Season 6, Ep. 54

In this week's episode I've got some useful tips for getting closer to whatever you want out of life. I'm looking at F1 race strategy as a model for building your own strategy for navigating the path from where you are now, to where you want to be. Plus, in part two, I'm reflecting on my own experience of debilitating nerves during pitstops and giving you some tips on how to overcome your own in those big moments. Enjoy.
