This is split up into something I've coined the "Core Four"

One: Moving

Two: Nutrition

Three: Intention

Four: Meditation

I go through some of the biggest personal development leaders in the world and assess their morning routines and learnings. From Tony Robbins, Robin Sharma, Mel Robbins, Tim Ferris, they all have their own routine which they have mastered over the years.

Essentially you can hear about theirs and create your own morning routine menu.

Hope you enjoy this solo one. As always a huge thank you to every single listener.
