In this episode, I share a framework I created for CRUSHING IT in 2025! This came out of a few articles I wrote recently. You can find them on my website at: https://kosturos.com/post/goals https://kosturos.com/post/the-dark-side-of-ambition https://kosturos.com/post/the-art-of-crushing-it This episode, and the framework are the culmination of this thought process. As you will learn, this is NOT a formula. It's meant to a guide you can use as you discover what crushing it looks like to you. Additionally, I share why I decided to change the name of the podcast from Operation Upgrade to Spoke To Me. I've been on this journey for a few years and have always wanted to call my show Spoke To Me. It was in going through the framework that it became clear to me that this is the right call. I hope something in here speaks to you! If it does, please share it with a friend, leave a review and comment, and don't forget to subscribe.
