Keep going

Hey there, and welcome to Further! I’ve got some great personal development resources for you this week.

That said, I’m about to get on a series of planes that will take me to the other side of the world. I’ll be speaking at and attending a week-long conference in the Philippines.

Enjoy and keep going!
