How to Become the Person the People You Love Need Most | John R. Miles - EP 798
Summary

He shares his own struggles with the "arrival trap" and discusses insights from guests like Jess Ekstrom, Arthur Brooks, and Guy Kawasaki on finding meaning beyond achievement. Citing the Harvard Study of Adult Development, Miles emphasizes that healing our own wounds directly improves the health and well-being of our families and teams.
