Mike Michalowicz has Big Goals and Time Freedom Too (S2 Ep. 1)

Описание: Today on the podcast, Brian and Kirby welcome Mike Michalowicz. Mike, 53 and married with adult children lives in Boonton, NJ. He is an author, speaker, and investor centered on his collection of more than ten bestselling books.

In this episode… Mike kicks off season two by challenging the idea that time freedom means slowing down. He shares how he maintains authority over 80% of his schedule while chasing big goals, why he keeps a photo of his 80-year-old self on his desk, and how a decade of tracking annual intentions has shifted his focus toward family and health. Brian and Mike also dig into why big goals don't require big money, and what real time freedom actually looks like.
