Ever wondered how to measure success beyond the numbers that society often prioritizes? Join me, Todd Bertsch, on this eye-opening episode of The BOLT Podcast as we challenge the conventional success metrics. Inspired by a poignant story involving my son's high school assignment, we highlight the importance of aligning success with personal values and intrinsic goals. Drawing wisdom from Bruce Lee, we explore practical steps like self-reflection, setting meaningful objectives, and finding a balance between traditional metrics and genuine fulfillment. Tune in for heartfelt insights and actionable tips to help you redefine what success means to you.

In this episode, we journey into living a life free of regrets by staying true to our authentic selves. Drawing from Marshall Goldsmith's powerful book "The Earned Life," we emphasize the priceless value of time and the necessity of focusing on what genuinely matters. Through a thought-provoking exercise where we imagine our own eulogies, we gain perspective on our life’s true desires. Regular self-check-ins and reassessments are encouraged to keep us on a path to lasting happiness and fulfillment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone, especially the younger generation, aiming to cultivate an enriched, joyful life without looking back with regret.
