Podyssey Picks (Aug 28)
This week’s podcast picks features some great community recommendations, including an episode on how the very rich think vs the rest of us, what happens if we can make the feeling of fear go away, and how you’re being watched at work right now.
We’re also excited to highlight our community sponsor this week, the The Jordan Harbinger Show where self-motivated people dig deep into the untapped wisdom of the world’s sharpest minds — from legendary creators to intelligence operatives, iconoclastic writers to visionary change-makers.
