We all have them. Setbacks. We cannot avoid them either. So the question is, how do we deal with them? How can we make the most of them? In this episode, I share a few pretty simple ideas for how to get over setbacks and how to come out stronger. Email me: hello@thefutureacademy.com

In this episode, I talk about indisputably the most important ingredient behind all successful people - self-education. Anyone who believes that traditional education methods will be enough to prepare you for your whole career is nuts. The only way to stay relevant, the only way to stay ahead is to commit yourself to non-stop learning. In this episode, I discuss the absurd statement that I often hear, which is "Why should I pay for self-education when all information is free?". This belief is what holds so many people back. Investing in yourself is absolutely vital. For example, an online course is not something that TAKES time and COSTS money, but rather something you should think of as SAVING you time and MAKING you money.
