THEMES & TAKEAWAYS:

We’ve just finished week 5 of Season III!

February has arrived, and my gym is back to being less crowded. But not you, right? You are sticking with your resolutions. If not, you can start again right now, today. And make sure one of those resolutions is to invest in yourself.

In today’s recap: a note on accountability, an audio update from a previously featured story, and a discussion about purchasing Amazon returns and reselling them (here's the link to that Atlantic article!).

WHERE ARE THEY NOW:

Today, we have an update from Evan Oxhorn, who was featured on the show in Ep. 175.

Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Evan himself!
