While listening to this episode before hitting publish, some lessons popped out that I think are worth mentioning. See if you can find them as you listen.

Be flexible. While planning is a must, we also need to be prepared to pivot.
Be curious. Opportunities don’t always appear as you envision them. Ask yourself, “what if”.
Be ready. It’s important to be ready and mindful so you are prepared seize upon the opportunities as they present themselves.
