EP #117: Being a Change Maker with Ryan Lindner
If you’ve ever wanted to make something in your life different, you’ve felt some resistance before. Sometimes, that resistance comes from an outside source, and others, it comes from within. The most effective change-makers are able to identify a source and figure out how best to address an issue. What if the change you want to make isn’t just about you?

He’s there to facilitate the right introspection process. This episode is designed to help you get “unstuck” and move from a person with an important role to a fulfilled member of a greater cause.
