Today's podcast episode is a special one as it is the beginning of a new era. I'm rebranding my podcast. We have a new logo and a new name. It's now called Momentum, and it's a self-improvement podcast focused on helping you build momentum in your life. I've also upgraded the podcast production and we have finally gone video with the podcast! I explain the reasoning behind all these changes and more! The main focus of the episode is on discipline, what it is, what ingredients make up the discipline recipe, what missing ingredient we miss most of the times and how to build unbreakable self-discipline.
