Special Episode #200: Hearing From You, Our Valued Listeners
Greetings, SuperFriends, and welcome to a very special episode, number #200, of The SuperHuman Academy Podcast!
Can you all believe it's already been 200 episodes? I certainly cannot!
For thisĀ episode, we tried to put our heads together to think of another way to commemorate this massive milestone. Now, if you remember the last time we hit a milestone of this proportion, episode #100, I went back and reviewed my top takeaways from all 100 episodes. Well, that nearly killed me, so we didn't do that again.
Instead,Ā we took a page out of Tim Ferriss's playbook, and did a drunk dial – except I haven't had a sip of alcohol in 3.5 years, so we did a sober dial!
I called everywhere and everyone from the United Kingdom, to Baghdad, Turkey, Vancouver, Salt Lake City, Wisconsin, and Egypt. I answered your own questions, and, to be honest, I had a really great time doing it!
Without any further ado, I'm going to present to you, well, you! If you enjoy this episode by the way, and you want to hear me do more of them, let me know by shooting out a tweet to @gosuperhuman, and letting us know that you enjoyed it. If you did, well we will do many more episodes just like this.
Now, without any further ado, you!
