One of the things that I set out to understand through this podcast is how to define success as a bentora in the workforce. Where should we be? Many of my rebum emphasize having very ambitious goals. How do we balance that with the blessed constraints of work, family, and community? This is what we are talking about during L. This week's are talking about during L.
