I’m joined by #1 international bestselling author of The Third Door, Alex Banayan. You might remember Alex from episodes 152 or 235 where he shared his journey to launching his book and the incredible story behind it. We catch up on what he’s been up to since then, and do a deep dive into his massive act of generosity that he embarked on during the pandemic. We discuss how that inspired him to create a free, simple tool to help people find clarity and fuel growth in just 30 days, and how you can get involved with that challenge. Plus, he gives his take on The Great Resignation, what he’s learned about success over his ten years of studying it, and the three questions that can help launch your next career move.
