You may be wondering why this episode looks a lot shorter than the episodes that you're used to seeing from me. We're taking a bit of a pivot for a period of time while I’m in a moment of transition in my life. I’m moving away from being a full-time employee, to an entrepreneur, consultant, etc.

I am going to be writing, podcasting, public speaking, coaching and consulting, I'm also going to be investing in private equity and real estate. And what that looks like is I will be starting some businesses in those areas. And getting those businesses off the ground takes a lot of time. And what I found was, I didn't have enough time to dedicate to the conversations I was having, with the amazing guests that were coming on this show.

And so what I'm going to do for a period of time, is I'm going to do some shorter episodes. And they're nuggets, they're bits of wisdom. They're things that I've written about whether it's on social media, or whether it's in my newsletter, if you're not reading, feel free to go to the website, thegrowth.guide, and sign up for the newsletter, sign up for the YouTube and sign up for the podcast. The more people that registered, the better it is for us and the better we will be able to get guests when we do start interviewing people again.

In this episode, I introduce the concept of "planting seeds" for future success, and how present actions and patience are required for long-term growth. I encourage you all to consider the seeds you want to plant in various areas of your lives for a better future.
