remote work.

It's the second appearance of Mike Rosen on the Needle Movement podcast. He's become our resident mental health expert (not officially, but sorta true).

Mike and Stephen have an in-depth conversation about success and how to stay sane throughout your career, full of applicable tips listeners can use.

Plus, he's also got an amazing relationship gem to share - it's that good.

Mike's last appearance was episode 10 which was good enough that Stephen's family demanded his return (his mother requested it). So, we made it happen.

What are you waiting for? Tune in and remember: Your mental health matters too! You deserve every opportunity for happiness and success in life!
