Ep 16: 11 Principles For Success And A Kick Ass Life with Tommy Baker

In this latest episode of Resist Average Academy, it's just going to be you and me for the entire session.

I wrote a blog post a few months back that received unbelievable feedback and shares titled, 11 Principles For Success And A Kick Ass Life.

I thought it was time to do a solo podcast session where I explored these 11 principles from my point of view and after having done 15 amazing Resist Average Academy sessions where many of these principles were explored.

You can find the original link to the blog post here: http://bit.ly/principlesTBF

I'd absolutely love your feedback on this show as it's the first one I have done without a guest -- it's in my plan to do these every so often, although usually shorter versions.
