Hi. I’m Mitchell. 👋
I spend an embarrassing amount of time researching, reading, and testing all things personal development.
But the good news for you…
This blog is distilled down to the very BEST things I’ve learned.
From learning about WTF is Trauma? to the Invisible Network Effect of Friendships or the Reverse Waiting framework for taking action.
I also write Making Connections for actionable insights in just 3 minutes a week. (Ex: color-coded energy alignment tracker)
