to do today but make all the difference in the world to make the product better all the time. Learning how to think in systems has helped me with working with clients, working with people, working with employees, and made me a great dog trainer."Resources MentionedSIGN UP FOR KEVIN’S COURSE: https://www.growtheshowlive.com/harryX/Twitter - https://x.com/kevinchemidlinInstagram - https://instagram.com/kevinchemidlinLinkedin - https://linkedin.com/in/kevinchemidlinPodcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube:
