Ep. 1 - "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.
Welcome to Founder's Ascent. In this podcast, we will explore self improvement, success, and motivation through the stories of Founders. These Founders are not just entrepreneurs who created startups that became successful businesses, but those who founded a new lifestyle, purpose, or mindset that allow them to pursue success, money, and/or fame without sacrificing health or happiness. The journeys of athletes, innovators, philosophers, and creators will inspire discussion between our co-hosts and guests who share their ideas on life. Feel free to subscribe to get our next episode which airs every Tuesday at 12pm CST.
