π― The Compound Effect
"Every day, you're feeding your mind with wisdom. Every day, you're taking small actions based on what you've learned. Every day, you're becoming a slightly better version of yourself."

Episode Quotes
"Sometimes the most powerful solutions aren't the newest, shiniest techniques. Sometimes they're the wisdom that's been forgotten, waiting for someone to dust it off and bring it back to light."

"Your biggest breakthrough might be just one discovery away."
