We each have a different life path that leads to our success, but success looks different for everyone. In the I Should Have Learned This Sooner self-improvement podcast, host Tim Winfred dives into conversations with guests to discuss the life lessons we wish had learned sooner: From financial education, money and debt, mental health, entrepreneurship, career, starting a business, personal relationships, and more. Each episode is loaded with personal development and self-improvement tips, and probably a few bad jokes (that only the Millennial generation will get, most likely). Let’s dive into these topics together with an open mind and a desire to thrive. Follow Tim on Instagram and Twitter at @contimporary and visit LearnedSooner.com for more information.
