064 You thought you were in control… until life said otherwise | Jeff Taylor

About this episode

Jeff Taylor shares his experience of how his life unraveled and the insights gained from that journey.

There’s a moment where the plan works… and still isn’t what you thought it would be. And then sometimes, it all disappears anyway. In this episode, Jeff Taylor shares what happened when the life he built unraveled - and how what followed made more sense looking back than it ever did in the moment.
