In this week’s mini episode, I want to share a story about the person in my life who always embodied his core values - my Grandpa. He taught me that you don’t have to shout what you believe from the rooftops when you live your life exemplifying it. After listening to this story, a great question for us to ask is, “Am I living a life where my priorities and values are clear, or do I get caught up in the day-to-day?”
